Denna studie avser att undersöka den mening som mediciner skapar, och hur de påverkar människors vardagliga erfarenheter och identitetsskapande. Medicineringens relation till kroppsliga tecken och symptom påvisar den spänning som finns i synen på läkemedlet; mediciner som något farligt och riskfyllt men samtidigt med förmåga att förebygga och bota. Mediciners farlighet tycks delvis kunna motverkasThis study aims to explore the meaning that is created when using medicines, and how medicines affect older people’s experiences of everyday life and their identity. The connection between medicines and the body demonstrates the tension that the medications contain; something dangerous and unsafe but with the power to cure and prevent illness. The risks of medications seem to be counteracted throu

The intelligent peripheral (IP) is one of the key central resources in the intelligent network concept, allowing user to network interaction for services such as credit card calling. User access to IPs is controlled by service control points (SCPs) and is typically gained via voice trunk groups from service switching points (SSPs), with many services sharing common SSP-IP trunk group facilities. T

Constant volume combustion is studied, using a zero-dimensional model, which is a wide-ranging chemical kinetic simulation that allows a closed system of gases to be described on the basis of a set of initial conditions. The model provides an engine- or reactor-like environment in which the engine simulations allow for a variable system volume and heat transfer both to and from the system. The com

The xanthophyll cycle is of great importance in relation to light stress. Particularly, interest has been focused on the possible photoprotective role of zeaxanthin. In higher plants under light stress, zeaxanthin is formed from violaxanthin in a reaction catalyzed by violaxanthin de-epoxidase (VDE). The reverse reaction is catalyzed by zeaxanthin epoxidase (ZE) under low light or in darkness. VDE

Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen "Dynamisk dialog: en analytisk och konstruktiv studie av den religiösa kommunikationens problem på grundval av Martin Bubers dialogfilosofi" studerar jag olika aspekter av Bubers modell för hur en människa meningsfullt kan kommunicera sin religiösa upplevelse till och med en annan människa. Min metod har både en begreppsanalytisk och en fenomenologisk sidIn the present work, I study various aspects of Martin Buber's model of how a human being can communicate, in a meaningful way, his or her religious experiences to and with another human being. My method has aspects of both conceptual analysis and phenomenologial description. I focus on the individual partners, their mutual relationships and the religious message. Buber's model is based on the con

3-Substituted indoles and their analogues - hetero condensed pyrroles (hetero-indoles) - have been synthesised by two different palladium-catalysed reactions: a) A series of 2-silylated 3-substituted (hetero-)indoles have been prepared by palladium-catalysed coupling between o-iodo(het)arylamines and silyl substituted internal acetylenes. The outcome of the reaction was found to depend on the typ

Foreign entry mode choices are decisions of paramount importance for the long-term survival and growth of companies that are in a process of rapid international expansion. In this article we seek to understand the foreign market channel strategies of Born Globals. We examine whether these companies develop a similar strategy regarding foreign entry mode choices and if their market channel strategi

In the search for new pharmaceutically active compounds, it is recognized that Nature produces structurally different compounds in a great variety. By having the compounds or extracts tested in defined systems, new drugs or more often leads (a compound that has an interesting but moderate activity) can be found. When a lead is found, structurally similar compounds with modified functional groups a
