The underpinning idea of extended producer responsibility rules has been to provide incentives for manufacturers to design products that are easy to recycle. However, current incentives for design for recycling are limited, due to the problems in assigning costs for collection and recycling of individual products to the relevant producers. An alternative way to promote design for recycling, or to

Popular Abstract in Swedish Jordens dotter. Selma Lagerlöf och den tyska hembygdslitteraturen. Avhandlingen undersöker mottagandet av Selma Lagerlöfs verk i Tyskland åren runt sekelskiftet 1900. Selma Lagerlöf introducerades på den tyska bokmarknaden 1896 med en översättning av debutverket Gösta Berlings saga. Redan tidigt under sin litterära karriär uppmärksammades hon i tysk press och nådde på This dissertation studies the reception of the works of the Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf in Germany at the turn of the century 1900. Selma Lagerlöf was introduced into the German book market in 1896, with a translation of her first novel, “The Saga of Gosta Berling”. She was well received by the German press and had after only a couple of years managed to get herself an impressive readership, whi

The application of k(t) - factorization, supplemented with the CCFM small-x evolution equation, to heavy quark production is discussed. Differential cross sections of b (b) over bar production and also inelastic J/psi production as measured at HERA are compared to the hadron level CCFM Monte Carlo generator CASCADE, using the unintegrated gluon density obtained within the CCFM evolution approach f

Boken handlar om hur fyra nytestamentliga figurer – Judas Iskariot, Maria Magdalena, Pontius Pilatus och Josef av Arimataia – under antiken och medeltiden blev föremål för folklig legendbildning. Genom att skapa historier om dessa figurer kanaliserade man sina egna trauman till en narrativ kontext, både inom den lärda och inom den folkliga kulturen.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Rehabilitering av personer med långvariga psykiska sjukdomar, i synnerhet psykossjukdomar har fått ett ökat intresse i samband med de långtgående omstruktureringarna av den psykiatriska vården i riktning mot samhällsbaserade vårdformer. Psykiska sjukdomar är många gånger mycket allvarliga och kan leda till ett långvarigt lidande och svåra handikapp. Det har också visat All patients admitted during a four-year period to a comprehensive, cognitive therapy based inpatient rehabilitation program for long-term mentally ill were invited to participate in the present study. A total of 28 patients were included. The patients were at admission and discharge assessed with regard to quality of life, symptoms, global functioning and target complaints. Every five weeks throu

Abstract in UndeterminedThe aim of this article is to analyze verbally portrayed experiences of 27 survivors of the 1990’s war in northwestern Bosnia. Focus lies on describing how the interviewees portray the social phenomenon of ”victimhood”, and to analyze discoursive patterns which contribute to constructing the cathegory ”victim”. When, after the war, different actors claim this ”victim” statu

Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteiner är den huvudsakliga beståndsdelen i levande celler. Proteiner består av långa kedjor av aminosyror som sitter ihop med peptidbindningar och vecklar ihop sig till komplicerade tre dimensionella strukturer. Proteiner är involverade i praktiskt taget alla mekanismer och funktioner i cellen. När man studerar hela proteinsammansättningen i t.ex. ett organ, en speciMembrane proteins are particularly important to characterize, since they are involved in cellular processes of utmost importance in control and regulation of cells, such as transport across membranes, signal transduction and photosynthesis. The word "proteome" means all proteins expressed by a e.g. a cell or a tissue, at a certain time point and "proteomics" is the large scale study of these prote

The role of accountants in organizations is intriguing in the current context of the broad changes in the profession observed by many. Mainly because of technological advancements, what has previously required a considerable amount of time and effort, i.e. bookkeeping & reporting, has been assumed to ‘just happen’ easily, with a corollary that it should not be taken for granted, that the accou

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling utgår från den betydande variationen i försäljning av antidepressiva läkemedel mellan olika geografiska områden. Allmänläkare förskriver cirka två tredjedelar av dessa läkemedel. Syftet med forskningsprojektet var dels att kartlägga allmänläkares uppfattningar om depression och faktorer som kan ha betydelse för deras sätt att behandla patienter med deprThis thesis emanates from considerations about the inter-regional variation of the sales of antidepressive drugs, and how general practitioners may contribute to that variation. The thesis comprises two data collections utilized for five separate studies. The first data set emerges from interviews with seventeen general practitioners and is used for papers I and II. The first paper reports on gene

Time-domain windowing of transmit blocks in multicarrier transmission is a technique frequently used to improve the properties of the transmit spectrum. An intersymbol window is longer than a multicarrier symbol including its cyclic extension. Before windowing, additional cyclic extensions at the beginning and at the end of each multicarrier symbol are introduced. Since the window only shapes thes
