Praeparatio Evangelica - or Daemonica? C. S. Lewis and Anders Nygren on Spiritual Longing
No full textC. S. Lewis has serious disagreements with Anders Nygren’s theology of love. Several scholars have noticed the similarities between Nygren’s eros-love and Lewis’s concept of need-love. This article suggests, however, that need-love is not necessarily the closest equivalent in Lewis’s taxonomy to Nygren’s eros. The author argues that Lewis’s concept of Joy (or Sehnsucht) is a largely-overlooked contribution to “the Nygren debate,” and contrasts it with the three main features of Nygren’s eros. While encompassing many signature traits of eros, Joy manages to avoid many of its negative and excessive qualities. In Lewis’s theological vision, spiritual longing, far from jeopardizing the Gospel, is a God-given desire that prepares the way for it
Dysponetinae Aguado, Nygren and Rouse 2015
No full textSubfamily DYSPONETINAE Aguado, Nygren and Rouse, 2015 Subfamily diagnosis Very small to small bodied. Prostomium well developed or simple lobe; with lateral and median antennae, ventral palps; eyes present or absent; nuchal structure ciliated dorsolateral patches. Strongly muscularized pharynx with little proboscidial development, terminal proboscidial papillae, pair of stylet jaws; mouth cover absent, buccal cirri may be present. Notochaetal spines; neurochaetae compound, neurochaetal simple spines may be present. Camerate noto- and neurochaetal shafts. Simple body wall musculature. Body ciliation and lateral organs absent. Pygidium rounded with conical projection. Remarks Diagnosis is based on Aguado et al. (2015) with additional information by senior author (CW). Dysponetinae comprise free-living species belonging to Dysponetus Levinsen 1879, a speciose genus exhibiting the most extensive geographical and depth ranges of all taxa within the family Chrysopetalidae. The subfamily also includes Pseudodysponetus Böggemann, 2009, a monotypic deep-water genus (Böggemann 2009, p. 291, figure 27A). Its type material was examined by CW (HZM D.25012). This taxon is very small, possessing aberrant anterior segments and a pair of very small stylets. The tanned, simple elongate jaws with a small mid-way swelling are similar to the simple rod-like pair of stylets, as seen in Dysponetus species. Dysponetus displays alternative morphological states of sensory structures of the anterior end (see below) but lacks complex body wall musculature and ciliated and glandular fields (Tzetlin et al. 2002). Dysponetus macroculatus Dahlgren, 1996 and Dysponetus populonectens Pleijel, Aguado and Rouse, 2012 have been reported as gonochoristic and Dysponetus pygmaeus Levinsen, 1879 as a protrandic hermaphrodite with filiform sperm (Tzetlin et al. 2002). Males of Dysponetus pygmaeus and other particularly small species (e.g. Dysponetus bipapillatus Dahlgren, 1996 and Dysponetus ovalisetosus Darbyshire and Brewin, 2015) exhibit copulatory organs. Epitokous swimming neurochaetae in Dysponetus caecus (Langerhans, 1880) have been reported by Watson et al. (2014) and Dysponetus cf. pygmaeus larvae have been recorded from the plankton (Watson Russell 1987).Published as part of Watson, Charlotte & Faulwetter, Sarah, 2017, Stylet jaws of Chrysopetalidae (Annelida), pp. 2863-2924 in Journal of Natural History 51 (47 - 48) on page 2894, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2017.1395919, http://zenodo.org/record/518411

Future prospects of the TPC idea
No full textGeneral aspects affecting TPC size, readout plane characteristics and operation in the LEP environment are presented, with the general conclusion that modest improvements relative to PEP-4 can be realized in several areas. The problem of positive ion reduction is discussed according to two qualitatively new operating modes, asynchronous and synchronous gating. Either gating mode appears to offer a means to eliminate almost completely the ion return flux. Some speculative ideas involving 3-component gas mixtures, low-mass components and parallel plane geometry are presented as future possibilities

Review of K/sup 0/ decays
No full textSeparate experiments by a CERN-Heidelberg group, and a SLAC-Santa Cruz group give improved information on form factors in the decay K/sub L //sup o/ to pi l nu . The t-dependence of these form factors expressed by the parameter lambda /sub +/ and lambda /sub o/ give consistent results. Parameters in CP violation and K/sub s, L/ degrees decays are presented from recent results and show a value of mod eta +- mod = (2.29+or-0.026)10/sup -3/, an increase of 36% (and 11 standard deviations) from the previously accepted value. Two recent experiments at Brookhaven show an average branching ratio of 12/sub -4//sup +8/*10 /sup -9/ for the decay K/sub L/ degrees to mu /sup +/ mu /sup -/ in disagreement with the previous Berkeley measurement of a 1.8*10/sup -9 / upper limit.

