Reflections of Fire. Images of the First World War in Sweden This thesis investigates the cultural impact of the First World War in Sweden, and how it shaped Swedish images and narratives about war and neutrality from 1914 to 1935. In line with Paul Fussell, George L. Mosse, and Jay Winter, among others, I discuss the symbolic, discursive aspects of the war at a popular, everyday level. The theor
Popular Abstract in Swedish Yttersta domen blev det favoriserade motivet då man under 1700-talet dekorerade de västsvenska kyrkornas innertak. VARFÖR kom just helvetesdetaljen att uppta allt större utrymme? Syndens straff utvisas här som en evig vistelse i ett kvalfyllt helvete. Snart var det stort nog att symboliskt rymma hela församlingen. Härifrån rungar varningar, hot skallar medan eldsprutandDuring the18th century, the Swedish orthodox Church faced considerable problems with dissension and indifference. One important means of coping with the situation was the decision to have the ceilings of the churches painted in brilliant oil-paint. The appropriate theme for the didactic purpose was Time’s End, Christ’s second coming in order to judge mankind. Almost every church in the South-west
Popular Abstract in Swedish Enzymet histidin dekarboxylas - en nyckelroll i bildningen av histamin Histamin är en välkänd substans som är en av orsakerna till bland annat allergiska symptom. Alla som har hösnuva känner väl till hur histamin verkar, svullnande ögon och rinnande näsa. Histamin är inblandad i en mängd olika funktioner i kroppen såsom allergiska reaktioner och inflammationer av alla Histamine is involved in a variety of physiological processes like gastric acid secretion, inflammation and neurotransmission. The production of histamine is catalysed by the enzyme histidine decarboxylase (HDC), which is a strongly regulated enzyme. Mammalian HDC mRNA encodes a protein with a molecular mass of 74 kDa, which is greater than that reported for the subunit of purified mammalian HDC,
Popular Abstract in Swedish Att en elektrisk urladdning ger upphov till ljus syns varje gång blixten slår ner. Den omvända processen, att ljus kan skapa en elektrisk urladdning, upptäcktes av Hertz 1887 som en parentes i utvecklingen av radiomottagare. Undersökningar av detta fenomen visade att elektroner bara kunde frigöras av ljus som hade tillräckligt hög frekvens (ultraviolett). Förklaringen aTreating the correlated behaviour of multiple particles is challenging for both theory and experiment. This thesis reports on a variety of experimental investigations aiming to advance the understanding of fundamental processes in atoms and molecules: double ionization, isomerization and dissociation. The emphasis lies on ultra-fast processes, where multiple electrons interact or nuclei move so ra
Environmental models are important tools; however uncertainty is pervasive in the modeling process. Current research has shown that understanding and representing these uncertainties is critical when decisions are expected to be made from the modeling results. One critical question has become: how focused should uncertainty intervals be with consideration of characteristics of uncertain input dat
Popular Abstract in Swedish När en skada på ett kärl uppstår sätts blodkoagulationen igång. En rad reaktioner mellan olika proteiner, såsom proenzymer, enzymer och kofaktorer sker då på negativt laddade ytor som exponeras i samband med skadan. Därigenom omvandlas flytande blod till levrat blod och kärlskadan täpps igen. Faktor V är en viktig komponent i blodkoagulationen. I koagulationsprocessens Coagulation factor V (FV) is activated by thrombin through proteolytic cleavage at Arg-709, Arg-1018 and Arg-1545. Upon thrombin activation, the active form of factor V (FVa) is formed. FVa functions as a cofactor to factor Xa in the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin during coagulation. Recently, it was shown that in addition to being a precursor form of the procoagulant FVa, FV functions as a
PURPOSE: We review the current epidemiological and genetic knowledge regarding hereditary prostate cancer, and outline its clinical implications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Published articles on hereditary prostate cancer were identified using the MEDLINE data base. RESULTS: A risk of prostate cancer, particularly early onset disease, is strongly affected by family history (number of relatives with pr
Source-sorted municipal organic waste collected from different dwelling types in five Danish cities and pre-treated at three different plants was sampled and characterized several times during one year to investigate the origin of any differences in composition of the pre-treated waste introduced by city, pre-treatment technology, dwelling type or annual season. The investigated pre-treatment tech
