Att lära sig ett främmande språk som grekiska är varken svårare eller lättare än att lära sig andra språk, men det tar tid och innebär en hel del arbete. Denna grundläggande lärobok i nytestamentlig grekiska innehåller allt det du behöver för att kunna börja läsa Nya testamentet på dess grundspråk. Nytestamentlig grekiska inleds med en presentation av det grekiska alfabetet, dess tecken och uttal

A recurrent issue and to a considerable extent also a major obstacle in contemporary theology of religions are various claims of "uniqueness". This article critically considers one particular aspect, i.e., the quest of the unique Jesus in New Testament scholarship and its implications for global interreligious dialogue. It is argued that the quest of the unique Jesus be abandoned since it is neith

An analysis of Swedish film, radio and television during the 20th century.

Objective: Serine protease inhibitors (serpins), the acute phase reactants and regulators of the proteolytic processing of proteins, have been recognized as potential contributors to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD). We measured plasma and CSF levels of serpins in controls and patients with dementia. Methods: Using rocket immunoelectrophoresis, ELISA, and Luminex xMAP technology, we anal

According to Jon Elster, mechanisms are frequently occurring and easily recognizable causal patterns that are triggered under generally unknown conditions or with indeterminate consequences. In the absence of laws, moreover, mechanisms provide explanations. In this paper I argue that Elster’s view has difficulties with progressing knowledge. Normally, filling in the causal picture without revising

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett av dagens stora miljöproblem är de höga halter av koldioxid som ackumuleras i atmosfären. En stor del av samhällets koldioxidutsläpp kommer från förbränning av fossila bränslen som kol, olja eller bensin. Ett av de mest lovande alternativa bränslen som kan ersätta dagens stora bensinförbrukning är bioetanol. Cellulosainnehållande restprodukter från skogsbruk (t.ex. Ethanol produced from cellulose is a promising future alternative fuel. The production process has three main steps: (i) pretreatment of raw material to increase degradability; (ii) enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to produce glucose; (iii) fermentation of glucose into bioethanol. This thesis contains studies with the aim to improve the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose from steam pretreated spru

Gifts have been given and received in all eras and societies; gifts are part of a universal human exchange. The importance of creating and sustaining social bonds with the help of gifts is widely acknowledged by social scientists, not only from anthropological but also from economic, sociological, and political science perspectives. Contemporary anti-corruption campaigns, however, have gifts to be

A heavy-duty diesel engine operating case producing no engine-out smoke was studied using combined simultaneous optical diagnostics. The case was close to a typical low-load modern diesel operating point without EGR. Parallels were drawn to the conceptual model by Dec and results from high-pressure combustion vessels. Optical results revealed that no soot was present in the upstream part of the je

The aim of this study was to find sorption filters with a capacity to remove heavy metals from landfill leachate. Initially a batch test was performed with granular activated carbon, CAP meal derived from animal bones, iron fines, a non-metallic part of bottom ash from a municipal solid waste incineration plant, metal residues from the same bottom ash, lime stone and peat. Activated carbon, CAP me

The hunter-gatherer groups of Southeast Asia represent a diverse range of adaptations. The so-called Negritos of the Andaman Islands, the Malay Peninsula and the Philippines have attracted particular attention because of long-standing claims that they represent traces of pre-agricultural Southeast Asia. Research on Andaman and Philippine prehistory has tended to maintain at least some components o

This thesis investigates structure-acoustic problems, which involve a flexible structure coupled to an enclosed acoustic fluid. In the literature, this type of problem is usually referred to as vibroacoustic problems or structure-acoustic problems with fluid interaction. The thesis consists of two parts. The first part provides an introduction into the field of structure-acoustic analysis withi

Within the Eriksonian identity tradition, exploration of different life domains is crucial to identity formation. This is a process supposed to start during adolescence and develop in a social context. Most of the adopted children in Sweden, now in adolescence, are adopted from countries outside of Europe, which means that they neither share their biological nor ethnical roots with their adoptive
