Popular Abstract in Swedish I vår omgivning finns många gasformiga ämnen, vars egenskaper är sådana att de kan mätas med optiska metoder. Härvid kan man utnyttja det unika spektroskopiska fingeravtryck ämnena har. Det vill säga, att varje ämne absorberar ljus av olika färg (våglängd) på ett unikt sätt. Likaså har vissa ämnen sådana egenskaper, att då de belyses med en viss våglängd sänder de ut enMulti-spectral lidar (light detection and ranging) techniques have been developed and employed in various environmental studies, ranging from concentration mapping of volcanic emissions to fluorescence imaging of historical monuments. In both absorption measurements of gaseous species and fluorescence imaging of stones, multiple wavelength excitation and multiple wavelength detection have been app

122 patients with Alzheimer's disease receiving galantamine in the Swedish Alzheimer Treatment Study were studied with respect to longitudinal change in cognition (MMSE and ADAS-cog) and function (IADL, PSMS and FAST). Particularly the FAST mean change from baseline showed a linear relationship with cognitive mean change and the strength of the relationship increased over time. The IADL scale demo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sedan urminnestider har vi utsatts för attacker av virus, bakterier och andra för kroppen skadliga ämnen. Som svar på detta har kroppen utarbetat ett speciellt försvarssystem, det så kallade immunsystemet. När kroppen angrips aktiveras immunsystemet som står färdigt att bekämpa inkräktaren av vad slag det vara månde. Till sin hjälp har det många förfinade verktyg. BlandSecretory leukocyte protease inhibitor is a 11.7 kDa acid stable serine protease inhibitor. SLPI has been shown to be the dominant protease inhibitor in bronchial secretions and has been used in treatment of pulmonary emphysema. In ulcerative colitis faecal extracts has been shown to contain an abundance of free proteolytic activity, mainly leukocytic and pancreatic proteases. SLPI is a strong inh

This paper reports on the in-context evaluation of an audio-tactile interactive tourist guide - one test was done in a medieval city center, and the other was done at an archaeological site. The activity theory framework was used as a perspective to guide design, field-study and analysis. The evaluation shows that the guide allows users to experience an augmented reality, while keeping the environ

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur gick det till när 1900-talets industrialiserade landsbygd omvandlades? Hur påverkades människors vardag av denna utveckling och hur knöts lokala händelser ihop med industrisamhällets omvälvande historia? Dessa frågor diskuteras i denna studie av det småländska brukssamhället Böksholm. I centrum står relationen mellan de dominerande folkrörelserna och ledningen för BThe aim of this dissertation is to study some of the forces behind the transformation of the 20th century industrialised countryside. The emphasis is on changes in everyday life for women and men, and the role of organisations therein. Two main questions are outlined: Which forces were central to the development of the industrial society?, and, how did the relationship between individual and socie

The article reports and discusses a long-term qualitative study of forty 8–10-year-old students who regularly played a math game during math lessons for 9 weeks. The goal was to explore the relations between (i) some of the pedagogical principles that underlie the game and (ii) the playing practice in terms of what actually takes place when students play the math game during regular math lessons.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ekonomiska och miljömässiga problem gör det svårt att bygga ut kraftledningsnätet i samma takt som efterfrågan på elenergi ökar. Ett alternativ är att öka belastningen av befintliga kraftledningar på bekostnad av de säkerhetsmarginaler som finns. En av flera dimensionerande faktorer är risken för otillräckligt dämpade effektpendlingar mellan generatorer i kraftsystemet.Environmental and economical aspects make it difficult to build new power lines and to reinforce existing ones. The continued growth in demand for electric power must therefore to a great extent be met by increased loading of available lines. A consequence is that power system damping is reduced, leading to a risk of poorly damped power oscillations between the generators. This thesis proposes the

Stabilisation of soft soils by deep mixing with binders is the most frequently used method of ground improvement in Sweden today, and is increasingly being used internationally. The most common binders employed are cement and lime, but a variety of other binders may also be used for stabilisation of soils. For further development of the deep mixing method, there is a need for more extensive resear
