Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna avhandling är att undersöka mötet mellan den kyrkliga överheten och de olika lokalsamhällena sådant som det tog sig uttryck vid de kyrkliga visitationerna. I fokus står biskopsvisitationerna men även de visitationer som prostarna genomförde tas upp till behandling. Undersökningsområdet är Växjö stift och den tidsmässiga avgränsningen är 1650-1760. De frThe aim of this thesis is to investigate the encounter of the ecclesiastical authorities with the local community, as reflected in the church visitations. The focus is on the bishops' visitations, but there is also a brief examination of the deans' visitations, which are used for a comparison of the two types of inspections. The geographical limit of the study is the diocese of Växjö in southern S

I samband med att Kvinnofridsreformen i Sverige 1998 uppdrog regeringen åt brottsoffermyndigheten att undersöka mörkertalet i fråga om mäns våld mot kvinnor som ett komplement till den officiella statistik som brottsförebyggande rådet normalt svarade för. Ansvaret för studien tilldelades Eva Lundgren, professor i sociologi och Gun Heimer, överläkare och chef för RiksKvinnoCentrum. Tillsammans med

Objectives. To estimate the point prevalence (p.p.) of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) and Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) within a defined population in southern Sweden. Method. A cross-sectional p.p. study using multiple sources for case identification. The study area, a healthcare district around the city of Lund in southern Sweden (Mellers

Background: Work capacity correlates weakly to disease concepts, which in turn are insufficient to explain sick leave behavior. With data mainly from Sweden, a welfare state with high sickness absence rates, our aim was to develop an explanatory theory of how to understand and deal with work absence and sick leave. Methods: We used classic grounded theory for analyzing data from >130 interviews wi

NA44 uses a 512 channel Si pad array covering 1.5 < eta < 3.3 to study charged hadron production in 158 A GeV Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS. We apply a multiresolution analysis, based on a Discrete Wavelet Transformation, to probe the texture of particle distributions event-by-event, by simultaneous localization of features in space and scale. Scanning a broad range of multiplicities, we look f

Binding of immobilized collagen-I (Cn-I) and fibronectin (Fn) by Lactobacillus acidophilus CRL 639 depends on cell-surface proteins. Capsule formation during the stationary growth phase has a negative effect on adherence of Cn-I and Fn. However, cells from the exponential growth phase. which produce no capsule, exhibit maximal binding. Binding is sensitive to trypsin, proteinase K, pronase E, and

GaAs(100) layers grown by low-temperature (LT) molecular beam epitaxy were studied by means of valence-band and core-level photoelectron spectroscopy. Small differences were found between valence-band spectra from the LT layers and corresponding layers grown at high temperature. In the Ga 3d spectra a new component was found in the LT-GaAs. The relative intensity of this component was found to be

Few cases of atrial fibrillation can be completely excused from the possibility of having some impact of potential importance in the aviation environment. The clinical pattern in paroxysmal disturbance is very wide and possible incapacitating phenomena are mainly haemodynamic. In contrast, chronic atrial fibrillation is mostly well-tolerated with only minimal haemodynamic effect, but there is a ri

Denna rapport syftar till att anvisa metoder för att beräkna eller bedöma risken för fuktskador, särskilt i träkonstruktioner. I rapporten ingår en allmän orientering i riskanalys, statistiska beräkningar enligt Monte Carlo-metoden samt andra beräkningar av riskfaktorer gällande fukt- och mögelangrepp.

Background: Maintenance treatment with inhaled corticosteroids is often required for asthmatic nursing women. Data on the transfer of inhaled corticosteroids from plasma to breast milk and the subsequent exposure of the breast-feeding infant has been unavailable. Objective: We sought to assess budesonide concentrations in milk and plasma of asthmatic nursing women receiving maintenance treatment w

In Sweden, extensive research is conducted to find alternative sources of energy that should partly replace the electric power production from nuclear power. With the ambition to create a sustainable system for producing energy, the use of renewable energy is expected to grow further and biofuels are expected to account for a significant part of this increase. However, when biofuels are burned or

We present growth studies of InAs nanowires nucleated from lithographically positioned Au seeds on InAs (111)B substrates. The nanowires are grown in a chemical beam epitaxy system and exhibit high aspect ratios and high homogeneity in length and width. Investigations of wire growth rate as a function of diameter, density, and time were performed and the results indicate that 80% of the growth is

Globaliseringsrörelsen har observerats allt mer. Men den består inte av en rörelse utan av flera. I samband med rapporteringen från Göteborg och Genua har också den nya boken ”Empire” uppmärksammats. Boken försöker fånga den anda som driver globaliseringsrörelsen framåt och de politiska rörelser som politiserar denna process.

Moisture problems in buildings are increasingly being reported in the mass media in Sweden, often leading to some controversial stories about companies and their building processes. Using building physics and building performance principles during the design stage can often prevent most problems from occurring. One of the big questions is, with all the available knowledge about designing a buildin

The outermost layer of skin, stratum corneum (SC), functions as the major barrier to diffusion. SC has the architecture of dead keratin filled cells embedded in a lipid matrix. This work presents a detailed study of the hydration process in extracted SC lipids, isolated corneocytes and intact SC. Using isothermal sorption microcalorimetry and relaxation and wideline 1H NMR, we study these systems

The structure of nuclei far from beta-stability lines is expected to show various interesting and exotic phenomena, due to the unique features: (a) the presence of nucleons with very small binding energies and largely extended wave-functions; (b) large difference between the Fermi levels of protons and neutrons; (c) exotic ratios of the proton to neutron numbers for a given mass number. Among the

New methods for spectrophotometric alkalinity measurement, dissolved hydrogen monitoring and for obtaining a fingerprint of the microbial community were evaluated as tools for process monitoring in anaerobic digestion. The anaerobic digestion process was operated at organic loading rates of 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5g volatile solids l-1d-1 and subjected to pulse loads of carbohydrate, lipid, protein and a

Chromosomal rearrangements involving chromosome bands 12q13-15 are very frequent findings in benign solid tumors, and recently, the primary molecular target for these aberrations was identified as the gene HMGIC. However, mutations in this gene have also been observed in nonneoplastic tissues. In a previous study, we reported breakpoints within HMGIC of synovia affected by osteoarthritis (OA) in t
