This is the third volume in a serial of books focusing on the concept of mystical death and related ideas, as described within the Christian mystical tradition and its Jewish and Greek roots. In the succeeding chapters these mystical elements and their development are followed up, both within the Western and Eastern Christian traditions. In the final chapters the author presents the German and Dut
This chapter will look at why, how and in what way a spontaneous memorial may develop: from an immediate act to a more planned place of grief and remembrance (Clark and Franzmann 2006, Nieminen Kristofersson 2006, Klaasens, Groote and Huigen 2009). Of special importance for this investigation are the noticeable differences in attitudes to and growths of roadside memorials revealed by data gleaned
The work presented in this thesis can be divided into the three following fields of investigation: First of all the ionization model developed in this thesis is meant to simulate the thermal ionization process or the so-called second peak. Equilibrium assumptions have been adopted for the modeling of the thermal ionization, in which Saha’s equation was derived for singly ionized molecules. The inv
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in palliative cancer care often experience methodological problems. In this paper we discuss issues of major concern, including recruitment, patient attrition and compliance, arising from an RCT that compared comprehensive palliative care to conventional care. The main criteria for trial entry were incurable malignant disease and a survival expectancy of between
Alltsedan det kalla kriget slutade har försvarssektorn, framförallt militär logistik och försvarsmaterielanskaffning, genomgått en genomgripande transformation. Flera faktorer har bidragit till transformationen: förändringar i länders och organisationers försvars- och säkerhetspolitik; reducerade försvarsbudgetar; deltagande i fredsbevarande och fredsframtvingande operationer; erfarenheter från deSince the ending of the Cold War, the defence sector, particularly the areas of military logistics and defence acquisition, has been undergoing a comprehensive transformation.

Den här studien syftar till att förstå och analysera de erfarenheter av själavård, med fokus på själavårdssamtal som svenska fältpräster bedrivit i Afghanistan under perioden 2002–2014. Vidare diskuterar jag utifrån det själavårdande perspektivet fältprästens övergripande funktion i utlandsstyrkan. I studien utgår jag från olika modeller för själavård vilka Berit Okkenhaug kategoriserat som kerygmThe aim of this study is to understand and analyse, with particular reference to pastoral care, the experiences of pastoral care Swedish army chaplains underwent in Afghanistan in the period 2002–2014.

Information om information kring klimatanpassning Klimatet förändras, och denna förändring är med största sannolikhet orsakad av människan. Detta konstateras av FNs klimatpanel i deras senaste rapport. Det finns idag information om vilka utmaningar vi står inför och jag har i min studie tittat på hur denna information används i kommuners arbete med klimatanpassning. Det finns en liknelse som föThis study has looked at eight municipalities in Scania and how they use climate related information in their work with climate adaptation, and what information they would like to have access to in order to take the next step. The municipalities were chosen on the basis of population and are no extreme cases; rather they are examples of an average Swedish municipality. How the usage of information
Den 30 oktober 2014 erkände Sverige staten Palestina. Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka om det svenska erkännandet av Palestina har stöd i folkrätten eller om erkännandet rentav utgör en folkrättsligt otillåten handling. Med utgångspunkt i de argument, för och emot riktigheten i erkännandet, som framförts från olika debattörer analyseras rättsläget för att avgöra vilka argument som har bäri
This thesis centers on the continued participation and agency of women in Sweden within the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, or ISKCON, despite its direct culture clash with Nordic egalitarian policy. While also addressing the translation of religious belonging into an identity given the increased interaction with the surrounding secular environment of Sweden. The motivation behind
Background/Problematization: Iconic brands are the gold standard of branding and have established a central role in the consumers’ lives. Behind every iconic brand, we can find iconic products. Despite the importance of these products, iconic products are overlooked in academia. Few studies have explored the concept and there is no common definition or comprehensive framework. This is restrictive
The study considers the phenomenon of double alienation, by which is meant the immigrant’s feeling of in a sense being alienated in their native country as well as in the new one. Those elements of their behaviour which are common in the one country or the other are expected there, whereas those which are not are seen as strange and different. This gives the immigrant a feeling of being at home in

En stor del av övervakningsmarknaden utgörs av domekameror, vilka genom den kontinuerlig teknikutvecklingen erbjuder mer och mer av den allra senaste tekniken i avseende att förbättra användarens upplevelse. mmWave radar är möjligtvis en sådan teknik, vars hastiga utveckling genom IT och bilindustrin, drivit på förbättrad prestanda och lägre kostnader. Traditionellt utmärker sig radarteknologin inA vital part of the surveillance market is constituted by dome cameras, which through constant technology development, feature more and more cutting-edge technology to increase the end user’s surveillance experience. mmWave radar is potentially one such technology, where the rapid development in recent years in IT and automotive industries, has propelled the technology with improved performance an
Bakgrund: På grund av krig, förföljelser och kränkningar ökar flyktingströmmarna i världen. Antalet människor på flykt 2021 var 89,3 miljoner. Miljöförändringar som asylsökande och flyktingar upplever påverkar alla aspekter av deras dagliga liv och uppfattning om sig själva. Begränsade möjligheter till meningsfulla aktiviteter i mottagarlandet har en ytterligare negativ påverkan på hälsa och välbeBackground: Refugee flows worldwide are increasing due to war, persecutions and harassments. In 2021 the number of refugees globally reached 89,3 million. Environment changes influenced asylum seekers and refugees in all aspects of daily living and self-concepts. Limited opportunities to participate in meaningful activities in the host country had a further negative impact on health and well-being
Idag sker majoriteten av alla kommersiella fastighetstransaktioner via bolag. Detta sker genom att först låta paketera fastigheterna i bolag, för att sedan avyttra aktierna i bolagen där fastigheterna ingår. Drivkraften bakom förvärvsmetoden är sänkta transaktionskostnader, främst genom skattebesparingar. Detta innebär att allt färre transaktioner sker på traditionellt vis, det vill säga som fast The trend of increasing commercial real estate transactions via companies has a negative impact on the process of estimating the taxable values. This due to the sharp decrease of comparison material for our Swedish authorities. Real estate transactions via companies also enable information about the transaction to be kept secret from outside parties. The study aims to show how various parties in t
Working Capital Management (WCM) is a management tool used in large companies to optimize the use of cash by minimizing the amount of cash tied up in working capital accounts, in order to reduce the risk of insolvency and to increase profitability. One of the main reasons why start-ups fail is related to liquidity issues. Despite a wide acceptance regarding the importance of WCM for start-ups, the
