Popular Abstract in Swedish De senaste åren har jag ägnat åt att undersöka en speciell typ av gelbildare: kappa-carrageenan. Kappa-carrageenan kan användas för att göra gelé men används också i annan mat t.ex. efterrätter och glass, för att ge konsistens. När man vill göra en gel av kappa-carrageenan blandar man ut lite pulver i vatten och kokar sedan upp det hela. När blandningen kyls av kommer dThe phase behaviour and gelation of the anionic polysaccharide kappa-carrageenan (KC) in different salt solutions was studied. The specific site binding of certain anions and certain cations to the KC helix was used as a means of controlling the interactions. In the presence of a binding anion (I-) the charge density of the helix increases and the aggregation of helices, and thereby the gelation,

Abstract in UndeterminedDifferential in-gel electrophoresis (DIGE) experiments allow three protein samples to be run per gel. The three samples are labeled with the spectrally resolvable fluorescent dyes, Cy2, Cy3, and Cy5, respectively. Here, we show that protein-specific dye effects exist, and we present a linear mixed model for analysis of DIGE data which takes dye effects into account. A Java

It proceeds from the basis of an occupational perspective on family life, using an occupational lens to understand how, when and where individuals spend their time. In recent decades, lifestyles have changed worldwide and the transition into an increasingly sedentary lifestyles is a major health concern, the origins whi

This paper quantitatively analyzes the importance of taste versus health in food demand, as well as the effect on consumers’ experienced taste of the non-intrinsic value of healthy labels. Our analysis is based on taste experiments and Vickrey second price auctions on potato chips and bread. Our findings imply a large positive effect on demand for potato chips from higher taste scores: when consum

Growing US-Israeli tension over continued East Jerusalem settlement construction – which the White House appears unable to stop – underscores a deeper reality: The two-state solution is no longer possible. What are the alternatives? For the past few years, the idea of a “parallel states” structure has been discussed, suggesting a scenario with a two-states structure on the same land, both states c

Popular Abstract in Swedish I allt större grad har effektivitetsbegreppet kommit i fokus i samhällsomvandlingen. I huvudsak utgår vi från att effektivitet i första hand är liktydigt med ekonomisk effektivitet. Existensen av en slags övergripande, ekonomisk "rationalitet", tas för given och har närmast karaktären av naturlag eller central, samhällelig grundbult. Under det senaste decenniet har omfaThe study takes as its starting point the far-reaching organizational changes that have occurred within the public sector in Sweden, particularly the public health care sector, during the last decade. The aim of achieving efficacy has been an important driving force in these processes, which often concern mergers or reductions in personnel that are regarded as a route to success. Paradoxically, Sw

Abstract Interaction Design and Marketing are two disciplines originating from two different sources and studied at different departments. Yet when looking deeper into the two disciplines to my surprise and to the fact that these two disciplines have not previously been addressed in this way, it reveals that they are very similar, and in many aspects equivalent. This study compares Interaction Des

An overview of the ecclesiastical buildings in the period of queen Margrethe I in Scandinavia.

Earth’s primary production depends to a considerable extent on the mycorrhizal symbiosis, since mycorrhizal fungi supply their host plant with important mineral nutrients. I examined the influence of different nutrient regimes on the fungal partner in the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis. I especially focused on salinity problems, as they occur in southern Tunisia, where I performed several field

Traffic measurements in broadband access networks are crucial from several points of view. A better understanding of traffic patterns can lead to more efficient network design, which leads to energy and cost savings for the operator and improved end user services. This paper reports on selected traffic measurement results from the Celtic TRAMMS project. The measurements were performed in broadband
