Literature on socio-technical transitions has primarily emphasized the co-determination of institutions and technologies. In this paper, we want to focus on how actors play a mediating role between these two pillars of a socio-technical system. By introducing the theoretical concept of institutional work, we contribute to the conceptualization and empirical assessment of agency processes in socio-

Pancreatic cancer is a challenging disease due to the low resection rate at the time of initial diagnosis. A relatively new classification of marginally resectable pancreatic cancer has emerged and there is some evidence that this subgroup of patients may benefit from neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy. The first major definition of marginally resectable pancreatic cancer was made at M. D. Anderson Can

Popular Abstract in Swedish Atomspektra har varit ett viktigt forskningsområde inom fysiken sedan mitten av 1800-talet. Då elektromagnetisk strålning, såsom synligt ljus, ultraviolett- och röntgenstrålning, är unik för varje grundämne ger ett observerat spektrum information om vilka slags atomer som emitterar strålningen. Exempelvis så visar spektra av ett vanligt lysrör att ljuset kommer från kviThe spectra of highly charged tungsten ions have been investigated using x-ray and extreme ultraviolet spectroscopy. These heavy ions are of interest in relativistic atomic structure theory, where high-precision wavelength measurements benchmark theoretical approaches, and in magnetic fusion research, where the ions may serve to diagnose high-temperature plasmas. The work details spectroscopic in

The aim of the present paper was to see why a recommended course of action is not always followed in the way it is supposed to. The paper deals with a new method (SFA-metoden) used by The Social Insurance Agency in working with sick-listed people. Aspects that are elaborated on are local effects of the method at its introduction, case managers work conditions, and control of the implementation of

Denna uppsats analyserar de rättsliga förutsättningarna för professionella fotbollsspelares möjlighet att ensidigt frånträda sitt anställningsavtal genom tränings- eller spelvägran samt vilka rättsliga konsekvenser ett sådant agerande kan få. Genom en analys av praxis från CAS visas att tolkningen av just cause är restriktiv och att tränings- och spelvägran som huvudregel betraktas som ett väsentlThis thesis analyses the legal conditions under which professional football players may unilaterally terminate their employment contracts through refusal to train or play, as well as the legal consequences of such conduct. Through an analysis of case law from CAS, it is shown that the interpretation of just cause is restrictive and that refusal to train or play is, as a general rule, regarded as a

Our main purpose was to enlighten the importance for the "samverkans-" project for the children of parents with a psychological disorder. The purpose of our empirical study was to examine if this project supports and give benefit to the children, a threatened group. Our questions were: How does the reality appear for a child of parents with a psychological disorder from a professional po

The prevalence of HIV has caused adverse impacts on rural households, not least in the northern Vietnam where the problem has become a development issue. Despite a rapid economic growth leading to donor withdrawal, huge income disparities still exists. As a result, a person facing the additional burden of HIV has to cope with an even greater distress than before. The aim of this research was there

Par som väljer att leva i ett samboförhållande istället för att gifta sig är idag inte ovanligt. Förr ansågs äktenskapet vara ett livslångt förhållande men idag skiljer sig många gifta par och den gamla tidens syn på äktenskapet har förändrats. Trots att dessa två samlevnadsformer upplevs som jämställda finns stora skillnader i det rättsliga skyddet för makar och sambor. Uppsatsen behandlar de legPeople that choose to live together without getting married is not as unusual today as it was some years ago. Back in the day, marriage was a lifelong commitment, however, that is not always the case today. The two ways of living in a relationship, married or not, might seem like two equal systems, but there are big differences in the legal protections you are granted if you are married or just co

The aim of this study is to analyze the concept of security in the European Union’s Neighbourhood policy (ENP). The ENP have since its launch in 2004 been evaluated several times, the latest in 2015, where it was established that more focus was to be placed on the security aspect of the policy. Thus, the author of this study seeks to answer the following questions: - What meaning does the EU ascr

Syftet med det här examensarbetet är att undersöka hur framkomligheten för olika trafikslag påverkas av att införa cykelöverfarter i tre korsningspunkter i Malmö. Det görs genom att försöka svara på följande frågor: Hur ligger forskningsläget kring framkomlighet för cyklar, bilar och bussar vid införandet av cykelöverfarter? Hur har framkomligheten för de trafikslagen påverkats av cykelöverfarter The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the level of service for different transport modes are affected by the introduction of bicycle crossings at three crossing points in Malmö by trying to answer the following questions: What is the research situation on how the level of service for cyclists, cars and buses is affected when introducing bicycle crossings? How has the level of service fo

As the world gets more urbanised, numerous areas have been forced to develop rapidly into something larger, to provide cheaper living options, and faster mode of transportation. Despite the more convenient life’s mobility it leads to, many urban transformations can also create social drawback and hinder the real life interaction among its inhabitants, as a result of the unaccommodating built envir
