Stora döden. Den värsta katastrof som drabbat Europa

Boken handlar om digerdöden 1347-52 och dess kulturella följdverkningar, främst i Europa (men även i Främre Orienten). Steg för steg skildras epidemins härjningar i hela den kända världen, men dessutom skildras dåtidens orsaksförklaringar, medicinska experiment, religiösa rörelser, judepogromer, agrarkriser, med mera, vilka alla på ett eller annat sätt kan länkas till digerdöden. Boken belönades

Conference • NNHSH 2014 Theme: Creative and able citizens: managing health and illness during the life course

As the Nordic welfare states evolve – with ideologies that focus on an increased consumption of health services – citizens are required to be productive throughout their life course. And because fewer economic resources are being invested into basic health care, and there is a move to shift more responsibility onto the individual (patient), it is becoming essential to illuminate practices that sho

Isomorphism, Isopraxism and Isonymism: Complementary or Competing Processes?

New institutional theory has been critizised, for describing institutionalization as a static qualitative state rather than a process. In this paper we provide an extended understanding of the process of institutionalization by replacing the mechanical concept of diffusion by the concept of translation and an analytical model of "trevel of ideas". Analyzing the field material from three cases of t

Upper Extremity Disorders - Epidemiology and Measures of Disability

The aim of this thesis was to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of long-lasting upper extremity symptoms in a general population and to study some methodological aspects of outcome assessment and reporting, including validation of a Swedish version of an upper extremity region-specific outcome instrument that potentially could be useful for assessing upper extremity disorders. A gener

Evaluation of the Communications Performance Achievable on Base Station to Handheld-Terminal Radio Links with Several Different Practical Receive Antenna Arrays

In this paper, the information extracted from Single-Input Multiple-Output sounding measurements is used to study the effect of several aspects of the receive antenna arrays on system performance. The extracted multipath parameters are used to synthesize the MIMO channel matrices of a hypothesized communication system having a fixed microcellular base-station and a handheld terminal moving through

Optical studies of single quantum dots in microdisks

Microdisks containing single, selected self-assembled quantum dots were fabricated and their optical properties were studied. Using two electron beam lithography exposures, the dots were positioned at the microdisks edges where the optical field reaches its maximum with sub-micron precision. High Q-values, in excess of 13000 were achieved and the coupling of the emission from single quantum dots t

Gender and Buddhism in the Wake of the Tsunami

In December 2004, the Indian Ocean Tsunami hit the shores of 13 countries and more than 280,000 people lost their lives. In Thailand, about 10,000 people died or are missing and approximately 8,500 people were injured. The exact number of how many died will never be known. This chapter deals, from a gender perspective, with the significance of Buddhism in the post-Tsunami recovery process in small
