Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar det grekiska landskapet Argolis på östra Peloponnesos och vissa aspekter av livet där under drygt 600 år av romersk överhöghet. I området har man från den tiden funnit lämningar av städer, byar, villor och gårdar så väl som speciella anläggningar för framställning av olivolja, vin och keramik, dessutom badanläggningar, akvedukter, stenbrott, hamnaThis study focuses on the region of Argolid in the eastern part of the Greek Peloponnese during the Roman Imperial era, taking up a variety of aspects of life there based mainly on archaeological evidence. The introduction presents the study area and the background to the study. This is followed in the next chapter by a survey of the various kinds of sites of Roman date found in the Argolid. Citie

Theory of elasticity is the most used assumption in pavement design. Highway materials are neither elastic nor homogenous. Therefore there is a need for models which are based on more realistic assumptions. UGM shows time dependency in nature. This is reflected in a viscous response close to the surface and an elastic response deeper down the construction. Time dependencies of soils are relatively

The aim of this study has been to identify, explain and delineate praying among peasant communities in the ecclesiastical province of Uppsala, Sweden. Four aspects have been examined through the perspectives of ideals and practices, namely the standards of prayer, devotional prayer, prayer in times of need and prayer cultures. The standards of prayer considered the physical and mental behaviour of

The enzyme dUTPase catalyzes the hydrolysis of dUTP to dUMP and pyrophosphate, thereby preventing a deleterious incorporation of uracil into DNA. The best known dUTPase is that from Escherichia coli, which, like the human enzyme, consists of three identical subunits. In the present work, the catalytic properties of the E. coli dUTPase were investigated in the pH range 5-11. The enzyme was found to

För närvarande finns en stark trend med forskningsmiljöer där flera ämnen samverkar och där forskare inom flera fält samarbetar, exempelvis geriatrik, psykologi, psykiatri, arbetsterapi och hälsoekonomi. Forskare i tvärvetenskapen blir ofta eftersatta och hittar inte alltid det stöd de behöver i det kursutbud som erbjuds idag inom ramen för informationshantering. Lunds universitets bibliotek är en

The purpose of the thesis is to increase understanding of the impact of financial institutions on regional growth. It helps to develop established concepts and perceptions on the impact of financial institutions on economic development in less well-functioning regions. Agglomeration theory is based on a general assumption of a reduced likelihood of economic cooperation through increased geographi

In robotic operations where a manipulator is involved, it is well-known that the quantities measured by a wrist force/torque sensor are corrupted by the dynamicsof the end effector and manipulator. To solve this problem,an observer, which fuses information from force sensors andaccelerometers, was designed recently in order to estimate the contact force exerted by a manipulator to its environment

Sammanfattning av projektets resultatInom projektet har vi studerat effekter av ekonomiska styrmedel för att nå en mer hållbar konsumtion från ett miljö- och hälsoperspektiv. Mer specifikt har vi studerat hur konsumenter ändrar sitt konsumtionsbeteende till följd av att vi ger dem information eller inför skatter och subventioner på olika varor. Vi har även studerat i vilken utsträckning konsumente

There is a documented gap between academic and practitioner views on software testing. This paper tries to close the gap by investigating both views regarding the benefits and limits of test automation. The academic views are studied with a systematic literature review while the practitioners views are assessed with a survey, where we received responses from 115 software professionals. The results
