The Effect of Expected Outcome on Attendance
Development and Application of Laser Diagnostics for Studies of Phenomena Related to IC Engine Combustion
Various laser diagnostic techniques have been developed and demonstrated for engine, or engine-related measurements. The experimental work is presented in Chapter 3 and in Papers I-VII. In Chapter 3, imaging of soot in a running compression-ignition (CI) is described. Four different approaches were applied with the aim of investigating the applicability of these approaches in a running engine. I
Amisch alli Daag : fromhet i funktion? : Efterföljelsen gestaltad i amishfolkets kyrkoliv
The thesis focuses on the way the Amish view their life and actions as Christians. With its basis in first-hand observations from the settlements of Dover (DE) and Lancaster (PA) the inquiry describes, analyzes and interprets the ecclesiastical life of the Old Order Amish from an ecclesiological viewpoint. Utilizing a specific model of analysis the dissertation examines the institutions (church/f
Det andra moderna: om Jürgen Habermas och den samhällsteoretiska diskursen om det moderna
This is a dissertation in social theoretical research. Its main subject is the critical social theory of the later Jürgen Habermas, that is, the social theory of Habermas which has broken with his earlier attempt to found social theory in an anthropology of knowledge and which instead - since the beginning of the seventies - takes its point of departure in the presuppositions of communicative acti
Stability of statically and periodically loaded structures
In this thesis different kinds of stability phenomena are analysed. Firstly the quasi-static behaviour of an elastic structure is studied for increasing loading. The post-buckling behaviour is studied numerically with a path-following method where limit points and bifurcation points can be determined with good accuracy and the solutions may be followed out on the secondary branches. Secondly, an a
MOVPE Growth and Characterization of Low-Dimensional III-V Semiconductor Structures
Metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy is used for growth of low-dimensional III-V semiconductor structures. The roughness of heterointerfaces in GaAs/GaInP quantum well structures is studied by photoluminescence emission from extremely narrow quantum wells. Results obtained for GaAs/GaInP quantum wells are compared to the more thoroughly investigated GaInAs/InP material combination. The potential of u
CFC-lagstiftning. En studie av CFC-beskattning i belysning av den internationella beskattningsrättens utsträckning, den internationella skatterätten, neutral beskattning samt beskattning efter skatteförmåga.
This thesis on international tax law deals with the topic Controlled Foreign Corporation (CFC) legislation, in relation to the international right to tax, international tax law, neutral taxation and taxation according to the taxpayer´s ability to pay. The Organisation for European Cooperation and Development (OECD)has recommended to all member-states that they incorporate CFC legislation into thei
Climate Change after the International : Rethinking Security, Territory and Authority
What does a politics after the international mean? Many strands of contemporary scholarship converge on the image of the international as obsolete, but strongly diverge on the contours of the kinds of politics that are superseding it. The modern state has been pivotal to the meaning of security, territory and authority?concepts central to the idea of the international?but they do not necessarily h

Collaboratively Learning Marketing: How Organizations Jointly Develop and Appropriate Marketing Knowledge
Business organizations increasingly face the problem of how to generate and share knowledge in collaboration with other, separate, business organizations. Researchers in the field of inter-organizational learning have started to study the partner-characteristic, partner-dynamic, and partner-situational factors that influence the process and outcome of such strategic learning collaboration. However
Acupuncture in Obstetrics and Anaesthesia
The aims of the present thesis (I-V) were to evaluate the analgesic and adverse effects of manual acupuncture for low-back and pelvic pain during pregnancy (I) and for labour pain (II-III), and also to study the effects of low-frequency electro acupuncture (EA) on clinical physiological responses to skin incision in anaesthetized patients (IV-V). Acupuncture in obstetric patients (I-III) Manual
Växandets gestaltning i Peter Pohls romansvit om Micke
Peter Pohl was born in Germany in 1940 but grew up in Stockholm, a setting reflected in many of his books. Pohl, a researcher at the Royal Technical University in Stockholm, made his fiction debut with the multi-prize-winning novel "Janne, min vän" (1985), and is internationally acclaimed for, among other things, the way in which his teenage novels highlight existential questions. The purpose of t
´Personality in action´ : Strategy measurement in computerized neuropsychological tests
"Personality determines very largely the use a person makes of his intellectual gifts" (Eysenck, 1988). Computerization of neuropsychological tests has made possible a detailed analysis of both quantitative and qualitative aspects of a person´s test performance. Factor analyses of test data generally bring out two main factors of performance: speed and accuracy, representing both the intellectual
Jet Production and Parton Dynamics in Deep Inelastic Scattering
Hard QCD processes have been studied by measuring the di-jet event rate for deep inelastic scattering in the kinematic range 5 < Q2 < 100 GeV2 and 10-4 < x < 10-2. The jets we re reconstructed using the cone algorithm in the hadronic center-of-mass frame in which the transverse momentum of the jets were required to be greater than 5 GeV. The result of the investigation is that using Leading Order
Överensstämmelse mellan situationer och ekonomistyrsystem : en studie av medelstora företag
The focus of the thesis is the situation of and the management control systems in middle-sized, manufacturing companies. We have examined the relevance of different types of management control systems for different situations and formulated taxonomies of the contingency factors environment, production situation and business strategy. We found two types of situation. The first type, the interactive
En europeisk kosmopolit. En idéhistorisk studie av Immanuel Kants Om den eviga freden och dess verkningshistoria
This dissertation, a contribution to the history of ideas, is a study of Immanuel Kant’s 1795 monograph Zum ewigen Frieden (Perpetual Peace) and its effective history. The intention is to show how this particular work has been formed, read, discussed and interpreted for about 200 years. Considering the attention the work received on its bicentennial anniversary in comparison with the attention it
Bleeding Oesophageal Varices. A Clinical Study of Mesocaval Interposition Shunting and Endoscopic Sclerotherapy
This thesis is aimed at evaluating the clinical results of two treatments in patients with bleeding oesophageal varices; the mesocaval interposition shunt (MI shunt) and repeated endoscopic sclerotherapy (ST). 24 patients were randomised to MI shunt and 21 patients to the ST group (mean age 51.6?9.2 and 53.6?10.5 years). Complications include shunt occlusion in 4 %, oesophagitis in 33 % and oesoph
Sequence evolution in a chromosomal region of Arabidopsis thaliana
Recently there has been a lot of interest in the use of liknage disequilibrium (LD) in genome wide scans for new genes, so called association mapping. Of crucial importance to a genome wide scan for associations between genetic markers and the trait of interest is the extent of LD, as it determines both how closely a trait can be mapped and also how many markers is needed to map it. Most outbreedi
Acidaemia at Birth: Risk factors, diagnosis and prognosis, with special reference to maternal fever in labour
Acidaemia at birth is a result of an impaired intrauterine gas exchange. Between 1988 and 1996, acid-base balance in cord artery blood pH was assessed in 23 016 of 27 064 newborns (85%). Obstetric risk factors for acidaemia (cord artery pH < 7.05) were identified in a case-control study. Independent risk factors were breech delivery, administration of oxytocin or pethidine, cord entanglement and m
