This article discusses the rise of the global anti-corruption "industry" with its elements of international campaigns and conventions, the traffic in project funds, people, knowledge and ideas, and how global structures interact with the local politics of anticorruption. The metaphor of landscape is utitilized to show the different perspectives -- global summits and local sites -- how anticorrupti

Det finns goda skäl till att engagera studenterna i deras egen bedömning vid både formativ och summativ examination. Vi har under kursen Molekylär Cellbiologi för Ekosystemvetare vid LTH undersökt studenternas förmåga att bedöma muntliga projektredovisningar och jämfört den med lärarnas. Under kursen genomförde studenterna ett projekt där en muntlig gruppredovisning med efterföljande kamratdiskuss

Popular Abstract in Swedish Insulinberoende diabetes mellitus (IDDM = Typ 1 diabetes), och kronisk sköldkörtelinflammation - autoimmun thyreoidit (AIT) anses idag vara orsakade av att de hormonproducerande cellerna angrips av kroppens eget immunsystem (sk. autoimmunitet). När sjukdomen ger sig till känna kliniskt finnes antikroppar (sk. autoantikroppar) riktade mot cellkomponenter i det hormonprodThe two most common autoimmune endocrine diseases in children are autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) and Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Autoantibodies (ab) can be found several years before clinical diagnosis in both diseases. The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of thyroid ab in children with IDDM and in children with allergic diseases; to study islet ab and t

The paper presents a new family of strategies for swinging up a pendulum. They are derived from physical arguments based on two ideas: shaping the Hamiltonian for a system without damping; and providing damping or energy pumping in relevant regions. A two-parameter family of simple strategies without switches with nice properties is obtained. The main result is that all solutions that do not start

The European Spallation Source (ESS) requires 5 MW of proton beam power which is a factor of five larger in power compared to existing spallation facilities. To accommodate the high power, the ESS facility will pioneer the long pulse concept. The proton linac sourcing the neutron spallation target will be a 2 GeV superconducting linac that requires 125 MW of peak RF power at 704 MHz.

Rapporten behandlar inledningsvis frågan vad en kris är, hur den uppstår, när den uppstår och varför. Kapitlet behandlar också frågan om när det vänder och varför det vänder. I kapitlet framförs kritik mot det etablerade synsättet inom ortodox nationalekonomi som starkt bidrar till att kriser inte kan förutses och att feltolkningar av det ekonomiska läget görs. I nästkommande kapitel behandlas tv

This licentiate thesis deals with the development of monetary- and foreign exchange rate policies in Sweden between 1834 and 1880. Policies are analysed in the framework of a specie standard. Changes in markets and market conditions were crucial in the development of the policies in 19th century Sweden. Sweden went from a silver standard regime, based almost exclusively on rules, to a gold standar

The paper investigates conceptions of nature in the interplay between Swedish and German enlightened periodical press.

Media coverage of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict does not necessarily enhance one’s knowledge or understanding of the Palestinians; on the contrary they are often reduced to either victims or perpetrators. Similarly, while many academic studies devote considerable effort to analyzing the political situation in the occupied territories, there have been few sophisticated case studies of Palestinia
