The purpose of this volume is to show how different national contexts affected the proliferation of anti-Catholic messages over the course of four centuries of European history, from 1600 to 2000. Factors such as the legal status of various faiths and their opportunities for proselytising, the relation between state and church, transnational cultural relations, and the development of different med

The forward to this collection of texts about the use of new media for protest politics by social movements aims to set the intellectual stage for the chapter that follow. In particular the socio-cultural origins as well as limitations of the internet in these civic contests are highlighted

Popular Abstract in Swedish En magnetkamera kan med hjälp av diffusionsviktad bildtagning användas för att avbilda hjärnans nervsystem. Denna teknik kan utnyttjas för studier av hur hjärnans delar är sammankopplade, men även för att indirekt mäta egenskaper hos hjärnans mikrostruktur. Detta avhandlingsarbete vidareutvecklar de biofysikaliska modeller och mätmetoder som används för denna indirekta Diffusion MRI is widely used to study brain structure in vivo. While this technique is often applied to investigations of brain connectivity, it can also be used to infer specific information about the tissue microstructure; for example, to estimate the axon diameter. In the present work, the role of tissue microstructure and water exchange in biophysical models employed in diffusion MRI was inves

Artikeln beskriver ett framgångsrikt försök att förändra undervisningssättet i en tillämpad teknikkurs. Resultatet av förändringen är överlag nöjdare studenter samt ett bättre examinationsresultat.

In this paper we perform a minimum distance analysis of a class of two dimensional intersymbol interference channels. In particular, some important cases of multitrack multihead magnetic recording systems fall into the studied class. Previously, Soljanin and Georghiades have studied the same problem as we do. The results derived in this paper are more conclusive and they improve upon theirs. The f

There has been an increased focus in society on preparedness for emergency response in recent years. Today there is legislation that requires all Swedish authorities at the local, regional and national levels to prepare for emergency management and response. Since the task is rather new, most authorities are just beginning to address it. How the preparedness process should be designed and integrat

An introduction to Linnaeus' short but difficult medical treatise Clavis medicinae duplex (Stockholm 1766), understood as a way solving problems in 18th Censtury medical theory.

Feministiska teorier ger idag relevanta perspektiv på de flesta vetenskapliga discipliner. Samtidigt har det genusvetenskapliga fältets förståelse av kön och könsrelationer vidareutvecklas och expanderats under de senaste dryga tjugo åren. Grupper som historiskt sett har exkluderas från den vetenskapliga definitionen av det ”verkliga” intervenerar nu i en genusvetenskap som utgår från att det är o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Njurcancer är ungefär den 10:e vanligaste tumörformen i Sverige och diagnosticeras nästan dubbelt så ofta hos män som hos kvinnor. Tumörerna upptäcks vanligtvis i åldern mellan 50 och 70 år och de mest förekommande symtomen är blod i urinen och flanksmärtor. Varför man får njurcancer är inte känt, men det finns ett klart samband med rökning och asbest. Njurcancer kan upIn the present thesis normal kidney tissue and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) were studied by cytogenetic and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) methods to investigate chromosomal aberrations. In the first study, 4 samples of nonneoplastic kidney tissue were cultured for cytogenetic analysis and trisomy 7 was found in all cases in 3-15% of the cells. In the second study, cytogenetic analysis o

The aims were to study the biological, socio-demographic and psychosocial health profile in a geographically defined population of middle-aged women, with focus on features of the metabolic syndrome and diabetes, and to study the efficiency of a screening method for high-risk individuals and the outcome of baseline lifestyle advices on the diabetes incidence. All women aged 50-59 years (n=10766)
