Popular Abstract in Swedish Föreliggande avhandling, I litteraturens mittfåra, behandlar bokmarknad, bokklubbar och litteraturen under 1970-talet i Sverige. Bakgrunden till undersökningen är de radikala förändringar som skedde på den svensk bokmarknaden efter den genomgripande avregleringen av handeln med böcker 1970. Bokklubbarna växte från att inneha en marknadsandel på 9% 1970 till att ha 30% a
Popular Abstract in English The sesquiterpene lactones is an important group of natural products, and they are present in many medicinal plants. Their most important biological activities are anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activity, although for many decades their potential use as drugs was dismissed. The main reason for this was their alkylating capacity, reacting with thiol functions in proteDamsin (1) is a natural sesquiterpene lactone (SL) isolated from Ambrosia arborescens Mill., a plant used in the Andes as antiinflammatory medicine. This natural product is an inhibitor of NF- κB, a protein complex that controls the transcription of many genes in mammalian cells, and has a potential for standing model for the development of new anti-cancer lead structures. In order to improve the
Parasol is a computer program for calculating the solar and thermal properties of windows with sunshades and the energy demands of a room with a window/shading system. The program has three main features. One of them is a calculation of g, T and U for normal incidence of beam irradiation, which is performed as soon as a window or an internal/interpane sunshade is selected. The other two are based
We present an experimental and theoretical study of the F-2(5/2) -> F-2(7/2) M1 transition in Ag-like W (W27+). The experiments employed the Shanghai permanent magnet electron beam ion trap, which has been developed especially for assisting spectroscopic diagnostics of edge plasmas for magnetic fusion devices. The theoretical value was obtained using the GRASP2K set of computer codes and included
Methodology: The method used is a single case study in a high tech company in Sweden, leader in network camera market. This work is a qualitative research, in which an inductive method and deductive analysis has been applied. Grounded-theory techniques have been used; eight semi-structured interviews were conducted-carefully and objectively selected following purposive sampling. Theoretical persp
This paper aims to answer how well affective commitment and leadership efficacy can be predicted by leadership style and gender expression in a voluntary setting. It is expected that invitational leadership, transformational leadership and gender expression predict the two dependent variables. It is also expected that there is a difference within affective commitment and leadership efficacy by sex
BACKGROUND: A fracture in childhood is associated with low bone mineral density (BMD), but it is debated whether a fracture at growth also predicts low BMD in young adulthood. PURPOSE: To gender-specifically evaluate whether children with a fracture are at increased risk of low BMD in young adulthood. METHODS: Distal forearm BMD (g/cm(2) ) was measured with single photon absorptiometry (SPA) i
The small protein α-synuclein is strongly associated with Parkinson’s disease. This protein is found in inclusion bodies, named lewy bodies inside neurons of people suffering from the disease. α-synuclein is very abundant in the human brain, and its normal function is still elusive and unclear. The factors that trigger the accumulation and fibrillation of this protein into pathogenic inclusion bod
BackgroundImpact of rectal tumour location on risk of lymph node metastases (LNM) and recurrence in early RC is poorly studied and elusive. Tumour location as a prognostic factor may contribute to optimise management of early RC in the future. The aim of this study was to investigate rectal tumour location as an independent predictor of oncologic outcome in early rectal cancer (RC).MethodsRetrospeBACKGROUND: Impact of rectal tumour location on risk of lymph node metastases (LNM) and recurrence in early RC is poorly studied and elusive.

Background: Portal vein embolization (PVE) may be used to induce hypertrophy of the future liver remnant (FLR) before major hepatectomy. The influence of hyperbilirubinemia on FLR hypertrophy after PVE is controversial. The aim of this study was to compare FLR hypertrophy after PVE between patients with and without elevated P-bilirubin. Materials/methods: This is a Scandinavian retrospective cohor
Electric power grids have a limited capacity for safe and reliable transfer of power. Due to the ongoing large-scale expansion of variable renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, there is a growing need for rapid gridcapacity increase.This thesis explores methods for improving and expanding grid capacity through control of converter-interfaced energy resources, including wind and solar pElectric power grids have a limited capacity for safe and reliable transfer of power.

For almost a century, the knock-resisting ability of a spark ignition fuel has been quantified with the RON and MON indications, conforming to the corresponding ASTM-D2699 and D2700 methods, respectively. These testing methods rely on specific pressure pickup technology that acts like a low-pass signal filter, thereby cutting off high frequency cylinder pressure information. Within a second-genera
Argonauts of industry: Knowledge gathering and technologies in use in Sweden’s industrial breakthroughIn this article we explore how knowledge transfer about industrial production and new technologies affected Sweden’s rapid industrialisation in the second half of the nineteenth century. Focusing on two case studies taken from the Swedish glass and gunpowder industries, we argue for the importanceArgonauts of industry: Knowledge gathering and technologies in use in Sweden’s industrial breakthroughIn this article we explore how knowledge transfer about industrial production and new technologies affected Sweden’s rapid industrialisation in the second half of the nineteenth century.

Security and sustainability are prioritized goals in the “Western liberal” world. Maintaining democratic resources while simultaneously strengthening society’s ability to deal with security issues firmly resonates with ideals associated with social sustainability. However, merging normative theories like security and social sustainability produces conceptual difficulties that are hard to resolve.
This psychometric study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX) following a cardiac event, and to examine the relationship between self- and informant-ratings. Approximately 7 months post-cardiac event, 196 participants and their informants (N = 179) completed the DEX. Reliability was assessed by confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency esThis psychometric study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX) following a cardiac event, and to examine the relationship between self- and informant-ratings.

The importance of genetic factors in the etiology of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is suggested by case-control and cohort studies. Most previous studies have been too small to estimate accurately risks of specific categories of lymphoproliferative malignancies in relatives of NHL cases or to quantify the contribution of NHL case characteristics to familial risk. We have overcome sample size limitati
