Drawing on post-political theory the thesis explores the changes in the role of politics within the framework of the Swedish governmental commissions. The findings of the thesis show that the function of politics in the Swedish governmental commissions has shifted from a means to achieve consensus through the creation of policy despite the antagonistic nature of the political to a means to exclude
I denna text undersöktes orsakerna till överskuldsättning i Sverige, samt om överskuld- sättning kan vara orsakad av externa ekonomiska chocker eller personligt ansvar. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten var bland annat (Pålsson, 2001; SOU, 2013:78) och rapporter från Kronofogdemyndigheten. Begreppen extern ekonomisk chock och överskuldsättning diskuterades och preciserades för kontexten. ÖverskuldsättIn this text the causes of over-indebtedness in Sweden was examined, as well as if over-indebtedness may be caused by external economic shocks or personal responsibility. The theoretical starting point for the text was (Pålsson, 2001; SOU, 2013:78) and re- ports from the Swedish Enforcement Authority (Kronofogdemyndigheten) among other sources. The concept of external economic shock was discussed
Accurate determination of the genetic diversity present in the HIV quasispecies is critical for the development of a preventative vaccine: in particular, little is known about viral genetic diversity for the second type of HIV, HIV-2. A better understanding of HIV-2 biology is relevant to the HIV vaccine field because a substantial proportion of infected people experience long-term viral control,
This article addresses the temporality of resistance in the work context. We focus on the challenge of increasingly diminishing professional autonomy in higher education institutions as well as the vulnerability of staff subjected to academic managerialism. A case where a lecturer is exposed to the requirements to revise grading by senior administration is investigated. Power is understood from th
We present a three-year multidisciplinary research project that started in 2019 and is funded by FORTE (Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare). The theoretical aim of the project is to gain a better understanding of the principles that underlie successful communication between the sighted and the blind via audio description (AD). The aim of a series of experiments is to ideWe present a three-year multidisciplinary research project that started in 2019 and is funded by FORTE (Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare).

In wavefield signal apparition, acquisition with periodic variations in source activation parameters shifts all or part of a signal cone out to, e.g., the Nyquist wavenumber, enabling perfect separation of simultaneous-source (sim-source) data below a certain temporal frequency. Cyclic convolution in the spatial frequency domain is used to generalise the signal apparition concept to the case of ap
In this paper we present an approach to gaining increased anonymity from authorities within a VANET. Standardization organizations and researchers working on VANETs recognize privacy as highly important. However, most research focuses on privacy from other vehicles and external attackers, as opposed to privacy from system-administrating authorities. Our proposed solution forces authorities to reso

The present article is a functional analysis of intonation in Russian declarative utterances. Pragmatically relevant tonal patterns and their functions are identified and described. Utterances are analysed in terms of theme and rheme. Theme is signalled by a tonal rise and rheme by a falling tonal gesture. Beside thematic and rhematic tonal gestures, other rising accents in the utterance are ident
Much is known about the geoepidemiology of defined autoimmune diseases (AD); however, there is currently limited data regarding the prevalence of autoantibodies among healthy populations of different geographical areas. The aim of this study was to evaluate a large profile of autoantibodies in healthy adults from distinct global regions as well as the prevalence of anti-infectious agents antibodie
The purpose of this paper is to compare pension schemes with respect to their intergenerational redistributive effects caused by economic and demographic changes. It is shown how these effects depend on the specific design of the pension scheme, with special attention devoted to the indexation problem. There is a potential trade-off between financial stability of the pension system and a “desired”
The recipe described gives an easy to prepare, easy to handle and inexpensive fat phantom for the determination of absorbed-power distributions of microwave/radiofrequency radiation. If the phantom is used together with the high-water-content phantom (Guy 1971) the absorbed-power distributions can be determined in structured tissues. The phantom has been used in Utrecht to test the e-m boundary co
