Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen, vars kontext är staden Jönköping – känd som Smålands Jerusalem – och dess omnejd, vill besvara frågan: Hur utformades och användes berättelsen om missionen i Kina för att åstadkomma och upprätthålla missionsvänskapets hängivenhet? Det var vid skiftet mellan 1880- och 1890-talen, under växande arbetslöshet, bostadsnöd och fattigdom, med konfrontatioThis thesis intends to answer the question: How was the narrative of the mission in China formulated and used to engender and sustain the fervour of the friends of the mission in the 1890s? It was at this time, with growing unemployment, lack of housing, and of poverty – a time when new and challenging ideas emerge – that the interest in the missions to China awoke. The context of the missionary n

Att resa i spåren av litterära verk är ingen ny företeelse. Inte heller är den helt lätt att definiera; det går sällan att tydligt avgränsa vad som inspirerat till resan – är det boken, filmatiseringen, en intressant författare eller uppmärksamheten kring någon av dessa? Man kan vandra i Cornwall på jakt efter Daphne du Mauriers inspirationskällor, lösa mordgåtor med Agatha Christie, åka buss geno

Peripheral areas with declining traditional industries often see tourism as a solution for multiple macroeconomic problems. In these regions particularly small and medium-sized enterprises constitute the backbone of the tourism product, and thus are regarded as key players in economic restructuration and rejuvenation (Cooper and Buhalis 1992). At the same time, non-price factors have come into foc

Nanowire technology allows a bottom-up approach towards fabricating extremely small devices with negligible surface damage and with very high materials quality. The control of position, dimensions and formation of abrupt heterostructures will be described and examples of electronic and photonic devices can be created by this approach

The Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) is developing predictive numerical models for simulating the waves, currents, sediment transport, and morphology change at and around coastal inlets. Water motion at a coastal inlet is a combination of quasi-steady currents such as river flow, tidal current, wind-generated current, and seiching, and of oscillatory flows generated by surface waves. Waves c

Den här delrapporten utgår från empirisk data som samlats in inom ramen för det rättssociologiska forskningsprojektet Kränkningar i en digital kontext som finansieras av Brottsofferfonden. Bearbetningen har genomförts av Måns Svensson (projektansvarig) och Karl Dahlstrand, båda verksamma vid Rättssociologiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet.

This paper presents a method for visualizing the scoping process in platform-based development of embedded systems. The proposed visualization shows the decision process of including or excluding features that are candidates for the next release. The presented visualization charts are evaluated in a large-size embedded system platform project. The evaluation indicates that the visualization of fea

Carotenoids are one of the most widespread and important group of pigments in Nature and they can act as light-harvesting agents, photoprotectors and antioxidants. Mechanisms of their multiple functions are not fully understood mainly because their complicated photophysics involving ?dark? excited states. The central theme of this thesis is characterization of the lowest dark S1 state of carotenoi

As an ambition to stress the construction of an external and an internal dimension within law I have chosen to study the non-pecuniary damages to victims of crime. The foundation for these damages came from the deep structure of law about the idea that the right to integrity of the human body and soul are one of the corner- stones in the state governed by law. But when it comes to estimating the a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Autoimmuna sjukdomar är tillstånd där vårt immunförsvar angriper den egna kroppen. Det finns ett flertal sådana sjukdomar av vilka jag huvud-sakligen har intresserat mig för rheumatoid artrit (RA) och multipel skleros (MS). De behandlingar som finns för de drabbade är idag främst riktade mot ergonomi, smärtlindring och olika former av immunsupres-sion (tex TNFa antikropThe causes of autoimmune diseases are largely unknown today, but there is evidence supporting a substantial complex genetic influence on many of these diseases as well as environmental factors and chance. In this thesis I have tried to get one step closer to the genetic causes of two autoimmune diseases through their induced counterparts in mice, namely rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple scler
