Denna uppsats tar sin utgångspunkt i ämnet ecklesiologi. Jag har undersökt om det finns någon förändring i hur Ulf Ekman beskriver Kristi kropp eller den sanna kyrkan, och hur den förändringen ser ut. Jag använder mig i första hand av tryckt material men även av hemsidor och bloggar. Den metod jag använder mig av är en typologisk analys av Ekmans litteratur. Till min hjälp har jag använt mig av Avery Dulles typologi för att analysera och kategorisera Ekmans ecklesiologi. Uppsatsen beskriver Ekmans ecklesiologi och hur han gått från en individuell och instiutionskristisk kyrka till att omfamna den katolska kyrkan, vilken står i kontrast till den tidigare. Uppsatsens slutsatser är att det går att se en tydlig förskjutning i Ekmans förhållningssätt – från en mer individualistisk och kongregationalistisk kristendomssyn till en instutionell ecklesiologi.

Ultra-low frequency (ULF; 1 mHz - 1 Hz) waves are known to play an important role in the transfer of energy from the solar wind to Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) is an international network consisting of 35 low-power high frequency (HF: 3-30 MHz) coherent scatter radars at middle to polar latitudes that look into Earth's upper atmosphere and ionosphere. In this study, we use Doppler velocity measurements obtained by the SuperDARN radars and coordinated spacecraft observations to investigate the occurrence statistics and driving mechanisms of ionospheric ULF waves. We begin in Chapter 2 with a case study of Pi2 pulsations which are short-duration (5-15 min) damped geomagnetic field oscillations with periods of 40-150 s. Simultaneous observations of Pi2 pulsations from THEMIS spacecraft, midlatitude SuperDARN radars, and ground magnetometers, together with analysis of their longitudinal polarization pattern and azimuthal phase propagation, confirmed that they are consistent with a plasmaspheric virtual resonance excited by a longitudinally localized source near midnight. In Chapter 3, to further investigate the overall occurrence of ionospheric ULF signatures, a comprehensive statistical study was conducted using an automated detection algorithm to identify ionospheric signatures of Pc3-4 and Pc5 waves over 7 years of high time resolution SuperDARN radar data. Specifically, we have investigated their spatial occurrence, frequency characteristics, seasonal factors, and dependence on solar wind and geomagnetic conditions. We note two particular findings: (i) an internal wave-particle interaction source is most likely responsible for Pc4 waves at high latitudes in the duskside ionosphere; and, (ii) a source associated with magnetotail dynamics during active geomagnetic times is suggested for Pc3-4/Pi2 waves at midlatitudes in the nightside ionosphere. These findings are further expanded in Chapter 4 which investigates the hypothesis that internal wave-particle interactions are an important source for generation of these waves. A case study of long-lasting poloidal waves was conducted using coordinated observations with the GOES and THEMIS satellites to examine the generation and propagation of waves observed in the dayside ionosphere by multiple SuperDARN radars. The source of wave excitation is suggested to be bump-on-tail ion distributions at 1-3 keV. Collectively, these research findings provide better constraints on where and when ionospheric ULF waves occur, their source mechanisms, and how they might affect magnetospheric and ionospheric dynamics. / Doctor of Philosophy / Earth’s magnetic field, approximates that of a bar magnet. It is an effective barrier to charged particles originating directly from the Sun and protects us against harmful space weather influences. The geomagnetic field lines can oscillate in ultra-low frequencies (ULF: 1 mHz - 1 Hz). These natural oscillations of closed magnetic field lines, analogous to vibrations on a stretched string, are also called geomagnetic pulsations or ULF waves. The interaction between matter and electromagnetic fields emitted from the Sun and the Earth’s outer atmosphere and magnetic field form a magnetic shield named the Earth’s magnetosphere. ULF waves play a key role in the transfer of energy from outside this shield to regions inside it, including Earth’s upper atmosphere and ionosphere (a region extending from about 60 km to 1000 km above the Earth’s surface). In this study, we use Doppler velocity measurements obtained by the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) radars and coordinated spacecraft observations to investigate the occurrence statistics and driving mechanisms of ionospheric ULF waves. We begin in Chapter 2 with an event study of a type of irregular pulsations (Pi2) which are short-duration (5-15 min) damped geomagnetic field oscillations with periods of 40-150 s. Simultaneous observations of Pi2 pulsations from NASA THEMIS spacecraft, midlatitude SuperDARN radars, and ground magnetometers, together with further analysis of wave spectra and propagation, confirmed their driving mechanism as a type of magnetic resonance, analogous to striking a bell. In Chapter 3, to further investigate the overall occurrence of ionospheric ULF signatures, a statistical study was conducted using an automated detection algorithm to identify ionospheric signatures of ULF waves over 7 years of high time resolution SuperDARN radar data. Specifically, we have investigated their spatial occurrence, frequency characteristics, seasonal factors, and dependence on solar and geomagnetic activity. We obtained findings regarding the different driving sources of waves observed in different regions. The findings are further expanded in Chapter 4 which investigates the generation of waves through energy exchange with charged particles. A case study of long-lasting (2-3 days) waves was conducted using coordinated observations with the GOES and THEMIS satellites to examine the generation and propagation of waves observed in the dayside ionosphere by multiple SuperDARN radars. The source of wave excitation is suggested to be unstable particle distributions in the magnetosphere. Collectively, these research findings provide better constraints on where and when ULF waves occur, their source mechanisms, and how they affect dynamics in the geospace environment.

