Popular Abstract in Swedish En stor del, kanske den största delen, av den information som vi dagligen får om världen tillhandahålls genom ett av våra fem sinnen: synen, med vilken ögat registrerar det ljus som vi omges av. Det ljus som vi kan registrera och uppfatta som färger är egentligen bara en bråkdel av den elektromagnetiska strålning som universum är uppfyllt av: Det finns även röntgenstrålThis thesis intends to provide spectroscopic information which may be of use in the investigation of low-density plasmas. Developed since the 19th century, the spectroscopic approach has proven to be a versatile method for measuring properties in hot gases, such as electron and ion temperatures and densities, the abundance of various elements in the gas, etc. However, such investigations rely on k

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 1990-talet ändrades miljöarbete i företag dramatiskt. Från att ha varit huvudsakligen fokuserad på lagstiftningens krav och tekniska lösningar för utsläpp och avfall, tog miljöarbete (d.v.s., "corporate environmental management", eller CEM) till sig nya strategiska och organisatoriska dimensioner runt om i världen. "Det gröna företaget" blev ett begrepp för denna Adopting a phenomenological, sensemaking-based approach, this dissertation reviews and critiques a variety of theories proposed as explanations of corporate “greening” and the evolution of corporate environmental management (CEM), and then presents and analyzes an organization study to explore in greater depth how sensemaking can be used for research in this context. As its object, the ethnograph

Gel filtration of blood serum was carried out with Sephadex G-200 gel and tris buffer at pH 7.8. The amount of protein in each of about 100 collected fractions was monitored using UV absorption. The fractions were concentrated and deposited onto Kimfol backing foils. From the PIXE results distributions of S, Fe, Cu and Zn were obtained in relation to the protein peaks, while elements like K, Ca an

Popular Abstract in Swedish Varje dag bildas ca en biljon nya blodceller i en vuxen person. Eftersom blodceller är relativt kortlivade sker denna nyproduktion ständigt. Alla dessa celler härstammar från en sorts cell, multipotenta blodstamceller. Genom en gradvis mognadsprocess, genereras röda blodkroppar (erytrocyter), vita blodkroppar (granulocyter, lymfocyter och monocyter) och blodplättar (troProliferation, differentiation, and survival of hematopoietic stem cells and multipotent progenitor cells are regulated by cytokines and cell-cell interactions. Kit ligand (KL) and Flt3 ligand (FL) have pleiotropic effects, promotes survival, but are nonredundant. Using myeloid progenitor cell lines and mouse bone marrow-derived Lin- progenitors, we demonstrate that inhibition of phophatidylinosit

The two nature reserves Benestads backar and Hagestad in Scania, southernmost Sweden, were surveyed for insect diversity during 2011 and 2012. Because current management plans for both reserves include a size expansion to increase the protective status also of adjacent areas, the aim of this survey was to derive a measure of current insect diversity in both reserves. These estimates can then be us

This contribution deals with the topic of transnationalism as it has developed in the humanities in the last two decades. The starting point for the reflections is the author's experiences over the course of two research projects in the years 1996 to 2003. "Musik baut Brücken?" seeks to highlight some of the definitions and difficulties of "transnationalism" which have become obvious in several de

A flexible method for six-degree-of-freedom combined vision/force control for interaction with a stiff uncalibrated environment is presented. An edge-based rigidbody tracker is used in an observer-based controller, and combined with a six-degree-of-freedom force- or impedance controller. The effect of error sources such as image space measurement noise and calibration errors are considered. Finall

This article examines the question of trust in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a special focus on the role of ethnicity. We find generalised trust to be low and declining in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Moreover, generalised trust is negatively affected by the degree of ethnic heterogeneity in the region. However, a further examination of trust reveals a more complex relationship between ethnicity and trus

A non-associated plasticity model for friction materials was presented by Krenk (1999) and an efficient calibration procedure developed by Ahadi & Krenk (1999). The ability of the model to represent the behaviour of sand was verified by calibrating the model from different sets of triaxial drained tests for both loose and dense sand performed at different confining pressures. This paper is a c

Automation is increasingly part of everyday driving as systems such as adaptive cruise control (ACC) or collision warning systems become the norm. These systems are not perfect, resulting in the driver having to stay vigilant for any faults or warnings even with insufficient feedback, and be prepared to reclaim control from an automated driving situation to normal driving. A questionnaire was sent

Protein kinase C (PKC), a multi-gene family of enzymes, plays key roles in the pathways of signal transduction, growth control and tumorigenesis. Variations in the intracellular localization of the individual isoforms are thought to be an important mechanism for the isoform-specific regulation of enzyme activity and substrate specificity. To provide a dynamic method of analyzing the localization o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tandvårdens arbetsmiljö innehåller ett stort antal riskfaktorer som anses medföra exponering som genom sin skadliga inverkan kan ge upphov till symptom och på längre sikt ohälsa. Det gäller såväl fysiska, kemiska som psykosociala faktorer. Det är känt sedan länge att tandläkare utvecklar besvär från rörelseorganen, som anses vara arbetsrelaterade. Patienten behandlas iThe aim of the thesis was to focus on the occupational health risks in dentistry with emphasis on musculoskeletal disorders in the neck and upper limbs and neuropathy in the hands, in relation to exposure to physical workload, vibration and mercury. An increased high frequency of long-lasting and wide-spread musculoskeletal symptoms in the neck and shoulder regions (58-75% during the past 12 mont
