Parallel computing is becoming more and more important in modern Finite Element Software. As problems grow larger, computation on a single processor may not be fast enough. To overcome this problem, one can utilize parallel programming using e.g SMP-machines or clusters. Furthermore, when local compute resources are scarce, it can be quite convenient to take advantage of non-local resources for pe
Den svenska jämställdhetspolitiken utgår från ett övergripande mål om att kvinnor och män ska ha samma möjligheter att forma både sitt eget liv och samhället. Målet bygger på en tanke om att det existerar ett strukturellt och ojämlikt maktförhållande mellan män och kvinnor. Det övergripande jämställdhetspolitiska målet anknyter på så sätt till Yvonne Hirdmans teori om genussystemet och den underorThe gender equality policy in Sweden is based on a main objective of equal opportunities for both men and women to shape their lives as well as the society. The objective is founded on an idea that there exists an unequal relationship of power between women and men. Therefore, the objective also relates to Yvonne Hirdmans theory on the gender system and the subordination of women that follows from

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vår läkemedelsanvändning har eskalerat de senaste två årtionden och vi har kunnat behandla, bota och förebygga sjukdomar samt minskat antalet oönskade graviditeter i större utsträckning jämfört med förr. Detta har dock också fört med sig negativa effekter och miljöproblem efter att läkemedlen kommer ut i naturen. Ett antal läkemedel är så kallade endokrina störningssubsSynthetic hormones are a group of pharmaceuticals used for various human and animal treatments. However, consumption and disposal of these substances have also given rise to negative effects and environmental problems for organisms in the wild which is why these substances have been classified as estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Studies on the estrogen receptors (ers) and their ge

There are many different metaphors, which help us make sense of the complex and ambiguous nature of organizations and organizing. In this paper I will discuss another one: resonance.

Departing from his theory

A significant amount of embodied energy, materials, and economic capital is tied to vacant and underused buildings. Sharing is an effective way to reduce the excess use of space. Beside sharing, much more focus should be placed on maximizing the functional use of existing buildings. Adaptive reuse can be effective not only in mitigating obsolescence, but also in enhancing the vitality of site surr
Background: Cervical cancer is a public health challenge despite the available free screening service in Ethiopia. Early screening for cervical cancer significantly improves the chances of successful treatment of pre-cancers and cancers among women of reproductive age.

Induced Cell Aging by Radiation Aging is a natural phenomenon that affects almost all living organisms and brings with it an array of disease. In humans, aging is in part due to shortening of one’s telomeres. Telomeres are sequences of DNA at the end of our chromosomes that do not code for any genetic information. Thus, they can serve as protection, non-coding DNA taking damage that would otherwi

Gender inequality in sports is a serious issue that needs to be defeated. The imbalance between the genders occurs in everything from media publicity to salaries, access to facilities and branding. Fortunately, football among women is getting more popular day by day, which has created a need for football shoes designed for women. However, still today, football brands rely on a “pink it and shr
Popular Abstract in Swedish Tarot är ett exempel på new age i praktiken. Tarotkorten har dock anor långt ned i den medeltida världen. Författaren återkommer till att new age erbjuder alternativ: kritik mot rationalitet, modernitet och ekonomisk utveckling. "Deltagarna är generellt sett skeptiska till det etablerade i samhället: medicinskt, politiskt och vetenskapligt. De vill bortse från det instiIn the course of my dissertation work, I have sought knowledge about what New Age is, contains, and conveys by looking at practice and rhetoric, how the participants act and reason regarding their commitment, as well as how the contents of the field is discussed. I have put an emphasis on the small details: the objects, the rituals, and the narrating. Using the tarot cards as a starting point, the
The article tells the modern love story of the organic grower Eduardo and the people who savor his apples. One remarkable paradigm shift when it comes to contemporary food culture is that the product’s social, political and cultural entanglements are no longer hidden from view. This new context has created platforms where producers and consumer come together to co-produce. Here, I broaden the conc
Under de senaste femtio åren har den katolska kyrkans ställning i Sverige radikalt förändrats. Fortfarande i början av 1960-talet betraktades katolicismen allmänt som ett hot mot det svenska samhället och mot svensk kulturell identitet, inte minst inom den svenska socialdemokratin. Idag är katolska kyrkan en accepterad del av det svenska samhället. I min artikel diskuterar jag denna förändringspro
