    Abstract : The study is concerned with power based on ‘being’, which is the thread running through the entire thesis. The extended family is the focal point and three themes, interrelated in Kuria society, are explored, namely, poverty, sexuality and fertility. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mathematics teaching through the lens of planning : actors, structures, and power

    Author : Helena Grundén; Jeppe Skott; Sara Irisdotter Aldenmyr; Anna Chronaki; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; mathematics education; mathematics teaching; planning; Critical Discourse Analysis; actors; structures; power; Mathematical Education; Matematikdidaktik;

    Abstract : This dissertation explores mathematics teaching by focusing on planning. The planning is seen as a social phenomenon related to surrounding practices and power relations in and between practices. Hence, planning in this dissertation is explored beyond what teachers do when planning. READ MORE

  5. 3. Power Asymmetry Revisited : Reconciling EU Foreign Policy Goals and Enlargement Conditionality in the Western Balkans

    Author : Jessica Giandomenico; Li Bennich-Björkman; Anna Jarstad; Andreas Bågenholm; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; EU enlargement; EU foreign policy; EU conditionality; power asymmetry; historical institutionalism; path dependence; institutional layering; Western Balkans; Macedonia; elections; Statskunskap; Political Science;

    Abstract : The EU is assumed to have a strong top-down transformative power over the states applying for membership. This leverage is based on a power asymmetry where the applicant states want to join the EU more than the EU wants to enlarge, and that the applicant states gain more than the member states from the enlargement.

  7. 5. Infinite dimensional holomorphy in the ring of formal power series : partial differential operators

    Author : Henrik Petersson; Andrei Khrennikov; Sean Dineen; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Infinite dimensional holomorphy; Formal power series; Fourier-Borel transform; Paley-Wiener theorem; Fischer decomposition; Fischer pair; Fock space; Cauchy-Problem; Kergin operator; PDE-preserving; Pseudo-differential operators.; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

    Abstract : We study holomorphy in the ring of formal power series in an infinite number of variables. Thus we restrict our study to (infinite dimensional) holomorphy on sequence spaces and we show that we obtain a rich theory without requiring any topological structure on the domain space. We make a comprehensive PDO-study for the spaces under consideration. READ MORE
