Many of the immigrant workers who came to Sweden from the sixties onwards, and their children, are stereotyped as ‘black skulls’. They are seen as silent, passive and mired in ‘traditional’ cultures, a stereotype that also pervades the trade union bureaucracies which are closely tied to the dominant Social Democratic Party. But interviews with activists in the FAI, a network of immigrant union act

World War I. The Battle of Verdun

Systematic calculations of atomic properties, using the Multiconfiguration and Configuration Interaction techniques, are discussed. Different quality criteria for atomic structure calculations are pointed out, and examples are given to illustrate these points. Among the properties discussed are oscillator strengths for resonance lines, magnetic dipole hyperfine structure constants, lifetimes of me

Prothrombin time (PT) is clinically important and is used to monitor oral anticoagulant therapy. To obtain PT results in international normalized ratio (INR), the current standardization procedure is complex and involves reference reagents. The PT of diluted plasma samples can be determined with a combined thromboplastin (the Owren-type procedure), but not necessarily with a plain thromboplastin (

Nuclei in the vicinity of the doubly-magic Sn-100 nucleus have been studied, and an extended level scheme for In-102 has been established. The level structure comprises both the negative parity states involving the nuh(11/2) orbital, and levels due to the breakup of the doubly-magic Sn-100 core. Results of a large-scale shell model calculation, using realistic and empirical effective interactions

A new device for coating a single levitated particle in a controllable environment is designed and tested. This enables fluidized bed processing to be simulated experimentally on a single-particle level. The device consists of a coating chamber, which contains a capillary tube for levitating the particle, a micro-dispenser for producing discrete drops of controlled size and velocity and a device f

A new chamber has been designed and constructed for the second beam line at the Lund Nuclear Microprobe facility, Sweden. The aim with the chamber is to perform standardized analyses with most of the nuclear analytical techniques (proton induced X-ray emission, particle elastic scattering analysis, proton induced gamma emission, nuclear reaction analysis, etc.) with a millimetre size beam. The bea

The topic of this thesis is technology and experimental studies of electron transport in Indium Arsenide (InAs) nanowires and InAs nanowire junctions. The aim of this work has been fabrication of nanoelectronic devices which have possibilities for future nanoelectronics. The first chapter gives an introduction to modern electronics and some important concepts. The second chapter presents an overvi

As a result of the reorganization of Lund Institute of Technology at Lund University, the new Department of Design Sciences was established. In focus of the establishment of this Department was the ambition to facilitate cross-disciplinary research within the design area. The project presented here is one of the first results of this ambition. In this project the overall objective is the increase

During the prolonged course of chronic viral infection there is a continuous reciprocal interaction between the host immune defence system and the viral immunogens, and viral genetic mutations capable of circumventing host immune defence could be selected for. Our observation of increasing prevalence of heterogeneity in the DNA sequence coding for the ‘a1 determinant of HBsAg in patients with pres
