Solen skiner, fåglarna kvittrar och blommorna doftar. Den bild av naturen som framträder i svaren på frågelistan "Naturen för mig" rör sig i hög grad om det vackra, det fina och det trevliga. Men i mörkret lurar vildsvin och mördarsniglar.

We study various differential equations subject to constraints. In the first part we study a partial differential equation, Burgers equation, subject to time-periodicity constraint. The forcing term is time-periodic and may be highly irregular. We prove an existence and uniqueness result which in a sense is optimal since we show that the operator corresponding to the Burgers equation is a diffe

Divorce cases in the Karlskrona Admiralty Consistory are compared to those in the City of Stockholm. The result is that the mobility in Karlskrona was as high as in Stockholm, but without tendencies to religious or social separation from the Church. A social control was hard to maintain among seamen and wives, but stronger than in the more diversified capital.

Inom lärarutbildningen vid Högskolan i Halmstad har handledning och examination av lärarstudenternas examensarbete nyligen förändrats. Studenterna handleds nu i grupper av handledarpar, vilka i sin tur ingår i ett lag som coachas av en kollega. Examinationen av examensarbetena har också förändrats i och med att examinatorer som är externa i förhållande till handledningen införts. Vidare har nya be

The rapid development of wireless sensor network and RFID technologies offers a wide range of novel applications and services. In this paper, we present a two-layered wireless network for warehouses and supermarkets to monitor goods storage and sale, and assist for quality management and market analysis. The hierarchical architecture uses IEEE 802.15.4a impulse ultra-wideband radio (IR-UWB) commun

This book chapter discusses intersectionality in relation to heteronormativity, and reminds readers of the non-white origins of intersectionality as a theoretical and political concept. The terms whiteness and heteronormativity are proposed as an excellent theoretical and political couple in contemporary scholarship.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder associated with the translocation t(9;22)(q34;q11) and progresses from a relatively indolent chronic phase (CP) to an accelerated phase (AP) and finally to the more aggressive blast crisis (BC). The general aim of this thesis was to identify and characterize genetic abnormalities occurring at disease progression of CML using molecular

Baron Erland Nordenskiöld was born on July 19th, 1877. As a son of the great explorer Adolf Nordenskiöld he was predestined to follow the road of scientific pursuit. Moving from the field of the natural sciences to anthropology, Nordenskiöld took the chair as professor of "general and comparative ethnography" in the early 1920's. This position at the University of Gothenburg marked the beginning o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom sjukvården används strålning för att behandla cancer. Vid strålbehandling är det viktigt att man i förväg vet precis hur strålningen ska ges till patienten för att resultatet av behandlingen skall bli bra. Ett hjälpmedel som används för detta är ett datorprogram (dosplaneringssystem) som, med utgångspunkt från patientens anatomi, beräknar hur varje enskild patient Gel dosimetry is a new dosimetry method applied in radiation therapy. Gel dosimeters consist of a radiation sensitive gel, which can integrate absorbed doses from several radiation sources or beams. The dose to the gel can be evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a procedure that is the focus of the present thesis. A robust tool for the evaluation of the nonuniformity in MRI has been dev
