  1. 36. Democratisation, Traditional Leadership and Reform Politics in South Africa

    Författare :Annika Mokvist Uggla; Axel Hadenius; Lars Rudebeck; Stein Sundstol Eriksen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Political science; Democratisation; traditional leadership; local government reform; South Africa; state efficiency; nation-building; Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Act 2003 ; Communal Land Rights Act 2004 ; Statsvetenskap; statskunskap; statskunskap;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this study of democratisation and traditional leadership in South Africa is to understand why government efforts to democratise areas under traditional leadership surprisingly resulted in the maintenance of certain aspects of hereditary rule in official governance. Theory suggests that the answer is found in a dilemma faced by politicians, as they have to undertake reform with a view to advance four potentially contradictory political goals: democracy, state efficiency, state unity and, finally, re-election.

  3. 37. Prioritering vid utlarmning i prehospital vård

    Författare :Bosse Ek; Ulrica Nilsson; Birgitta Wireklint Sundström; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prioritization; experiences; triage; EMD; sensitivity; specificity; ambulance nurse; larmcentral; triage; ambulanssjukvård; innehållsanalys; sensitivitet; specificitet; Nursing Science; Vårdvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : It is important that ambulances are urgently directed to patients who are in need of immediate help and of quick transportation to a hospital. Because resources are limited, emergency medical dispatch centres (EMD) cannot send ambulances with high priority to all callers. The efficiency of the system is therefore dependent on triage.

  4. 38. Smart, Fast and Beautiful : On Rhetoric of Technology and Computing Discourse in Sweden 1955-1995

    Författare :Magnus Johansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :rhetoric of technology; computing history; technological discourse; technological frame; actor network; STS; social construction; computerisation; information technology; computer science; government policy; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : Ever since the computer was introduced some 50 years ago, its role in society has been increasing. From being a tool for scientists and technicians, the computer has become a concern for everyone. Different actors engaged in introducing — or denouncing — this technology, have used many strong words for winning others to the cause. LÄS MER

  7. 40. Computer Simulation of the Neural Control of Locomotion in the Cat

    Författare :Nalin Harischandra; Örjan Ekeberg; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Locomotion; Computer simulation; Central pattern generator; Muscle activation; Linear transfer functions; Sensory feedback; Neural control; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Locomotion is one of the most important behaviours and requires interaction between sensors at various levels of the nervous system and the limb muscles of an animal. The basic neural rhythm for locomotion in mammals has been shown to arise from local neural networks residing in the spinal cord and these networks are known as central pattern generators (CPGs).
