Den här boken utforskar butiken som plats för social och kulturell interaktion. Butiken och detaljhandeln står idag inför en rad nya utmaningar som handlar om ökad mobilitet, stordriftsutveckling, etik, mångfald och konsumentinflytande. Butiken har också blivit ett viktigt varumärke där upplevelser betonas alltmer. Vi köper inte längre bara en vara, utan även en upplevelse, en identitet eller en l

Osteoporosis has been the subject of a rapid growth in research over the past twenty years. Papers describing recent advances are published in a wide range of journals, reflecting the diversity of clinical and research specialties that are concerned with this disease. The editors of this volume have brought together a multi-disciplinary team to select and critically appraise the important publicat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen beskriver utvecklingen i det EG- rättsliga lagstiftningsarbetet om könsjämlikhet under perioden 1957-1997. Utifrån postmodern feministisk teori och poststrukturell lingvistisk metod görs sedan en kritisk argumentationsanalys av EG-domstolens tolkningar av lagstiftningen. Analysen blottlägger domstolens cirkelresonemang och visar hur den lagstiftning som i eThe thesis describes the development of the enactment of European Community Law in the field of sexual equality during the period of 1957-1997. With post-modern feminist theory as its point of departure, and with post-structuralist linguistics as method, it then analyses the argumentation of the EC Court of Justice in its interpretation of EC legislation during the same period. My aim is to examin

Popular Abstract in Swedish Xantofyll cykeln, dens enzym, pigment och regleringThe xanthophyll cycle involves the light-dependent and reversible conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin. Zeaxanthin has been implicated in the protection of the photosynthetic machinery from over-excitation. The enzyme violaxanthin de-epoxidase catalyses the conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin. The enzyme is located in the thylakoid lumen and its activity is strictly pH controlled. Apart f

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar till stor del om elementarpartiklars massor. I motsats till många av de andra av elementarpartiklarnas egenskaper, uppvisar partiklarnas massor inget iögonfallande mönster. De antar dessutom värden som spänner över ett mycket stort område. Att förstå partikelmassorna är ett centralt tema i dagens partikelfysik. Egenskapen kiralitet eller "hänthThis thesis deals with different types of chiral fields. The properties of fermion masses are investigated from different poits of view, both within the Standard Model and in extensions of the model. It is shown how mass matrix invariants are used to define the measurables of the quark mixing matrix as invariant functions of the mass matrices. One model is presented where the family pattern is s

We present a technique for simultaneous segmentation and classification of image partitions using combinatorial optimization techniques. By combining existing image segmentation approaches with simple learning techniques we show how prior knowledge can be incorporated into the visual grouping process through the formulation of a quadratic binary optimization problem. We further show how such to ef

Fashion's universal nature does not preclude strong variations in its significance from society to society. As a stratification variable, fashion's importance increases in step with economic growth. Simmel sees the ‘need for distinction’ and the ‘need for union’ as preconditions for fashion, with certain societies lacking the necessary motivation. Variations in fashion's importance have also been

En undersökning har under hösten 2011 genomförts vid Lunds tekniska högskola för att ta reda på attityder till murat och putsat byggande hos byggentreprenörer, arkitekter och köpare av småhus. Murat byggande är en byggnadsteknik som har sin tyngdpunkt i Skåne – här finns merparten av efterfrågan från småhusköparna men även erfarenheterna hos byggentreprenörerna. I övriga regioner är murat byggan

The article investigates notions of subjectivity, pathos, desire and God in the philosophies of Emmanuel Levinas and Abraham Heschel. By bringing the two philosophers into dialogue, the article aims to question Levinas’ conviction that the idea of a personal God, characterized by “divine pathos,” is a mythological remnant which unavoidably leads the subject into idolatry. Furthermore, it challenge
