This chapter examines the role of economic factors in first marriage in seven locations in pre-industrial Europe and Asia using a two-generation theory, which also takes socioeconomic class into account. In these settings, the household provided a major welfare function for its members. Access to land was of considerable importance, but so was the prevalent family system – whether a married couple

Creating an Interactive Learning Environment: Experience of using a Student Response System

The purpose of this paper is to briefly discuss the rationale for using Student Response Systems (SRS) and to share our experience of using this teaching technology in a training session. Our experiences support existing pedagogical research and show that SRS can be used to transform traditionally passive lecture-based classes into stimulating, active learning environments. Students demonstrate be

Regulation of spontaneous tone in guinea pig trachea

Popular Abstract in Swedish Astma är en folksjukdom, och i Sverige är 5 % av vuxna, och 10 % av barnen drabbade. Varje år dör flera hundra astmatiker av akuta anfall i Sverige, vilket visar att den befintliga medicineringen i många fall är otillräcklig. I denna avhandling har en grundvetenskaplig undersökning av ett fenomen, som kallas för spontantonus, genomförts. Spontantonus innebär att luftvägAsthma is a common disease, characterized by periods of bronchoconstriction of unclear origin. This thesis examines a specific behavior of airway smooth muscle, the so-called spontaneous airway tone. It was suspected that a defect regulation of this tone may be a cause of asthmatic bronchoconstriction. The experiments shows that tracheal preparations can display two types of spontaneous tone. In t
