Oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP) are neurohypophyseal hormones with potent stimulatory actions on the uterus. In order to determine whether these hormones may have a paracrine action on the uterus, OT and VP gene expression was studied in myometrium from pregnant rats at gestational ages of 14 and 20 days, and from ovariectomized animals treated with oestradiol and progesterone. OT and VP mRNA c
Researchers who desire to bring about change in organizational settings require approaches to inquiry which can go beyond superficial appearances and prejudice. In seeking to go beyond mere examination of socio technical systems researchers have developed a proliferation of different approaches. Many of these have drawn upon social and human sciences to ground methods and assumptions in philosophi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Lunds strängfragmenteringsmodell beskriver hur färgade partiklar (kvarkar och gluoner, tillsammans kallade partoner) som produceras vid högenergetisk partikelkollisioner omvandlas till färgneutrala hadroner. Denna avhandling utvecklar och utforskar ett alternativt tillvägagångssätt till modellen. Den nya infallsvinkeln förbättrar modellen för system som består av många
A common way to cool the tip is to use serpentine passages with 180-deg turn under the blade tip-cap. Improving internal convective cooling is therefore required to increase the blade tip life. In this paper, augmented heat transfer of a blade tip has been investigated numerically. The computational models consist of a two-pass channel with 180-deg turn and pin-fins mounted on the tip-cap, and a s
The Prototype Repository, at the Aspo HRL (Hard Rock Laboratory), is a demonstration project for the deposition of spent nuclear fuel, and provides a full-scale reference for testing predictive models relating to a spent nuclear fuel repository, both its individual components as well as the complete system. The final layout involves six deposition holes, four in an inner section and two in an oute
Purpose of this paper The purpose of this paper is to present a comparative case study of the procedures and guiding principles in the packaging selection practice of two international companies. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative case study with an inductive approach was conducted. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews, documentation, and field visits. Findings Th
This thesis contains six papers dealing with different aspects of damage and fracture in paper. The work addresses the problem of material length scales in the context of deformation and fracture of paper materials. In Paper 1, localised failure in low-basis weight paper is studied and a fracture model based on continuum damage mechanics is presented. A gradient enhanced theory is used that incorp
Popular Abstract in Swedish Skulle p53-målgenen TRIM22 kunna skydda mot cancer uppkomst? Frisk blodbildning En frisk vuxen människa har mellan fyra och sex liter blod, beroende på individens kroppsstorlek. Blodet produceras i benmärgen som finns i skelettbenen. Varje sekund bildas normalt i benmärgen tre till fyra miljoner blodkroppar från våra stamceller. Blodkropparna är specialiserade celler The tumor suppressor gene p53 is a transcription factor that mediates cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and differentiation. p53 mediated differentiation of leukemic cells depends on the transcriptional activity of p53 but so far no obvious differentiation inducing target gene has been identified. Using a cDNA microarray analysis, I identified TRIM22/Staf50 as a novel direct target gene to p53. The fun
Background: The European Molecular Genetics Quality Network (EMQN) was formed in order to improve external quality assessment for molecular genetic testing in Europe. From 1999 to 2002 it received funding from the European Union under the Standards, Measurement and Testing programme (contract no. SMT4-CT98-7515). Since then, its maintenance has been supported through subscription of the participan
Popular Abstract in English This dissertation attempts to answer the question of why the 2003 armed conflict against Iraq received such varied support within the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, France and Spain. This is achieved by introducing a model in which the support for armed conflict is connected to elite persuasion operating in particular contexts. This model is tested in a cThis dissertation attempts to answer the question of why the 2003 armed conflict against Iraq received such varied support within the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, France and Spain. This is achieved by introducing a model in which the support for armed conflict is connected to elite persuasion operating in particular contexts. This model is tested in a comparative study, using inte
Stylistic Fronting (SF) is a process that fronts various types of non-subjects to the preverbal position in subjectless clauses (“that gone have”, etc.). With the exception of Icelandic and to some extent Faroese, SF has disappeared from Scandinavian varieties. It is commonly assumed that even in Icelandic it is formal and old fashioned, indicating that it might be on its way out of this language
Våld i nära relationer, och då främst mäns våld mot kvinnor, utgör ett erkänt samhällsproblem. En särskilt utsatt grupp är våldsutsatta kvinnor med osäker uppehållsrätt som kommit till Sverige på anknytning till en svensk man. Kvinnorna får tidsbegränsade uppehållstillstånd och om anknytningen bryts föreligger inte längre förutsättningar för uppehållstillståndet, och kvinnan utvisas. Om kvinnan kaDomestic violence, and primarily men's violence against women, is a well-recognized social problem. A particularly vulnerable group is abused women with uncertain right of residence. Their migration status depends on that of their spouse, and they receive only a temporary residence permit. If the relationship is broken, the conditions for the residence permit are no longer present and the woma
The present research seeks to understand interviews I have conducted with selected individuals in Budapest, Hungary. Through an analysis based on well-established feminist theory I analyse what the dimensions of quality and character of life can be like for those committed to an environmentally conscious lifestyle, and ultimately gives credence to the notion that there might be deeper psychologica
Offentligt anställda har enligt regeringsformen krav på sig att iaktta saklighet och opartiskhet för att upprätthålla allmänhetens förtroende för staten. För att säkerställa att bestämmelserna efterföljs, har lagen om offentlig anställning införlivat regler om bisysslor. Lagstiftningen kompletteras av vidare bestämmelser i de statliga kollektivavtalen. En bisyssla kan omfatta i princip vilket åtagIn order to maintain the public’s trust, the Instrument of Government dictates that all public employees must act objectively and impartial. To ensure compliance with this regulation, the Public Employment Act has incorporated legislation on incidental employment. Incidental employment refers to any employment, assignment or activity that may harm the reputation of the authority. This is further r
The aim of this study is to provide understanding on how the discursive construction of mental health and illness in politics relates to health policy and in turn to inequalities in mental health. Based on Carol Bacchis discourse analytical framework WPR, I analyze policy documents from the Swedish parliament in fall 2022 in order to investigate how mental health and illness is represented in the
The COVID-19 pandemic, a global crisis marked by uncertainty, exacerbated the dissemination of misinformation and conspiracy theories through social media platforms, thereby posing an additional health risk to society. This study employs Carol Bacchi's WPR approach to conduct a discourse analysis focused on vaccine resistance within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to gain valuabl
Organisational learning is assumed to be a part of creating improved work processes in an organisation. This type of learning can be difficult to achieve in operational and reactive work environments. Challenges in observable causality, time constraints and complex external conditions means that the operational control room is one of those reactive work environments. There is a need for a system t
Today’s work environment is currently undergoing radical changes and although the aware-ness of social collaboration is growing within organizations, they still struggle with the digital transformation and thereby with the integration of Enterprise Social Network (ESN). Our study aims to investigate the role of ESN within the todays’ organizations. Specifically, it intends to build on previous res
