This article treats the organization and ideology of the Salamullah-movement in Indonesia, a New Religious Movement established in the post-Suharto era. A characteristic feature of the movement is its extensive usage of new technology in the dissemination of its religious ideas.

Large eddy simulations are performed to study the effects of wind-wave direction misalignment of the neutral marine atmospheric boundary layer over a wavy wall. The results show that the wind-wave misalignment has a significant effect on the velocity profiles and the pressure fluctuation over the wave surface. These effects are not confined to the near wave surface region but extend over the whole

Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteiner, eller äggviteämnen som de också kallas, har viktiga funktioner i kroppen. Proteiner är uppbyggda som långa, ofta sammanveckade kedjor. Byggstenarna i dessa kedjor kallas aminosyror. Ett givet protein kännetecknas av sin unika aminosyrekombination och ofta ingår flera av de 20, i människan förekommande, aminosyrorna i ett protein. I kroppen finns också kortareThe aim of this thesis work is to understand and be able to control polypeptide conformation and interactions at interfaces and in solution by changing the solution conditions. For this purpose simple model polypeptides, so-called polyamino acids, have been investigated at the air-liquid interface, as well as in aqueous solutions. The influence of subphase characteristics, spreading solvent and po

Popular Abstract in Swedish För över 100 år sedan upptäckte den franske naturalisten Jean-Henri Fabre att en nattfjärilshona som han hade på sitt skrivbord lyckades attrahera åtskilliga hanar, trots att honan var gömd bakom ett skynke och hannarna således inte kunde se henne. Fabre gissade att det var någon för honom okänd doft som låg bakom mysteriet. I slutet av 1950-talet identifierades det förMoths (Lepidoptera) are dependent on female produced pheromones, chemical signals, for attracting a mate. Pheromones are most commonly made up by saturated and/or unsaturated fatty acid derived alcohols, acetates, and/or aldehydes that are produced by a set of enzymes in the female pheromone gland. The enzymes involved are fatty acyl desaturases, pheromone gland fatty acyl reductases (pgFAR), β-ox

Renewable energy will play an important role in the transition to a sustainable energy system. With an increased maturity of renewable energy technologies, issues concerning implementation are becoming more important. The decisions and actions of municipalities and other local actors have a significant influence on the implementation of renewable energy. In this thesis challenges to implementation

Eye and gaze tracking have a long history but there is still plenty of room for further development. In this concluding chapter for Section 6, we consider future perspectives for the development of eye and gaze tracking.

Drivkraften i denna studien har varit att utveckla en föreläsningsmetodik som skapar engagemang och utrymme för reflektion vilket är en förutsättning för lärande. Föreläsningstillfällena bygger på principerna för ett erfarenhetsbaserat lärande med visuellt stöd i form av filmvisning, bildspel, interaktiva övningar och bildbaserade åhörarkopior. Resultaten visar att föreläsningsmetodiken upplevdes
