Many scholars and philosophers inspired by Antiquity, have commented upon a transformation of lived religion and a changing picture and technology of the Self during Late Antiquity. The Nag Hammadi Library contains a diverse body of thought and it is here argued that these texts are found in the epicentre of Late Antique conversion of religion and Self, containing important illustrations of new em

Den här rapporten utgår från empirisk data som samlats in inom ramen för det rättssociologiska forskningsprojektet Kränkningar i en digital kontext som finansieras av Brottsofferfonden. Bearbetningen har genomförts av Måns Svensson (projektansvarig) och Karl Dahlstrand, båda verksamma vid Rättssociologiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet. Rapporten har sammanställts på uppdrag av Ungdomsstyrel

Despite many years of implementations, issues surrounding the success or failure of information systems are still shrouded in mystery. In a quest to improve business outcomes from such systems an IS analyst should have a key role to play. Organizational IS can be seen as a composition of indi-vidual and organizational learning processes, and as such is in a constant state of change. Knowledge as a

A microfluidic device for particle washing was designed utilizing an acoustic standing wave field in a micro channel. Particles were focused in the center of the channel by the acoustic radiation force while the original carrier media was shifted sideways (orthogonal to the flow) at a number of consecutive wash fluid flow junctions along the main flow. Experiments were carried out in order to comp

In temperate regions, many vector-borne parasites maximise their transmission prospects by adjusting reproduction to seasonal cycles of host susceptibility and vector availability. Nevertheless, in these regions there are areas where environmental conditions are favourable throughout the year, so that parasites could benefit from a year-round transmission strategy. We analysed how different transm

This study investigates online material published in reaction to a Science magazine report showing the absence of peer-review and editorial processes in a set of fee-charging open access journals in Biology. Quantitative and qualitative textual analyses are combined to map conceptual relations in these reactions; and to explore how understandings of scholarly communication and publishing relate to

The extent to which in-situ global mechanical tensioning (GMT) can be used to modify the residual stress state in friction stir (FS) welds is investigated in this article. Residual stress distributions have been determined by synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction for four sets of FS welds in high-strength AA7449-W51 and lithium containing AA2199-T8 aerospace aluminum alloys subjected to a syst

This dissertation aims to investigate and analyze people's preparation for retirement. The study has been made through semi-structured interviews with 78 people born between the years 1931-1981 regarding their preparations for retirement. The analysis is based on the model Reflexive Planning for Later Life, coping, bounded rationality, behavioural finance and the concept of governmentality, and

Emission trading schemes (ETS) have emerged as a popular climate policy measure and are increasingly advocated as policy instruments to support the transition to a green economy. Using complementary analytical methods, this research investigated the institutional developments and complexities of the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS). It focuses on (1) institutional experience and admin

Rapporten behandlar arbetsmiljön vid termisk ogräsbekämpning. Metoden innebär att ogräset hettas upp med hjälp av gaslågor. Både stora fordonsburna och mindre handdrivna används. Det som från arbetsmiljösynpunkt är speciellt med metoden är de risker som är förknippade med gasolanvändningen. De allvarligaste problemen med de aggregat som studerats har varit heta och oskyddade plåtar, heta avgaser o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Turismindustrin är numera en av världens absolut största industrier. Den är av central betydelse för ekonomisk utveckling och arbetstillfällen i ett stort antal länder. Det finns dock en baksida: turism leder ofta till exploatering av miljön, och bidrar i många fall till sociala och kulturella problem. Dagens turismindustri är inte förenlig med hållbar utveckling och deTourism has become a leading industry in the world and continues to grow rapidly, contributing essentially to economic growth and employment in many countries. Tourism as it looks today poses serious threats to the environment and considerable social and cultural challenges. The problem addressed by this research lies in the weakness of current concepts and practices in pursuit of sustainable tour

Popular Abstract in Swedish Huvudtanken i svensk välfärdspolitik är att genom generella åtgärder skapa ett samhälle tillgängligt för alla medborgare. Det är därför viktigt att undvika segregering och särlösningar och i stället höja normalverksamhetens standard. Fritidshemmets mål och uppgifter är desamma för alla barn och kvaliteten i verksamheten ska vara så hög att alla barns behov tillgodoses. The main idea behind the Swedish welfare state is to create a society accessible to all citizens by using to general measures. It is, therefore, important to avoid segregation and special solutions, and instead increase the standard of normal activities. The objectives and tasks of day centres for school-age children are the same for all children and the quality of the operations should be of a st

The formation of micro-droplets due to a pulsative micro-jet (width of 40 mu m) is studied using the 3D Navier-Stokes equations for multi-phase flows using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) and Volume of Solid (VOS) models. The droplet formation is studied for different transient velocity conditions and mass rates. The numerical results show reasonable agreement with both analytical theory and experimenta

In this article we take the classic meaning of exemplum as a point of departure to show how examples are marked and used in oral discourse on 'others'. The empirical material is a transcribed focus group interview with Swedish students talking about a trip to Warsaw. Examples may be marked in explicit ways but also in implicit ways. Some examples seem recognizable by their allusive nature, others
