This licentiate thesis deals with the development of monetary- and foreign exchange rate policies in Sweden between 1834 and 1880. Policies are analysed in the framework of a specie standard. Changes in markets and market conditions were crucial in the development of the policies in 19th century Sweden. Sweden went from a silver standard regime, based almost exclusively on rules, to a gold standar

The paper investigates conceptions of nature in the interplay between Swedish and German enlightened periodical press.

Media coverage of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict does not necessarily enhance one’s knowledge or understanding of the Palestinians; on the contrary they are often reduced to either victims or perpetrators. Similarly, while many academic studies devote considerable effort to analyzing the political situation in the occupied territories, there have been few sophisticated case studies of Palestinia

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling beskriver arbetet med att finna en effektiv metod för att rena glykoproteiner. Glykoproteiner är en grupp biomolekyler som består av ett skelett av protein där ett antal socker-molekyler är fästa. Glykoproteiner finns i alla virus, mikroorganismer, växter och djur. Där består deras uppgifter bland annat i att bilda strukturelement som cellväggar, de funGlycoproteins, a class of biomolecules, exhibit a variety of biological activities and therefore are of importance in modern biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry. Pure glycoproteins are needed for structural and functional studies. However, the separation of glycoproteins has been a problem until now due to their structural complexity. Efficient separation techniques are thus required. This

The aim of the thesis is to describe and analyze the Swedish public psychiatric hospitals between 1850 and 1970 as well as the treatment, care and custody that these hospitals provided. The study has as its starting point two relationships. The first is the relationship between the patient’s body and the space of the institution. One focus is on how the patient’s body has been enclosed by the inst

Popular Abstract in Swedish Amplituden för fem olika processer av typen K -> 3 Pi och tre olika av K -> 2 Pi har beräknats i kiral störningsteori. Beräkningen har genomförts flera gånger med olika approximationer. Först används isospin-approximationen, men detta resulterar i diskrepanser mellan teori och experiment. I följande beräkningar tas isospin-approximationen bort i två steg, för att se om The five different K -> 3 Pi and the three K -> 2 Pi decays are calculated in Chiral Perturbation Theory. The calculation is done using different approximations, to study whether this changes the result significantly. First the isospin approximation is used. Discrepancies are then found between theory and experiment. Further calculations without the isospin approximation are then done to see if th
