Bokens målgrupp är universitets- och högskolestudenter såväl som allmänhet som har börjat ta del av diskussionen kring religion i populärkultur. Boken har ett religionsantropologiskt anslag och går igenom definitionsproblematik, religiösa grupperingars bruk av populärkultur och reaktion gentemot populärkultur som sprider "falsk" religion. Återkommande narrativ och hur dessa tolkas som alluderande

Oxidative degradation is a serious threat to long-term use and recyclability of polymers. Successful recycling of polymeric quality products requires characterization of the polymer material after reprocessing and use. Lately, a growing awareness of the heterogeneous nature of degradation has developed in terms of physical spreading, non-uniform distribution of stabilizer, physical loss of stabili

An museum catalogue entry concerning a specific work of art.

Combining the strengths of an advanced mathematical model of human physiology and a thermal manikin is a new paradigm for simulating thermal behaviour of humans. However, the forerunners of such adaptive manikins showed some substantial limitations. This project aimed to determine the opportunities and constraints of the existing thermal manikins when dynamically controlled by a mathematical model

A comprehensive study of the photophysical behavior of poly(acrylic acids) randomly labeled with pyrene using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy is presented. The influence of external factors, such as different solvents and pH in the aqueous solution, on the polymer photophysics has been investigated. These factors induce major changes in the polymer conformation, which are

Popular Abstract in Swedish (Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning) I Skandinavien drabbas 1 av 3 000 människor av en ärftlig näthinnedegeneration som ofta leder till en grav synnedsättning och inte sällan till blindhet. Orsaken är att näthinnans ljuskänsliga celler långsamt förtvinar. Vi kan ännu inte bota dessa sjukdomar. Det finns många olika varianter av ärftlig näthinnedegeneration, vilket gör The purpose of the study was to characterise the phenotype with emphasis on electroretinography in four different types of hereditary retinal degeneration and to correlate it to a genotype when possible. Two methods were used: full-field electroretinography for objective assessment of retinal function and mutation screening of blood samples for detection of gene alterations. Electroretinograms fro

Eddy flux tower measurements, ground-based reflectance measurements, regionally modeled data, and data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) were used in this study of an ombrotrophic bog in southern Sweden. Linear regression analysis was used to investigate how the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR), light-use efficiency (epsiv), and gross pr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vad bestämmer om en cell skall dö? En viktig, avgörande faktor är vilken signal cellen får från omgivningen. Den måste nämligen vara mycket öppen för intryck och beredd att tjänstvilligt dö på begäran, eftersom hela den flercelliga varelsen beror av att det fungerar så. Det måste förstås också finnas signaler utifrån som talar om att det är dags att kämpa, att överleva Eicosanoids are known to be involved in many different aspects of eukaryotic physiology and pathology. Notably, over the past 10 years much attention has been given to cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) due to its involvement in colorectal cancer. Less is known about the other major branch of arachidonic acid metabolism, namely the lipoxygenases (LO). The cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) are a family of met

Even if outsourcing is a well-researched phenomenon, it can be stated that evaluation studies on IS outsourcing relationships are scarce. From a description of two IS outsourcing relationship cases, a set of les-sons learned are presented. A boundary spanning perspective is then used when evaluating these lessons learned in the client-supplier outsourcing relationships and thereby adding a “new” t
