Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar om byggnadsarkeologiska sätt att närma sig historiska byggnader. Syftet är att visa hur byggnadsarkeologin kan förnyas och utvecklas. Motivet är min uppfattning att byggnadsarkeologin inte till fullo utnyttjar de stående byggnadernas potential som historiska källor, vilket framför allt beror på ett traditionsbundet synsätt, som innebär att man nThis dissertation is about the way buildings archaeology approaches historical buildings. The aim is to show how buildings archaeology can be renewed and developed. The motivation is my belief that buildings archaeology does not fully utilize the potential of standing buildings as historical sources, which is mainly due to the traditional outlook on buildings as two-dimensional objects. When three

Much attention is nowadays devoted to waste management. The objective of this work is to show how commonly known business economic models and methods, as well as the Polluter- Pays Principle, can be applied to waste management in general and to waste fractionation in particular, so as to facilitate environmental optimisation of industrial and construction waste fractionation. In discussing the fun

The history of modern maritime safety legislation at the international level is relatively young. Its beginnings are generally associated with the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, a tragedy that resulted in the adoption by an international conference of the first of what was to become a series of versions (1914, 1929, 1948, 1960, 1974) of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (

It is shown that clock frequencies in excess of 200 MHz are feasible in a 3-μm CMOS process. This performance can be obtained by means of clocking strategy, device sizing, and logic style selection. A precharge technique with a true single-phase clock, which increases the clock frequency and reduces the skew problems, is used. Device sizing with the help of an optimizing program improves circuit s

The majority of acute coronary syndromes are caused by plaque ruptures. Proteases secreted by macrophages play an important role in plaque ruptures by degrading extracellular matrix proteins in the fibrous cap. Matrix metalloproteinases have been shown to be markers for cardiovascular disease whereas the members of the cathepsin protease family are less studied.

There is a thin line between life and death. In the medical domain, risk management can be an instrument that helps the development organisations to develop safer medical devices. A medical device that fails can bring harm to both patients and medical staff. The medical device domain is a complex field where there are several characteristics contributing to the complexity. Many of the functions pe

Summary: The maturation of B-lymphoid cells from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow is a complex process under control of interplay between extrinsic and intrinsic factors. In addition to serving as a model for normal cell differentiation, disturbances in this process results in immunodeficiencies and malignancies, such as leukemia and lymphoma, making the subject of high relevance for mo

OBJECTIVE: To test whether a previously hypertension-linked 23 cM region on chromosome 2 is linked to the metabolic syndrome (MetS) or its individual components, and whether a common I/D polymorphism of the adrenergic receptor 2b (ADRA2B) gene, mapping in that region, is associated with the same traits. METHODS: We conducted fine mapping of the hypertension-linked region on chromosome 2 spanning b
