Popular Abstract in Swedish Evolution är förändringen av en egenskap över flera generationer i en population. För att en sådan förändring ska kunna ske måste ärftlig variation finnas i populationen. Med detta menas att en gen som påverkar en egenskap, t.ex. en fågels vinglängd, måste finnas i olika former, så kallade alleler, som har olika effekt på egenskapen (t.ex. längre eller kortare vinge). MLong-term studies of birds play an important role in the understanding of quantitative traits in natural populations. The relative ease by which individual birds can be monitored and caught in the wild enable us collect detailed information from individuals throughout their life time, sometimes from several generations in a population. In this thesis I describe the utilization of a great reed warb

Popular Abstract in Swedish Extern fixation är en metod för skelettfixation där perkutana pinnar och/eller vajrar fästes i skelettet och fixeras i en yttre metallram. Extern fixation används alltmer vid frakturläkning och förlängning/korrektion av deformiteter. En extern fixation ger stabilitet åt frakturer och osteotomier och möjlighet till gradvis förlängning/korrektion av deformiteter. BelastniExternal fixation has been more commonly used during the last decades for correction of bone and soft tissue deformities and in frcture healing. The most common complication of external fixation is pin site infection. Two hundred and nineteen younger and/or physically active patients (mean age 53 (18-75) years) suffering from knee osteoarthritis (OA) or knee deformities operated on by hemicallota

A broad survey of eating and food in 18th Century Sweden and in the taechings of Carl Linnaeus, who lectured and published extensively on these matters.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen analyserar sättet på vilket religiösa utsagor förändrats för att passa det moderna samhällets uppfattningar om naturvetenskap, om främmande folks religioner och om individens möjlighet att erhålla religiösa upplevelser. Som empiriskt material används en grupp historiskt och tematiskt besläktade rörelser, från det sena artonhundratalets teosofi fram till dagThe study addresses the question of how religious creativity in the West manages to adapt to the forces of modernity. The empirical data are drawn from a set of historically and thematically related movements, from late nineteenth century theosophy to the contemporary New Age.The dissertation is divided into three main sections. The first serves as a necessary background, presenting a number of th

Field-effect transistors (FETs) based on semiconductor nanowires (Bryllert et al., 2005) have the potential to improve certain aspects of existing planar FET technologies. The possibility to form wrap-gates gives an efficient gate coupling resulting in reduced drain-induced barrier lowering. Furthermore, lateral strain relaxation allows a new freedom in combining materials in heterostructures, whe

Abstract in UndeterminedAbout a hundred studies on traceability recovery have been published in software engineering fora. In roughly half of them, software artifacts developed by students have been used as input. To what extent student artifacts differ from industrial counterparts has not been fully explored in the literature. We conducted a survey among authors of studies on traceability recover

The enzymatic degradation of wood polysaccharides such as cellulose and hemicellulose is an important process in nature. In addition, cellulases and hemicellulases can be used in industrial applications. Fuel ethanol can potentially be produced from wood by enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose followed by yeast fermentation of the formed sugars. In this thesis, fungal glycoside hydrolases, cellulase

In this Licentiate Dissertation presents a new model for selecting environmental performance indicators in order to improve environmental management. The suggested Total Cost Indicators support a support a preventive approach to environmental management, where environmental issues are addressed before they arise - and before they become costs. The method of selecting indicators builds on earlier

This thesis investigates ruin probabilities and first passage times for self-similar processes. We propose self-similar processes as a risk model with claims appearing in good and bad periods. Then, in particular, we get the fractional Brownian motion with drift as a limit risk process. Some bounds and asymptotics for ruin probability on a finite interval for fractional Brownian motion are derive

The article investigates new archive material shedding light on the intricate development of European freemasonry in East Asia during the Eighteenth century.

Cerium dioxide, or ceria, is a chemically stable oxygen ion conducting material with a capacity to store and release oxygen, and is therefore extensively used in combustion catalysts. The Cu-Ce-O system has been identified as one of the most active catalysts for the combustion of carbon monoxide. To study the catalytic oxidation of CO, we have synthesised model CuO_x/CeO₂ cata

An introduction to Judaism as text-centered traditions and conceptions of law, along with an outline of the Jewish legal history, is given as frame for a more specific presentation of the history of the Jews in the Nordic societies up to modern times with Denmark as the main example, including potential problems such as ritual slaughter and circumcision. The close relationship between Jewish law a

Supported-liquid membrane (SLM) extraction is a miniaturized version of liquid–liquid extraction (LLE), involving a hydrophobic membrane containing an organic solvent in the pores. Compared to LLE, it uses microliter-volumes of organic solvents, and provides high enrichment, outstanding clean-up and no emulsion formation. Here, basic principles and technical aspects as well as new developments in
