Many modern office buildings have highly glazed facades. Their energy efficiency and indoor climate is, however, being questioned. Therefore, when a modern office building (new construction) with larger glazing areas was planned, an investigation was carried out to determine the possibilities to: - efficiently use the increased access to daylight and thereby reduce the use of electricity for light

The article discusses if it is possible to bring Victor Turner’s work on liminality and ritual together with Roy Rappaport’s thought-provoking ritual theory and approach the contemporary ecological crisis in new ways. Specifically, it examine if we creatively can employ Turner’s concept of liminality and his understanding of a liminal passage as a metaphorical vision of re-embedding humanity withi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Extrakt från växten Artemisia annua har dokumenterats för sina anti-malaria egenskaper. Substansen är en mycket effektiv medicin mot malaria och hjälper även mot de former där multi-resistens utvecklats.1979 presenterades strukturen på den aktiva substansen. Den benämns artemisinin och är uppbygd av femton kol innehållandes en peroxid-brygga (två syre kopplade till varaPlants produce a multitude of different compounds that may have biotic effects. Artemisia annua, produces a compound used as a drug against multi-drug-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite causing malaria. The compound, artemisinin, is a sesquiterpene and is an essential component for the production of artemisinin drugs against malaria. In a first critical step of the biosynthes

Phenomenology and hermeneutics have long been promoted as sources of inspiration for better information system (IS) design. Practical approaches to applying these philosophical ideas have been awaited for just as long. This paper offers a review of one practitioner’s experience in devising a theoretical and methodological ‘toolkit’ via which these disciplines’ principles have been applied in actua

Popular Abstract in Swedish Traditionellt har effekten av behandling inom kärlkirurgi främst utvärderats med objektiva mått, som till exempel beräkning av ankelindex och gångsträcka. Dessa data ger värdefull information men de återger inte hur patientens klarar sitt dagliga liv eller hur behandling återverkar på deras livskvalitet. Detta styrks i tidigare forskning som visar att korrelationen mellThe aim of this thesis was to assess quality of life in patients with varying degrees of lower limb ischaemia before and after revascularisation, to assess quality of life in relation to the degree of ischaemia and the respondents’ sense of coherence (SOC) and in comparison with a healthy control group, and to compare two different quality of life instruments regarding their usefulness as outcome

Popular Abstract in Swedish Många av de äldre patienterna som är inlagda på sjukhus eller som bor i särskilda boenden inom äldreomsorgen är idag undernärda. En sammanställning av Socialstyrelsen över svenska studier under de senaste 20 åren visade på en genomsnittlig frekvens av undernäring på 28%. Ett otillräckligt kostintag leder till undernäring. Kroniska sjukdomar är ofta en bakomliggande orsThe aim of this thesis was to develop and test the feasibility of a dietary record routine, where nursing staff assess the patient’s food and fluid intake based on standardised portion sizes and household measurements. The energy intake (EI) was studied with a dietary record in 61 geriatric patients. During the 6-month follow-up 11 patients died and an EI below median (1378 kcal) was associated w

Gemensamhetsanläggningar blir allt viktigare för att ordna goda och välfungerande miljöer i byggandet. Därför blir deras ekonomiska betydelse allt större. Vi tror att gemensamhetsanläggningar och samfällighetsföreningar är högintressanta för många på fastighetsmarknaden: mark- och exploaterings-ansvariga inom kommuner, jurister, banker, bygg- och fastighetsbolag samt fastighetsmäklare. Vi strävar

The fundamental method of reducing friction and wear in metal to metal contact manufacturing processes like forging, extrusion, sheet metal forming etc. is based upon surface separation. The separation is usually obtained by adding different types of lubricants to the process. In this work, graphite nano platelets (GNp) powder has been used as a lubrication additive to explore and evaluate the inf

Popular Abstract in Swedish INTRODUKTION Aminosyror är en grupp små molekyler som finns i våra celler. Totalt finns det tjugo olika aminosyror, vilka kan binda till varandra i långa kedjor varvid de bildar proteiner (äggviteämnen). Proteiner ansvarar för en lång rad funktioner i organismen och varje cell i en organism måste därför kunna syntetisera ett par tusen olika proteiner för att kroppen ska1-microglobulin is a small glycoprotein present in plasma and in tissues surrounding the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. a1-microglobulin is a member of the lipocalin protein family and exhibits several of the typical traits of a lipocalin; it binds an unknown ligand which causes the brown color of the protein, it forms complexes with various different proteins and there have been indica
