After a review of previous research on Hebrews cncerning the structure, basic themes and the way the author characterizes his own work in the book as a word of exhortation, various methods of analyzing structure and themes are discussed and evluated. An exegetical and rhetorical analysis of Hebrews 1 and 2 leads to the conclusion that Heb 1:1-4 is the rhetorical exordium and 1:5–2:18 the narratio

Little is known about the genus Philornis (comprising ~50 species), a group of muscid flies that parasitise birds and may be highly detrimental to host nestlings. Philornis species affect at least 115 species of bird, particularly in the Neotropics. The main distribution of Philornis is in Central and South America, extending to the southern United States. Larvae of the genus Philornis reside in b

Lärobok i grundläggande komplex analys (och serier), i första hand avsedd för civilingenjörsutbildningar. Boken är lättläst, utan att göra avkall på den matematiska noggrannheten och stringensen. För många studenter är kursen i funktionsteori det första mötet med modern matematisk analys, boken är skriven på ett sådant sätt att läsaren får så mycket hjälp som möjligt att gradvis vänja sig vid det

This study looks into a concept of Supply Chain Management that has received a lot of interest in both industry and academia, Vendor Managed Inventory, a concept that changes the traditional order-to-delivery process from having a customer placing orders to a supplier, to instead having the supplier be responsible for placing orders and keeping customer inventory levels within agreed limits. Most

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

Transcriptomics analysis revealed that genes involved in hepatic de novo cholesterol synthesis were down-regulated in fed HSL-null mice that had been on high-fat diet (HFD) for 6 months. This finding prompted a further analysis of cholesterol metabolism in HSL-null mice, which was performed in fed and 16-h fasted mice on a normal chow diet (ND) or a HFD regimen. Plasma cholesterol was elevated in

Although brain tumors are classified and treated based upon their histology, the molecular factors involved in the development of various tumor types remain unknown. In this study, we show that the type and order of genetic events directs the development of gliomas, central nervous system primitive neuroectodermal tumors, and atypical teratoid/rhabdoid-like tumors from postnatal mouse neural stem/

A prospective study of incident hepatitis C in 515 gastroenterology patients was conducted by follow-up sampling at 3-6 months after admission to the gastroenterology unit to test for antibodies to hepatitis C virus and for hepatitis C virus RNA. Universal precautions were implemented, and the use of multidose vials had been banned in this unit. Despite 5,964 exposure-days for several risk factors
