1500-och 1600-talen var en period av maktkamp om herraväldet i Norden, men också en period av statsbildning, centralisering och stora samhällsförändringar. Dessa händelser hade också stor effekt på gränsbygdens innevånare. Gränsbygdernas politiska betydelse för det tidigmoderna Euorpas stater är ett alltjämt ganska outforskat område. Denna bok tar sin utgångspunkt i den östdanska gräsnbefolkningen

Memorials and places of ritual, such as funeral monuments, roadside memorials and cemeteries, can be said to reveal the politics of religious space as in the tension between sacred and secular and between private and public interests. At the same time they also reflect a given society’s religious structures, cultural differences and social orderings, as well as the changes in these matters over ti

Purpose of this paper The purpose of this paper is to explore the role and potential of packaging in order to obtain more sustainable goods flows. Design/methodology/approach An explorative research approach based on case survey methodology in which description, exploration and analysis of 34 reported cases are made. The empirical focus is goods flows in fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) supply ch

Nuclear structure is studied using beta-decay reactions as a probe and focusing on medium-heavy proton-rich nuclei. One of the included articles is a systematic study covering a major part of the nuclear chart, especially searching for nuclei which may be sensitive to sub-MeV neutrinos.

The problem of controlling a system with constant but unknown parameters is considered. The analysis is restricted to discrete time single-input single-output systems. An algorithm obtained by combining a least squares estimator with a minimum variance regulator computed from the estimated model is analyzed. The main results are two theorems which characterize the closed loop system obtained under

Popular Abstract in Swedish Titeln på den här avhandlingen är ”Nukleinsyror som läkemedel och mål för läkemedel, med fokus på anticanceraktiva platinaföreningar och små interferande RNA”. Nukleinsyror är mer kända som sina förkortningar DNA och RNA. Anticanceraktiva platinaföreningar är en typ av läkemedel mot cancer. Små interfererande RNA är en slags reglermekanism för hur mycket av ett visst prTo ensure that patients receive a safe and effective treatment, it is important to understand how drugs interact with and affect molecules within a cell. Here, evaluation of platinum based drugs and their ability to interfere with nucleic acid functions is presented. The main focus of this thesis has been to evaluate whether siRNA efficiency can be modified by two clinically used anticancer active

The present chapter inquires into to the definition of trafficking in the 2000 Trafficking Protocol. The concept of trafficking seems to offer a self-evident point of departure to broach inequality and migration in the international domain. It emphasises the inequality between trafficker and the trafficked person, and States task themselves to side with the latter - and weaker - party in that rela

Fission track analysis (FTA) was developed to be applied to ultra-low levels of 239Pu in bioassay samples. An analytical protocol was established for the FTA processing. The detection limit was determined to 1.5 µBq and the calibration constant was 24 fission fragments per µBq 239Pu. Naturally occuring nuclides of thorium and uranium, present in biological and environmental samples, did not interf

Evaluating SAR for multi-antennas is difficult and impractical due to the arbitrary power allocation and phase of the electric fields from different antennas causing the total field to change randomly. In this context, a simplified approach was recently proposed for assessing SAR when more than one antenna is transmitting simultaneously. The metric of time averaged simultaneous peak SAR (TASPS) wa

To study and simulate cognitive development, it is useful to find a natural domain where many cognitive functions are needed and, but where the complexity of the environment and task is reasonable. We suggest that childrens games constitute a suitable domain. The ability to play is a very fundamental part of children's daily life and it is crucial for the future development of our behaviors in Bek

The software process simulation research field has been growing in recent years. Much effort has been used for developing detailed software process simulation models. However, few studies are available characterizing the effect process simulation models could have when introduced to an organization. Furthermore, most published work in this area has been focused on the effect that the models have f
