Abstract in Danish Hvad er det der ‘kvæær’ egentlig? Dette spørgsmål synes altid at klistre til tekster og praksisser med queer som udgangspunkt, og dets svar bliver ofte tøvende, hængende i luften – ambivalent, utydeligt og afhængig af kontekst. For den som stiller spørgsmålet, bliver svaret næsten aldrig så konkret som hen håbede på. Og for den som forventes at svare, bliver diffuse henvisninger
This paper aims at validation of an iterative receiver for multiple-input multiple-output with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems using real-measurement channel data from an indoor scenario. The receiver performs iterative multi-user detection (MUD) and Channel Estimation (CE) via soft information from the single- user decoders. The channel measurements were performed f
Domain polarization switching in potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4, KDP) induced by a propagating strain wave has been observed with time-resolved x-ray diffraction. A pulsed electric field with amplitude of 6 kV/cm and duration of 1 mu s was applied along the crystallographic c axis. The field-induced strain waves emanating from the sample surfaces are the result of the converse piezoelectri
As a global society we are entering an era where land areas and land-based resources are coming to the fore once again for capital accumulation and economic growth, for the first time since the end of the 18th century when Malthus forecasted a contradiction between population growth and agricultural output. That constraint on economic growth, imposed by limited land areas, was overcome by the comb
Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a major reason for impaired work productivity and sick leave. In 2009, a national rehabilitation program was introduced in Sweden to promote work ability, and patients with MSDs were offered multimodal rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of this program on health related quality of life, function, sick leave and work abil
The ionization signals in the liquid argon of the ATLAS electromagnetic calorimeter are studied in detail using cosmic muons. In particular, the drift time of the ionization electrons is measured and used to assess the intrinsic uniformity of the calorimeter gaps and estimate its impact on the constant term of the energy resolution. The drift times of electrons in the cells of the second layer of
The Swedish epistemic auxiliary "verka" 'seem to' has developed since the end of the 19th century from an active causative meaning 'have the effect', 'cause'. Its use with a main verb in the infinitive has increased in the latter half of the 20th century. The deveolpment is studied as a case of grammaticalization.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur tvångsvård av alkoholmissbrukare upplevs av den som döms till det. Majoriteten av dessa personer är negativa till tvångsvård. I studien har också tagits hänsyn till att resultaten ses utifrån ett bredare perspektiv. Det som också undersökts är alkoholmissbruk generellt, varför klienterna dricker i den utsträckning de gör samThe aim of this study was to investigate how compulsary treatment of alcohol abuse is experienced by persons forced to submit to it, the majority of whom are negative in their attitude toward treatment of this sort. The importance of considering the resluts obtained not in isolation but within a larger context is emphasized. Among the elements of this context examined are alcohol abuse generally,
Aquaporins are water channel proteins belonging to the major intrinsic protein (MIP) superfamily of membrane proteins. More than 150 MIPs have been identified in organisms ranging from bacteria to animals and plants. In plants, aquaporins are present in the plasma membrane and in the vacuolar membrane where they are abundant constituents. Functional studies of aquaporins have hitherto mainly been
BACKGROUND: Gastrectomy (Gx) causes osteopenia. The hypothesis tested in the present study is that Gx affects Ca homeostasis and that an impaired ability to handle Ca contributes to the Gx-evoked osteopenia. METHODS: SHAM-operated and Gx rats were compared with respect to changes in blood Ca2+ after oral or intravenous loads of CaCl2 1-2 weeks or 2-4 months after the operations. RESULTS: Different
Membrane assisted extraction facilitates the integration of classical liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) chemistry to automated instrumental analysis. Various shortcomings of classical LLE are overcome by the membrane separation of sample (donor) and extract (acceptor): 1) reduced solvent usage, 2) higher enrichment factors, 3) no solvent evaporation and 4) no formation of emulsions. Membrane extracti
A theory of a strained p-Ge resonant-state THz laser is developed. A comprehensive study of the processes leading to the stimulated THz emission in strained p-Ge under an electric field applied is presented. The distribution functions of light and heavy holes are found. The scattering by optical and acoustic phonons, as well as resonant scattering by charged impurities are taken into account. The
