This report has been compiled within the framework of the programme on Regional Air Pollution in Developing Countries (RAPIDC), Phase III, conducted during the period 2005-2008. RAPIDC has been funded by the Department of Infrastructure and Economic Cooperation (INEC) of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). It is coordinated by the Stockholm Environmental Institute (SEI
A paradigm shift is emerging in universities especially regarding how personalized and collaborative mobile learning should be addressed. Recently three international benchmarking projects on quality of e-learning in higher education have been carried out by Lund University in Sweden. These showed that quality has to be valued from a holistic perspective and to a higher extent from learning dimens
Due to potential benefits of high energy conversion efficiency and low noise/pollution, fuel cells have attracted many application areas. In general, fuel cells can be applied on-board ships as emergency power supply, electric energy generation, power output for propulsion or where appropriate, a combination of these uses. In this paper, a brief summary is presented for various fuel cells and thei

Contemporary economic landscapes are particularly active with mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcies, and corporate takeovers, and the set of managerial elite who are in decision making positions are inextricably connected to these events. In this thesis I offer an anthropological perspective of these dynamics by considering the possible connection between processes of trans- national capitalist elit
The Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning is accompanied every year by a shared task whose purpose is to promote natural language processing applications and evaluate them in a standard setting. In 2008 the shared task was dedicated to the joint parsing of syntactic and semantic dependencies. This shared task not only unifies the shared tasks of the previous four years under a uniq
In Truffaut's film Fahrenheit 451 there is a scene showing some people learning to recite the great classics by heart - this is an image of the use of literary criticism - it is an undertaking necessary to preserve, interprete and evaluate literature - writing becomes language first when it is read.This is the use of the not useful.
In the present paper, recordings of ‘Swedish on multilingual ground’ from three different cities in Sweden are compared and discussed.
The aim of this thesis was to elucidate the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the transduction signalling of insulin and glucagon release by stimulating or inhibiting islet endogenous NO-production as well as by using NO donors. Insulin release stimulated by L-arginine, the substrate for constitutive NO-synthase (cNOS)-catalyzed NO-production, was increased by the selective NOS-inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arg
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vad har jag gjort de senaste åren? Och varför? Det är det många som har undrat. Så stundtals även jag. Vad jag skriver nedan syftar inte till att förklara detta, utan är bara ämnat som en kort introduktion. Jag har de senaste åren jobbat med gener och proteiner från både växter och bakterier. Både gener och proteiner är väldigt små saker, men även den minsta lilla sak This thesis deals with the structure and function of two different enzymes, ferrochelatase and magnesium chelatase, that catalyse similar reactions. When this work started, a three-dimensional model of ferrochelatase existed. Much was known about the enzyme, but some details remained unclear. The focus has been to establish where the metal and the porphyrin binds to the enzyme, and how they are pu

The term Anthropocene denotes a new geological epoch characterized by the unprecedented impact of human activities on the Earth’s ecosystems. While the natural sciences have advanced their understanding of the drivers and processes of global change considerably over the last two decades, the social sciences lag behind in addressing the fundamental challenge of governance and politics in the Anthro
This study examined the molecular mechanisms of neutrophil migration to sites of mucosal bacterial infection. (1) Bacterial induction of neutrophil chemotactic cytokines and their role in neutrophil migration. Uropathogenic E.coli were shown to stimulate urinary tract epithelial cells to produce a specific array of cytokines including the neutrophil chemoattractant IL-8. IL-8 production was depen
Ett forskningsprojekt IMPOERS har startats för att följa en cohort sjuksköterskestudenter under implementering av OER. Detta är ett av de första mer systematiska projekten i Sverige om införande av OER. Några första preliminära resultat kommer att kunna presenteras vid NU2014,hösten 2014.
