Motivated by concerns about anthropogenic climate change, this thesis contributes to the better appreciation of mechanisms that would allow actors in China, foreign as well as Chinese, to exert a positive influence on the country's industrial technology status. China is the world's second largest emitter of greenhouse gases - the lions' share of which emanates from industrial and electricity produ

Popular Abstract in Swedish Information om vår omvärld förmedlas med hjälp av elektriska och kemiska signaler i kroppens olika nervbanor till hjärnan där vi tolkar signalerna. Dessa s.k. sensoriska signaler förmedlar information om så skilda saker som hur maten smakar till hur varmt det är, hur ett föremål ser ut, känns osv, till smärtinformation som hjälper oss att undvika farliga situationer. I Neuropeptide expression in the nervous system is abundant and plastic, and an altered expression after injury is an example of a functional response, helping the neuron to cope with adverse changes, and involves effects on differentiation, synthesis, repair/regeneration, survival, and modulation of signal transmission. I have investigated the distribution/expression of the neuropeptides, orphanin

Popular Abstract in Swedish Transformationen av läkemedel till "pro-drugs" är ett lockande koncept där man tillåts förändra en förenings kemiska och fysikaliska egenskaper utan att ändra den aktiva molekylens struktur. Vilken förening som helst kan i princip omformas till en "pro-drug". Många naturprodukter besitter egenskaper som är potentiellt intressanta för behandling av sjukdom men är svåra aThe modification of drugs into pro-drugs is an attractive concept allowing you to tweak the chemical and physical properties of a drug without changing the original structure of the active compound. In principle, any compound possessing a preferred biological activity can be transformed into a pro-drug. Many natural products harbor qualities that are potentially interesting as drugs but difficult

A somewhat self-critical discussion of the role played by socio-historical information (e.g. about money in social relations) in historical interpretation of ancient and early Christian history, and of the standpoints of Gerd Theissen, Justin Meggitt and Eckehard and Wolfgang Stegemann in this area. The article also explores the role of sociological or social-scientific models in historical recons

Popular AbstractAvhandlingen är en pedagogikhistorisk kvinnobiografi. Min empiri bygger främst på ett biografiskt material bestående av litteratur av och om Honorine Hermelin Grønbech, samt brev från och till henne, radio- och TV-program jämte material kring skolan, protokoll, föreläsningsanteckningar samt samtal med tidsvittnen. Mot bakgrund av en pedagogy-historical and a women’s historical contThe aim of the dissertation is to analyse, in the light of the history of education and of women, ”biographical sections” of the life and work of the Swedish educationalist Honorine Hermelin Grønbech (1886-1977). The focus is on adult education, and in particular female civic education, which set out to encourage Swedish women to exercise their newly won rights of citizenship (1921). The publicat

When biomass is used to produce fuels and green products by thermochemical conversion, the ability to handle or remove the fine particle phase in the product gas is crucial. The product gas from biomass gasification contains relatively volatile organic compounds (“tar”) condensed on nonvolatile cores of, for example, aggregated soot particles and char. The problems are, for example, that particles
