Popular Abstract in Swedish Vad får buddhister i dagens moderniserade Thailand att ge stora delar av sin inkomst till munkar? Och varför är det så viktigt att munkarna framstår som oegennyttiga och undviker fysisk kontakt med kvinnor? Frågorna behandlas utförligt i denna religionsantropologiska studie, baserad på en längre tids fältarbete i centrala, norra och nordöstra Thailand. Sociala och poliThis dissertation, based on 14 months of fieldwork carried out in central, northern and north-eastern Thailand, focuses on laypeople's demands on contemporary Thai Theravada sangha. In the aftermath of the economic breakdown in 1997, an intense discussion concerning the moral status of the sangha took place. The religious interests and demands clearly differ between different groups. What still se

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodet har en viktig funktion i kroppen. Blodet bildas i den röda benmärgen och består av olika typer av celler med olika specialiserade funktioner, varav många livsnödvändiga. De röda blodkropparna transporterar syre till alla våra kroppsdelar så att våra muskler fungerar och vi orkar gå och springa och så att vår hjärna kan arbeta. De vita blodkropparna hjälper oss atThe t(6;9) translocation is found in a subset of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is associated with a poor prognosis. The translocation results in the formation of the DEK-NUP214 fusion protein containing almost the entire nuclear protein DEK and two thirds of the nucleoporin NUP214. The molecular mechanisms behind the leukemic conversion of cells expressing the fusion protein DEK-N

It is suggested that Proto-Nordic /r/ was velar or uvular and /z/ postdental. It is suggsted that the two pronunciations were preserved in different areas after the phonemic merger: postdental in central Sweden and Norway and velar/uvular in the south of Scandinavia. The idea that the velar /r/ was imported from France int he 17th or 18th century is rejected.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Epidemiologi är den vetenskap som studerar sjukdomars förekomst och spridning och hur detta varierar över tiden, mellan geografiska områden och mellan grupper av individer definierade i olika termer. I Malmö finns det mycket goda möjligheter att göra epidemiologiska studier av slaganfall (stroke). Dels finns ett register som följt strokeinsjuknandet sedan 1989. Dels harThe present thesis explored the epidemiology of stroke in Malmö, Sweden, an urban population of approximately 250000 inhabitants. Incidence of stroke in Malmö has been monitored since 1989. The National census investigation in 1990 was used to get information about the background population in the city. Previous studies of the seasonal and weekday variations in incidence of stroke have shown inco

Versican is a large (1-2 x 10(6) Da) chondroitin-sulfate proteoglycan that can form large aggregates by means of interaction with hyaluronan and also binds to a series of other extracellular matrix proteins, chemokines and cell-surface molecules. Versican is a multifunctional molecule with roles in cell adhesion, matrix assembly, cell migration and proliferation. Characterization of the binding in

Software often constitutes a large share of today's products. To deliver a product with the level of software quality expected by the customer, software development organizations need to manage quality achievement and assessment. In practice, quality is often referred to as the lack of bugs. The research in this thesis is focused on how to improve software quality through effective and efficient

Popular Abstract in Swedish Effekter av jordheterogeneitet på transport av markvatten och material, en metodologisk jämförelse i olika klimat.Spatial variability of soil heterogeneity is important to consider for soil water and solute transport. The results of the present work indicated that spatial heterogeneity affects all investigated soils (soils in Japan, Sweden, Tunisia, and China). Experimental data indicated a high degree of bypass or preferential flow within small plots and non-sigmoid breakthrough curves suggesting tailing phe

PURPOSE: Circular smooth muscle of the urethra generates spontaneous myogenic tone of relevance for the maintenance of continence. We tested if Rho guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) and Rho-associated kinase (ROK) are involved in the generation of urethral tone. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Small circular strips of female pig urethra were dissected out and mounted for recording isometric force. The ef

BACKGROUND: Recent reports have shown that, although rare, findings of mucosal ulcers and perforations of the nasal septum in some cases may be associated with the use of topical nasal glucocorticosteroids (GCS). It can been speculated that, a reduction in septal mucosal blood flow causing ischemia may eventually induce septal perforations. AIM: To evaluate whether a single dose of a potent nasal

The limitations of water mist in acting as a total flooding agent are discussed in this paper. The paper focuses on water mist consisting of droplets 1-100 µm in diameter. Water mists are very efficient as an extinguishing media if they are present in the flame. There are, however, several problems associated with introducing the water mist into the flame: the spray reaches only a short distance;

Popular Abstract in Swedish Villkoren för utbildning och undervisning förändras i väsentliga avseenden i takt med samhällets tilltagande komplexitet. Det är många gånger svårt för både lärare och elever att veta hur man på bästa sätt ska orientera sitt pedagogiska handlande. Med utgångspunkt från tre pedagogiska kontexter - grundskolan, de särskilda ungdomshemmen och grundskollärarutbildningen - pPedagogical practice is, in several important considerations, contradictory in character. In this dissertation attenention is drawn towards the field of tension that prevails between pedagogical action, which can be descibed in terms of strategic processes and communicative pedagogical action. While the former places the preconditions for effective knowledge development of the individual at the ce
