A short historical summary of Bildung and hermeneuticsis given, followed by a discussion concerning the positioning and conceptualization of the individual within the

The crustal segment Volgo-Uralia is the least known part of the East European Craton. Its crystalline crust is hidden beneath a thick Neoproterozoic to Phanerozoic cover but disclosed by thousands of drill holes. In conjunction with the recent "Tatseis" reflection seismic profile, we conducted the first isotopic study of the Bakaly granitoid block in eastern Volgo-Uralia, which represents a subsur

Methods: Functional ability was assessed using Sonn and Asberg's Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale and related to LS assessed by Neugarten

The additional effect of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction on muscle strength and physical performance after a structured exercise programme is not well understood.

Glutathione, the most abundant low-molecular weight thiol in the skin, has been shown to protect the skin from both photobiological and chemical injury. The thiols, glutathione in particular, have also been shown to be crucially involved in defence against contact allergens. Since the levels of extracellular thiol concentrations are important determinants of intracellular thiol status, we have com

A peripheral nerve injury has a profound impact on the patient’s life and such an injury causes high costs for society. A peripheral nerve injury is a very complex injury because it involves both peripheral and central components of the nervous system all the way from targets at muscle and skin receptors up to the brain. In the neuron and its supporting cells—mainly Schwann cells—there are numerou

Contemporary economic landscapes are particularly active with mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcies, and corporate takeovers, and the set of managerial elite who are in decision making positions are inextricably connected to these events. In this thesis I offer an anthropological perspective of these dynamics by considering the possible connection between processes of trans- national capitalist elit

Efter en kort introduktion till internationell migration som fenomen samt de relevanta folkrättsliga normerna övergår uppsatsen till att behandla utlänningars ställning inom mänskliga rättigheter, genom en undersökning av tre av FN:s konventioner för mänskliga rättighetThis thesis examines the international protection of migrant workers. After a brief description of the migration phenomenon and the corresponding international legal framework, the position of aliens under human rights law is addressed through a review of three human rights conventions adopted within the framework of the United Nations. Following that, focus is turned to the international conventi
