Popular Abstract in Swedish Östersjön är idag ett av världens största innanhav med endast marginellt utbyte av vatten med Kattegatt via Öresund samt Lilla och Stora Bält. Saltrika inflöden från Kattegatt orsakar två salthaltsgradienter, en horisontell med mer saltrikt vatten i sydväst och mer färskt i Bottenhavet, samt en vertikal saltgradient (haloklin) med mer saltrikt bottenvatten och mer färskThe Baltic Sea is one of the world’s largest brackish water environments and is today suffering from, for example, eutrophication, spreading hypoxia, accumulations of contaminants and invasive organisms. These problems exist due to a combination of natural features that makes the Baltic Sea a sensitive ecosystem (such as long water residence time, limited water exchange, large catchment area), and

The study of residences at central places from the Late Iron Age in Scandinavia has mainly been aimed at identifying buildings of exceptional size or function. However, until recently the archaeological situation has not been detailed enough to study the sequence of a residence for several centuries and with internal changes related to internal or external factors. New excavation results from Uppå

Popular Abstract in Swedish Enzymet histidin dekarboxylas - en nyckelroll i bildningen av histamin Histamin är en välkänd substans som är en av orsakerna till bland annat allergiska symptom. Alla som har hösnuva känner väl till hur histamin verkar, svullnande ögon och rinnande näsa. Histamin är inblandad i en mängd olika funktioner i kroppen såsom allergiska reaktioner och inflammationer av alla Histamine is involved in a variety of physiological processes like gastric acid secretion, inflammation and neurotransmission. The production of histamine is catalysed by the enzyme histidine decarboxylase (HDC), which is a strongly regulated enzyme. Mammalian HDC mRNA encodes a protein with a molecular mass of 74 kDa, which is greater than that reported for the subunit of purified mammalian HDC,

Objective: To investigate if the improved glucose tolerance previously observed at breakfast following an evening meal with boiled barley kernels derives from colonic events related to the fermentation of the elevated amounts of indigestible carbohydrates present and/or from the low-GI features. Subjects/Methods: Twenty healthy volunteers aged 19–30 years. Design: High-GI white wheat bread (WWB)

Projektet Renässans 1.5 utgår ifrån det faktum att det i den traditionella produktutvecklingsprocessen normalt krävs flera iterationer i processens olika faser innan man kan nå en acceptabel kompromiss mellan estetiska krav och konstruktions- och tillverkningskrav. Den snabba utvecklingen inom optimeringsteknik och kunskapsbaserad konstruktion gör det möjligt att integrera ett datorbaserat formgivThe Renaissance 1.5 project was based on the observation that in traditional product development, several iterations are needed to obtain a compromise between engineering, manufacturing constraints and aesthetics. The rapid advances in optimisation methods and in knowledge-based engineering (KBE) make it possible to integrate engineering and manufacturing constraints in a computer-based industrial

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inledning och hypotes Urininkontinens är ett vanligt förekommande tillstånd som förorsakar sänkt livskvalitet hos individen och dessutom stora kostnader för samhället. Förekomsten i befolkningen beror på hur snävt man definierar begreppet och är följaktligen mycket skiftande i olika undersökningar. Urininkontinens är ett symptom på en sjukdom eller ett tillstånd, inte eUrinary incontinence classification is based on symptomatology, presuming that each symptom originates in a separate pathophysiology and demands its unique therapy. Women often present a mixture of symptoms inconsistent with urodynamic diagnosis, especially regarding urgency. Treatment of stress incontinence often relieves urge symptoms indicating a common pathophysiology. Our aims were to investi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste decennierna har det pågått en intensiv kamp om dramapedagogikens innehåll. Den har i betydande utsträckning förts på nordiskt plan. Dramaläraren och lärarutbildaren Viveka Rasmusson visar att denna debatt om dramaämnet och dess utveckling med fördel kan studeras i den nordiska tidskriften Drama. Under större delen av sjuttiotalet var Drama ett gemensamtBased on the Nordic dramapedagogic journal Drama during the period 1965-1995 the thesis analyses Nordic dramapedagogy and the dramatheoretical debate of the subject drama, which entered Nordic school curriculums in the sixties and the seventies. During the period a struggle was fought by predecessors from different aestethic and pedagogical directions concerning the definition of the subject. The

The objective of this study was to evaluate how Swedish parents regard their children’s participation in meals. Taped interviews with 62 parents, responsible for meals at home, were transcribed and evaluated. This article is restricted to the 21 middle-class families in the group. Through analysis of the interviews, we evaluated how middle-class parents set out to mediate a certain approach to foo

The purpose of this thesis is to study conceptions of mental illness in Sweden during the second half of the 19th century. The central aim has been to analyze how mental illness was understood and interpreted in what was a continual interaction between medical professionals and lay people. The relationship between the local community and the asylum influenced the admittance and discharge of patien

Knowledge-management has a long history in the work place enacted variously as apprenticeship, corporate libraries, and professional training programs. As an academic topic, it first appeared after Nonaka's (1991) paper. Western authors on knowledge-management generally treat "knowledge" and "information" as some kind of a commodity. "Knowledge" and "information" are thought to be acquired and tra

This paper introduces means for fatigue damage rates estimation using Laplace distributed multiaxial loads. The model is suitable for description of stresses containing transients of random amplitudes and locations. Explicit formulas for computing the expected value of rainflow damage index as a function of excess kurtosis are given for correlated loads. A Laplace model is used to describe variabi

Abstract in UndeterminedCombining sludge hydrolysis with predenitrification is a promising method to remove nitrogen and decreased use of external carbon content in wastewater. The Klagshamn wastewater treatment plant plans to alter the primary settler into an in-line hydrolysis basin with subsequent predenitrification to reduce the nitrate load into the overstrained moving-bed biofilm reactor.