<p>The Swedish contemporary poet Ulf Karl Olov Nilsson (UKON) creates his poems by recycling and manipulating existing material. Though the overall opinion of his work has been positive, the idea that experimental poetry focus shape on the expense of content has led critics to either interpret the nonsensical and absurd aspects of UKON’s poetics as a consequence of the technical methods he uses to create his poetry, or to look beyond the nonsensical and absurd aspects to focus the fact that the poems creates meaning at all. The poems of UKON’s sixth collection of poems, Block (2005), differ from each other in many ways: some poems are lists and other revolves around a person – their content and construction vary and they can hardly be read as an expression of one persons thought. Still, the homogenous visual form creates a sense of uniformity – all the poems are shaped like blocks in different sizes, it has no page numbers and no names has been given the individual poems. By focusing the nonsensical and absurd aspects of UKON’s collection Block, and at the same time read the poetry through the light of the poetic context that UKON is connected to, this essays shows that UKON destroys and creates meaning in a way that is similar to the techniques used by the Victorian nonsense literature. As the Victorian nonsense literature make use of the language’s grammatical rules and genres to give the nonsense text a structure, UKON stages a reciprocal action between making use of and exceeding the conventional use of different language-contexts (e.g. erotic language or expressions such as “one must…”). Thus, the nonsensical aspects of UKON’s poetry are exposed as a consequent course of action to create and destroy meaning and Block can be read as a way to disclose how the language creates and maintains cultural clichés.</p>

Att relationen mellan barn och föräldrar är viktig är välkänt. Tidigare forskning har bland annat visat att det finns ett samband mellan barns psykosomatiska besvär och hur relationen till föräldrarna ser ut. Eftersom relationerna mellan barn och föräldrar har stor betydelse för barns välbefinnande är det intressant att undersöka vad som ligger bakom goda relationer mellan barn och föräldrar. Syftet med denna uppsats är alltså att undersöka vilka faktorer som hänger samman med goda relationer mellan barn och föräldrar. Uppsatsen bygger på material från Statistiska centralbyråns (SCB) Undersökningarna av levnadsförhållanden (ULF) och Undersökningarna av barns levnadsförhållanden (Barn-ULF). Beskrivningen av relationen mellan barn och förälder hämtas från barnintervjun. För att se vad som har betydelse för relationen mellan barn och föräldrar används ett flertal oberoende variabler. Den metod som använts är logistisk regression med klusterdata. Sammanfattningsvis visar studien att barnets kön, ålder, om barnet har sammanboende eller ensamstående föräldrar, om barnet har svensk eller utländsk bakgrund samt barnets eventuella psykosomatiska besvär har betydelse för relationen till föräldrarna. Flickor och pojkar uppger lika goda relationer till sin mamma, medan pojkar har bättre relation än flickor till sin pappa. Äldre barn kommer sämre överens med och pratar i mindre utsträckning med sina föräldrar.  Barn med en ensamstående förälder uppger sämre relation till föräldrarna, och barn med utländsk bakgrund uppger i flera fall sämre relationer till föräldrarna jämfört med barn som har svensk bakgrund. Barn som har psykosomatiska besvär uppger sämre relationer till sina föräldrar än barn som inte har dessa besvär. Orsaker till detta kan exempelvis vara att barn i olika åldrar har olika krav på och relation till sina föräldrar och att barn har sämre relation till den förälder de inte bor tillsammans med, vilket skulle kunna orsaka att barn till ensamstående föräldrar uppger sämre relationer till föräldrarna.
