The binaries PSR J1141-6545 and PSR B2303+46 each appear to contain a white dwarf that formed before the neutron star. We describe an evolutionary pathway to produce these two systems. In this scenario, the primary transfers its envelope on to the secondary, which is then the more massive of the two stars, and indeed sufficiently massive later to produce a neutron star via a supernova. The core of

Popular Abstract in Swedish I den litteratur om marknadsföring, som vanligen används på universitet och högskolor, framställs ofta marknadsföringsarbete som något som äger rum i en objektivt given värld, vilken kan observeras, diskuteras och studeras som ett ”faktum” utanför och mer eller mindre oberoende av företaget och dess aktiviteter. I denna avhandling är utgångspunkten istället att det vi uThe aim of this thesis is to offer a contribution to the understanding of marketing work. In orthodox, mainstream marketing management literature, the work of marketing is commonly depicted as a fairly straightforward practice, technical in character, neutral in terms of social values and ideologies, operating within an objective and pre-given world. A counter picture to this idealised view of mar

Anaerobic digestion and the production of biogas can provide an efficient means of meeting energy needs locally and reducing organic loading due to untreated waste material in water recipients. Furthermore, residues after anaerobic digestion may be used as a fertilizer to improve the soil in many parts of the world. Most natural organic waste can be used in anaerobic digestion. In developing count

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur framställer Johannesevangeliet Jesus och effekterna av hans gärning med tanke på de universella och inkluderande drag som finns i detta evangelium? Hur förhåller sig dessa inkluderande drag till framställningen i övrigt och till de begränsande och exkluderande drag som också finns där, och hur ska dessa motstridiga drag i evangeliet förklaras? Denna avhandling sökeMy thesis is an analysis of exclusive and inclusive features i the Gospel of John, focusing on the inclusive elements which comprise the world and all its people. These questions are the issue of my thesis: How does the Gospel of John present Jesus and the results of his work with regard to the universal and inclusive features which are in the Gospel? How do they relate to the presentation in gene

Popular Abstract in Swedish Eftersom allt i och runt oss består av kemikalier är det av högsta vikt att vi förstår hur dessa reagerar med varandra. Katalytiska omvandlingar är kemiska reaktioner där en katalysator underhåller en reaktion utan att själv förbrukas. Inom metallorganisk kemi är tillverkning och förstålelsen av hur komplex med övergångsmetaller kan användas vi katalys mycket viktig. KoAbstract The work presented in this thesis discusses synthesis of PCP-complexes and utilisations of such organometallic compounds in catalysis. The complexes, obtained by intramolecular Csp3-H activation, are based on the metals palladium, platinum and iridium. The synthesis of PCP-ligands include new and improved preparative routes to the previously known cis-1,3-bis-(di-iso-propylphosphinito)cy

Hur kan man förklara att det finns familjer som befinner sig i välfärdens utkant? Vad vet vi egentligen om de barn och familjer som lever mitt ibland oss, men utan tillgång till ett tryggt boende? Hur upplever de drabbade barnen situationen? Barn utan hem belyser frågan om barn och familjer i hemlöshet ur olika perspektiv. Författarna lyfter fram de grupper som ställts utanför såväl arbetsmarknad

Wearable medical devices can be positioned around the torso for monitoring of critical health parameters. The signal transmission between them is through a wireless link over an on-body propagation channel. In this paper, the effect of some factors which could influence the propagation channel around the torso as: (a) frequency of operation (b) positions of the arms (c) material of a chair used, h

Three pyralid moths, the Mediterranean flour moth (Ephestia kuehniella), the almond moth (Ephestia cautella) and the Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella), infest food products all over the world and cause severe problems in factories, shops and households. For health and environmentalreasons chemical control becomes more and more restricted. We here present some promising results offering effi

During the 1990s public services have to a great extent reorganised according to the idea of market economy and new management ideas. An example that illustrates these processes is the home care organisations. Private companies, new management strategies and special need assessment officials have been introduced. In a longitudinal study we have focused on the fate of the working teams as it is sho

The first part of Syntax of the Modern Greek Verbal System(second thoroughly revised edition) deals with the grammatical categrories of verbs (voice, aspect etc.) and the use of each verbal form (ëýíù, ëýóù, Ýëõíá, Ýëõóá, imperatives etc.). The second part deals in detail with the functions of the particles èá, áò and especially õá. Two brief final chapters cover indirect speech and the use of the
