    Sedan år 2006 har den syntetiskt framställda drogen spice existerat i Sverige, men först år 2008 blev drogen populär och tidningar började rikta uppmärksamhet mot den. Genom att drogen kan byta skepnad i uppbyggnaden kan den förbli laglig, därför kan egentligen namnet “spice” inte betraktas som ett enhetligt begrepp. Vårt syfte med denna studie blev att granska hur drogen spice beskrivs i tidningar och forskning. Även hur drogen betraktas gällande psykosociala och medicinska avseenden. Detta i förhållande till socialkonstruktivistiskt perspektiv. Den metod som vi valde att använda oss av i studien var kvantitativ innehållsanalys. Genom analys av 80 stycken svenska tidningsartiklar hämtade ur databasen mediearkivet, samt vetenskapliga artiklar och litteratur har vi besvarat våra frågeställningar. De resultat vi fick från analyser visade på att tidningar kan vara av betydande roll för ungdomars attityder. Tidningar kan utföra bland annat skrämselpropaganda för att upplysa och förhindra brukandet av spice, dessvärre visar resultatet en motsatt effekt. Forskning visar att bruk av spice kan påverka relationer och arbete negativt. Dessutom är några bieffekter av spice bröstsmärtor, vanföreställningar, självmordstankar och hjärtstopp

    Laboratory experiments on stability and entrainment of oceanic stratocumulus. Part 1: Instability experiment

    The existence and persistence of marine stratocumulus play a significant role in the overall energy budget of the earth. Their stability and entrainment process are important in global climate studies, as well as for local weather forecasting. The purposes of the experimental simulations are to study this process and to address this paradox. The effects of buoyancy reversal is investigated, followed by two types of experiments. An instability experiment involves the behavior of a fully turbulent wake near the inversion generated by a sliding plate. Due to buoyancy reversal, the heavy, mixed fluid starts to sink, turning the potential energy created by the mixing process into kinetic energy, thereby increasing the entrainment rate. An entrainment experiment, using a vertically oscillating grid driven by a controllable speed motor, produces many eddy-induced entrainments at a surface region on scales much less than the depth of the layer

    Radioloogia Eestis: ja päike paistab!

    Paljud praegu töötavad radioloogid on alus­tanud oma karjääri pimedas toas üksi läbi­valgustusi tehes. Aastakümneid oli rönt­genoloogia peaaegu ainuke kättesaadav kuvamismeetod ja kogenud röntgenoloogi sõna luges palju nii haiguste diagnoosimi­sel kui ka haigete ravis. Radioloogia ülikiire areng viimastel aastakümnetel on muutnud eriala asendamatuks paljude haigusseisundi­te diagnoosimisel ja ka ravis. Radioloogiast on kujunenud piltlikult öeldes päike, mis heidab valgust ka kõige pimedamatesse nur­gatagustesse. Täpne elupuhune piltdiagnos­tika on patoloogidel leiva käest võtnud (või vähemalt pool leiba). Menetlusradioloogia on tunginud kirurgide ”mängumaale” ja avanud seninägematuid võimalusi mitmete haiguste ravis. Teleradioloogia on likvidee­rinud riigipiirid ja ühendanud meditsiinilise kogukonna. Jälgides igapäevast haiglaelu, võime tõdeda, et ilma täpse diagnostikata on kliiniline meditsiin kui tiibadeta lind. Eesti Arst 2008; 87(10):734−73

    Is symbolic inheritance similar to genetic inheritance?

    Get PDF
    Jablonka & Lamb's (J&L's) book is refreshing in that it debunks the exclusively gene-centered approach used these days to explain almost anything about life and human behavior. The book is very accessible and most convincing when the authors discuss biological theories of genetic and epigenetic inheritance, but it does not shy away from the more slippery terrain of behavioral and symbolic inheritance, and specifically the origins of language. But is the analogy appropriate?Peer Reviewe

    Relative Market Share, Leadership and Competition in Concentrated Banking Markets.

    Get PDF
    For many years IO economists devoted attention to the size distributions’ of firms in a given industry. Most studies showed that the size distribution of firms in oligopolistic markets is highly skewed. There are many small firms and a few large firms. There is also a consensus that relative market shares are important and that large firms are, in general, more profitable and durable than small firms. Relative size is also important as a determinant of the structure of the industry. The concept is also central in strategic analysis of business firms and in the formulation of government (regulatory) policy. In this paper we propose to use an empirical measure of market leadership. The measure relies on the assumption that the degree of competition critically depends on how dominant the leading firm is in a given industry. The measure also takes into account the number of “significant” competitors in the market and how close they are to the leading firm in terms of size. The measure is simple to use and easy to interpret. It also yields a critical value that facilitates comparisons between different markets.
