Majoriteten av världens extremt fattiga bor i rurala områden och 300 miljoner av dem i Indien och Kina. Trots att länderna kommit en bit på vägen i sin strukturella omvandling arbetar fortfarande runt hälften av befolkningen på landsbygden inom jordbruket. De direkta och indirekta effekterna som den primära sektorn skapar har visat sig viktiga av olika anledningar. Hur detta kommer sig undersöks n

Popular Abstract in Swedish Varje år besöker ungefär 100 000 människor från hela världen klostret i den lilla franska byn Taizé. De flesta är ungdomar. Och 4000 av dem är svenskar. Här stannar de en vecka och deltar i brödernas intensiva andaktsliv tre gånger dagligen. Andakterna kännetecknas av meditativ tystnad och korta repetitiva mantra-lika sånger. Vad händer med en människas religiösa attityA considerably small amount of empirical research was found on the process of religious facilitation through liturgical participation and worship (cf., Heimbrock & Boudewijnse, 1990; Wikström, 1994a, 1994b).

OBJECTIVE: To test the effect of barusiban and a reference compound, atosiban, on oxytocin-induced activity of myometrium from women at preterm pregnancy in comparison to myometriu

Within a course in academic writing, first-term students of English currently construct individualized study-plans detailing both what they should do during the term and when they should do it. Students calculate the average workload for all their courses, and include in their study-plans all the hours they should spend both in and outside the classroom on each course, totalling in 40-hour working

The aim of this article was to analyze the retold experiences of 27 survivors from the 1990s war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I have examined verbal markers of reconciliation and implacability and I have analyzed described terms for reconciliation that are being actualized in the narratives.

Critical infrastructures provide indispensable services to society and extensive disruption of these give rise to large societal consequences. Most risk-related studies of critical infrastructures, however, focus rather narrowly on the direct consequences, e.g. expressed by services not supplied or cost of nonsupplied services. Although these measures might serve as a proxy for the direct societal

The society depends on reliable and robust services provided by technical infrastructures for its function. The impact of large-scale outages due to the inherent vulnerabilities of technical infrastructures has been demonstrated, for example, by the power outage in the U.S. in 2003 and the power outages in Sweden due to the storms Gudrun in January 2005 and Per in January 2007. Two of the main app
