This work stages a conversation between the French phenomenological philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty and philosophical theology, specifically as developed along an Augustinian trajectory. As the conversation unfolds, the outline of a new ontology is progressively sketched out – one that seeks to preserve the integrity of human beings as part of the natural world, as well as the integrity of the n

The scope of this study is to compare John Philoponus and Cosmas Indicopleustes, two Christian individuals of different backgrounds and belonging to different fractions of the Church in the turbulent time for the Church in sixth century Alexandria. Any Christian is likely to feel the need to define how the tenets of his or her faith relate to contemporary science. As long as Christianity has exis
For simulating mobile MIMO performance, local area SNR variations can be reproduced if small-scale fading distributions are known, transmit bandwidths can be chosen appropriately if flat fading bandwidths are known, and, assuming plane waves, spatial covariance functions can be estimated if power-weighted histograms for angles of arrival (AOA) and angles of departure (AOD) are known. This paper re
The book is the result of a pilot project initiated by the Swedish Film Institute and it deals with films from one specific part of Sweden, Västmanland. After a brief introduction of the project and its background, two separate case studies are presented. The first investigates the ways in which questions of heritage and identity were presented and visualized on a regional level in Sweden in the 1
This paper analyzes and explains the mechanism behind long-term voltage collapse in the NORDIC32 test system. For this purpose a simplified test system called N5area, reflecting the key voltage collapse characteristics of NORDIC32 is proposed. Applying control algorithms is much easier in N5area than in NORDIC32. Load recovery and generator excitation current limiter actions which are two importan

I denna fokusgruppsstudie har sjukvårdens medarbetare studerats. Fokus för undersökningen har varit den äldre medarbetaren i syfte att undersöka olika faktorers betydelse för ett förlängt arbetsliv. Vad är anledningen till att en del medarbetare arbetar till de är 65 år och äldre, medan andra slutar sitt yrkesverksamma liv redan innan de fyllt 60 år? Ur intervjuerna utkristalliserades vissa faktor
Popular Abstract in Swedish Cellulosa är ett av de vanligast förekommande biologiska ämnena på jorden och en mycket viktig råvara. Cellulosa är en polymer, uppbyggd av glukosmolekyler som är bundna till varandra i kedjor. Kedjorna kan bli mycket långa och består ofta av flera tusen glukosmolekyler. Eftersom cellulosakedjor är lineära kan de packa sig parallellt med varandra och bilda styva fibrer Soluble derivatives of cellulose have become increasingly important in industrial products e.g. in pharmaceutical applications and in technical dispersions. The polymer characteristics of modified celluloses are to a high degree determined by the substituent distribution along the polymeric backbone. The distribution will be more or less heterogeneous both due to the fact that polymers from renewa
Popular Abstract in Swedish Prosodi definieras som talets rytmiska, dynamiska och melodiska egenskaper (Bruce, 1998). Till de prosodiska dragen hör längd (kvantitet), betoning (tryck- och ordaccent), ton, satsmelodi (intonation) och gränser (tomrum i talvågen). Dessa drag används i kommunikativt syfte för att särskilja betydelser hos ord och orddelar, för att framhäva och gruppera delar av talet oThe aim of this thesis was to explore prosodic problems in Swedish children with language impairment (LI). In the first study, 29 children with LI participated. They were assessed with an assessment procedure for prosody at the word, phrase and discourse levels, developed within this thesis. The results showed that 41% of the children had prosodic problems to some extent. In addition, reliability

In this paper microstrip antenna for 60 GHz on LTCC is presented. Special techniques are used to satisfy the antenna specification in wide bandwidth (7 GHz, from 57 GHz to 64 GHz) and high gain (15 dBi). An increase in bandwidth is achieved by using aperture the coupling and the multilayer structure. Gain is increased by using parasitic patches which increase the total antenna aperture. In paper w
Popular Abstract in Swedish En studie av hur glokokortikoider hämmar inflammation Glukokortikosteroider, varav kortison är den mest kända, är hormoner som reglerar många funktioner i kroppen och även används som läkemedel för att dämpa inflammatoriska tillstånd som t.ex. astma och reumatiska sjukdomar. Glukokortikosteroider är mycket potenta läkemedel och används flitigt med mycket goda effekter.The aim of this investigation has been to study mechanisms by which glucocorticoids inhibit inflammatory processes in vitro. Type IV cytosolic 85 kDa phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) is an important modulator of inflammatory responses that is present in macrophages as well as in other cell types. In macrophages, the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (dex) was found to reduce the expression of cPLA2 a
