This article deals with specific words in an old lullaby, a rhyme recorded in Scania, Sweden in the 19th century. The lullaby has also been recorded in Denmark and Norway. The aim of the article is to place the specific lullaby in a historical context and demonstrate how to use a comparative method when analysing mythological phenomena. The author’s thesis is that only a word or two in a simple lu
Mål och syfte: Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka byggherrens behov och nytta av att styra bygglogistiken i ett tidigt skede samt förstå hur hanteringen av bygglogistiken kan påverka valet av upphandlingsstrategi. Problemformulering: Idag finns det en gråzon i byggbranschen mellan logistiklösningarna och de behov som byggherren ska uppfylla. Byggherren har stora möjligheter att påverPurpose: The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate the developer’s needs and benefits of managing building logistics at an early stage and understand how the management of construction logistics can influence the choice of procurement strategy. Problem: Today, there is a gray area in the construction industry between the logistics solutions and the needs that the developer must fulfill.
Accumulation of acetate tends to reduce growth and recombinant protein production in E. coli cultivations. Formation of acetate can be avoided by a proper substrate feeding strategy, but most strategies require considerable process knowledge to work well. A feedback strategy is presented that requires minimal a priori information. The key idea is to exploit a characteristic change in the cell meta
Absolute quantification of cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume and mean transit time is desirable in the determination of tissue viability thresholds and tissue at risk in acute ischaemic stroke, as well as in cases where a global reduction in cerebral blood flow is expected, for example, in patients with dementia or depressive disorders. Absolute values are also useful when comparing seque
During recent years, several spectacular collapses happened in large timber structures and the question is what can be done to prevent future failures. The main hypothesis for this project has been that quality assurance, control systems and improved training may be necessary, since the unwanted events are primarily related to human errors. A survey of failures in 127 timber structures has been ma
Popular Abstract in Swedish Is är något som de flesta människor i Sverige kommer i kontakt med dagligen,om det är för att kyla en dryck eller ta sig en glass, är det något som de flesta är bekanta med. Om en vattenlösning eller en vattensuspension kyls under fryspunkten för vatten ( 0 °C) så börjar iskristaller att bildas. Speciellt med denna process är att iskristallerna som bildas består endast Macroporous hydrogels are regarded as interesting materials both within biotechnology and biomedicine due to their properties. These materials can be prepared from a wide range of synthetic or naturally occurring compounds using a number of different techniques for their production. For this thesis, cryostructuring was used to prepare macroporous hydrogels, often named cryogels. The work utilized
This study investigates the feminisation of the Swedish commercial bank sector between 1885 and 1937, during which time the female labour share increased from 10 to 27 per cent. More specifically, it is examined why the banks hired women, and why they did not hire women to an even greater extent. The study employs a queue-theoretical framework, and a micro-level panel database constructed from the
Growing concerns about climate change and depleting fossil feedstocks are driving a shift within the chemical industry from energy-intensive processes to more environmentally sound and sustainable processing using renewable feedstocks. One such process is the utilization of lipases for the chemo-enzymatic epoxidation of vegetable oils and fatty acids. The lipase mediated route for production of fa
The need for harmonizing laboratory results is particularly intense in the field of quantitative protein assays in consideration of the clinical impact of specific protein measurements and their relevance in monitoring disease. We report the efforts made by the Committee on Plasma Proteins of the IFCC Scientific Division to achieve worldwide comparability in plasma protein results. We focus on the

Car developers use digital human modeling tools to analyze and visualize car interiors in relation to human characteristics before the vehicles are actually constructed. Developers, reviewers and users of human simulation tools often claim that such tools can reduce development time and costs. In car industry companies today, human simulation tools are used by a single or a few experts in an infor
This dissertation deals with analog techniques at both the architecture and circuit design levels for designing power efficient linear radio-frequency (RF) transmitters. The use of nonlinear analog integrated circuits to implement certain critical signal processing functions for the multiplicative feedback and LINC techniques is investigated with the aim of improving the system performance in term
Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla levande organismer består av celler som tillsammans med molekyler generellt kallade extracellulär matrix bildar en vävnad. Celler innehåller fyra huvudgrupper av byggstenar: socker, fettsyror, aminosyror och nukleotider, vilka i tur och ordning bildar kolhydrater, fetter, proteiner och nukleinsyror. I vävnaderna pågår en ständig omsättning av byggstenarna och molekThis thesis describes structural and functional studies of alpha-1-microglobulin (a1m), a 26 kDa plasma and tissue protein that is evolutionarily well-conserved and belongs to the lipocalin superfamily. The lipocalins are polypeptides of 160-190-amino acids that are folded into an 8-stranded beta-barrel forming a pocket with a hydrophobic interior. a1m carries heterogeneous yellow-brown chromophor
Popular Abstract in Swedish Mycken möda har under de senaste årtiondena lagts ner på forskning om försurande utsläpp och dess skadliga effekter på skogar, vattendrag och människor. Kritiska belastningsgränser, i folkmun kallat "vad naturen tål", har tagits fram och använts i europeiska förhandlingar om utsläppbegränsningar. För skogsekosystem baseras de kritiska belastningsgränserna för försurandeAcidification caused by emissions of Nitrogen and Sulphur and associated adverse effects on forest ecosystems has been an issue on the political agenda for decades. Temporal aspects of soil acidification and/or recovery can be investigated using the soil chemistry model SAFE, a dynamic version of the steady-state model PROFILE used in critical loads assessment on the national level, e.g. for Swede
The congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a rapidly expanding group of metabolic syndromes with a wide symptomatology and severity. They all stem from deficient N-glycosylation of proteins. To date the group contains 18 different subtypes: 12 of Type I (disrupted synthesis of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor) and 6 of Type II (malfunctioning trimming/processing of the protein-b
Ibis paper deals with various methods of improved cooling of primary water in district heating (DH) substations and evaluates the benefit of an improved cooling from the perspective of the construction of an appropriate customer accounting method. The general benefit of an improved cooling is well-known: Less thermal stresses in pipelines, lowered heat and pumping losses and increased capacity in
Improvement of cancer treatment is a major challenge of medical research. Despite the immense efforts made in the improvement of diagnosis and treatment, cancer remains a major concern and cause of morbidity and mortality. Most of the modern anti-neoplastic therapies have severe side effects, and tumor cells often develop drug resistance. There is promise in the new generation of treatments (gene
