Does method matter? … 1 Does method matter? Collecting and understanding experience data with different techniques Abstract When collecting data on experiences, respondents’ reports change as time goes by. Therefore, it is vital to collect data on experiences close to where and when they take place. In this study, GPS devices combined with questionnaires were compared to smartphones to collect exp

The design and analysis of specular radar absorbing materials are investigated throughout the dissertation. Although the topic has been investigated for more than 60 years by many researchers and numerous designs have been proposed, still many technical challenges are remained unanswered. The basic questions are, e.g., the optimal thickness of a design, the possibility of utilization of unconventi

Surface display in insect cells: Systems available for surface display that utilize bacterial phages are insufficient for displaying a number of eukaryotic proteins. By instead presenting proteins on the surface of eukaryotic cells or virus, some of these problems might be overcome. The baculovirus/insect cell system, which has a high expression rate and post-translational mashinery closely resemb

Brämhults Juice AB is a Swedish company producing fresh juice for the Scandinavian market. Fresh juice is rich in taste but has limited durability and must be treated with special care throughout the whole supply chain. Not only will the quality of the product be affected if mistreated, but there are also contamination risks meaning that people actually could get sick, although the risk is very sm

The major uncertainty in predicting the influence of human activities on global climate change is the effect of aerosols. Two physical properties of aerosols largely controlling their influence on climate are the particle number size distribution and the interaction of the particles with the surrounding water vapor. The work presented in this thesis provides new information on the interaction bet

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen handlar om den aspekt av människans självbild, eller självet, som på engelska kallas possible selves, och som på svenska skulle kunna kallas "möjliga själv" (en etablerad svensk översättning saknas). Detta är framtidsföreställningar eller framtidsbilder där vi ser oss själva i framtida situationer eller tillstånd, och teorin om möjliga själv presenterades fPossible selves are conceptions or images of ourselves in future states or situations. The theory about possible selves used in the present thesis was developed in a social cognitive tradition of research on the self, where the self is seen as a knowledge structure (Markus & Nurius, 1986). Possible selves are parts of this knowledge structure and possible selves are of importance for motivatio

Popular Abstract in English There is a growing prevalence of disorders associated to the metabolic syndrome globally. To reverse this trend lifestyle changes are required. Among dietary factors, dietary fibre that is associated with several health benefits plays an interesting role. Barley is highly unutilized as human food, and it contains high amounts of dietary fibre. The composition of the barBarley is one of the most important crops in the world. Although it is mainly used as the raw material for the production of beer and animal feed, it has recently attracted interest from nutritionists and consumers, due to its high content of dietary fibre, especially β-glucan, and its relation to various positive health effects. The proposed mechanisms behind the health effects are the formation

Popular Abstract in Swedish Lokal läkemedelsstatistik – ett verktyg för att identifiera problemområden och att bedöma effekter av information och utbildning om läkemedel. Det finns behov att studera läkemedelsförskrivning och läkemedelsanvändning och dessas samband med och effekter på hälsa, sjuklighet och överdödlighet. Det är också önskvärt att kunna använda individdata. I Sverige är det i allmAims: 1) To assess if drug sales data indicate differences in morbidity, mortality, socio-economic conditions and deviating prescribing habits among physicians; 2) to identify areas for educational interventions and to analyse changes in prescribing after educational activities. In addition, an effort was made to estimate differences between pharmacy sales and purchases by the population, and the

The work presented in this thesis focuses on developing methods of measuring moisture properties at high moisture levels. Paper I deal with a new method of measuring moisture diffusivity at high moisture levels. Papers II to IV present methods of measuring moisture storage capacity as well as results from such measurements. Paper V evaluates the use of thermal imaging to measure transient moisture

The incidence of Diabetes Mellitus increases globally in epidemic proportions. Type 2 Diabetes is the most prevalent form of Diabetes, comprising 90% of the patients. In Type 2 Diabetes, two processes contribute to the development of the disease: insufficient insulin secretion from the pancreatic ?-cell and insulin resistance of the target organs. This leads to loss of control of blood glucose lev

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sammanfattning Teknik är alltid skapad för en förväntad brukare i ett antaget sammanhang. Inom kommersiell luftfart är dessa antaganden när det gäller design tydliga. Såväl besättning som utrustning är certifierad för en viss typ av operationer i enlighet med flygplanets drifthandbok. Trots denna genomtänkta definition av användare i sitt sammanhang händer det ändå attAbstract Technology is always designed for an assumed user in an assumed context. In commercial aviation, these design assumptions are clearly spelt out in that both crew and equipment are certificated for a specific operation as stated in the aircraft flight manual. Despite this well defined user context, the designed-for and the real contexts often differ enough so that adaptations of working p

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen undersöker de två behandlingsalternativ, hemodialys och njurtransplantation, som är tillgängliga för personer med njursvikt. I fokus för undersökningen står de former av person- och patientskap som skapas och upprätthålls i hemodialys- och njurtransplantationsvården samt i de njursjukas vardagsliv. Ett av avhandlingens grundläggande antaganden är att dessa This thesis examines the practice of haemodialysis and kidney transplantation, the two medical therapies available for persons with kidney failure, from a phenomenological perspective. A basic assumption made in the thesis is that contemporary biomedicine is deeply embedded in the cultural, historical, economic, and political circumstances provided by the particular local, national, and transnatio

Today, as a rule, the most cost-effective way to remove nitrogen from municipal wastewater is the biological method based on nitrification and subsequent denitrification. All biological systems may be affected by toxicants, and biological nitrogen removal is no exception. An investigation of influent wastewaters from 109 Swedish municipal wastewater treatment plants was accomplished. Inhibitory s

Pollen analyses and AMS C-14 measurements were performed on lacustrine sediments and peat sequences from two former crater lakes (Preluca Tiganului, Steregoiu) situated in the Gutaiului Mountains in northwestern Romania, in order to reconstruct the vegetation development during the Lateglacial and Early Holocene. Before c. 14,700 cal. years BP (GS-2) open vegetation with shrubs (Salix, Juniperus),

Intramolecular motions of proteins are critical for biological function. Transient structural fluctuations underlie a wide range of processes, including enzyme catalysis, ligand binding to buried sites, and generic protein motions, such as 180 degrees rotation of aromatic side chains in the protein interior, but remain poorly understood. Understanding the dynamics and molecular nature of concerted

Innan ett aktiebolag går i konkurs är det inte ovanligt att en större överföring görs, exempelvis till aktieägare. Aktiebolagslagen innehåller regler som kan användas mot bolag som företar illojala transaktioner mot borgenärer. En återbäringstalan av olovlig värdeöverföring är ofta komplex och ekonomiskt tung då omfattande utredningar av bolaget krävs. Konkurslagens återvinningsregler, framföralltBefore a public company goes bankrupt, it is not uncommon that a large transfer is made, for example, to the shareholders. The Limited Company Act i.a. Company Act contains rules that can be used against companies who undertake unlawful transactions from their creditors. A repayment claim of an unlawful transfer is often complex and economically heavy, because major investigations of the company n

The transgression of Earth’s nine planetary boundaries is a phenomena that will have consequences shared by us all. Contemporary political and economic paradigms vow for the substitution of Earth’s limited natural capital with growing human capital for our self-aggrandizing interests. Based on the lack of collective action towards sustainability, international bodies such as the Intergovernmental
