The influence of grain boundaries on the mechanical properties of poly-crystalline metals is well known. Here we investigate the influence from a centrally placed grain boundary in nano-sized beams of Cu subjected to tensile loading. The crystallographic orientations in the grains are [100], [110] and [111]. The investigation is performed by means of molecular dynamic simulations employing the molThe influence of grain boundaries on the mechanical properties of poly-crystalline metals is well known.

Objective: Auditory change-detection responses provide information on sound discrimination and memory skills in infants. We examined both the automatic change-detection process and the processing of emotional information content in speech in preterm infants in comparison to full-term infants at term age. Methods: Preterm (n = 21) and full-term infants' (n = 20) event-related potentials (ERP) were

Introduction: Oral contraceptives (OC) have been shown to give a transient increased breast cancer risk. However, studies on breast cancer survival after OC use are sparse and conflicting.Aim: The aim of this study was to examine previous use of OC in relation to survival after breast cancer diagnosis.Methods: Data was collected from Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, with baseline examinations between

A novel technique for studies of the dynamics of molecular coherences has been developed. The concept is based on prompt excitation using broadband femtosecond (fs) laser pulses, whereupon a narrowband nanosecond (ns) laser pulse probes the fast dynamics of the coherences. Detection of the spectrally dispersed coherent signal using a streak camera allows simultaneous spectrally and temporally reso

The amount of short wavelength (ultraviolet (UV), violet and blue) light that reaches the retina depends on the transmittance properties of the ocular media, especially the lens, and varies greatly across species in all vertebrate groups studied previously. We measured the lens transmittance in 32 anuran amphibians with different habits, geographical distributions and phylogenetic positions and us

This article addresses the ways in which contemporary political processes, neoliberal market forces, and identity politics of the twenty-first century have affected the understanding of Swedish heritage. Examining the work being done at the Hallwyl Museum in Stockholm, Sweden and the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis, Minnesota, we aim to illustrate how heritage is staged, performed, and e

The chapter examines the Swedish translation of Harriet Martineau's Illustrations of Political Economy (1832-1834) and Poor Laws and Paupers Illustrated (1833-1834). The focus is on the publication process of two Swedish translations of ‘The Hill and the Valley’ (1832) from Illustrations of Political Economy and on the social context of the translation of ‘The Hamlets’ (1833) and ‘The Town’ (1834)

Internal combustion engines have been the most used engine design when it comes to vehicle propulsion and transportation. But as the number of vehicles increase, new problems arise as well. Engine emissions such as carbon dioxide that has an effect on a global scale and other harmful emissions that affect on a local scale such as soot and nitrogen oxides are on the rise, forcing the countries to t

In this article, we explore the importance of feedback on students’ literature essays and challenges in encouraging active and transformational engagement with such feedback. In addition to standard practice of student-centred peer review coupled with feedback from teachers, our model consists of a scaffolded pair of reflection tasks that students are required to complete. Based on a study of 245 This article explores ways of encouraging student engagement with feedback on literature essays. In addition to standard practice of student-centred peer review coupled with feedback from teachers, we have developed a scaffolded pair of reflection tasks on an introductory-level English literature course. With a focus on our two-step model for student self-reflection, this article highlights some c

Bokslutet från början är en kombinerad fakta- och övningsbok som är en direkt fortsättning på grundboken i bokföring, Bokföring från början. I denna bok fördjupas kunskaperna. Steg för steg behandlas de olika områden man måste behärska för att kunna upprätta ett fullständigt bokslut med årsredovisning i enlighet med årsredovisningslagens krav. För varje moment finns ett stort antal övningar.
