In Study 1 (N = 120), pictures of violent behavior taking place within or between ethnic groups were rated under different instructions. A strong cross-over effect was found: interracial violence was reported as relatively more threatening under the instruction that the study concerned anxiety, whereas violence among Whites was reported as more threatening under the instruction that the study conc
The structures of N-t-butyl-2-(diphenylphosphino)benzylammoniumchloride and N-t-butyl-2-(diphenylphosphino)benzylaminediacetatepalladium(II) have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The Pd-complex was prepared by treating palladiumdiacetate with N-t-butyl-2-(diphenylphosphino)benzylamine in CH2Cl2 for 4 h at room temperature. The organic compound crystallises in the monoclinic space group P2
The research applies media discourse analysis and late modernity theory to the social construction of the transnational Oresund Region between the South of Sweden and East of Denmark. Based on interviews with PR sources and journalists, analysis of newspaper texts and opinion polls, the study found that despite trans-national aims the region is mainly constructed through Swedish or Danish national
In balance clinic practice, phobic postural vertigo is a term used to define a population with dizziness and avoidance behavior often as a consequence of a vestibular disorder. It has been described as the most common form of dizziness in middle aged patients in dizziness units. Anxiety disorders are common among patients with vestibular disorders. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is an effective trea
Popular Abstract in Swedish Glukos är kroppens viktigaste energikälla och distribueras via blodet. Hjärncellerna är helt beroende av glukos för sin energiförsörjning. Nervceller har dålig förmåga att lagra glukos och låga blodsockerhalter påverkar negativt dessa cellers funktion och kan ytterst leda till koma och död. Det är därför inte förvånande att blodsockerhalten normalt hålles inom ganska snAbstract The electrophysiological properties of insulin-secreting b-cells, glucagon-releasing a-cells and somatostation-producing d-cells in intact mouse pancreatic islets were investigated using the perforated patch whole-cell technique. It is demonstrated that it is possible to functionally identify the different cell types in situ. The ?-cells have a cell capacitance of 7.4 pF and differ from
Calculation of relative humidity and temperature in an early stage of the design process is important to avoid moisture damages in wooden walls. Previous studies show that a sufficient air flow in the air gap behind the façade panel is important to ensure a moisture safe construction. This study investigates if blind WUFI 5.0 calculations with a varied air flow in the air gap behind the façade giv
Aim This paper seeks to investigate whether alpine floras on isolated mountains in boreal forest show nestedness, and, if that is the case, to determine whether selective extinction or colonization is the likely cause of the observed patterns. Location Isolated mountains in the boreal coniferous forests of northern Sweden (province of Norrbotten, c. 66°N; 18°E). The timberline in the region probab
Cellulose is one of the most abundant biopolymers on earth. Several organisms degrade cellulose, one of the most studied is the fungus Trichoderma reesei which produces seven genetically different cellulases. In this thesis, a thorough study of the hydrolytic characteristics of the less studied endoglucanases Cel12A (EG III), Cel45A (EG V) and Cel61A (EG IV) of T. reesei is presented
This paper discusses the effects of cooled EGR on a turbocharged multi-cylinder HCCI engine. A six-cylinder, 12-liter, Scania D12 truck engine is modified for HCCI operation. It is fitted with port fuel injection of ethanol and n-heptane and cylinder pressure sensors for closed-loop combustion control. The effects of EGR are studied in different operating regimes of the engine. During idle, low sp
Semiconductor nanowires have many properties which makes them interesting for future electronic devices. The fact that they have very small diameters allow them to combine different III-V materials into heterostructures, and makes it possible to grow them on Si substrates which are the basis of nearly all current semiconductor technology. It also allows them to adopt the wurtzite crystal structure
The erection process of in-situ cast concrete frameworks in multi-storey housing involves a wide range of non-value adding activities, resulting in poor process efficiency. This paper describes the process and presents a model for discrete-event simulation of activities and resource use involved in the construction of in-situ cast concrete frameworks. The model simulates the work flow which is sub
Popular Abstract in Swedish En typisk egenskap för de flesta proteiner är att de kan binda specifikt och reversibelt till olika ämnen. Välkända exempel är enzymer som kan binda till olika substrat och inhibitorer samt antikroppar som binder till antigen. Under min tid som doktorand vid avdelningen för mikrobiologisk ekologi vid Lunds universitet har jag studerat en grupp av proteiner i svamp som kLectins defined as non-enzyme, non-immunoglobulin carbohydrate binding proteins, have been found in a wide variety of viruses, bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. Although lectins have been purified from more than 60 different species of fungi, the structure and biological functions of these proteins are not well known. I examined the molecular structure of a lectin (designated AOL) isolated from
Thin-section analysis of votive terracottas from the Etruscan sites Tessennano, Vulci, Tuscania and Tarquinia were made in order to help explaining the manufacturing process of votiv terracottas, with a focus on coice of raw material (clay and temper). The investigation of the material from these four sites has offered an opportunity to study Etruscan handicraft. The study has shown that e.g. that
