Popular Abstract in Swedish De flesta människor bibehåller en relativt konstant kroppsvikt genom livet trots att mängden mat och motion varierar från dag till dag. En konstant kroppsvikt betyder att energiintag (mat och dryck) och energiutgifter (värme och rörelse) i genomsnitt är lika stora, d.v.s. kroppens energibalans är i jämvikt. Övervikt är ett resultat av positiv energibalans, vilket innebäHunger and satiety are the results of complex neural events that involve several neurotransmitters and peptides. Enterostatin is an appetite-regulating peptide released in the intestine in response to fat ingestion. Enterostatin specifically decreases fat intake, but has also metabolic effects like inhibition of insulin secretion. Enterostatin has both central and gastrointestinal site of action,

Autonomic computing was proposed as a promising solution to overcome the complexity of modern systems, which is causing management operations to become increasingly difficult for human beings. This work proposes the Adaptation Manager, a comprehensive framework to implement autonomic managers capable of pursuing some of the objectives of autonomic computing (i.e., self-optimization and self-healin

Det vetenskapliga arbetet och dess resultat blir alltmer betydelsefulla i det moderna samhället. Kraven som ställs på vetenskapliga undersökningar blir därmed högre. De som gör vetenskapliga undersökningar måste därför ha en större insikt i det vetenskapliga tänkande som ligger till grund för deras arbete. Denna bok visar på vilka kunskapsteoretiska och metafysiska grunder det vetenskapliga tänkan

Popular Abstract in Swedish Journalistiken var genom alla år en vital del av Vilhelm Mobergs gärning, men den utgör en del av hans författarskap som inte tidigare ägnats en separat vetenskaplig studie. Avhandlingens syfte är att genom en studie av ett tidigare förbisett material bidra till att ge en fördjupad bild av ett centralt svenskt författarskap. Avhandlingen belyser Mobergs opinionsbildandeVilhelm Moberg (1898-1973) is one of the most well-known Swedish writers of the 20th century. In this dissertation attention is directed to his extensive journalism, a less well-known side of his authorship. The dissertation brings out and sheds light on a large number of his newspaper articles. An equally important part of his writing is his short controversial pamphlets. He also gave a large num

Popular Abstract in Swedish Egenskapsorienterade system (eng: property-oriented) är en ny slags informationssystem som är baserade på begrepp för egenskaper istället för begrepp för ting eller klasser av ting. Genom att fokusera på egenskaper, kan de egenskapsorinterade systemen göras mer flexibla och mer lämpade för de tidiga skedena av design än de traditionella klassorienterade systemen kan varProperty-oriented systems are a new kind of information systems that are based on concepts of properties instead of concepts of things or classes of things. By focusing on properties, the property-oriented systems become more flexible and more suited to the dynamic early stages of design than the traditional class-oriented systems can be. The theoretical framework for property-oriented systems de

Mapping settlement patterns in a time perspective of several thousand years is a complicated task. The chapter deals with methods for doing so, from prehistoric activity to the 20th century.

Since the publication of O'Regan and Noë's original article in Behavioral and Brain Sciences in 2001, which first set out the sensorimotor account by which sensory experience and motor engagement are inextricably intertwined, there have been not just one but many sensorimotor accounts. However, in many ways that original article remains the canonical account. In this paper, I discuss a particular

This thesis explores Martin Luther´s theology of prayer. His catechetical writings (written between 1516-1535) and the three longer series of lectures on the Psalms (written 1513-1515, 1519-1521 and 1532-1535) are studied. The thesis explains how Luther´s experiences through prayer and theology work as a coherent whole, where formulations from different areas (for instance anthropology and ecclesi

DescriptionThis thesis consists of two papers. The first gives a game-theoretical treatment of the institutional homogenization of value-oriented firms. It explains why intrinsically motivated, value-oriented firms like non-profits may become similar to for-profit firms in terms of organization and norms. It highlights and explains the pairs: value-oriented and flat organizations in contrast to va
