Drawing on the work of René Girard, his text inquires into incidental and lawful losses of civilians in the regulation of international humanitarian law as part of a symbolic order restraining violent conflict within communities. First, I inquire into central norms on targeting in IHL, explaining their internal inconsistencies. Second, I try to show that these inconsistencies can be explaining by
Popular Abstract in Swedish John Gibes avhandling indikerar att såväl 1990-talets evangelistiska analys av informationsteknologins strategiska betydelse som senare skeptiska analyser är bristfälliga. En alternativ ståndpunkt läggs fram. På basis av strategiforskningens kapabilitetsperspektiv adresserar avhandlingen särskilt e-handel i nära relationer mellan företag, en viktig praktik i vilken IT aIT has direct and observable positive effects for consumers. For firms, the situation is somewhat different, because efficiencies generated by publicly available technology tend to be competed away. Therefore, researchers from the strategy field and students of information systems have concluded that for firms, the opportunity lies in using IT better than competitors rather than in the technology
This book is an analysis of the way in which Tanzanian Roman Catholic professor Charles Nyamiti has attempted to combine African traditions and values with neo-Scholastic theology and philosophy. The outcome of the analysis is that in this attempt, Nyamiti needs to rework considerably African traditions in order that they will not collide with "philosophia perennis". Additionally, he deals with th
Popular Abstract in Swedish Värk i leder och muskler tillhör de vanligaste orsakerna till långtidssjukskrivningar och förtidspensioneringar. En betydande del av dessa tillstånd är orsakade av belastningsergonomiska faktorer i arbetslivet, och kan således förebyggas. Arbetsrelaterade besvär i nacke, axlar och armar är betydligt vanligare bland kvinnor än bland män. Orsakerna till detta är ofullstänWork-related musculoskeletal disorders are widespread, and are, for unclear reasons, more common among females than in males. Several risk factors have been described; constrained and awkward postures, repetitive and/or force demanding motions, and lack of recovery. The exposure to such risk factors was systematically assessed in 116 male and 206 female fish-processing industry workers. Large diff
Popular Abstract in Swedish Wnt-5a-genens betydelse för bröstcellernas normala funktion och för uppkomsten av bröstcancer I min avhandling har jag studerat en i bröstcancersammanhang hittills föga undersökt gen, Wnt-5a. Benämningen Wnt har bildats genom en sammanslagning av "Wingless" (den första identifierade Wnt-genen som orsakar vinglöshet hos bananflugan) och "Int" (från "Integration site" föThe Wnt-5a gene encodes a secreted protein that regulates several normal processes in embryonic and adult tissues by as yet unknown mechanisms. Expression of Wnt-5a protein does not cause cell transformation, but it instead counteracts the effects induced by transforming Wnts. Inasmuch as Wnt-5a can activate the Wnt/beta-catenin signalling pathway, we performed experiments to determine whether mol
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vår planet är i mångt och mycket en trevlig plats att leva på, men det är också en plats där faror och hot kan lura bakom varje hörn. Dessa hot kan vara av olika karaktär, till exempel kan det röra sig om risken att bli jagad och uppäten, att drabbas av uttorkning eller något annat obehagligt. Vår planets invånare har utvecklat en mängd olika strategier för att hantera Most organisms on Earth live a life where they are exposed to multiple and variable threats. In order to maximise survival they need to be able to perceive and respond to these threats. Two common threats that crustacean zooplankton are faced with are predation and ultraviolet radiation (UVR). To cope with these threats zooplankton use different strategies such as diel vertical migration and the a
Over the past few years considerable research attention has been assigned to extremophiles as sources of extremozymes due to their applicability in industrial processes, and the development of eco-friendly technologies. The establishment of efficient production strategies for heterologous proteins is an empirical process requiring broad background knowledge on available expression systems together
Even if the Swedish choir movement seemed to have been able to represent different kinds of people’s desires for socio-musical communities for several decades now, this is not a preeminent Swedish attitude. Sweden is not the only country in which choirs might represent an individual’s need for a positively connotated form of culturally constructed collectivism. Therefore, an interesting starting p
Following the recommendations drawn after the Commissioning Phase of the ENVISAT satellite in 2002, SCIAMACHY near real time data processors were upgraded to version 5.01 in early 2004. Before public release of the new SCIAMACHY nitrogen dioxide (NO2) vertical column data product, several validation teams investigated its improvement and assessed its geophysical consistency by means of correlative
Popular Abstract in Swedish Konflikter och sexuellt urval under pollenkonkurrens Naturens många fantastiska färger och former har till stor del skapats av det sexuella urvalet, det vill säga selektionstryck som skapas av konkurrens och val, som uppstår till följd av att djur och växter fortplantar sig. Det var Darwin som 1871 presenterade teorin om det sexuella urvalet i ett försök att förklara vThe incidence of sexual selection in plants is today acknowledged, however, just as in animals, evolution and maintenance of mate choice is gravely underexplored. Moreover, the potential for sexual conflicts to occur in plants has only been assessed empirically to a very limited degree. Using the hermaphroditic annual herb Collinsia heterophylla, I looked deeper into the role of pollen-pollen comp
Omfattande forskning pekar på att en förälders psykiska ohälsa kan utgöra en riskfaktor för barnens psykiska utveckling och hälsa. Man räknar med att cirka 30 procent av patienterna i vuxenpsykiatrisk vård har minderåriga barn. Under ett år får cirka 30 000 patienter vuxenpsykiatrisk vård i Skåne. Sedan år 2010 finns ett tillägg i hälso- och sjukvårdslagen som slår fast att vården ska beakta barne
