Efter krigets och ångestens fyrtiotal vände sig den svenska litteraturen mot den ljusa romantiken, heter det i handböckerna. Paul Tenngarts studier av fem svenska författare med rötter i den legendariska Metamorfoskretsen - Paul Andersson, Lasse Söderberg, Svante Foerster, Petter Bergman och Birgitta Stenberg - ger en annan bild, där romantiken är samhällskritisk med udden riktad mot folkhemsbygge

It could be an Internet application, a manufacturing system, office support software, electronic data interchange or something else, applied in order to create economic benefits through improvements of operative work tasks and business

Introduction to the book

Methods for monitoring seepage and detecting internal erosion are essential for the safety evaluation of embankment dams. Internal erosion is one of the major reasons for embankment dam failures, and there are several tenths of thousands of large embankment dams in the world. Internal erosion is progressing inside the dam, and is sometimes difficult to detect by conventional methods. Therefore, th

An overview of the new field of Gas in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy (GASMAS) is presented. The GASMAS technique combines narrow-band diode-laser spectroscopy with optical propagation in diffuse media. Whereas solids and liquids have broad absorption features, free gas in pores and cavities in the material is characterized by sharp spectral signatures. These are typically 10,000 times s

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar modellsystem för farmaka som har DNA och RNA som mål i cellen. Framförallt behandlar den hur strukturen hos DNA och RNA påverkas av inbindning av olika substanser, samt hur fort denna inbindning sker. Tre olika typer av farmaka behandlas: 1. Platinaföreningar som länge använts som cytostatika, 2. RNA interferens som främst har utvecklats undDrugs targeting nucleic acids were studied in DNA and RNA model systems. The effects were investigated with respect to structural and thermodynamic influence, kinetics, and biological function. The drugs employed in this thesis were anticancer active platinum(II) complexes, polyamine derivatives, and siRNA. Structural changes were determined by use of chemical probing and circular dichroism (CD),

Verksamhetsteori erbjuder ett kvalitetsverktyg som gör att forskare från olika discipliner och praktiker från olika verksamhetsfält kan mötas i både analys och genomförande. Introduktion till verksamhetsteori ger en överblick över den kulturhistoriska verksamhetsteorins tillkomst, från Vygotskij, Luria och Leontiev fram till våra dagars spännande riktningar inom pedagogik, organisationsteori och

Though asthma is a commonly occurring disorder today, the development and introduction of anti-inflammatory drugs in treating it has changed the possibilities of living with it. At the same time, the Swedish guidelines for asthma care have changed: the patient is to take responsibility for her or his chronic illness to attain full quality of life. The study aims to make a cultural analytical inves

Relationships between subjective perception of indoor air quality, building characteristics, indoor exposures, and personal factors were studied in 225 female Swedish hospital workers. The prevalence of weekly complaints to do with dry air was 87% for air dryness, and 36% for static electricity. Such com plaints were more common in new and well ventilated buildings. The sensa tion of air dryness w

Kring en kritik av senare års ekonomiska globalisering har under 2000-talet samlats en rad organisationer och rörelser, för att gemensamt protestera mot såväl internationella och övernationella organ som nationella regeringar och den politik som dessa står för. Förutom som en kritik mot globaliseringens former, kan protesterna samtidigt ses som ett globalt fenomen i sig. Genom transnationella nätv

Popular Abstract in Swedish Är ledgångsreumatism en immunreaktion mot brosk? Kroppens immunförsvar bygger på ett antal olika vita blodkroppar, immunceller, som cirkulerar i blod och lymfa på spaning efter främmande och farliga "angrepp". Immuncellerna sägs svara på "angrepp", sådana immunsvar dirigeras av s k T-hjälparceller (Th-celler). Th-cellerna kommer från benmärgen, men de blir inte funktioThis thesis is based on work trying to understand the normal and pathological interactions taking place between the immune system and cartilage, specifically involving the cartilage-specific protein typ II collagen (CII). The work has been carried out in an experimental model of rheumatoid arthritis namely collagen type II induced arthritis (CIA) in mice. CIA can be triggered in mice of certain MH

Product design, packaging and logistics have a significant impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of supply chains. The packaging design is usually limited by the product characteristics hence influencing possible logistical solutions. A need has been recognized to consider packaging and logistical issues early in the product development process. Case studies involving companies from the Swedi
