Nyktra svenskar : Godtemplarrörelsen och den nationella identiteten 1879–1918
- 2001
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The aim of this study is the spread of nationalist ideology in the Good Templar movement – one of the largest mass organisations in Sweden in the decades preceding the introduction of universal suffrage following World War One. This temperance organisation had many significant ideological functions. It was an important arena of integration for Liberal and Social Democrat politicians, a pioneer of popular education, and a significant organiser of leisure activities. It is argued that the nationalist ideology in the Good Templar movement was particularly important in reproducing a bourgeois hegemony in Sweden. In opposing the nationalism of the conservatives, liberals and most socialists advocated a national ideology for a new and democratic Sweden. They idealised the ‘people’ of the popular movements in political issues, in the writing of history, and with the spread of folklore. At the same time, this ideology integrated workers, small farmers, schoolteachers etc. into a homogeneous group – the ‘people’, i.e. the nucleus of the nation. Much of this nationalism was considered to be politically neutral, and part of a cultural heritage that was supposed to be spread to the population. Through the consistent singing of the national anthem at the end of the temperance meeting, and through the ritual flying of the flag at larger gatherings, a general national ideology was disseminated. This nationalism was largely shared by socialists and non-socialists, with the purpose of creating consent to the parliamentary, bourgeois-democratic state. The nationalism of the Good Templars was largely cultural rather than civic. Especially after 1900, the folkloristic element of the movement was substantial. In many ways the temperance movement was the principal agent in making folk dances, folk games, and ritual meetings in the outdoors typical elements of Swedish nationalism.

Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Syftet med denna avhandling är att undersöka vilken ekonomisk och social ställning den judiska minoriteten intog i det svenska samhället under perioden 1870 till 1940. Tidigare forskning har riktat stor uppmärksamhet mot rättsliga och politiska aspekter av den svenska judenhetens historia, mer sällan mot judarna och samhället i en bredare bemärkelse. Andra studier har lyft fram antisemitism på svensk mark utan att koppla fenomenet till en social nivå.Genom en undersökning av hur judiska invandrare, med ursprung i Östeuropa, successivt fogades in i några svenska lokalsamhällen, tar denna avhandling ett bredare grepp på frågan om judarna och samhället. Här undersöks hur den svenska judenheten integrerades i samhället efter det att emancipationen gett judarna fulla medborgerliga och politiska rättigheter. Judarnas ekonomiska och sociala ställning undersöks, liksom den sociala antisemitism som drabbade judarna. Studien rör sig i gränslandet mellan social- och kulturhistoria. Undersökningen visar att merparten av judarna i Sundsvall, en betydelsefull handelsstad i norra Sverige, fick sin försörjning genom en föga lönsam gårdfarihandel under början av undersökningsperioden. Sedan butiks- och grosshandelsrörelser började grundas inleddes en långsam socioekonomisk klättring. I takt med de ekonomiska framgångarna ökade judarnas sociala status, med engagemang i föreningslivet och lokalpolitiken. De framgångsrika familjerna tonade ner sin judiska identitet till förmån för en borgerlig och nationell kultur.Ungefär hälften av den judiska gruppen fick aldrig uppleva framgången utan förblev en marginaliserad grupp, med småhantverk eller gårdfarihandel som försörjningsbas. Det stora flertalet av denna underklass saknade svenskt medborgarskap. En social klyfta vidgades gentemot den judiska borgerligheten. Under hela undersökningsperioden var antisemitismen en kulturell kod i majoritetssamhället, oavsett integration och socioekonomisk framgång. Mycket tyder på att det sociala klimatet blev mer fientligt gentemot judarna efter 1920. Studien visar att nationalstaten Sverige lämnade litet utrymme för multikulturella strukturer. Judarna accepterades som nationens styvbarn men knappast som fullvärdiga svenskar.

Studies of distributions in physics using maximum entropy and scaling methods
- 1993
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The maximum entropy method (MEM) is applied in the analysis of equilibrium systems. Some general properties of the MEM and how to choose constraints as well as moments are discussed. A numerically stable algorithm is developed and implemented. Distributions arising from physical processes are studied. In particular, charge-state distributions arising in beam-foil spectroscopy have been studied in detail. The main emphasis lies on finding regularities and systematic behaviour through the MEM. It is shown that in the studied system there is a general Gaussian behaviour and the implications of using only Gaussians are discussed. Extending the MEM to an analysis of non-equilibrium systems requires care when choosing the number of moments. How to use the MEM to examine time-dependent problems is discussed. Time evolution of a distribution can be described on a microscopic level by master equations and on a macroscopic level by Fokker-Planck equations. These approaches can be connected through a scaling method: the large-Omega scaling. The procedure and its applications are thoroughly described . Scaling methods in general have a wide applicability in many fields. The method of dimensional scaling is applied in the calculation of multipole polarizabilities. The result is compared to what is obtained from an exact calculation. Also, a procedure to calculate energies of excited states in atoms or molecules by using dimensional scaling on local pseudopotentials is developed.
