This article is divided into two parts. In the first part, preliminary reports on the archaeological work conducted at the sanctuary during the years 2012 and 2013 is presented, and in the second part, two conservation projects are discussed. The first part includes a description of the excavations at the Split Rock by Lars Karlsson, an account of the excavations on the slope of the Monumental Tom
This work shows a unique possibility of visualizing the exponential intensity decay due to light extinction, when laser radiation propagates through a homogeneous scattering medium. This observation implies that the extracted intensity mostly originates from single scattering events. The filtering of this single light scattering intensity is performed by means of a single-phase structured illumina
There is substantial evidence that preschooler’s performance in early math is highly correlated to math performance throughout school as well as academic skills in general. One way to help children attain early math skills is by using targeted educational software and the paper discusses potential gains of using such software to support early math development. Furthermore it is argued that the con
Background and purpose - The pathophysiology behind bis-phosphonate-associated atypical femoral fractures remains unclear. Histological findings at the fracture site itself may provide clues. Patients and methods - Between 2008 and 2013, we collected bone biopsies including the fracture line from 4 complete and 4 incomplete atypical femoral fractures. 7 female patients reported continuous bisphosp
As semiconductor technologies enables highly advanced an complex integrated circuits (ICs), there is an increasing need to have more embedded design-for-test (DfT) instruments for test, debug, diagnosis, configuration, monitoring, etc. As these instruments are to be used not only at chip-level but also at board-level and system-level, a key challenge is how to access these instruments from chip te
Objective. To establish a high-throughput system for testing the ability of drugs or monoclonal antibodies to reduce the in vitro formation of cystatin C dimers to identify substances potentially useful for treatment of patients with hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy (HCCAA). Methods. Various combinations of incubation temperature, time period, guanidinium chloride concentration and concent
Nitrogen leaching from boreal and temporal forests, where normally most of the nitrogen is retained, has the potential to increase acidification of soil and water and eutrophication of the Baltic Sea. In parts of Sweden, where the nitrogen deposition has been intermediate to high during recent decades, there are indications that the soils are close to nitrogen saturation. In this study, four diffe
The interactions of lipid based cubic liquid crystalline nanoparticles (Cubosome (R)) with surface supported model membranes constituted of dioleylphosphatidylcholine ( DOPC) have been studied in situ by use of ellipsometry, quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring and neutron reflectivity. The systems investigated were cubic phase dispersions of glycerol monooleate (GMO) stabilised
The aim of this thesis is to critically investigate and problematize the Swedish Teacher Unions’ use of the concept of professionalism within the political negotiation of how to ascribe meaning and content to the idea of teacher professionalism within contemporary Swedish education debates. Departing from two recent educational reforms – the certification of teachers and the reformation of teacher
Denna artikel behandlar frågan om multilaterala förmedlingsavgifter i kortbetalningssystem kan vara konkurrensbegränsande även om huvuddelen av transaktionerna sker till bilateralt bestämda avgifter. Det visas med hjälp av förhandlingsteori att sådana avgifter kan ha konkurrensbegränsande effekter. Olika nivåer på en multilateral avgift påverkar nämligen parternas konfliktutfall och en högt satt a
Menadione (Vitamin K3) has anti-tumoral effects against a wide range of cancer cells. Its potential toxicity to normal cells and narrow therapeutic range limit its use as single agent but in combination with radiation or other anti-neoplastic agents can be of therapeutic use. In this paper, we first evaluated the early (within 3 h) effect of menadione on ongoing DNA replication. In normal rat cere
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal malignancy of the female reproductive tract. Due to vague symptomatology, the majority of EOC patients are diagnosed in advanced clinical stages with poor survival rates, despite improvements in surgical techniques and the advent of targeted therapeutics. Hence, there is an urgent need to identify novel biomarkers of early diagnosis, prognosis and
Religionssociologi är ett brett ämnesområde som belyser de sociala funktionerna av religion i dåtid likväl som i nutid. En av de nutida viktiga aspekterna av religionens sociala natur är dess förhållande till etnicitet. Etnicitet har under den senare delen av 1900-talet varit ett framträdande sätt att kategorisera grupper. Samtidigt har det framförts tankar om att denna form av social kategoriseri
Purpose: To test the hypothesis that the joint distribution of x-ray transmission and dark-field signals obtained with a compact cone-beam preclinical scanner with a polychromatic source can be used to diagnose pulmonary emphysema in ex vivo murine lungs. Materials and Methods: The animal care committee approved this study. Three excised murine lungs with pulmonary emphysema and three excised muri
Objectives To develop a score for assessment of patients' symptoms in primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS): the EULAR SS Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI). Methods Dryness, pain, somatic and mental fatigue were identified as the main symptoms of patients with primary SS, in studies developing the Profile of Fatigue and Discomfort (PROFAD) and Sicca Symptoms Inventory (SSI). It was suspected that a single
