Popular Abstract in Swedish Färger innehåller mer tillförlitlig information än vad bara skillnader i ljusintensitet gör. Det är därför inte svårt att förstå varför de allra flesta landlevande ryggradsdjur har färgseende. Några upplever en färgfattigare värld än vi människor, men många ser fler färgnyanser. På kvällen däremot gör bristen på ljus det svårt att se färger. Trots detta finns det nattakMost terrestrial vertebrates have colour vision, some perceive a less colourful world and others actually discriminate a wider colour spectrum than humans do. Still, we can all make use of the valuable colour information, which is more rigid than just brightness. However, at night when the light is dim, the lack of photons makes colour vision difficult. Nevertheless, some hawkmoths and bees can se

The residence time distribution (RTD) approach was used to characterize the flow and mixing behavior of burners. This analysis consists of injecting an inert gaseous tracer into the feed and measuring its change in concentration at various detection points. The responses are then used to characterize the flow behavior and, thus, the local mixing in the space delimited by the injection and probe po

To study the causes of agricultural declines in south-west Sweden, a multi-proxy study including pollen analysis, bog surface wetness indicators and aeolian sediment influx reconstructions was carried out on the Store Mosse Bog, situated on the coastal plain of Halland. Patterns of agricultural changes during the past 6,000 years from this study were compared to one additional site on the coastal

Problemformulering: Finns det någon poäng med att övertyga gästerna om varumärkets storhet om inte de anställda är med på tåget? Det har påpekats att utan motiverade och nöjda anställda riskerar varumärkets och ledningens löften till gästerna att bli tomma, då det är personalen som ska leverera den utlovade servicen. Vi anser det intressant att undersöka hur företag inom hotellbranschen arbetar me

Denna studie handlar om motivation hos anställda inom hotellbranschen samt hur chef och ledning ser på detta fenomen. Ämnet valdes eftersom att författarna till studien anser att personalen inom hotellbranschen är en mycket viktig resurs och bör ses som värdefulla redskap för att uppnå de mål som organisationen har. Avsikten med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur man inom ledningen på ett stort ho

The relation between clinical or histologic chorioamnionitis and early neonatal adverse neurologic outcome was investigated (n = 483). Histologic, but not clinical, evidence of chorioamnionitis was found to be a significant predictor of periventricular echodensity (odds ratio, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.8-3.2), echolucency (3.3; 1.9-5.6), ventriculomegaly (2.7; 1.8-4.2), intraventricular hemorrhage > or =3 (3

Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy is an established staging method in early breast cancer. After a negative biopsy, most institutions will not perform a completion axillary dissection. The present study reports the current axillary recurrence (AR) rate, overall and disease-free survival in the Swedish Multicenter Cohort Study. Methods: From 3534 patients with primary breast cancer <= 3 cm pro

We report the fabrication and characterisation of a non-compartmentalised, mediator and cofactor free glucose-oxygen biofuel cell based on adsorbed enzymes exhibiting direct bioelectrocatalysis, viz. cellobiose dehydrogenase from Dichomera saubinetii and laccase from Trametes hirsuta as the anodic and cathodic bioelements, respectively, with the following characteristics: an open-circuit voltage o

A graph based framework for fMRI brain activation mapping is presented. The approach exploits the spectral graph wavelet transform (SGWT) for the purpose of defining an advanced multi-resolutional spatial transformation for fMRI data. The framework extends wavelet based SPM (WSPM), which is an alternative to the conventional approach of statistical parametric mapping (SPM), and is developed specif

Here we report the annotated genome sequence of Moraxella catarrhalis strain RH4, a seroresistant-lineage strain isolated from the blood of an infected patient. This genome sequence will allow us to gain further insight into the genetic diversity of clinical M. catarrhalis isolates and will facilitate study of M. catarrhalis pathogenesis.

This article reflects on the video art-work "No Man... An Island" by Swedish artist Anna Brag, and on issues of representation of migration, visibility, and identity in television and other media.

In this paper we outline a method for systematically addressing needs assessment (QUALISEM-PEOPLE), alongside a case study of its use within a medium sized, German company. The method was designed in order to provide guidance in analysing skill and role competences, particularly when e-learning systems are being considered for training purposes. The method proved to be successful within the compan

Video available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P8JTEygNcU What are the differences and similarities between the playing techniques of the siku and the quena in Peru and Bolivia, and in addition, the ways these techniques are taught? This is an investigation into the differences and similarities concerning playing techniques of the quena (Andes end-blown flute) and the siku (Andes panpipes) b

The aim of this Master's thesis is to study the public library identity from a brand perspective, how the public library brand identitity is communicated through blogs and what is communicated in them. The authors analyse the public library identity through selected concepts and a model within Aaker´s and Kapferer´s branding theories. These theories have been applied on literature and blogs a

A match-action cut in feature films connects two shots of a single continuous movement. This type of editing often goes unnoticed and is arguably the most effective form of continuity editing. However, the literature offers little agreement on editing best practice and, by implication, on how our perceptual system deals with disjointed moving images. Studies have suggested that frames should overl
