Popular Abstract in Swedish Journalistiken var genom alla år en vital del av Vilhelm Mobergs gärning, men den utgör en del av hans författarskap som inte tidigare ägnats en separat vetenskaplig studie. Avhandlingens syfte är att genom en studie av ett tidigare förbisett material bidra till att ge en fördjupad bild av ett centralt svenskt författarskap. Avhandlingen belyser Mobergs opinionsbildandeVilhelm Moberg (1898-1973) is one of the most well-known Swedish writers of the 20th century. In this dissertation attention is directed to his extensive journalism, a less well-known side of his authorship. The dissertation brings out and sheds light on a large number of his newspaper articles. An equally important part of his writing is his short controversial pamphlets. He also gave a large num

Popular Abstract in Swedish Om man betraktar ljuset fran en varm gas ser man att det har en viss färg som är beroende gasens kemiska sammansättning. Består gasen av endast ett ämne kan man genom att detaljstudera ljuset erhålla information som är specifik för just detta grundämnet. For varje grundämne finns ett mönster av spektrallinjer som bygger upp ämnets spektrum. Om spektrumen for många ämnenInvestigation of astrophysical plasmas, such as stellar atmospheres, require both knowledge of atomic structure and data. We present laboratory instruments, techniques and tools for acquisition of the data required to derive important atomic parameters such as, wavelengths, oscillator strengths and line profiles. In this thesis new atomic data for advancement of stellar atmosphere analysis are pre

Background: Type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its cardiovascular complications are increasing as health problems worldwide. These diseases are interrelated with overlapping occurrence and once diabetes is established, the risk of cardiorenal disease is dramatically elevated. Thus, a search for unifying modifiable risk factors is key for effective prevention. Summary: Elevated fasti

Critical infrastructures today are highly interdependent and increasingly important in providing services to the rest of the society. At the same time, each type of infrastructure requires specialised knowledge to design and manage. Therefore, to get a better understanding of how the infrastructures and the effect of interdependencies work as a whole, it is necessary to have an interdisciplinary a

The debate around the oxidation states occurring in laboratory-prepared tin-oxide samples has been for a long time an obstacle for an unambiguous assignment of characterization studies performed on such samples. In particular the changes in the Sn core-level energies caused by oxidation - i.e. the chemical shifts - as measured by photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) have been under discussion. The ass

Popular Abstract in Swedish Eld har fascinerat människan i alla tider. Att sitta och värma sig vid en lägereld, sjunga sånger eller bara titta på hur elden rör sig är något de flesta har upplevt. Hur många har egentligen funderat på var värmen kommer ifrån, hur den gula färgen uppstår eller vad eld egentligen består av? Några av frågorna finns det nu svar på, men fortfarande finns det mycket att uThe work presented in the thesis covers the use of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and photofragmentation laser-induced fluorescence (PFLIF) with short laser pulses to determine species concentrations in different combustion environments. To attain quantitative species concentrations using LIF investigations of the influence of collisional quenching on the fluorescence signal strength is of vital

The necessity of a canon had been restated, but literature, meanwhile, had lost a good share of its public. The self-referential syndrome evolved into an epidemic: there was a problem of reader-response approach at that moment. The public shrank and the cultural world became endogamous. This meant that a large part of the public was actually made of writers who craved for climbing the literary lad

The thesis describes the use of molecular motors in nanofabricated devices designed for potential applications in biosensing, computation and detection. We utilize the well-established guiding principles for controlling the motion of actin filaments propelled by myosin molecular motors, and build upon these developments in order to improve upon previously demonstrated techniques, and establish new

Can an educational programme develop tomorrow’s leaders? Can the mindset and skill set found in successful leaders be taught and learnt in educational programmes? This paper presents a leadership program, a cross disciplinary master programme atLund University, Sweden. The students study technology and management, however, the programme’s unique value proposition lies in its focus on leadership.Th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröd har varit ett av våra viktigaste baslivsmedel sedan antiken (700 f.Kr. – 400 e.Kr.) och kommer med all sannolikhet också fortsätta att vara en viktig del av vår föda även i framtiden. Det i Sverige rekommenderade dagliga intaget (RDI) av kostfiber är 25-35g. Utav dessa kostfibrer bör hälften komma från bröd (33%) och andra spannmålsprodukter (17%), vilket motsvararBread products are one of the most common and important foods in our daily diet, and have been since ancient times. Although it has a long history and comes in many variations, the staling phenomenon of bread is still not fully known. Staling is a complex phenomenon that includes all the physical and sensorial changes occurring in bread during storage. To gain a better understanding of staling, di

BACKGROUND: Though school-aged children (SAC) are at high risk of malaria, they are the ones that benefit the least from malaria prevention measures. A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of malaria prevention education (MPE) on insecticide-treated bed net (ITN) utilization and prompt diagnosis, reported incidence and treatment (PDAT) of malaria. Qualitative ev

Identifying operational losses in irrigation canals can be difficult due to inaccurate simplification in designing and operating national guidelines. However, this study aims to provide a practical solution to this problem by identifying operational losses, which are the primary cause of off-farm irrigation water losses. The method involves simulating the daily delivered water to individual Irriga

This article describes two inter-related research projects concerned with the teaching and learning of English in contemporary contexts, where English is changing its status from being the first language of specific groups of speakers to becoming a global lingua franca. Focussing respectively on learners of English as a second language (L2 users) in the Netherlands and Sweden, and on native speake

Occupational therapists support and enable people to partake in occupations or activities that are important to them; that they need/want/are expected to do. Occupational therapists are increasingly involved in services addressing the impact that social inequalities can have on peoples’ wellbeing. One way in which occupational therapy students in NUI Galway learn relevant skills is through service

Binge eating disorder (BED) is associated with several psychological and medical problems, such as obesity. Approximately 30% of individuals seeking weight loss treatments present binge eating symptomatology. Moreover, current treatments for BED lack efficacy at follow-up assessments. Developing mindfulness and self-compassion seem to be beneficial in treating BED, although there is still room for

Background: One way to measure quality of care is by measuring satisfaction of provided care among patients and their families. EMpowerment of PArents in THe Intensive Care 30 (EMPATHIC-30) is a self-reported questionnaire grounded on the principles of FCC aiming to measure parents' satisfaction with paediatric intensive care. There is lack of Swedish questionnaires measuring satisfaction with pae

Background: Few studies have focused on the prevalence of abdominal obesity in Chinese middle-aged and older adults with a normal body mass index (BMI). Furthermore, it is still unclear whether abdominal obesity is an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Participants with a normal BMI are usually neglected during assessments of abdominal obesity-associated T2DM risk since t

Background: Cognitive reserve and resilience are terms used to explain interindividual variability in maintenance of cognitive health in response to adverse factors, such as brain pathology in the context of aging or neurodegenerative disorders. There is substantial interest in identifying tractable substrates of resilience to potentially leverage this phenomenon into intervention strategies. One
