Popular Abstract in Swedish Pankreascancer (cancer i bukspottkörteln) drabbar årligen mer än 200 000 personer över hela världen, varav omkring 900 i Sverige. Sjukdomen är starkt associerad till ökad ålder och drabbar följaktligen väldigt sällan personer under 40 år, medan risken att drabbas vid 80 års ålder är 40 gånger förhöjd. På grund av dess mycket aggressiva tillväxt, tidiga metastasering samPancreatic cancer includes multiple histologic subtypes that show large differences in their clinical and biological characteristics. Despite this diversity, more than 85% of the neoplasms in the organ are malignant ductal adenocarcinomas, which are the focus of the present thesis. At the genetic level this tumor type is characterized by highly rearranged karyotypes, resulting in a large number of

The Swedish Program "Leadership, Organization and Communication" (LOM) was a research and a development program designed to support local processes of change in the private and the public sector. The program was carried out between 1985 and 1990. The strategy of LOM was focused on two basic principles: the principle of democratic dialogue and the principle of development of a "communicative infras

The overall aim of the present work was to reduce losses during product changes or during rinsing in continuous food processing, with particular attention to dairy plants. The concept of sensor fusion of common process instruments was implemented as a tool to monitor the milk and fat concentrations in a dairy processing line. Special interest was drawn to the dynamic processes such as start-up, r

The aim of this study is to characterize emulsion systems by self-diffusion PGSE NMR methods. The specifics of the emulsions studied are all taken from the literature and they are of the W/O or O/W type stabilized with different emulsifiers. We have investigated what characteristics of emulsions that the NMR self-diffusion technique can shed light on. The diffusion behavior of the liquid inside th

Over 800 million people in the developing world are affected by chronic hunger today. Hunger reduction is necessary for accelerating development and poverty reduction. It has been argued that genetically modified food (GM food) could be the solution to the third world hunger problem. Scientific progress in modern biotechnology has resulted in new medical treatments and vaccines. Biotechnology in t

At the end of August 1999, the local government council of Malmö city decided that the area known as Kvarteret Bilen would be made available for the European Housing Exhibition 2001 (Bo01-mässan). Kvarteret Bilen extends over approximately 80 hectars and includes the western parts of the Western Harbour area (Västra hamnen) of Malmö. Kvarteret Bilen as a whole, but especially the western sections

On the 8Th of December 2010 the decision was made in Nacka cultural committee, to outsource all six public libraries of the municipality. The decision is unique in Swedish library history and resulted in an intense debate that took place on several forums. This master’s thesis concerns the contemporary debate on privatization of public libraries. The aim is to analyse the debate in the light of

BACKGROUND: In contrast with macroorganisms, that show well-documented biogeographical patterns in distribution associated with local adaptation of physiology, behavior and life history, strong biogeographical patterns have not been found for microorganisms, raising questions about what determines their biogeography. Thus far, large-scale biogeographical studies have focused on free-living microbe

A series of four new analogue phases Ca2M2X (M = Pd, Pt and X = Al, Ge) were prepared by direct combination of the respective elements in stoichiometric mixtures at high temperature in order to analyze the impact of valence electron count (vec) and electronegativity differences (Delta chi) on the structure selection and stability. Their crystal structures, as determined from single-crystal X-ray d

Popular Abstract in Swedish Lysande plast, finns det? Tanken är att att tunn plast-film skall kunna användas som ihoprullbara tunna TV- och datorskärmar, som lysdioder, som mottagare i solceller och som transistorer. Till vardags är förmodligen den vanligaste uppfattningen att plast är ett isolerande material som inte leder ström och som därför heller inte lyser. Faktum är att bara en del av plasTransient absorption laser spectroscopy and resonance Raman spectrscopy have been used to study conjugated polymers and oligomers. To extract more information the measurements have been compared to computer simulations and calculations. In order to obtain a better understanding of the role of conformational disorder in the photophysics of light-emitting, conjugated polymers the ultrafast transient

One of the outstanding challenges presented by liquid water is to understand how molecules can move on a picosecond time scale despite being incorporated in a three-dimensional network of relatively strong H-bonds. This challenge is exacerbated in the supercooled state, where the dramatic slowing down of structural dynamics is reminiscent of the, equally poorly understood, generic behavior of liqu

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling belyses varför och hur frågan om arbetarnas bildning blev ett led i såväl borgerlighetens som arbetarklassens formering under andra hälften av 1800-talet. Arbetet utgår från ett teoretiskt perspektiv som bl a innebär att människor aktivt skapar sin klassidentitet i sina vardagliga liv. Undersökningens tyngdpunkt ligger på jämförande analyser mellan sThis dissertation deals with the question of why and how the issue of workers' education came to be part of both bourgeois and working class formation during the second half of the 19th century and how it contributed to the shaping of new social relations. The theoretical perspective is based on the concept of hegemony indicating that a leading class has to establish and maintain its leadership by

Solute transport in the unsaturated zone is a complex process. The first of the two objectives for this study was to examine how it could be conceptualized under different flow conditions. The second objective was to investigate how the time domain reflectometry (TDR) technique should be used in order to obtain high quality data from the soils studied. The TDR is an accurate instrument for water c
