The automotive industry is using more and more of Advanced High Strength Steel in order to reduce the weight of the car. Since this will generate more springback, it is of vital importance to be able to predict the amount of springback in the parts. Otherwise, many late changes have to be made in order to fit the parts in their position. In order to increase the ability to understand and test the

Popular Abstract in Swedish I vår omgivning finns det många bakterier, virus och parasiter som kan skada och göra människor sjuka. För att skydda oss mot angrepp av dessa sjukdomsalstrande organismer och andra skadliga ämnen har flera nivåer av skyddsmekanismer utvecklats. Huden, slemhinnorna och det låga pH-värdet i magsäcken är några av de yttre barriärer som hindrar många skadliga organismer atThe aim of this thesis was to characterise the biological functions of the superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin H (SEH). Superantigens are highly immunostimulatory proteins, which crosslink T cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs). SEH is included in a family of staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) produced by certain strains of Staphylococcus aureus. The three-dimensional fold of SEH was dete

An anthology of sermons from the third to the sixteenth century, translated from the original languages (Greek, Latin, Coptic, Old English, Old Norse, Early Modern German and Swedish) into modern Swedish. With introduction on sermons and preaching by the editor.

This paper introduces a new method for combining high resolution parameter estimates with ray-launching based wave propagation prediction. The idea behind the proposed measurement-based ray tracing tool is to use measured data as the input for a ray-launching algorithm. With the developed tool, it is possible to identify dominant propagation phenomena and relate them with the objects in the physic

Tillitsfulla relationer mellan vårdpersonal, administratörer och politiker har en avgörande betydelse för vårdens omställning och det förnyelsearbete som bedrivs. Dessa relationer behöver systematiseras, stödjas för att fyllas med utvecklingskraft. Organisationer som medvetet satsar på att bygga dessa relationer för att bedriva verksamhet skapar innovationer i små steg”. Dessa tankar blev vägledan

In this essay, I discuss two major theoretical discourses of modernity, namely, of classical modernity and postmodernity. Moreover, I aim at a proposition of a possible historical relation between those two discourses of crucial importance to modernity’s intellectual history. This historical connection is founded on what I call the principle of insufficient reason. The principle of insufficient

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling har jag studerat jordlöparnas (Carabidae) dynamik i de intensivt brukade landskapen som återfinns i Skånes slättbygd. Jordlöpare är en artrik familj av rovlevande skalbaggar som är vanligt förekommande i jordbruksmark. De livnär sig på en mängd olika insekter, andra leddjur och blötdjur, som t.ex. skadedjur såsom bladlöss eller kålflugans ägg. För attIn this thesis I have focused on studying dynamics of ground beetle assemblages in intensively managed agricultural landscapes. By definition, the land cover of these landscapes is dominated by annually tilled farmland, comprising a range of different crop types, in the context of the southern Swedish province of Scania mostly winter wheat, spring barley, winter rapeseed, and sugar beets. This bac

This paper shows the importance of adopting a wide perspective when analysing packaging and logistics and of having an understanding of how the package is related to logistics activities. It also exemplifies and discusses the importance of understanding the logistics chain and making sure that all parts of the logistics chain work together and support each other. The packages are good examples of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid extern strålbehandling används en s.k. linjäraccelerator för att producera och leverera den önskade strålningen till cancertumörer. I linjäracceleratorn accelereras elektroner till nära ljusets hastighet och styrs sedan mot en metalplatta där de bromsas upp och genererar bromsstrålningsfotoner (högenergetisk röntgenstrålning). Intensiteten av den strålning som sändsThe aim of this work was to investigate the dosimetric effects of removing the flattening filter from conventional C-arm medical linear accelerators. In conventional linear accelerators used for radiotherapy, a flattening filter is positioned in the beam line to provide a uniform lateral dose profile at a specified depth in water. However, for some radiotherapy treatments, a uniform lateral dose p