Multimodal transportation in the European continent is an integral part of cross border trade and in particular the use of sea and river carriers. The phenomenon of short sea shipping has reached a level of importance of which all European states must take cognisance. One of the policies associated with this issue is the development of the motorways of the sea. While Ukraine is not yet a part of t
This document describes the field- and driving simulator experiments carried out within Work-package 3.2 (Evaluation of in-car speed limiters). In both the field study and the simulator experiment positive effects of the speed limiter were found in terms of large speed reductions (particularly in urban areas), reduced speed variance and better speed adaptation on critical places (approaches, curve
Popular Abstract in Swedish Råttans urinblåsa har studerats ur olika aspekter, sedan antingen ett standardiserat avflödeshinder åstadkommits eller hälften av urinblåsans nervförsörjning avlägsnats. Avflödeshindret har åstadkommits genom att en silkestråd knutits runtom urinröret så att det försnävats. Genom att en knappt mm-vid metallstav knutits om samtidigt och sedan avlägsnats, har graden av avMedian micturition volume decreased early after partial outlet obstruction, 24 hrs total obstruction and hemidenervation. Degeneration release of transmitter may explain this, assuming that bladder wall distension causes nerve degeneration. Micturition pressure decreased simultaneously in the partially denervated and 24 hrs obstructed groups, probably due to the reduced number of functionally inta
The Mg2+ and Mn2+ structures of calbindin D9k have been determined and they reveal a conformational change compared to the structures of apo and (Ca2+)2-calbindin D9k. These findings are unique, since normally calcium and not magnesium is known to induce conformational changes of EF-hand proteins. It has also been shown that calbindin D9k
Den svenska företagsbeskattningen baseras på att varje enskilt företag är ett självständigt skattskyldigt subjekt. Däremot finns vissa möjligheter att beakta flera företags resultat av näringsverksamhet när dessa ingår i en koncern. Ett alternativ som har ställts upp är de skatterättsliga koncernbidragen. Då koncernbidragsreglerna aktualiseras och en värdeöverföring har skett mellan två företag inSwedish corporate taxation is based on the fact that each individual company is an independently taxable subject. On the other hand, in some circumstances it is possible to take into account several companies' income of economic activities, when these are part of a corporate group. One option available is the group contribution. If the rules concerning group contributions are applicable and a

For most people getting a stroller is an obvious thing to do when having a baby. It’s mainly used for transportation of the baby but has other functions as well. For example, it is used as a storage, serves as a shopping bag for groceries and makes a perfect bed for a baby nap. Using a stroller should be easy and safe, but when it’s getting dark outside it can be hard to see the road ahead and fin
Purpose: The purpose of this research was to understand how consumers morally judge advocacy advertising in contemporary consumer culture. The phenomenon was explored with the help of three case studies, namely Nike, Gillette, and Pepsi, all being brands who have taken a political stance in their advertisement campaigns. Theoretical Perspective: To analyse the empirical material, we first delved
We live in a world built on consumerist values and a spatial rationale of capital accumulation. This modern society has led to architecture thriving through super consumption and super production ultimately leading to the generic. Cities and spaces that were usually rich in variation and texture have now become an architectural melting pot. Architecture has become smooth, simplified and reduced to
Uppsatsen behandlar de rättsliga regleringar som utgör gällande rätt vid häktning av unga mellan 15-17 år. Syftet för uppsatsen är att utreda om denna reglering är rättssäkert utifrån principen om förutsägbarhet. För att göra detta redovisas regleringen om frihetsberövande generellt, för att vidare begränsas till frihetsberövande genom häktning och sedermera behandla regleringen gällande unga mellThe thesis deals with the legal regulations that constitute the current law on the detention of young people aged 15-17. The purpose for the essay is to investigate whether this regulation is legally secure based on the principle of predictability. In order to do this, the regulation on deprivation of liberty is described in general, then limited to deprivation of liberty by means of detention and
Horses have a great social, cultural and economic importance in society and contribute to the open landscape. There are currently more than 360,000 horses in Sweden, which together produce over 2.7 million tons of manure per year. This represents 10% of the total amount of manure from all livestock in the country. Most horses are found in urban or near-urban rural areas, which means that there is
