The present study concerns the application of a large eddy simulation (LES) model, capable of dealing with chemical reactions described by multistep reaction mechanisms and thermal radiation. The LES model, based on prefiltering of the balance equations of mass, momentum, and energy contains a variety of submodels far representing the residual stress tensor and flux vectors and the filtered reacti

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arbetet undersöker utvecklingar i romanen och novellen av författare som växte upp under New Order (1966-1998). Det är baserat på en survey av de båda genrerna, främst novellen som är tämligen omfattande. Avhandlingen övergår i en diskursanalys av form och innehåll som är relaterade till frågor ställda i inledningen, vilka rör förändringar och riktningar, och specifikt The work examines developments in the novel and the short story of writers who grew up during the New Order era (1966-1998) in the period of reform post 1998. It is assumed and subsequently affirmed that the genres are developing, modern genres in dialogue with the past and present. The work's main use of theory is that of M. M. Bakhtin's ideas of dialogism. The assumption of 'novelization' is fra

Training a managerial elite able to conduct business efficiently on the global market is unanimously presented as of utmost importance for success in today's globalized economy. The aim of the chapter is to analyse, whith a broadly postcolonial sensibility, the discourses on culture found in some well-known books that 1) claim to emphasize the cultural factor, and 2) present themselves as "interna

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling behandlar jag frågor om nattvardens liturgi och teologi i nya mässliturgier. I huvudsak koncentreras uppgiften till en analys av 65 nya mässliturgier som används i Svenska kyrkan och som jämförs med liturgin i Svenska kyrkans nu gällande kyrkohandbok. Ämnesområden som ansluter till avhandlingens huvuduppgift är gudstjänstförnyelse, nattvardsteologi ocIn this dissertation, I discuss issues concerning the liturgy and the theology of the Eucharist in new mass liturgies. The main task is focused on an analysis of 65 new mass liturgies that have been used in the Church of Sweden and which are here compared to the liturgy provided in the current Church of Sweden Service Book. Subjects closely related to the main task of this thesis include the renew

Popular Abstract in Swedish Samhällets stöd, service och vård till människor med psykiska funktionshinder har under de senaste decennierna genomgått stora förändringar. Det har skett en övergång från slutna till samhällsbaserade öppna vårdformer. De kraftiga nedskärningarna av den sjukhusbaserade psykiatriska vården har emellertid långt ifrån alltid ersatts med ett heltäckande och fungerande vård-All clients admitted to ten pilot case management services for individuals with severe mental illness during 1995 and up to 1996-09-30 were invited to participate in the present study. A total of 176 clients were included. The clients were in all services assessed at admission and at an 18 months follow-up with regard to needs of care, psychosocial functioning. Use of health care and social servic

Photoinduced electron transfer processes in dye-semiconductor systems are studied employing a recently proposed method based on a model Hamiltonian where the parameters are determined by first-principles electronic structure calculations. The systems investigated include the molecules pyridine and perylene, which are anchored via phosphonic or carboxylic acid groups to a titanium dioxide nanoclust

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the causative agent of gonorrhea, a disease that is restricted to humans. Complement forms a key arm of the innate immune system that combats gonococcal infections. N. gonorrhoeae uses its outer membrane porin (Por) molecules to bind the classical pathway of complement down-regulatory protein C4b-binding protein (C4bp) to evade killing by human complement. Strains of N. go

Background: Electrocardiogram-derived grades of ischemia at the time of patient presentation with acute myocardial infarction have proved useful in predicting the salvageability by reperfusion therapy, final infarct size, severity of left ventricular dysfunction, and short- and long-term prognosis. Subjects and Methods: The Sclarovsky-Birnbaum Ischemia Grading System based on the relation between

The "core-hole clock" implementation of resonant photoemission has been used to investigate the charge-transfer dynamics of bi-isonicotinic acid molecules (4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine) adsorbed on a rutile TiO2(110) surface containing varying densities of gold islands. In the presence of, nominally, a few monolayers of gold there exists a strong coupling between the adsorbed molecules and the s

Background : Reduced taste and smell, chewing problems and swallowing dysfunction are common among elderly people and affect perception, food choice and the ability to eat. Objective : To study the preference for texture-modified carrot and meat products in elderly people aiming to meet the needs of people with impaired chewing and/or swallowing. Design : Data were collected using questionnaires

Tissue-based diagnostics and research is incessantly evolving with the development of new molecular tools. It has long been realized that immunohistochemistry can add an important new level of information on top of morphology and that protein expression patterns in a cancer may yield crucial diagnostic and prognostic information. We have generated an immunohistochemistry-based map of protein expre

Glucagon release upon hypoglycemia is an important homeostatic mechanism utilized by vertebrates to restore blood glucose to normal. Glucagon secretion itself is triggered by Ca2+ influx through voltage-gated ion channels, and the gene inactivation of R-type Ca2+ channels, with Ca(v)2.3 as the ion conducting subunit, has been shown to disturb glucose homeostasis. To understand how glucagon release
