Abstract in UndeterminedSometimes energy security is used as an advocacy for renewable energy systems. Although renewable energy systems can surely have such characteristics they will not per se solve all types of security problems, and new problems will most certainly arise. In this paper, energy security aspects of renewable energy systems are analysed taking the starting point in a broad typolo
Popular Abstract in Swedish Dagens storskaliga tillverkning baseras på varor med relativt kort livstid och lågt pris. Vinsterna för tillverkarna kommer från den stora mängden sålda varor. Det finns dock inom många industribranscher krympande vinstmarginaler och många företag söker därför efter nya källor för att uppnå bättre rörelseresultat. Även miljöfrågorna är en utmaning för industrin. VäxandeLife cycle environmental problems have been addressed by a number of strategies. However, the results are mostly lamentable because solutions are searched for within the same paradigms that give rise to the problems. This research questions the vision of linear material growth and searches for ways to sustain economic growth without putting the natural environment under stress. The research explor
Few revolutions have had such an impact in modern times as the Cuban Revolution in 1959. Numerous publications (books, articles, and dissertations) have been written about it. Opinions about it have diverged. The revolution has been an inspiration for many, contested and even detested by others. In 1961, the Cuban Revolution took a radical turn when Fidel Castro declared that the revolution was so
We demonstrate proof of principle of an efficient and simple method combining sample preparation and stretching of DNA in a single device that can be used as basis for an integrated portable system for optical DNA mapping. An important bottleneck for DNA mapping, as well as for other methods, is the isolation of long DNA molecules from a background of contaminants such as shorter DNA fragments, dy
We present the first one-step acoustic separation of high quality plasma and mononuclear cells (MNCs) from undiluted human whole blood. This enables centrifugation-free integration in analytical instrumentation.

Det oumbärliga klassrummet – en framställning på kognitionsvetenskaplig grund är en bok med grundskolans klassrum, elever och lärare i fokus. Det är också en bok om vilka former av kunnande som är nödvändiga att en ung människa får med sig från skolan.Framställningen har kognitionsvetenskaplig grund och förhåller sig genomgående till grundskolans syfte: att stödja barn och unga i deras vuxenblivan
Title: The future is looking bright - Studies of burnout among musicians and music teachers. Since late 1970's, the burn-out-syndrome has been researched in several ways, especially among people working in care-oriented employments. The object with this study is to find out the biggest issues about why musicians and music teachers burn themselves out. This is based on musicians and music teach
We have developed an assay, based on nanofluidic channels and fluorescence microscopy, for optical mapping of DNA based on competitive binding between two molecules - one fluorescent and one sequence selective. From the experimental data we can extract binding constants for the two competing DNA binders, which may be subsequently used to calculate a theoretical reference map of any DNA with known
Amyloid beta peptides (Aβ) proteins play a key role in vascular pathology in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) including impairment of the blood–brain barrier and aberrant angiogenesis. Although previous work has demonstrated a pro-angiogenic role of Aβ, the exact mechanisms by which amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing and endothelial angiogenic signalling cascades interact in AD remain a largely un
Common remediation and land management approaches often preclude economically attractive and low risk brownfield redevelopment. The authors argue that recently developed dynamic site characterization techniques can greatly improve sound decision making on land revitalization options. A number of these in-situ soil and groundwater test methods, such as MIP, ROST™/UVOST™, XRF and BAT, based on geote
This chapter describes methods and procedures that can be used to calculate the absorbed dose distribution based on quantitative SPECT/PET images. In this context, quantitative images mean images corrected for various physical effects (among them are photon attenuation, scatter contribution, dead time) in such a way that the values of each voxel can then be translated into units of activity by a c
