Aerosolsammansättningen i ett renluftsområde i Mellansverige (Velen) har studerats under en årscykel. Aerosolpartiklarna har uppdelats efter aerodynamisk storlek i 7 fraktioner. Varje fraktion från 113 provtagningstillfällen har analyserats m a p svavel och tungmetaller m h a partikelinducerad röntgenstrålning s k PIXE-analys. Resultaten påvisar variationer i ämneskoncentrationer mellan enskilda m

Lao PDR has shown a strong record of economic growth and poverty alleviation since the early 1990s. Yet, the pace of economic development has varied significantly between different parts of the country - the rate of growth was initially faster in more developed areas, but after the mid-1990s growth has been stronger in poorer rural areas. Here it is shown that this pattern of regional development

Ioannes Dantiscus' letters are a source of singular importance for 16th century European history. Dantiscus was a great traveller who got first-hand information from most parts of Europe, and his correspondence conveys to us today a vivid and varied picture of Early Modern Europe. The list of his correspondents is a name-dropper's dream: Copernicus, Philip Melanchton and Hernan Cortez, to mention

The fluid dynamics of insect wings and the fins and tails of fish are governed by vortex wake interactions, which are strongly related to the wing, fins and tail kinematics. By modeling the kinematics of these wings, fins and tails as a two-dimensionally flapping foil, the influence of the kinematics on the vortex wake interactions is studied. This is done by varying the non-dimensional advance ra

Two-phase flows are commonly found incomponents in energy systems such as evaporators and boilers. Theperformance of these components depends among others on thecontroller. Transient models describing the evaporation process areimportant tools for determining control parameters, and fast loworder models are needed for this purpose. This article describes ageneral moving boundary (MB) model for mod

This article investigates the historical development and transformation of Swedish integration policy, including its predecessor immigrant policy, as a “biopolitics of the population”. “Biopolitics of the population” refers in this article to all governmental interventions targeting the population, or parts of it, with a view to producing a collective body of a particular quality and identity. Swe

The article analyzes the Swedish director Mikael Marcimain's two most recent TV-series, "Lasermannen" and "Upp till Kamp", with an emphasis on the ways in which these two historical works use and relate to the archival material of Swedish Public Service Television.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Infektionssjukdomar är lika vanliga hos fiskar som hos alla andra djur. Dessa infektioner kan orsakas av virus, bakterier samt eukaryota organismer som svamp och protozoer. I naturliga fiskpopulationer utgör detta ett litet problem men får stora ekonomiska konsekvenser i fiskodlingar eftersom ett stort antal fiskar kan infekteras på kort tid och i värsta fall dö, ca 10 Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is a Birnavirus that infects salmonid fish. The infection is usually mortal for fish under six months of age, while older fish become carriers, usually without any signs of infection, and will spread the virus to other susceptible fish and to their offspring. IPNV is an icosahedral, naked virion and the genome consists of two segments of double-stranded

A recapitulation of the history of the the great library of the Bohemian statesman Peter Wok Rosenberg, which after his death entered the Emporor’s treasures in Prague, but was captured by the Swedish Army at the end of the Thirty Years War and brought to Stockholm, where parts still reside in the Royal Library. Its white bindings are a prominent feature of the Rosenberg collection.

Popular Abstract in Swedish BAKGRUND Bukspottkörteln, pankreas, är ett organ med två huvudfunktioner. Dels bildar körteln ett flertal hormoner som framförallt styr sockeromsättningen och dels bildar pankreas ett bikarbonatrikt sekret som neutraliserar den sura magsaften i tolvfingertarmen och som innehåller förstadier (proenzym) till ett flertal enzym verksamma vid nedbrytning av födans beståndsdePancreatic enzymes, neutrophils, free radicals and cytokines are involved in the pathophysiology of AP. Clarification of their interaction and time-course will improve our understanding of AP and provide a better basis for treatment. 20% will develop severe AP and benefit from improved treatment why an accurate test for prediction of severity is needed. Aims: To investigate the interactions betwee

Liberalismen är en mångfacetterad politisk riktning som har varit så framgångsrik att den nästan förlorat sin ideologiska skärpa. Vi är alla goda liberaler numera och tror på medborgerliga friheter och individens självbestämmande. Men hur ser liberalismen som ett distinkt politiskt alternativ egentligen ut? I den här boken vaskas de liberala kärnåtagandena fram, de värden som man måste skriva unde

Policies based upon Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) aim to reduce the environmental impacts of products by inducing design changes, by way of an extension of producer’s responsibility. Since the early 1990s, a number of countries have EPR-based policies related to end-of-life management of selected product groups. The incorporation of incentive mechanisms for design change in an EPR program

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is developed for rechargeable non-aqueous electrolyte lithium-air batteries with a partial opening for oxygen supply to the cathode. Multi-phase transport phenomena occurred in the battery are considered, including dissolved lithium ions and oxygen gas in the liquid electrolyte, solid-phase electron transfer in the porous functional materials and liquid-p
