Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett högt fiberintag från grönsaker, frukt och sädesslag som havre och korn minskar risken för hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar och typ 2 diabetes. Havre och korn har en hög halt av lösliga kostfiber, så kallade beta-glukaner (beta-glukaner) och studier har visat att beta-glukaner har intressanta hälsoeffekter. Ett dagligt intag av beta-glukaner från havre eller korn kan sänka kSince soluble fibre in the form of the cereal beta-glucans found in oats and barley has been shown to have a positive effect on lipid and glucose metabolism, people at risk of developing cardiovascular diseases or diabetes might benefit from that a variety of palatable food products containing beta-glucans being available to them. The aim of the papers presented in the thesis was to evaluate the m

A study of the detection limits for the elements with Z = 15-92 in thick target steel surfaces using proton-induced X-ray technique has been performed. Samples were irradiated with a broad proton beam of 2 mm diameter and the X-rays were detected by a Si(Li) detector. Detection limits at levels down to the order of 10 ppm were achieved with simultaneous measurement of several elements. Mylar and

Objective This study provides the summary of current knowledge about migrant work in agriculture available from journal articles, books, reports and other relevant academic publications, focusing on political, economic, legal, social and medical aspects of migrant work in agriculture. Methods A systematic search was carried out on the LibHub and Google Scholar databases in order to compile the e

Popular Abstract in Swedish Intensifieringen av jordbruket sedan 1950-talet har lett till en ökad matproduktion men också orsakat miljöproblem så som förlust av biologisk mångfald, jorderosion, övergödning, ökade utsläpp av växthusgaser samt föroreningar av bekämpningsmedel. Det är därför nödvändigt att utveckla ett mer hållbart jordbruk samtidigt som vi upprätthåller den globala matförsörjningen Agricultural intensification has raised the global food production but also caused major concerns about environmental and health effects, including contamination by pesticides. Pesticide applications may induce toxicity not only on the target pest species but especially on non-target species. Hence we need to replace pesticides with management that promote organisms that suppress pest population.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Närmare 30.000 svenskar drabbas årligen av stroke (slaganfall). I ungefär 85 % av fallen är orsaken en blodpropp i ett av hjärnans kärl s.k. hjärninfarkt. En avstängning av blodflödet orsakar en snabbt insättande förlust av funktionen i det drabbade området, t.ex. halvsidig förlamning, bortfall av delar av synfältet liksom störning av olika högre hjärnfunktioner såsom mAbstract Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the western world, and the number one cause of disability. 85% of all strokes are ischemic. Most stroke survivors will experience recovery of function. The mechanisms behind this improvement are partly unknown, but may involve elements of both compensation and restoration. Exposure to an enriched environment (EE) that stimulates social interac

This book presents an economic analysis of the causes and consequences of institutional change in ancient Athens. Focusing on the period 800-300 BCE, it looks in particular at the development of political institutions and taxation, including a new look at the activities of individuals like Solon, Kleisthenes and Perikles and on the changes in political rules and taxation after the Peloponnesian Wa

This paper deals with the construction and orbital stabilization of periodic solutions for a particular underactuated mechanical system with 2 degrees of freedom, the Furuta pendulum. It is shown that if a desired periodic motion is described by constraints imposed on the total energy of the system and on the value of the directly actuated variable, then this periodic motion can be constructed and

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med avhandlingen var att undersöka om och hur lek påverkar arbetsplatsens kreativitet. Forskning har visat att leken är viktig för barns kreativitet, men leken kan också gynna vuxnas kreativitet. En vanlig definition av kreativitet är att den innebär skapandet av något som är både nytt och nyttigt. När lek definieras beskrivs den som ett mentalt tillstånd eller eThis thesis investigates how play may benefit creativity in organizational contexts. Play and playfulness have previously been linked to creativity in children and adults, but empirical organizational research is scarce. A widely accepted definition of creativity is that it involves the production of something that is both novel and appropriate. Play is defined as a behavioral approach that is cha
