Popular Abstract in Swedish 'Ordekvilibristen Anthony Burgess firar triumfer i sin nya bok' - 'Nadine Gordimer har sällan skrivit en mer förtätad prosa'. Kritikerberömmet ger intrycket att Burgess och Gordimer har skrivit sina böcker direkt på svenska. I själva verket har de svenska formuleringarna åstadkommits av en översättare. I föreliggande avhandling undersöker jag vad som händer när ett sköWhose text is a work of fiction in translation? The aim of this thesis is to examine what happens to a novel when it is translated from one language into another. By analysing the Swedish translations of six contemporary novels written in English I attempt to identify what I refer to as the translator´s voice. The translations have been made by two of Sweden´s most highly thought-of translators, E

Structural and mechanical adaptations in response to sustained changes in arterial pressure were studied on abdominal aorta of the male rat. Two models were used: 1. Aortic ligature (L), immediately below the renal arteries producing hypotension distal to the knot (duration before sacrifice 6 weeks or 3 months). 2. One-clip renal hypertensive rats (H) (duration 6 weeks). Normotensive sham-operated

A list of 1719 chemical compounds identified from headspace samples of floral scent is presented. The list has been compiled from some 270 published papers, including analyses of 991 species of flowering plants and a few gymnosperms, a sample including seed plants from 90 families and 38 orders. The compounds belong to seven major compound classes, of which the aliphatics, the benzenoids and pheny

Symtomen vid diastolisk hjärtsvikt skiljer sig inte från dem vid systolisk funktionsnedsättning. Nya rön har framkommit om förekomsten och betydelsen av symtom och hur de bedöms av patienter och sjukvårdspersonal. Bakomliggande mekanismer till diastolisk rubbning presenteras här utifrån cellulära mekanismer och bakomliggande sjukdomar såsom hypertoni, diabetes och övervikt.

The problem of binding of microbial cells to an adsorbent matrix during in situ recovery of bioproducts from a fermentation broth has been addressed by shielding the adsorbent with a thin layer of a non-ionic polymer. Extractive bioconversion of lactic acid by integrating ion-exchange adsorption with the fermentation stage was studied. The effect of coating of the ion-exchanger with agarose on pro

Computer programming should be expressing the complicated in easily understandable parts. General languages provide tools and abstractions that allow many different problems to be formulated and solved. Unfortunately, these abstraction only rarely match the problem area precisely, resulting in solutions that are obscured by the need for support code unrelated to the problem. This can be avoided, b

We present experimental results and theoretical calculations of the vertical electron transport through a laterally constricted resonant tunneling transistor. Current-voltage measurements at 4.2 K show numerous current peaks that exhibit a complex dependence on the applied gate voltage. A scattering-matrix approach combined with the Landauer formalism was used to perform quantum mechanical calcula

The susceptibility pattern of Mycobacterium marinum was determined. Quinupristin-dalfopristin and telithromycin were less active than clarithromycin. Linezolid showed good antimicrobial activity at clinically achievable concentrations. Gatifloxacin, levofloxacin, and moxifloxacin displayed activities similar to those of ciprofloxacin. Gemifloxacin was less active. The Etest method showed variable

Permian rocks from five localities in the northern Heimefrontfjella have been investigated palynologically and identifiable palynomorphs are present in samples from three of them, namely A and C in Milorgfjella and Lidkvarvet in Sivorgfjella. Eighty palynomorph taxa are recognized and two new combinations are proposed, Converrucosisporites gradegranulatus (Anderson) Lindstrom, comb, nov, and Canna
