As man-made structures are made increasingly smaller it becomes possible to conduct measurements on single cells, molecules and eventually atoms. In this thesis prerequisites for making this possible are discussed. The underlying thought is that the structures should be used in biological and organic based applications. The discussion is kept in three domains: fabrication, characterization and app

I boken ges en resonerande framställning av den tyska grammatiken. Utan att ge avkall på vetenskapligheten förklaras lättfattligt olika grammatiska moment och kontrastiva svårigheter. Innehållet och ordförrådet i exemplen knyter i stor utsträckning an till situationer och texter som är relevanta i yrkeslivet. Bokens första hälft behandlar formlära medan den andra behandlar syntax. Framställningen

English title: Expression through action. Mediating tools in choral leaders’ work with children’s choir and youth choir. The role of the choir leader is a complex one. When working with a choir, choir leaders often use several aspects of their professional role. The aim of this qualitative study is to describe, verbalise and make visible the mediating tools that choir directors working with childr

This introductory chapter presents an overview of how the Swedish monarchy has related to and used the media over the centuries. By discussing examples not included in preceeding chapters, the text widens the scope of the book both theoretically and methodically.

Popular Abstract in Swedish I boken behandlas frågor om vilka begränsningar som finns i möjligheten att driva näringsverksamhet i stiftelseform. Diskussionen koncentreras runt stiftelsebegreppet och i vad mån kopplingen mellan ändamål och förmögenhet medger att stiftelsen får driva näringsverksamhet. Undersökningen visar att stiftelserätten och rättsregler i övrigt innehåller mycket få begränsningThis thesis deals with questions concerning restrictions in the possibility of having commercial activities organised within the legal status of a foundation. An enterprise foundation is a foundation that either carries out commercial activities in its own name or is the owner of shares in a commercial enterprise organised outside the foundation. The commercial activity can be the object of the fo

A simulation model is presented, which has been constructed in such a way that the trainee gets control over the context of her actions. Three types of simulated action-event-sequences are presented in an inductive way. The aim is to demonstrate the texture of the simulation process. It is shown that visualised as well as verbalised information has to be processed in a cooperative manner in order

Plug-and-Produce (with the meaning that devices can be plugged in without any manual configurations needed) is an attractive paradigm for manufacturing systems, and in particular for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that do not have the expertise of system integrators but do need to be able to reconfigure their systems by themselves. One approach for loosely (in terms of timing) coupled devices

This paper challenges the assumption that legal sociology should apply itself to the external or factual properties of the law and leave the internal and normative aspects of legal phenomena to doctrinal scholars and moral philosophers. It argues that legal sociology explores the normative contexts of the law and other social systems, but being restricted by its “scientific” mode of expression it

Mesoporous cerium dioxide with high crystallinity has been synthesized and studied by TEM, SEM, nitrogen adsorption, PXRD, AFM, and SAXS. The catalytic properties of the materials have been investigated The results of the catalysis experiments were correlated with high resolution TEM investigations of the corresponding material, and it was found that the exposed crystallographic facets play an imp

Sustainable and safe mobility is crucial for society in general and for the various road users in particular. An important tool in order to achieve traffic safety improvements is the analysis of self-reported data, when no other sources are available. This chapter will present a framework to be considered, when approaching self-reported accidents and injuries. Throughout the text, the concept of p
