The interest in the Holocaust has been growing continuously over the last decades, and this study deals with how the Holocaust has been perceived, interpreted and used in an Israeli context. The central theoretical concept in this study is historical consciousness, and the aim is to analyze the place of the Holocaust in Israeli historical consciousness. This concept should be understood as the wa
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kroppens immunförsvar är en kraftfull organisation som styrs av ett intrikat samspel mellan olika molekyler. Dess främsta uppgift är att försvara kroppen mot främmande ämnen, såsom virus och bakterier. Detta kräver en snabb reaktion, vilken naturen löst i form av ett kaskadsystem, där ett första fåtal molekyler inom loppet av minuter aktiverat miljontals molekyler och cANCA-associated systemic vasculitis (AASV) is a group of inflammatory disorders, characterized by inflammation and necrosis of blood vessels and frequently granuloma formation. Patients with AASV make autoantibodies, so called ANCA, against proteins present in the granules of neutrophils and monocytes, mainly proteinase 3 (PR3) and myeloperoxidase (MPO). Clinically, disease progression is characte
The overall aim of this work was to increase our knowledge of newborn infants and their mothers, gain a better understanding of attachment and the infants' development and identify infants at risk for poorer emotional, social and cognitive development. An interdisciplinary approach was used. Six studies are included in the thesis. Non-nutritive sucking (NNS) and its relation to neurobehavioural st
Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins that function as water channels highly specific for water or as aquaglyceroporins permeable to water as well as small solutes such as glycerol and urea. The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana has 35 genes encoding aquaporin proteins. Identifying the complete set of aquaporins in Arabidopsis constitutes an unique opportunity to comprehensively classify and re
Wireless networked embedded systems are becoming increasingly important in a wide area of technical fields. In this tutorial paper we present recent results on the design of these systems and their use in control applications, that have been developed within the project Reconfigurable Ubiquitous Networked Embedded Systems (RUNES). RUNES is a European Integrated Project with the aim to control comp
Building on a framework introduced by Chaney and Ossa (2013), we construct a task-based model of the firm’s choice of occupational inputs to examine how that choice varies with greater global engagement. We depart from Chaney and Ossa by assuming that more complex tasks are more costly to complete. Within the structure of our model, firms skew employment toward occupations engaged in more complex

Popular Abstract in Swedish Information om smärta, klåda och temperaturförändringar förmedlas till centrala nervsystemet av tunna nervfibrer som leder nervimpulser relativt långsamt. Information om beröring av huden förmedlas istället av grova och snabbt ledande nervfibrer. Det är välkänt att olika känselkvaliteter kan interagera med varandra på olika nivåer i centrala nervsystemet. Vanlig berörinIt is known that stimulation of thin nerve afferents can inhibit itch and pain and that the nociceptive systems have a detailed topographical organisation, with subsystems exhibiting specific excitatory and inhibitory receptive fields. On this basis, a new technique was developed, termed Cutaneous Field Stimulation (CFS), that electrically stimulates thin nerve fibers innervating specific skin fie
Drawing on a combination of empirical industry observations and management literature, this document at- tempts to shed some light on the usage of the term ‘convergence’ that can be identified within the security sector. The aim is to provide both a typology of definitions and a discussion of some of the strategic implica- tions of different types of convergence. A basic distinction is made betwee
Mycorrhizal symbioses are formed between plant root systems and compatible fungal hyphae that results in a complex mixed structure. They are found in all ecosystems and with the majority of land plants such as forest trees or crops that are of commercial interest. Mutual exchange of nutrients between the two symbionts is central to the successful functioning of the symbioses. In order to understan
Popular Abstract in Swedish Strålningsterapi är en viktig metod för att behandla många cancertyper och man söker konstant efter olika sätt att förbättra användningen av joniserande strålning vid behandling. Radiobiologisk forskning för cancerterapi söker att förbättra vår förståelse för hur joniserande strålning verkar på olika livsformer. Idag finns det många sätt att utröna en behandlings inverkFor the development of a Single–Ion Hit Facility (SIHF) for living cells irradiation at the Lund Ion Beam Analysis facility (LIBAF), newly developed pre-cell detectors have been investigated. These detectors can determine the number of ions reaching the sample. Central to the thesis is their fabrication and characterization. Two different detectors ’ Design A and Design B’ were fabricated with thi