No full textTitel: Byrårotation: En kvantitativ studie på 417 svenska börsnoterade företag Nivå: Examensarbete på grundnivå (kandidatexamen) i företagsekonomi Författare: Stefanie Nygren och Emma SjögrenHandledare: Mattias HambergDatum: 2022 - januari Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att förklara vilka faktorer som förklarar företags val att byta revisionsbyrå, samt att studera de konsekvenser som en byrårotation har.Metod: Studien antar en kvantitativ metod som undersöker svenska börsnoterade företag på Nasdaq OMX Stockholm. En longitudinell design har genomförts under tidsperioden 2001–2020 där data är insamlat från 417 företag. Sekundärdata har samlats in från företagens årsredovisningar som inhämtas från databasen Eikon. Data har analyserats genom korrelationstest, binär logistisk analys samt multipel regressionsanalys i statistikprogrammet SPSS. Resultat & Slutsats: Resultatet i studien visar att det inte finns något samband mellan lönsamhet och byrårotation. Resultatet visar även att det finns ett signifikant negativt samband mellan revisions-/konsultarvode och byrårotation. Vidare visar resultatet att en ökning av byrårotation leder till en ökning av auditLag. Examensarbetets bidrag: Studien har bidragit till att presenterad data för samtliga rotationer som skett för svenska börsnoterade företag under åren 2001–2020. Studien har även skapat ett bredare perspektiv kring byrårotation då båda sidor studerats.Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Ett förslag till fortsatt forskning är att studera sambandet mellan lönsamhet och auditLag samt sambandet mellan lönsamhet och revisionsarvode. En utveckling till studien är att studera europeiska företag på börsen för att se hur reglerna mellan länderna skiljer sig åt. Nyckelord: revision, revisionskvalitet, byrårotation, revisionsarvode, auditLag.Title: Firm rotation: A quantified analysis of 417 Swedish stock market listed companies. Level: Student thesis, final assignment for bachelor’s degree in business administration Author: Stefanie Nygren and Emma SjögrenSupervisor: Mattias HambergDate: January - 2022 Aim: The aim if the study is to explain what reasons are behind a company’s decision to change audit firm and study the consequences of such decision.Method: The study is based on a quantifying method for Swedish companies listed on the stock market Nasdaq OMX in Stockholm. A longitudinal study has been performed on 417 companies listed on Nasdaq OMX for the period 2001-2020. Secondary data has been collected from the involved companies’ annual reports found in the database Eikon. Result & Conclusions: The result of the study demonstrates no correlation between firm rotation and the financial result of the company. The result indicates a significant increased audit-/consultancy fee when audit firm is changed. Further, the result indicates that there is an increase in auditLag when there is a firm rotation. Contribution of the thesis: The study has collected data for all firm rotations that has taken place during the period 2001-2020 for companies listed on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm. Further, the study gives a broader perspective of the effects related to rotation of audit companies as it considers both the audited company and the firm. Suggestions for future research: Proposal for further research would be to study the correlation between profitability and auditLag and how profitability and audit fee correlate. A development of the study could be to enlarge the scope and include stock listed companies in Europe and study effects on different legislations in different countries. Key words: audit, audit quality, firm rotation, audit fees, auditLa
Patienters läkemedelsanvändning vid inskrivning inför elektiv urologisk kirurgi
No full textAbstract Elective urological patients’ medication usage at the time of admission Author: Nygren. J. Supervisor: Gillespie. U. Examiner: Nielsen. E. Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences, division of pharmacokinetics and drug therapy. Faculty of pharmacy. Uppsala University, Sweden. Background and Objective: Information about the patient’s current medication treatment before elective urologic surgery has been based upon a prefilled self-reported health declaration or a patient provided medication list. A new work procedure has recently been adopted where a pharmacist performs a medication reconciliation in order to increase the patient safety, receive deeper insight into the patients ongoing treatment and to reduce the physician’s workload. The objective of the study was to map out how well the patients could account for their medication usage at the time of admission and to identify discrepancies between the health declaration/patient’s medication list and the medication list after medication reconciliation. Design: The study population consisted of adult men and women scheduled for elective urological surgery. A clinical pharmacist performed a medication reconciliation and stored appurtenant patient data and medication lists in anonymised forma. Data was then analysed by a student undertaking his degree project (MSc Clinical pharmacy). The population and discrepancies were divided into sub-groups and a t-test was performed to identify any statistical difference between selected sub-groups of the population. Setting: Urology department, Uppsala University Hospital Main outcome measures: The proportion of patients having at least one discrepancy were studied. Distribution of discrepancies per patient was compared between sub-groups; number of medications, age and county of residence. Results: At least one discrepancy (range 1-7) was observed in 51 (66%) out of the 77 patients included in the study. Patients using >5 medications at the time of admission had more discrepancies per patient than those using 0-5 medications (3.2 vs 1.0; p=5.6x10-6) and there was a trend towards Uppsala patients having more discrepancies per patient than those residing outside the region (2.4 vs 1.5; p=0.057). There was no significant difference observed between the age groups. Conclusion: The health declaration/medication list presented at the time of admission did not provide enough information to determine the patient’s complete medication usage
Du är vad du heter - En studie om hur programledare reflekterar och resonerar kring påverkan från registrering av dömda sexualförbrytare på Internet, på dömda sexualförbrytare som genomgår Relation- och Samlevnadsprogrammet.
