Popular Abstract in SwedishDenna avhandling studerar relationer mellan film och historia. Tesen som drivs är följande: Film utgör ett i stora delar outnyttjat historiskt källmaterial som alltid säger mer av empiriskt värde om sin produktionskontext än det gör om perioden som skildras. Denna tes bygger vidare på resonemang kring film och historia som genom åren har framlagts av företrädesvis historThe hypothesis put forward in this thesis stipulates that films always say more of empirical value about the time in which they are produced than they do about the periods they depict. The aim is not only to prove that such an idea is valid, but also that it might be transformed into a new and applicable theory in studies of film and history. Here, this is done in contextualized analyses of the pr

Designs for Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) are quite well advanced,but the requirements of instruments have had limited impact. Sinceprovision of a suitable environment for instruments is a critical aspectof all telescopes, we outline some well-known and some less-appreciatedchallenges of designing instruments for ELTs. A wide-field spectrometer(WFSPEC) with ~10 arcmin field-of-view, probably w

During the last decade, a new design of schools with fan assisted natural ventilation has been introduced. Experience and knowledge of this type of ventilation system is therefore needed. The objective of the project is to study the technical and physical conditions required to ensure satisfactory ventilation. The whole project includes analyses of the air flows for different combinations of outdo

Recently BRCA1 has been implicated in the regulation of gene expression from the X chromosome. In this study the influence of BRCA1 on expression of X chromosome genes was investigated. Complementary DNA microarrays were used to compare the expression levels of X chromosome genes in 18 BRCA1-associated ovarian cancers to those of the 13 "BRCA1-like" and 14 "BRCA2-like" sporadic tumors (as defined

Transcriptomics analysis revealed that genes involved in hepatic de novo cholesterol synthesis were down-regulated in fed HSL-null mice that had been on high-fat diet (HFD) for 6 months. This finding prompted a further analysis of cholesterol metabolism in HSL-null mice, which was performed in fed and 16-h fasted mice on a normal chow diet (ND) or a HFD regimen. Plasma cholesterol was elevated in

Popular Abstract in Swedish Av pedagogiska skäl har anförts att det finns behov av mer kunskaper om människans tänkande om och förhållningssätt till munhälsa och tandvård. Syftet med denna undersökning var att undersöka och beskriva vuxna människors subjektiva tänkande om och förhållningssätt till munhälsa för att belysa faktorer som bidrar till eller utgör hinder för förändring av handlingsberedsThe need, for health educational reasons, of obtaining a more adequate understanding of how people think and act in connection with questions of dental health and professional dental care has been emphasized. The present study examines the attitudes and conceptions of adult individuals regarding their own dental health, as well as measures they take to further it. The aim is to elucidate factors t

Stability of some decentralized traffic signal control policies for urban traffic networks is studied. It is proven that, whenever the arrival rates belong to a certain region -which is the largest where stability is possible- the resulting traffic network dynamics admit a globally asymptotically stable equilibrium. The results rely on the use of some entropy-like Lyapunov functions previously con

Popular Abstract in Swedish Första delen: Kontextualisering av trinitariska personbegrepp Kapitel ett: Inledning Avhandling analyserar och diskuterar konstruktionen av ett relationellt personbegrepp i nutida trinitarisk teologi. Det större sammanhanget för avhandlingens tema är den nutida filosofins och teologins fokusering på relationaliteten och ’den andre’. Detta sammanhang kännetecknas av en This thesis analyses and discusses the construction of a relational concept of personhood in contemporary Trinitarian theology. The thesis discusses both a Trinitarian and an anthropological concept of personhood. The investigation is carried out on three levels. The first part is a historical and contemporary contextualisation of the construction of a relational concept of personhood. The broader

With her 1953 debut Anna Rydstedt (1928-1994) immediately became part of a strong tradition of Swedish women poets, a tradition represented by authors such as Karin Boye and Edith Södergran. The debut was a furious attack on those who had thwarted her attempts to become a minister in the Church of Sweden. Rydstedt’s poetry is always existential, both in its content and process. Writing, for her, i

An audio-tactile interactive tourist guide is demonstrated, including the possibility to be guided to points of interest. In contrast with the key-hole like experience of on-screen augmented reality, this guide makes use of the non-visual modalities to create a more immersive augmented experience. Sound windows from the past and verbal historical information complement discrete tactile guidance al

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ämnet för min avhandling är den viktorianska guvernantromanen. I artonhundratalets England var arbetet som guvernant ett av de få yrken som stod öppna för medelklasskvinnor. Genom att arbetsförhållandena ofta var svåra, kom den samtida debatten om guvernanternas eländiga situation att bli livlig. Den stora mängd artiklar och böcker om deras låga löner, illa definierade This thesis investigates the Victorian governess novel as a specific genre. A comprehensive set of nineteenth-century governess novels has been examined in relation to contemporary non-fictional sources dealing with governess work and female education. It is argued that by sharing many characteristics regarding presentations of social situations, rhetoric, and argument with the contemporary debate

Transmitted vibrations from water-pipe systems, involving supports standing on a concrete slab and the underlying ground, are investigated here. The effects of varying parameters of the supports, such as location, their elastic modulus and their cross-section, on the level of vibrations transmitted by the water-pipe system are analysed in order to minimise vibrations transmitted to sensitive parts

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) belongs to the Hepacivirus genus in the Flaviviridae family. Among the least known viral proteins in this family is the nonstructural protein NS4B, which has been suggested to be a part of the replication complex. Hydrophobicity plots indicate a common profile among the NS4B proteins from different members of the Flaviviridae family, suggesting a common function. In order t

Abstract in French Description. Afin d'orienter les recherches futures dans les domaines des aides techniques et des questions liées à l'environnement physique, il est important de bien comprendre les études menées précédemment. But. Cette recension des écrits avait pour but de déterminer la manière selon laquelle les aides techniques et les questions touchant l'environnement physique ont été étudBackground. To determine future directions for research in the area of assistive technology and physical environmental issues, it is important to have an understanding of prior research. Purpose. This literature review examined how assistive technology and physical environmental issues have been studied in the research published in international peer-reviewed occupational therapy journals.
