This volume seeks to connect the field of Communication for Development and Social Change to theoretical thinking on the changing notions of the public sphere. It offers a space for critical analysis of how media and communication practices for social change, on the one hand, and analytic conceptions of public spheres and participation, on the other, are currently being reconfigured in both concep

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna doktorsavhandling analyserar Laos med avseende på relationen mellan landets ekonomiska integration och dess transport system. Avhandlingen presenterades vid Thammasat University, Thailand i september 2009. Studien är gjord inom ett större forskningsprojekt, MERN (Mekong Economic Research Network) med stöd från SIDA samt en rad institutioner i Laos och Thailand. JaThis dissertation provides an alternative perspective on the process of market integration by focusing on market integration within a nation's borders. The dissertation intends to go beyond traditional integration theory and examine various alternative approaches to market integration by using Lao PDR as an empirical example for assessing these alternative approaches empirically. The main objectiv

This paper is based on outcomes from SID (http://sid.desiign.org), a three-year project where twenty-four children with profound intellectual disabilities visited three MSE centres. SID's aim was to develop and demonstrate the potentials of interactive design in and for MSE practices together with the children and the pedagogical staff. In the project, we developed artefacts that were designed to

This unique single source combines cutting-edge research analysis with practical advice for clinicians and researchers dealing with reactions to trauma. In this well-referenced book, seasoned researchers and clinicians share their expertise on diagnosis and evaluation, risk and process factors, and prevention and early intervention. In addition to an essential overview of the state of the literatu

The interaction between biological cells and external electric fields has been of interest by scientists for several decades. Exposure of the cells to electric fields leads to various kinds of biophysical and biochemical responses. These responses can be used to characterize cell properties and/or to manipulate cell characteristics. Electro-poration or electro-permeabilzation is probably the most

Dynamic and complex decision-making environments may involve high levels of uncertainty. Such uncertainty may lead to difficulty within decision-making processes. High levels of uncertainty in decision-making occur in a dynamic and complex environment. While decision-making is needed as a response to uncertainty, this may lead to difficulty within decision-making processes. Furthermore, there are

The Advanced Resource Connector (ARC) or the NorduGrid middleware is an open source software solution enabling production quality computational and data Grids, with special emphasis on scalability, stability, reliability and performance. Since its first release in May 2002, the middleware is deployed and being used in production environments. This paper aims to present the future development direc

I investigated the bacterial utilization of terrestrially derived dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in aquatic ecosystems, and assessed the potential role of river-born DON in marine eutrophication. To determine the bioavailability of DON, I developed a bioassay employing N-limited bacterial regrowth cultures, which were calibrated with additions of inorganic nitrogen. I found that between 2 and 72
