The purpose of this report is to give the background of the chosen methodology to analyse cost-benefit of industrial fire protection. Further more the investigation work has been compiled and some future research topics have been suggested.

Om den politiska svartlistningen av filmarbetare i den amerikanska filmindustrin under 1940- och 1950-talen.

Looking backwards the history of Swedish is characterized by the growing impportance of written language, increased standardization of written and spoken language, growth of the Swedish vocabulary. It is hypothesized that this development will stagnate in the future. The hypothesis ist tested in a discussion against the background of a number of societal phenomena that can be expected to affect th

This study examined 2 samples of adolescents and mothers using a child-based design (Nonshared Environment in Adolescent Development [NEAD] project, N = 395 families) and a parent-based design (Twin Moms [TM] project, N = 236 twin family pairs) to compare genetic and environmental influences on mothering. For both samples, the same measures of positivity, negativity, control, and monitoring were u

A short sketch of the concept of Book and Library History as a field of study, according to the author, holder of the Chair in that subject at Lund University.

A search for the simultaneous presence of two hepatitis C virus (HCV) types in sera of a group of chronically infected intravenous drug users, hemodialysis patients and hemophiliacs from Sweden and Russia was performed with two genotyping methods based on the use of type-specific primers from core and NS4 regions of the viral genome. An important feature of NS4 based assay is that type-specific pr

OBJECTIVE—The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of sympathetic versus parasympathetic neuropathy among type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—There were 43 patients with type 1 and 17 with type 2 diabetes who were investigated. Sympathetic nerve function was assessed by measurement of the vasoconstriction (VAC) index by laser Doppler perfusion imaging of a

Resonant and normal Auger electron spectra associated with an O1s initial vacancy of the O-2 molecule have been recorded using photon energies of 541.80, 541.97 and 650 eV. The resonant Auger spectra obtained at 541.80 and 541.97 eV are interpreted as composed essentially of two characteristic parts, one between 10 and 35 eV binding energy reminiscent to direct photoionisation, and another, above

Laminin has been proposed to influence the function of human adrenal cortex. We have studied the distribution of laminin (Ln) chains using immunofluorescence in human fetal and adult adrenal cortex. In the fetal gland Ln alpha2- and alpha5-chains were weakly expressed in the definitive zone, whereas Ln alpha4-, beta1-, and gamma1-chains occurred around vessels. In the adult gland, Ln alpha2-, alph

Först nu finns det belägg för att man kan påstå att managementkonceptet Balanced Scorecard också börjat användas som styrverktyg. Denna, i våra ögon smått dramatiska slutsats, vågar vi dra utifrån två studier som på olika sätt försökt få en bild av styrverktygets spridning bland Sveriges kommuner.
