This book project was initiated at The Tribute Workshop in Honour of Gunnar Sparr and the follow-up workshop Inequalities, Interpolation, Non-commutative, Analysis, Non-commutative Geometry and Applications INANGA08, held at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Lund University in May and November of 2008. The resulting book is dedicated in celebration of Gunnar Sparr's sixty-fifth anniversary and more than forty years of exceptional service to mathematics and its applications in engineering and technology, mathematics and engineering education, as well as interdisciplinary, industrial and international cooperation. This book presents new advances in several areas of mathematics and engineer...
Based on extensive participant observation research, a life-history model is presented to explain why very few of those who come into contact with narcotics become problematic consumers; that is make drugs one of the most central elements in their lives. The model covers four stages in the deviant career; two preceding and two subsequent to the individual's narcotics debut. Prohibition and harm reduction as models for intervention are presented, and the implications for drug policy of the life-history model are discussed.
In this open access book, seventeen scholars discuss how contemporary Scandinavian art and media have become important arenas to articulate and stage various forms of vulnerability in the Scandinavian welfare states. How do discourses of privilege and vulnerability coexist and interact in Scandinavia? How do the Scandinavian countries respond to vulnerability given increased migration? How is vulnerability distributed in terms of margin and centre, normality and deviance? And how can vulnerability be used to move audiences towards each other and accomplish change? We address these questions in an interdisciplinary study that brings examples from celebrated and provocative fiction and documentary films, TV-series, reality TV, art installations, design, literature, graphic art, radio podcasts and campaigns on social media.
It is apparent that file sharing on the Internet has become an emerging norm of media consumption—especially among young people. This book provides a critical perspective on this phenomenon, exploring issues related to file sharing, downloading, peer-to-peer networks, "piracy," and (not least) policy issues regarding these practices. Andersson Schwartz critically engages with the justificatory discourses of the actual file-sharers, taking Sweden as a geographic focus. By focusing on the example of Sweden—home to both The Pirate Bay and Spotify—he provides a unique insight into a mentality that drives both innovation and deviance and accommodates sharing in both its unadulterated and its compliant, business-friendly forms.
Den 8 november 1994 döms Joy Rahman till livstids fängelse av Stockholms Tingsrätt för mordet på en kvinnlig vårdtagare. Under åtta års tid avtjänar den hemstjänstanställde ett straff för ett mord han inte begått. Tvivelaktigheter kring fallet uppdagas och med hjälp av yttre sympatisörers ansträngningar frias Rahman den 19 april 2002 och tilldöms ett skadestånd. "Ofriheten, och därmed också friheten, ska få en prislapp. Genom att hans lidande graderas i pengar värderas också det han har gått miste om. Hur mycket är det värt att vara fri en dag som denna? Vad är det värt att se marssolen smälta snöhögar i centrala Stockholm och som en fri man kunna kryssa över ...
»Jag har inte blivit så fängsad av en bok sedan Stieg Larssons trilogi.« | Bergens Tidene »Boken har alldeles avgjort ett värde för den som vill förstå något av de gåtfulla gruppdynamiska krafter och språkspel som styrde sektlivet i Knutby.« | Lars Linder, Dagens Nyheter I januari 2004 mördas en kvinna brutalt i ett litet svenskt samhälle, och hennes granne förs till sjukhus med livshotande skador. Under de följande månaderna rullas ett osannolikt svartsjukedrama upp i medierna – det så kallade Knutbydramat – där otrohet vävs samman med maktbegär och en blind vilja till lydnad inför Gud. Knutbykoden bygger på en lång rad samtal som Eva Lundgren, genusvetare och p...

Salander & Blomkvist harus bekerja sama memadukan keahlian mereka, hacking dan investigasi, untuk mengungkap konspirasi dalam pemerintahan Swedia. [Mizan, Qanita, Terjemahan, Klasik, Indonesia]
Jag ser likheterna mellan mordet på Olof Palme och Anna Lindh. Båda hade de blivit mördade av en ensam galning, polisutredningar var dåligt skötta och svenska folket har fortfarande inte fått en vettig förklaring till vilka de verkliga mördarna var. Idag har fjorton år förflutit sedan dessa händelser och frågorna är fortfarande obesvarade. Till minne av Rolf Martens och hans anonyme tipsare vill jag här publicera det de kommit fram till.
