As much as one-third of the dietary fibre intake in a normal Western diet originates from fruits and vegetables. Nutritional effects of dietary fibre can to a great extent be related to the physicochemical properties of the fibre, such as composition, solubility, viscosity, water-holding capacity and molecular weight.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities of postheparin plasma, heart, lungs, and adipose tissue, and salt-resistant lipase (hepatic lipase, SRL) activities of postheparin plasma, liver, and adrenals were examined in essential fatty acid deficient (EFAD) rats and in age-matched controls. The LPL activity of heart was higher in the deficient than in the control rats, but did not differ in the other tissLipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities of postheparin plasma, heart, lungs, and adipose tissue, and salt-resistant lipase (hepatic lipase, SRL) activities of postheparin plasma, liver, and adrenals were examined in essential fatty acid deficient (EFAD) rats and in age-matched controls.

In this contribution, we discuss the menu of policy regimes available for Iceland. Each regime is evaluated against the characteristics of the Icelandic economy. We start with a short description of the Icelandic economy. We then examine the costs and benefts of alternative monetary regimes. We conclude that no regime Iceland has tried since attaining full sovereignty in 1918 has provided economic

Att lära sig ett främmande språk som grekiska är varken svårare eller lättare än att lära sig andra språk, men det tar tid och innebär en hel del arbete. Denna grundläggande lärobok i nytestamentlig grekiska innehåller allt det du behöver för att kunna börja läsa Nya testamentet på dess grundspråk. Nytestamentlig grekiska inleds med en presentation av det grekiska alfabetet, dess tecken och uttal

Den här skriften handlar om ljus och ljusets betydelse för oss människor. Tolv forskare med vitt skilda bakgrunder samlas och diskuterar frågor som skrider över gränserna. Vad är ljus egentligen? Hur kan vi förstå ljus? Hur påverkar det oss? På vilket sätt kan vi använda oss av det? Vilka tekniska möjligheter har vi att skapa och styra olika sorters ljus? Vilka möjligheter ger det oss inför fram

Gal. 3.6-14 is one of many passages in the letters of Paul which is difficult because of the argumentation it contains. An argumentation analysis is therefore called for to disentangle the arguments and to recover any implicit premisses. Such an analysis gives a more complete picture of Paul’s argumentation and helps us understand and evaluate it. The analysis indicates that Paul is attempting to

Following the claim in Fides et Ratio that »[m]etaphysics … plays an essential role of meditation in theological research« (John Paul II 1998), I examine how the neuroscientists Christof Koch and Giulio Tononi's Integrated Information Theory (IIT) challenges a physicalist view on consciousness and even life.

I denna rapport undersöker jag vad studier och diskussioner av anonymisering av examinationer inom högre utbildning ger vid handen. Idag finns att tillgå resultaten av ett antal större studier, vilka med bred empiri undersöker konsekvenserna av anonymisering och hur det (eventuellt) har påverkat lärares bedömning. Dessa studier har inte kunnat visa på någon signifikant skillnad (eg. minskad bias)

In two late Mesolithic cemeteries, dated to about 5000 BCE, at Skateholm, Scania in Sweden, some graves were found that contained clothing decorations, mainly in the form of tooth beads but also other animal parts that were used as embellishments. These are perforated front teeth, mostly from red deer but also wild boar and in rare occasions from elk and aurochs. The tooth beads were in female graIn two late Mesolithic cemeteries, dated to about 5000 bce, at Skateholm, Scania in Sweden, some graves were found that contained clothing decorations, mainly in the form of tooth beads but also other animal parts that were used as embellishments.

Hållbar mobilitet innebär bland annat att prioritera aktiva färdmedel, närhet och tillgänglighet. Det handlar om mer än minskade utsläpp, det handlar också om att ”sätta människan i centrum”, om att skapa livskraftiga och välmående samhällen för alla, och samtidigt förbättra förutsättningarna för välbefinnande i ett rättvist och jämlikt samhälle, både inom och mellan generationer.

The production, reading and correcting of article proofs is a highly important part of scholarly publishing, and the proof of an article is the only place where researcher, journal production team and publisher come together, directly or indirectly.

In 2011, the Russian government, in order to mark the 100th anniversary of Swedish Diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, decided to allow one Swedish researcher to go through the diplomatic correspondence in cipher between the Soviet Embassy in Stockholm and the Soviet Foreign Ministry during the years 1944–1947. This article presents some of the major findings on Wallenberg and discusses whether parallel pa

We study the effects of two dimensions of teacher quality, subject knowledge and didactic skills, on student learning in francophone Sub-Saharan Africa. We use data from an international large- scale assessment in 14 countries that include individual-level information on student achievement and country-level measures of teacher subject knowledge and didactic skills in reading and math.

For the first time, this book presents the complete collection of Greek inscriptions of Gebel el-Silsila East – Ancient Egypt’s largest and most important sandstone quarry, including lists of names and professions of individuals involved in the quarry expeditions. The inscriptions are described, illustrated and analysed and placed within their archaeological context based on careful documentation

Skogsvårdslagen är en författning som gäller parallellt med miljöbalken. Lagen är uppbyggd kring att produktions- och miljömål ska vara likvärdiga. I praktiken ser det annorlunda ut då produktionsintresset ofta överordnas miljöintresset, vilket resulterar i att den biologiska mångfalden i skogslandskapet blir lidande. SVL ställer få krav på skogsägarna. Myndigheternas strategi är att med rådgivnin

Jag utvaldes tillsammans med tio andra postdokar vid LU*, och som enda representanten från fakulteten för humaniora och teologi, att medverka vid LMK-stiftelsens idéforum för unga forskare i Björkliden den 28–31 augusti 2015. Idéforumet leddes av Göran Bexell (professor och tidigare rektor för LU), Sture Forsén (professor och grundare av Pufendorfinstitutet), Sven Strömqvist (professor, vetenskapl

Public libraries serve as social infrastructures that foster interpersonal connections and promote well-being and cohesion. In order to explore the role played by libraries in the process of social infrastructuring, we conducted a zine-making workshop with librarians. This workshop facilitated collegial conversations and provided an opportunity for participants to familiarize themselves with the c
