Popular Abstract in Swedish Häri avhandlas tesen att bättre insikt i kemisk jordförorening med tjärämnen kan erhållas genom två analytiska begrepp: tillgänglighet och kemisk aktivitet. Tillgänglighet syftar på andelen av den totala mängden PAH som är tillgänglig för processer vilka sker utanför jordpartiklarna. Det andra begreppet, kemisk aktivitet, är termodynamiskt. Den kemiska aktiviteten är häThis thesis proposes the use of two concepts: accessibility and chemical activity. Accessibility describes the mass quantity of PAHs that is or can become available within a given time span and under given conditions. Chemical activity quantifies the energetic state of the PAHs that determines the potential for spontaneous physicochemical processes, such as diffusion and partitioning. Chemical act

A quite common view is that the scientific persona matters less in contemporary Western knowledge societies. Large research groups produce new scientific discoveries gathered around impersonal expert system. However, it is also well known that scientific cultures differ widely. In physics, the projects are quite impersonal, sometimes including thousands of persons. The prime example is the CERN or

Abstract in UndeterminedNorm supporting actors and structures for change.Education every day effects almost half of the population in Sweden and Nordic countries. Most research on schools and education is based within education science and there is a lack of other social science perspectives. Sociology of law with its focus on social norms, ethical values and legal norms has something different to

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen undersöker ”chock-modernitet” och ”naturaliserad modernitet” som två sätt att varsebli det moderna. Med natur avses en omgivning som tas för given och i vilken förändring sker inom ramarna för det kända och etablerade. Chocken stör eller bryter ner denna ordning. Begrepp och objekt tycks inte längre sammanfalla, utan uppenbarar istället vad Adorno kallar deIn sociology shock is often seen as emblematic of modernity. However, while Benjamin and Simmel famously portray the big city crowd - and by extension modernity itself - as an arena of shock, shock sensations are notable for their absence in depictions of the crowd as well as of modernity as a whole in much contemporary literature. This is evident in depictions involving streets, trains, technolog

More recently researchers have turned to analyze how the tax structure, rather than the overall tax level, affects economic performance. For instance, several papers have investigated how taxation on corporate and individual (labor) income influences growth. Taxation of dividend income may also influence growth via its impact on investments and firm behavior. Within the academic community there is

The plant plasma membrane H⁺-ATPase is a predominant membrane enzyme that provides the energy for secondary active transport across the plasma membrane. Consequently, the H⁺-ATPase is thought to play a major role in many cell processes, and it is implicated to be regulated by a number of factors, including hormones, blue light, and fungal toxins The plant plasma membrane H

Reviews the book, Language, Music, and the Brain: A Mysterious Relationship by Michael A. Arbib (2013). For the researcher, or for anyone interested in research using a multidisciplinary approach to the problem of the interrelations between language, music, and the brain, this anthology is at the same time a rich “Handbook of...” and “A Companion to....” As such the book ought to be a priceless re

Popular Abstract in Swedish Nocturi, att vakna för att gå upp och tömma urinblåsan på natten, förekommer i alla åldrar hos kvinnor såväl som hos män. Prevalensen ökar med ökande ålder. Nocturi kan vara ett symptom på hjärtsvikt, okontrollerad diabetes mellitus, benign prostatahyperplasi och sömnapné. Den ökade förekomsten av nocturi hos äldre (65+) beror dock inte endast på högre sjuklighet. ÅldraAnalysis of nocturia questionnaires mailed to all persons aged 65 years or more in Tierp, a Swedish rural community, showed that the number of nocturnal voids was highly correlated with urge and incontinence. No correlation between nocturia and a known and treated hypertension, angina, congestive heart failure or diabetes mellitus was detected. Frequency-volume charts from elderly subjects with tw

Authoritative survey of the importance of altered consciousness throughout history and in various disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, the arts and the humanities.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tekniken för vitreoretinal kirurgi har utvecklats betydligt de senaste åren, både vad gäller metodik och instrumentering. Allt fler sjukdomstillstånd i näthinnan kan nu behandlas. För att utveckla dessa metoder vidare, och även öka kunskapen bakom verkningsmekanismen för deras effektivitet, är standardiserade djurmodeller där både funktion och histologi kan utvärderas aThe field of vitreoretinal surgery has expanded greatly over the last decades. A continuous refinement of surgical methods and instruments has increased the number of treatable retinal disorders. Vitrectomy, retinectomy and laser treatment are all part of the modern surgical arsenal. In order to further develop and refine these methods, and also to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms behind th
