This thesis is based upon four original papers describing the characterisation of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) tumours and cell lines in comparison with different populations of normal B cells. Gene expression profiling, which were used in the studies, has during recent years developed as an important tool in characterisation of different types of malignancies. In this thesis, the technique is used

The ATLAS experiment is one of the four experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is supposed to be operational in early 2007. Proton-proton collisions at an unprecedented center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV will probe new frontiers of the universe, hopefully providing a better understanding of the laws governing our universe. Although the ATLAS detector has been optimized to search for th

Summary form only given. Ballistic devices have received increasing attention for their nonlinear electrical properties, which are interesting from both physics and application points of view. Recently, novel nonlinear electrical properties of three-terminal ballistic junctions (TBJs) have been discovered theoretically and experimentally. In this work we propose and demonstrate functionality of a

Antologin Maktens (o)lika förklädnader tar upp det problematiska förhållandet mellan feminism, eurocentrism och klass från varierande infallsvinklar. Antologin kan läsas som en postkolonialt inspirerad lägesrapport om Sverige i början av det nya millenniet. Även om rasism är och har varit en marginaliserad fråga inom den svenska feministiska forskningen, visar flera texter i denna antologi att ras

The paper presents a study of the dynamics of non-stationary shock wave and its interaction with the boundary layer in a transonic flow inside a channel with a bump. The turbulent flow is handled using Large Eddy Simulations (LES). The computations are done with the recently developed multidimensional upwind scheme and with two other commercial codes. The aim is to improve the understanding of the

We are constantly reminded of the problem of evil. There are a number of models to cope with theodicy, but the problem with most of them is that, in different ways, they tend to legitimate evil and accuse the victims. In this article it is suggested that theodicy may serve as a hermeneutical key when reading often marginalised or misunderstood text belonging to the Jewish and Christian traditions.

A current aim in research on moral cognition is the development of computational models of moral choices and judgements. We fit diffusion models with and without dependence on visual fixations to data on binary moral choices. We find that a fixation dependent model provides a better fit and can capture many features of the empirical data. We discuss the implications for understanding moral cogniti

Wastewater treatment is a worldwide necessity that is even more crucial to countries deprived from abundant fresh water sources or unable to afford advanced and costly processes. With this perspective, this thesis was conducted within an Egyptian-Swedish research collaboration that aimed to develop solar-based (as free renewable energy source available locally) process for hazardous wastewater tre

The present work involves a microcalorimetric characterization of the interactions among macrocyclic compounds and aliphatic molecules in aqueous solution. The macrocyclic compounds used in the study are a-,b- and g-cyclodextrin and 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene-5,11,17,23- tetrasulphonate. The results include enthalpies, entropies, standard Gibb's energies and heat capacities of the inter

A reading of the plays by Swedish writer Per Svenson

A reprint, with an added postscript of 2007, of a seminal lecture given in 1998 on the importance to observe changing graphic codes in the printing history of texts, especially in editorial practice. See further its first publication.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen syftar till att bidra till förståelsen av hur det kan komma sig att kristendomen i början av det andra århundradet utvecklas till en icke-judisk religion. Att de judendom och kristendom idag uppfattas som två olika religioner är inte så märkligt. Dock, om man betänker att kristendomen ursprungligen var en del av det första århundradets judendom så är det egThis book attempts to answer the question of how it is possible that Christianity in the beginning of the second century C.E. had developed into a non-Jewish, Gentile religion. Since Christianity was originally one of many Jewish factions within the diversified Judaism of the period, and one that even primarily seems to have directed its attention to the people of Israel, the problem of its separa
