Popular Abstract in Swedish De skånska godsen har genom århundradena inte bara utgjort ett spektakulärt inslag i landskapsbilden, de har också varit centrum för politisk maktutövning och jurisdiktion. I denna bok kartläggs och analyseras de skånska godsens ekonomiska och arbetsorganisatoriska utveckling från dansk tid till 1800-talets andra hälft. Utvecklingen vid nio gods uppmärksammas i fallstudThe aim of this study is to systematically survey and analyse the Scanian manors’ economic and labour organisational development from the province’s Danish times to the middle of the nineteenth century. In this thesis the various surveys provides some clear results that make it possible to generalise the Scanian estate development. Manors were generally large at the end of the the seventeenth cent

In this paper we apply a microscopic nonequilibrium many body Keldysh Green's functions approach to an analysis of complex intersubband optical materials and devices. The calculated absorption/gain spectra are in very good agreement with transmission spectroscopy measurements of quantum cascade laser structures operating in the mid-infrared (midIR). The very good agreement reached between theoreti

The utility of the PCR-based AFLP technique (polymerase chain reactions amplified fragment length polymorphisms) was explored in elucidating details of polyploid evolution in the Eurasian orchid genus Dactylorhiza. We emphasized Swedish taxa but also included some material from the British Isles and elsewhere in Europe. Three different sets of primers, amplifying different subsets of restriction f

We compare the generation and decay dynamics of charges and excitons in a model polymer semiconductor (MEH-PPV) in solution and drop-cast thin films, by recording the sub-ps transient complex conductivity using THz time-domain spectroscopy. The results show that the quantum efficiency of charge generation is two orders of magnitude smaller in solution (~10–5) than in the solid film (~10–3). The pr

A perceptual experiment concerning South Swedish word accents (accent I, accent II) is described. By means of editing and resynthesis techniques the F0 pattern of a test word in a phrase context has been systematically manipulated: initial rise (glide vs. jump) and final concatenation (6 timing degrees of the accentual fall). The results indicate that both a gliding rise and a late fall seem neces

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste decennierna har våra skogar utsatts för en allt högre grad av stress som en följd av förändrade produktionsmönster och en hög deposition av gödande och försurande ämnen, såsom kväve ovh svavel. Kväve är det ämne som begränsar trädens tillväxt, och det höga nedfallet av detta ämne har resulterat i att träden växt mycket snabbbare. Deras behov av andra näForests in Sweden are undergoing rapid and considerable changes regarding both management methods and environmental conditions. To understand the effects of these changes and to be able to predict impending changes in forest ecosystems, a holistic understanding of the processes governing the ecosystem is needed. To gain such an understanding, the ForSAFE model of the biogeochemical cycles in a for

Background Atherosclerosis begins early in life. Infections might contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In this study, we investigated whether acute infections in children could alter the carotid wall morphology and the tipid profile. Methods Mean carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) was measured by high-resolution ultrasound in 28 hospitatised children (mean age: 5 2 years), who fulf

Galectin-8 has two carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs), both of which bind beta-galactosides, but have different. ne specificity for larger saccharides. Previously we found that both CRDs were needed for efficient cell surface binding and signaling by soluble galectin-8, but unexpectedly binding of the N-CRD to its best ligands, alpha 2-3-sialylated galactosides, was not needed. In search for

Fourth-generation (4G) systems are expected to support data rates of the order of 100 Mb/s in the outdoor environment and 1 Gb/s in the indoor/stationary environment. In order to support such large payloads, the radio physical layer must employ receiver algorithms that provide a significant increase in spectrum efficiency (and, hence, capacity) over current wireless systems. Recently, an explosion

A semiclassical description of structure functions in DIS at small x is presented. It gives an intuitive picture of the transition from the Double Leading Log approximation at large Q(2), to the powerlike dependence on x in the BFKL region at limited Q(2). Formal derivations from perturbative QCD, e.g. in the BFKL or the CCFM formalisms, are technically complicated, and therefore such an intuitive

Background: Daycare infants have more infectious episodes, see a physician more often, and are prescribed antibiotics more often than home care infants. Aim: To compare physician consultations and antibiotic prescription in daycare children and home care children taking number of symptom days, sociodemographic factors, concern about infectious illness and antibiotic knowledge into account. Methods

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det råder delade meningar om hur man bäst tar hand om patienter med lindrig primär hyperparatyreoidism (PHPT), dvs. överfunktion i en eller flera av de fyra bisköldkörtlarna med endast lätt förhöjning av kalciumnivån i blodet. Det finns de som förordar operation, medan andra anser att det inte behövs någon behandling så länge sjukdomen inte förvärras. Syftet med det aktThere is an ongoing controversy regarding how to take care of patients with mild primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Some recommend surgical treatment at diagnosis, others just follow-up as long as there is no evidence of disease progression. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate cardiac and skeletal risk factors related to the duration of mild PHPT. Fifty patients with mild PHPT were randomized

Today, cognitive impairment can be successfully treated with acetylcholine esterase inhibitors (AChE-I) in many, but not all, patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). To investigate the relation between tacrine treatment, inheritance of ApoE epsilon4 alleles, and rate of progression, the differences in MMSE and CIBIC scores (efficacy parameters) after 6 and 12 months of tacrine (an AChE-I) treatmen
