Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen analyserar den schweiziske teologen Hans Küng och hans arbete med att utforma en universell moral. Enligt Küng kan världsreligionerna ligga till grund för en moral som kan sträcka sig över alla ideologiska, kulturella och religiösa gränser. Denna moral, som vilar på världsreligionerna, kan sedan ligga till grund för världspolitiken och garantera att relatioThis dissertation analyzes the work on universal morality by the Swiss theologian Hans Küng. According to Küng, a universal morality can be formed out of the world's religions that can reconcile ideological, cultural and religious differences. This morality can then form the basis for international policy and politics and guarantee that relations among states are peaceful. Küng's project focuses

Comparisons have revealed large discrepancies among the many methods for measuring soil CO2 efflux indicating the need for an absolute calibration of methods. This study presents a calibration system, constructed to imitate an area of soil, and its application to two different chamber systems for the measurement Of Soil CO2 efflux: one open and one closed dynamic. Air rich in CO2 was allowed to di

The nature of the action of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) on hormone release from isolated islets was investigated. We found that glucose-induced insulin release was potentiated by L-NAME in the absence or presence of diazoxide, a potent K+ATP channel opener, as well as in the presence of diazoxide plus a depolarizing concentration of K+. At a

An algal-bacterial consortium formed by Chlorella sorokiniana and a phenanthrene-degrading Pseudomonas migulae strain was able to biodegrade 200-500 mg/l of phenanthrene dissolved in silicone oil or tetradecane under photosynthetic conditions and without any external supply of oxygen. Phenanthrene was only removed when provided in organic solvent, which confirms the potential of two-phase systems

Operation of a district heating system is accomplished via a sequence of decisions by the operators controlling the system. These decisions are based on expectations of conditions in the system that are not known at decision time. The operators could be helped by a decision support system that computes predictions of future system variables and suggests appropriate control actions given the availa

Herpes simplex virus is known to induce an immunoglobulin-binding cell surface receptor in infected cells that utilizes a nonimmune mechanism. In the present paper, we report the immunoglobulin class and subclass specificity of this receptor. Of the human immunoglobulins G(IgG), IgA, IgM, and IgD, as well as the structurally related beta2 microglobulin, only IgG and its Fc portion exhibited an inc

The aim of this controlled study was to evaluate a 1-year learner-centred educational project in end-of-life care for home care staff in a rural district of Sweden. Another rural district in the same region served as a control area. A 20-item questionnaire measuring attitudes towards end-of-life care was designed, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale was used to measure mental well

We present a new method for signal extraction from noisy multichannel epileptic seizure onset EEG signals. These signals are non-stationary which makes time-invariant filtering unsuitable. The new method assumes a signal model and performs denoising by filtering the signal of each channel using a time-variable filter which is an estimate of the Wiener filter. The approximate Wiener filters are obt
