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

Abstract We investigated the female-produced sex pheromone of the solitary bee Andrena nigroaenea and compared it with floral scent of the sexually deceptive orchid Ophrys sphegodes which is pollinated by Andrena nigroaenea males. We identified physiologically and behaviorally active compounds by gas chromatography with electroantennographic detection, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and beh

The molecular mechanism of substrate analogue interaction with Escherichia coli dUTPase was investigated, using the non-hydrolyzable 2'-deoxyuridine 5'-(α,β-imido)triphosphate (α,β-imido-dUTP). Binding of this analogue induces a difference in the far UV circular dichroism (CD) spectrum arguing for a significant change in protein conformation. The spectral shift is strictly Mg2+-dependent, does not

Aims: To test the hypothesis that there is lower prevalence of islet antibodies in subjects with newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetes mellitus in young adulthood than in children is associated with less severe diabetes at time of diagnosis. Methods: This investigation was based on a nationwide study (Diabetes Incidence Study in Sweden) of 15-34-year-old newly diagnosed diabetic subjects. During 1992-19

Six different ionomers having various aromatic polymer backbones with pendant 2-sulfobenzoyl side chains were prepared by nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions of lithium 2,6-difluoro-2′-sulfobenzophenone with 4,4-biphenol, 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene, 4,4-isopropylidenediphenol, 4,4-dihydroxydiphenyl ether, 4,4′-thiodiphenol, and 4,4′-thiobisbenzenethiol, respectively, to produce four poly(ar

Introduction Mechanical ventilation can be monitored by analysing particles in exhaled air as measured by particle flow rate (PFR). This could be a potential method of detecting ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) before changes in conventional parameters can be detected. The aim of this study was to investigate PFR during different ventilation modes in patients without lung pathology. Method A

Background: The gracilis tendon is commonly used as an autograft to reconstruct torn tendons or ligaments in many parts of the body. Little is known about the subjective and functional outcome after gracilis tendon harvest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of the donor leg in patients undergoing such surgery. Methods: Patients with chronic acromioclavicular joint dislocations unde

The aim of this study was to investigate a relationship between FVL-mutation and levels of haemoglobin (Hb) in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE). From March 1998 to December 2005, 927 consecutive patients with objectively diagnosed VTE were registered in the Malmö Thrombophilia Study (MATS). Female patients with FVL-mutation below 50 years of age had significantly higher median-Hb (133 vs

While the international community spends enormous amounts of money engaging in peacebuilding efforts, scholars are increasing questioning what effect this actually has on the development of peace. Despite extensive economic contributions to post-conflict societies with the hope of ensuring peace, little development on the ground has been recorded. This raises a question of why provision of economi

Title: Green is the new normal: An exploratory study of how slow fashion companies encourage normalization of sustainability initiatives in the retail store Date of seminar: June 5th 2019 Course name: BUSN39 Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Jennifer Phan & Xinyi Yao Supervisor: Andrea Lucarelli Key words: social normalization, social and personal norms, communication strategies

The customary way to determine whether an adopted Supplemental Instruction (SI) program has been successful or not is by comparing course results for two groups, SI attendees and non-attendees. The division of SI attendees and non-attendees is generally done rather arbitrarily by prescribing a minimum number of SI sessions a student has to attend to be considered an SI attendee. Although the SI at

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the use of creative techniques in documentary: Dear Zachary through visual storytelling. As well as analyze how the use of visual storytelling in Dear Zachary relates to theoretical boundaries within documentary filmmaking and the concerns from the journalistic field. The documentary: Dear Zachary is an inspiring story about grief, love and perseverance. This c

During the Secret War in Laos, 1964-1973, the United States dropped approximately 2 million tons of bombs in Laos. However, 30% of the employed bombs failed to detonate. It is estimated that 78 million unexploded ordance (UXO) still contaminate the land of Laos. This paper therefore aims to explore how UXO affect the possibilities for the rural population in Houamoung district to attain a sustaina
