The article is an introductory text of a conference volume, dedicated to the role of the Holocaust in post-War European historical discourse.

Current human-induced climate variability is linked to past economic patterns that are responsible for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions. If climate change is to be effectively addressed, solutions thereof will necessarily affect global economy. International trade has become one of the pillars of the global economic system. In this light an overlap of climate change policies and the multil

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärt-kärlsjukdomar är en ledande orsak av sjuklighet och dödlighet. Med hjälp av dagens moderna ultraljudsteknik är det möjligt att påvisa även begynnande, mycket diskreta kärlförändringar. En tidig upptäckt av dessa kan bli av betydelse för individens framtida hälsa. I ett antal studier har vi med hjälp av ultraljud undersökt kärlens styvhet och förmåga att vidgas (enCardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Early recognition of vascular changes, both structural and functional, may help to identify individuals at risk for CVD. Using modern ultrasound techniques – the echo-tracking technique for assessment of stiffness in large arteries and flow-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery as an indicator of endothelial

Popular Abstract in Swedish På de allra flesta arbetsplatser utsätts arbetstagarna för risker, och de kemiska hälsoriskerna utgör en omfattande del av dessa. Till exempel är det många som får astma orsakad av exponeringar i arbetsmiljön. En vanlig orsak till yrkesrelaterade luftvägsbesvär är exponering för isocyanater. Isocyanater är små reaktiva (instabila) ämnen som används i polymerindustrin föExposure to isocyanates may induce disorders in the airways of workers. Therefore, application, development and validation of methods for exposure assessment is of great importance. In the present study, we have determined the personal air and biomarker levels of isocyanates for a group of occupationally exposed workers (n=170) in different types of industrial processes. Also, the biomarker levels

Syftet med denna rapport och vägledning är att beskriva ett arbetssätt, Områdesbaserad risk- och sårbarhetsanalys (ORSA), för kommuner och andra aktörer som vill använda geografisk information och analys som stöd och utveckling av sitt RSA-arbete.

Erythrocytes (red blood cells) are known to produce large amounts of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). It has recently become clear that the ATP-release is part of a mechanism controlling the dilation of the body’s blood vessels. The study of the erythrocyte’s behaviour is complicated by the fact that they respond easily to any physical contact. In this paper we propose a new method for studying the d

EPR studies suggest that most transition atom impurities in silicon occupy the tetrahedral interstitial (Ti) site, preserving the Td symmetry of the host (1). The authors give, within the local-density approximation, a unified description of the electronic structure and `breathing-mode' relaxation of tetrahedral interstitial Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni impurities in bulk silicon.(7 refs)

The article investigates the notion of 'Christian Europe' by tracing some of its ideological roots. In particular, it engages with the Romantic era of German philosophy. If the idea of Europe from its very earliest stage was closely linked to Christianity, this gesture also became an important element in the attempts of a number of Romantic poets and philosophers to seek the foundations for a new

(2 uppl.) The biblical figures have stimulated the creative imagination of a wide variety of writers and composers during the past two millennia. This study surveys the reception history in poetry, novels, art and music of a number of biblical figures, e.g. Cain, Abel, Abraham, Isaac, Miriam, the poor widow (Mark 12:41-44), Peter, Judas and Barabbas. The book discusses the interpretations of the
