From the point of view of each individual’s sense-making, an organization is an emergent property of inter-individual sense-making processes and activities. The organization is a result of emergence from individual sense-making perspectives. A critically informed approach to research involves recognition / understanding of this emergence. Without the recognition of the uniqueness of each particula
The purpose of this thesis is double. First, it will be shown that a number of problems of the syntax of ancient, literary Italian lend themselves readily to an analysis in terms of the Theory of Principles and Parameters. Second, the Italian data, supported by comparative remarks on modern Romance and Germanic, confirm the essential correctness of one particular version of the above theory namely
The way the fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber is one of the most important parameters for the power output and the generation of emissions in the combustion of liquid fuels. The interaction beween the turbulent gas flow field and the liquid fuel droplets, the vaporisation of them and the mixing of the gaseous fuel with the ambient air that are vital parameters in the combustion proces
Background: The immunosuppressive effects of thiopurine drugs are mainly mediated through their intracellular metabolism into active 6-thioguanine nucleotide (6-TGN) metabolites, which are incorporated into DNA. Erythrocyte 6-TGN (E-6TGN) levels have been proposed as an instrument for monitoring treatment. The aim of the study was to use erythrocyte E-6TGN, methylated mercaptopurine (MeMP) metabol
In this thesis, we first consider the phenomenology of R-parity violating supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. Specifically, a large number of Lepton and Baryon Number violating decays of sparticles to particles are implemented in the Pythia event generator. The augmented generator has then been used to study event properties of these models, mainly at the LHC. During these studies, th
In his dissertation Blomberg (2004) investigates into how the care manager reform is incorporated into organizational practice in the care of older people in Sweden. He shows that it is made through different lines of argumentations following one another. Through applying neo-institutional theory this can be understood as “solutions seeking problems to solve” rather than the other way around. In t
Popular Abstract in Swedish Människan är uppbyggd av ett stort antal celler. För att kroppens olika organ ska kunna samverka och för att kroppen ska kunna fungera som en helhet, måste de olika cellerna kommunicera med varandra. Cellernas kommunikationssystem är uppbyggt av mottagare, s.k. receptorer, på de olika cellernas yta och signaler som skickas runt mellan cellerna. Receptorerna och signaleThe chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 are required, together with CD4, for the entry of HIV-1 into target cells. CCR5 using HIV-1 dominates during transmission and the asymptomatic phase of infection. During progression, virus phenotypes with the ability to use CXCR4 emerge in about 50% of infected individuals. Individuals continuously harbouring CCR5-restricted isolates still progress to AIDS. D
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kavitation uppstår när trycket är så lågt så att vätska övergår till gas och det är ett problem i många vattenkraftverk på grund av att det kan försämra turbinverkingsgraden samt skada närliggande fasta ytor. Denna avhandling behandlar de numeriska svårigheter som man måste komma tillrätta med för att kunna datorsimulera kavitation i vattenturbiner. Dessa beror på den tCavitation is a problem in many hydroelectric power plants since it can cause adverse effects on performance and damage to nearby solid surfaces. The concerns of this thesis are the numerical aspects of flow simulations in cavitating hydraulic turbines which contain several difficulties: turbulent and complex flows, steady and moving parts of the geometry, bubble transport and cavitation developme
Methanol is a genuine candidate on the alternative fuel market for internal combustion engines, especially within the heavy-duty transportation sector. Partially premixed combustion (PPC) engine concept, known for its high efficiency and low emission rates, can be promoted further with methanol fuel due to its unique thermo-physical properties. The low stoichiometric air to fuel ratio allows to ut
This paper investigates the heat transfer on the outlet guide vane (OGV) surface and its endwall region. The Reynolds number is fixed at 300,000 and the flow is subsonic. The inlet flow angle is varied from +25°(on-design), to +40°and -25°(off-design). Experiments were conducted in a linear cascade test facility using thermochromic liquid crystal technique. Numerical simulations using RANS were ca
Popular Abstract in Swedish Att försöka lokalisera gener som ger upphov till sjukdomar är ingenting nytt. De första försöken gjordes redan i början av 1900-talet. Idén är ganska enkel. Man undersöker i vilka delar av genomet (arvsmassan) som generna tenderar till att skilja sig åt mellan sjuka och friska individer, men samtidigt delas av de sjuka individerna. Problemet är att det mänskliga genometThis thesis is interdisciplinary between Mathematical Statistics, Genetics, and Medicine. It mainly consists of topics in mathematical modelling of the correlation of inheritance of genes and disease in a family, a method called linkage analysis. It is organized as follows. First, a short introduction with the relevant background is given and then four papers are included. The first paper discuss
Wall-bounded turbulent flows are central to a wide range of engineering applications, where surface roughness can significantly influence both frictional drag and convective heat transfer. While the momentum effects of roughness have been significantly advanced in the literature, the thermal counter parts remain insufficiently understood. This study addresses the critical gap in understanding roug
Aviation currently contributes about 3% of the world’s CO2 emissions, 5% of the global warming, and 35% of the trade. Reducing the emissions and the global warming from aviation is thus essential. Many approaches to achieve this goal are underway, including H2, fuel cells, and batteries, but also by replacing the fossil jet fuel with sustainable jet fuel from non-fossil feedstocks. This involves m
33 och 36 §§ i lagen (1915:218) om avtal och andra rättshandlingar på förmögenhetsrättens område (AvtL) är båda generalklausuler som utgör en del av avtalsrättens ogiltighetsregler, men 36 § AvtL har ett betydligt större tillämpningsområde. Av detta skäl har 33 § AvtL beskrivits som i princip helt överflödig. Relativt nyligen kom dock en dom från PMÖD, där 33 § AvtL med framgång åberopades för attBoth section 33 and section 36 of the Swedish Contracts Act (1915:218) are general clauses which are a part of the field of contract law, but section 36 has a much greater scope of application. For this reason, section 33 has been described as redundant. However, in a recent judgement from the Patent and Market Court of Appeal section 33 was successfully used to force a gambling company to pay bac
This thesis is about the (anti-)novel Den svarta solen (’The Black Sun’), one of the Swedish experimental author Lotta Lotass’ (b. 1964) most challenging works. It contains 340 texts, all describing different interiors in a monotonous and similar manner, which are arranged as a “Choose Your Own Adventure” gamebook. This turns the novel into a labyrinth, which the reader more or less literally can
In accordance with the doctrine of privity of contract, a contract can only confer rights and impose obligations on the contracting parties and only they can seek enforcement of the contract. With regard to liability insurance this means that the injured party must present his or her claim to the insured tortfeasor who then in turn may or may not chose to utilise the insurance. The primary purpose
Due to the current return of federal aspirations among European politicians in relation to the current economic crisis and integration dead end, this thesis is interested in examining if the United States of Europe, meaning a federal union of the Member States of the European Union (EU), would be a desired state of integration or if it is still a federalistic utopia. Using the theoretical approach
Om ett hus använder betydligt mindre energi än gällande byggnormskrav är det ett lågenergihus. Det finns ett par olika typer av lågenergihus, ett passivhus är ett av dessa. Ett sådant hus är konstruerat för att använda så lite aktiva värmekällor (exempelvis radiatorer) som möjligt. Istället är huset byggt med bland annat god värmeisolering, solfångare och effektivt ventilationssystem. För att få k
