This book has three parts: (1) Aspects of Jesus' life from the perspective of social anthropology: family, honour and shame, conversations as honour struggles, deciphering meals. (2) What Jesus thought of himself in relation to John the Baptist, God the Father, his coming Kingdom, the temple, the authorities; why he was executed; his resurrection a historical fact? (3) Analysis of two centuries an

Popular Abstract in English A biosensor is an analytical device that combines a transducer with a biological sensing element. This sensor is unique and has played an important role for a broad range of applications including clinical analysis and process monitoring. Between different types of biosensors, the capacitive biosensor has recently gained a lot of interest due to its analytical performanIncreasing demands for highly sensitive, accurate, fast and portable analytical assays have led to the development of new analytical tools. The integration of highly specific biological sensing elements and appropriate transducers has enabled design of even more efficient biosensor devices for the detection of target substances. In a clinical setting, early detection of biomarkers is crucial for

The lactic acid bacterium, Streptococcus thermophilus, is used in the dairy industry in mixed cultures with Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus for the production of yoghurt. Many strains of S. thermophilus produce exopolysaccharides (EPSs) which affect the texture and viscosity of fermented food products. However, the production of EPSs by S. thermophilus is low and variable, and better k

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hemicellulosa är en fantastisk källa av förnyelsebar råvara, vars användning har potental att bli kraftigt utökad i framtiden. Hemicellulosor är tillsammans, med lignin och cellulosa bland de mest förekommande klasserna av ämnen i växtcellernas väggar. Dessa tre beståndsdelar är tätt sammanlänkade, vilket gör det svårt att separera dem från varandra. Hemicellulosor är kHemicelluloses are tremendous sources of renewable raw materials, which utilisation have the potential to be highly increased in the future. Hemicelluloses are among the major groups of compounds in plant cell walls, together with cellulose and lignin. These three components are closely associated, making them difficult to separate from each other. Hemicelluloses are complex polysaccharides and tw

Sångens position och funktion i moderna civilsamhällen är annorlunda än i förmodern tid. Detta gäller åtminstone för aspekter som vem det är som sjunger varför, när och i vilket syfte? Här spelar samhällskulturella avvägningar en väsentlig roll som exempelvis av det individuella mot det kollektiva, det estetiska mot det sociala, det sakrala mot det sekulära och det instrumentala mot det vokala. Hu

Background: There is a need for ecient regression testing in most software development organizations. Often the proposed solutions involve automation. However, despite this being a well researched area, research results are rarely applied in industrial practice. Aim: In this paper we aim to bridge the gap between research and practice by providing examples of how evidence-based regression testing

Popular Abstract in Swedish Telomerer är en specialiserad DNA-protein struktur som finns i slutet av den linjära kromosomen. Trots att den telomera regionen inte innehåller några gener anses den vara oumbärlig för kromosomernas överlevnad. Telomererna skyddar kromosomerna från nedbrytning orsakad av enzymatiska attacker. Kromosomer utan telomerer har dessutom visats vara ytterst reaktiva och fuserThe telomeres, the physical ends of the chromosomes, consist in various species of short simple tandem repeats which are extended by telomerase. The Drosophila melanogaster telomeres, which instead are elongated by retroposons, are an exception. In Chironomus pallidivittatus and Chironomus tentans the telomeres contain 340/350-bp tandem repeats in blocks up to 200 kb in size. The structure of the

All service control nodes can be modelled as a server system with one or more servers processing incoming requests. In this paper we show how non-linear control theory may be used when analyzing admission control mechanisms for server systems. Two models are developed, one linear and one non-linear. We show that, due to the non-linearities appearing in a real server system, linear control theory i

A number of CCS-technologies are currently being developed for the reduction of CO2 emissions from thermal power stations. One such technology is the oxyfuel process, in which a mixture of CO2 and steam is used as the working medium. The semi-closed oxyfuel combustion combined cycle (SCOC-CC) is an oxyfuel cycle where the working medium mainly consists of CO2 (85-95%). Current practice is to desig

I denna text vill jag göra tre poänger: 1) internet är idag och kommer över överskådlig tid att vara ett oerhört viktigt fält för forskning och datainsamling inom samhällsvetenskapen; 2) det finns en rad olika problem – metodmässiga, ekonomiska och etiska – med datainhämtning i stor skala; 3) det etiska regelverket för denna typ av forskning är i Sverige outvecklat och måste ses över.