No full textAbstract Author: Jonas Nygren Title: You are what you’re called – Program leaders reflections and reasoning about the effect from Internet sex offender registration on sexual offenders who attend treatment program within the Swedish correctional service. Supervisor: Alexandru Panican Recently the first sex offender registration has been implemented in Sweden mainly through Internet websites. In response to the exceeded Internet sex offender registration, representatives of the Swedish Correctional Services gave through media the impression that the registration was counterproductive in relation to the implemented treatment program that is offered to sex offenders. In view of this, the aim of this study was to empirical examine the impact that the Internet sex offender registration might have on the implementation of the sex offender treatment program within the Swedish Correctional Services. The study was limited to an empirical study on how program leaders of the sex offender treatment program reflected and reasoned about the impact from registration on sex offenders during the implementation of the treatment program. The empirical study was based upon eight semi-structured interviews with program leaders from the sex offender treatment program within the Swedish Correctional Services. The interviews were based on the content and theoretical key concepts of the treatment program which mainly included individual risk factors, treatment progress factors and social factors associated with the reentering process into the society. In analyzing these factors Bronfenbrenner´s ecological systems theory was used in which Goffman´s stigma was included in each system level. A division between dynamic and static risk factors within the individual system level was also included. The study showed that program leaders reflected that sex offender registration on the Internet had a thorough impact on sex offenders during the implementation of treatment. A majority of the respondents stated that sex offender registration on the Internet had a negative impact on most of the theoretical key concepts of the treatment program. Nevertheless a few of these respondents also stated that some specific treatment progress factors could be positively affected and mainly referred to group dynamic factors and that the alliance between the program leader and the sex offender might be improved. Results showed that Internet sex offender registration had a larger impact on the dynamic risk factors than the static risk factors and that it increased the sex offender stigma on all levels within the Bronfenbrenner ecological systems
Om tillit och ledarskap för pedagogisk utveckling – vägen framåt
No full textHur kan vi skapa ett långsiktigt och hållbart pedagogiskt utvecklingsarbete för studenters lärande och för en högre utbildning som håller hög kvalitet? Denna fråga blev aktuell efter att Universitetskanslersämbetet (UKÄ, u.å.) lyfte vikten av att skapa ett varaktigt kretslopp för det pedagogiska utvecklingsarbetet vid landets lärosäten. Som ett led i detta ville vi utforska frågan hur vi kan ta tillvara det kreativa och innovativa arbetet kring pedagogisk utveckling på enskilda lärosäten. I en efterföljande artikel (Nygren & Sjöberg, 2022) lyfte vi fram fyra aspekter som vi menar att ett pedagogiskt utvecklingsarbete behöver rymma för att åstadkomma ett varaktigt kretslopp: systematik, kultur, delaktighet och tillit. Vi betonade samtidigt att utvecklingsarbetet bör vara en integrerad del av kvalitetsarbetet och att detta, det pedagogiska kvalitetsarbetet, måste ses som ett gemensamt ansvar – från den individuella läraren på mikronivå, till kollektivet på institutionen på mellannivån och slutligen till den strategiska nivån, som är kopplad till pedagogisk meritering och pedagogisk skicklighet. I denna uppföljande artikel tittar vi, två pedagogiska utvecklare och två ledare på mellannivån, närmare på aspekten tillit och resonerar kring den roll tillit spelar i det pedagogiska kvalitetsarbetet. Detta gör vi genom att presentera goda exempel på tillitsbaserade samarbeten mellan pedagogiska utvecklare och ledare på mellannivån. Vi vill med dessa exempel visa en möjlig väg framåt för att skapa ett långsiktigt och hållbart pedagogiskt utvecklingsarbete. © 2024 The author(s)
