When something is different: respectability and bodily ability in stories about polio In this thesis I study the relationship between people’s stories about polio and norms concerning respectability and ability. The purpose is to examine sense-making processes surrounding polio disease. This is done by studying how the ”normality” and ”deviation” is produced and negotiated in individual stories a

This document describes the field- and driving simulator experiments carried out within Work-package 3.2 (Evaluation of in-car speed limiters). In both the field study and the simulator experiment positive effects of the speed limiter were found in terms of large speed reductions (particularly in urban areas), reduced speed variance and better speed adaptation on critical places (approaches, curve

En översikt över huvudbetydelser hos prep. "till" i svenska och ett försök att systematisera hur dessa betydelser är inbördes relaterade till varandra - och hur de förhåller sig till andra prepositioners betydelser.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Galektin är en proteinfamilj med många funktioner i kroppen, varav en del är kopplade till sjukdomstillstånd, såsom inflammationer samt utvecklandet och fortskridandet av cancer. Galektiners funktion styrs av en kolhydratbindande domän (CRD) som känner igen och binder till galaktos. Vissa galektiner kan hålla ihop olika celler genom att binda till galaktos på cellytor.This thesis describes the design, synthesis and evaluation of synthetic inhibitors for the carbohydrate binding proteins called galectins. Potent and selective inhibitors can be used as important research tools in the endeavor to chart the true role of galectins in biological events such as cancer and inflammation and possibly as lead for future galectin targeting drugs. A panel of O-galactosyl a

Popular Abstract in English Enzymes are nanometer sized work units made up of proteins. Each of the thousands of the existing enzymes are produced by the cells of every living organism. They carry out certain functions as putting molecules together, e. g. connect sugar units to form cellulose for a growing tree or destroy molecules, e. g. degrade cellulose into its sugar units to eat and live on tCellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is a sugar oxidizing enzyme secreted by various species of wood degrading fungi to assist the process of wood degradation. It can oxidise analytically relevant sugars as cellobiose, lactose or glucose leading to a gain of two electrons per sugar molecule. CDH consists of a flavin containing catalytic domain (DH) and a haem containing electron mediating domain (CYT).

Med temat program och praktik vill vi särskilt uppmana forskare att reflektera över vad som sägs och vad som görs inom hälso-, medicin- och sjukdomsrelaterade verksamheter, såväl i nutid som i det förflutna. Med program avses till exempel vårdpolitiska uttalanden och viljeyttringar av olika slag, beskrivningar eller bilder av hur t.ex. vård och omhändertagande bör vara beskaffad, läroböckers besk

The effect of a certain aggressive action is often aggravated if another aggressive action takes place at the same time. Examples of mechanisms with synergy are (i) salt-frost scaling and reinforcement corrosion, (ii) alkali silica reaction (ASR) and internal frost damage, (iii) leaching of lime and internal frost attack, (iv) leaching of lime and reinforcement corrosion, (v) internal frost and le

We study the effects of local vertex corrections to the self energy of the electron gas. We find that a vertex derived from time-dependent density-functional theory can give accurate self energies without including the explicit time dependence of the exchange-correlation potential provided, however, that a proper decay at large momentum transfer (large q) is built into the vertex function. (The lo

The paper examines the metaphysical ideas employed to embed Hellenistic astrology in an Indian religious and cultural context, relating them to questions of causality, determinism and moral freedom. These ideas are contrasted against the largely Thesophical adaptation of the same concepts, which in the 19th and 20th centuries formed the emerging modern astrology in Europe, and which led it to aban
