This thesis presents an in-depth investigation into the behaviour of two distinct industrial material systems under specialized conditions: diamond tools machining titanium alloys and the annealing of alumina-forming steels. The observation of two sub-projects was finished by two state-of-the-art synchrotron facilities FlexPES and MAXPEEM respectively at the MAX IV laboratory. The study elucidates
The essay collects and analyses sources on the Russian Orthodox monasteries of the Swedish province of Ingria (Ingermanland). These houses have rarely been treated; their very existence is largely unknown among specialists, although they are the only Orthodox religious houses to have existed in Scandinavia before the mid-20th century, apart from those of post-1809 Finland. On the basis of printe
Today, we are creating and building more than ever. While buildings rise from the horizon, the consumption of building materials increases massively. More than 22% of global carbon dioxide emissions come from the consumption of building materials such as concrete, steel, and aluminum, etc. 55% of embodied carbon in a conventional building is in the structure and substructure (Smedley, 2019). Hence
Sammanfattning Syftet med denna uppsats är att söka svar på vilka analytiska verktyg som krävs för att förstå villkoren för mänskligt handlande. Min tes är att den diskursteoretiska epistemologi som kommit att dominera samtida feministisk forskning - i uppsatsen representerad främst av Judith Butler - inte tillhandahåller dessa analytiska verktyg. För att pröva denna tes har jag intervjuat fem he
Since the 'Danish bottles case', where the protection of the environment was recognized as a mandatory requirement that could derogate from the free movement of goods, the ECJ has taken over an interesting role to map the boundaries of its application. The rank of Community policy and the need of integration explicitly envisaged in the EC, have had a major influence in its judicial interpr

För att kunna genomföra ett EU-direktiv introducerades år 2010 möjligheten för allmän förvaltningsdomstol att, efter ansökan om överprövning, ogiltigförklara ett direktupphandlat avtal. Denna möjlighet har tidigare inte existerat i svensk rätt och har därför i rättsvetenskaplig litteratur beskrivits som ”en mindre upphandlingsrättslig revolution”. Den svenska lagstiftaren har haft möjligheten att In 2010 a new opportunity was introduced in the Swedish legal system after an implementation of a directive from the European Union. -After an application for review, this amendment of the public procurement law provides the administrative courts with the ability to annul directly assigned procurement contracts. This opportunity has not previously existed in Swedish Law and has therefore been desc
Sedan våren 2014 har delar av Ukrainas östra territorium kontrollerats av separatister som understödjs av Ryssland. Separatisterna har utropat nya folkrepubliker, som dock inte erkänts som nya stater av det internationella samfundet. På grund av separatisternas territoriella kontroll kan Ukraina inte säkerställa att Europakonventionen om de mänskliga rättigheterna efterlevs och respekteras i regioWhen Ukraine lost control over parts of its eastern territory to separatists in 2014, it indicated that it no longer had the ability to fulfil its obligations under the European Convention of Human Rights in regards to that area. However, although the separatists have proclaimed their own states, these are not recognised by the international community. Since the ECHR only applies to state parties
Popular Abstract in Swedish 'Ordekvilibristen Anthony Burgess firar triumfer i sin nya bok' - 'Nadine Gordimer har sällan skrivit en mer förtätad prosa'. Kritikerberömmet ger intrycket att Burgess och Gordimer har skrivit sina böcker direkt på svenska. I själva verket har de svenska formuleringarna åstadkommits av en översättare. I föreliggande avhandling undersöker jag vad som händer när ett sköWhose text is a work of fiction in translation? The aim of this thesis is to examine what happens to a novel when it is translated from one language into another. By analysing the Swedish translations of six contemporary novels written in English I attempt to identify what I refer to as the translator´s voice. The translations have been made by two of Sweden´s most highly thought-of translators, E
Context. Pismis 18 is a moderately populated, intermediate-Age open cluster located within the solar circle at a Galactocentric distance of about seven kpc. Few open clusters have been studied in detail in the inner disc region before the Gaia-ESO Survey. Aims. New data from the Gaia-ESO Survey allowed us to conduct an extended radial velocity membership study as well as spectroscopic metallicity
The current study aimed to investigate the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) algorithms for toddlers and young preschoolers (Kim and Lord, J Autism Dev Disord 42(1):82-93, 2012) in a non-US sample from ten sites in nine countries (n = 1,104). The construct validity indicated a good fit of the algorithms. The diagnostic validity was lower, with satisfactorily high specificities but modera
This study compared the cytokine production of uroepithelial cell lines in response to gram-negative bacteria and inflammatory cytokines. Human kidney (A498) and bladder (J82) epithelial cell lines were stimulated with either Escherichia coli Hu734, interleukin 1α (IL-1α), or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Supernatant samples were removed, and the RNA was extracted from cells at 0, 2, 6, and
There are many rare movement disorders, and new ones are described every year. Because they are not well recognized, they often go undiagnosed for long periods of time. However, early diagnosis is becoming increasingly important. Rapid advances in our understanding of the biological mechanisms responsible for many rare disorders have enabled the development of specific treatments for some of them.
Background: Stick insects (Phasmatodea) have a high incidence of parthenogenesis and other alternative reproductive strategies, yet the genetic basis of reproduction is poorly understood. Phasmatodea includes nearly 3000 species, yet only the genome of Timema cristinae has been published to date. Clitarchus hookeri is a geographical parthenogenetic stick insect distributed across New Zealand. Sexu
Tropical tree crops such as cacao and coffee are produced around the tropics in diverse, multistrata agroforests as well as monoculture plantations Box 16.1 and references therein). The smallholders cultivating these systems battle pests and diseases that differ regionally and change over time, but often take a significant part of their yield, and therefore their revenue. In these perennial system
Background. Young adults starting kidney replacement therapy (KRT) during childhood and reaching their 18th birthday (i.e. adult survivors of childhood KRT) form a challenging population of interest to nephrologists treating adults, as during this period there will be a transition to adult renal centres. Nonetheless, few studies have focused on the epidemiology of KRT in this group. We aimed to pr
Avhandlingen är en studie av hur stöd och service organiseras kring fyra barn med funktionshinder och deras familjer. I denna service är normalt flera olika formella organisationer involverade, som barnhabilitering, förskola/skola/särskola, hjälpmedelscentral, assistentorganisationer, sjukvård m fl. Dessutom kan barnets och familjens situation vara komplicerad på många sätt. Själva funktionshindreThis study explores the organising of services for disabled children and their families in Sweden. It is based on 83 interviews with parents and involved staff surrounding four disabled children, with both physical and intellectual disabilities, and between two and nine years old. Further, 15 meetings between parents and staff were observed, primarily serving as background material. The service pr
BACKGROUND: Comprehensive insight in the longitudinal development of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after childhood cancer diagnosis could improve quality of care. Thus, we aimed to study the course and biopsychosocial determinants of HRQOL in a unique national cohort of children with cancer.METHODS: HRQOL of 2154 children with cancer was longitudinally reported (median: 3 reports) between
