Popular Abstract in Swedish Målet för ceramologisk forskning är att studera och beskriva keramikhantverkstraditioner : krukmakarna, deras produktion och sociala organisation samt användningen af keramikprodukterna. Kunskapen om keramiken gör det möjligt också att studera de mänskliga handlingarna, som keramiken tog del i. Den föreliggande avhandlingen söker att avtäcka kontakt-mönstre mellan olikaThe objective of ceramology is to describe pottery craft traditions; the potters, their production, social organisation and the use of the products. Through this the human actions surrounding the pottery are studied. The objective of the research presented in this thesis is to study patterns of contacts between different, contemporary sites within a limited area through a ceramological analysis of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar om stam- och progenitorceller från den embryonala mushjärnan. Jag har studerat dessa cellers förmåga att växa in vitro (utanför kroppen) samt efter transplantation till hjärnan hos vuxna och nyfödda råttor. Forskning om stamceller har länge varit ett populärt och uppmärksammat forskningsområde, men under de senaste åren har intresset i det närmaIn this thesis we have used cells dissected from the lateral ganglionic eminence (LGE), the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE), and the cortical primordium of the embryonic mouse forebrain. The tissue was dissected from either i) wild-type mice, ii) green fluorescent protein (GFP)-, or iii) Gtv-a-expressing transgenic mice, and subsequently grown and expanded in vitro using two different protocols.

In line with current tendencies of ‘new modes of governance’, this essay introduces judicial tools, which strike a balance between the respect for national autonomy in individual assessments and the effective implementation of Community law. The balance is struck through the demands of structural guarantees; administrative safeguards, which weed out arbitrary national decision-making. These admini

This thesis, which is based on five original papers, covers different aspects of antibody specificity and diversity, with the overall goal to understand the makeup of antibody repertoires and their functionality as they occur in vivo or as they are developed in the laboratory. Besides their importance in the adaptive immune response, antibodies have emerged as an invaluable tool in applications r

Context. The study of the Milky Way relies on our ability to interpret the light from stars correctly. With the advent of the astrometric ESA mission Gaia we will enter a new era where the study of the Milky Way can be undertaken on much larger scales than currently possible. In particular we will be able to obtain full 3D space motions of red giant stars at large distances. This calls for a reinv

We present two novel earth observation products derived from the BESD and EMMA XCO2 products which were respectively retrieved from SCIAMACHY and GOSAT observations within the GreenHouse Gas project of ESA's Climate Change Initiative (GHG-CCI). These products are inferred by a Carbon Cycle Data Assimilation System (CCDAS) and consist of net and gross biosphere-atmosphere fluxes of carbon dioxide o

A design of experiments analysis was performed to investigate the effects of pilot quantity, combustion phasing and exhaust gas recirculation on performance and emissions in a gasoline partially premixed combustion to find out the optimal combination of the all varied parameters. The experimental activities were performed on a light-duty Volvo Euro 6 diesel engine. The test was performed under ste

Cancer development depends on cells aquiring a skillset of limitless growth and finally invasive properties to allow for metastasis, as summarised by the six hallmarks of cancer. Recently four more hallmarks have been added: genomic instability, deregulating cellular metabolism, tumour-promoting inflammation and avoiding immune destruction. This thesis focuses on the latter two: immune system and

Global comparative studies of the links between economic growth, carbon emissions and ecological footprints as well as social inequality demonstrate that current Western production and consumption patterns and welfare standards are incompatible with environmental limits and IPCC climate targets. To allow for catch-up' development in poorer countries, rich countries would need to ‘degrow’. Against

Collaborative networks are widely employed as mechanisms to develop innovative responses in challenging environments. This approach has relevance in the area of regional development particularly where food production and tourism are two significant sectors underpinning regions. These two industries have conventionally operated as single sectors independent of each other. However, an inability to r

During the late Eocene there was an enigmatic enhancement in the flux of extraterrestrial material to Earth. Evidence comes from sedimentary 3He records indicating an increased flux of interplanetary dust during ca. 2 Myr, as well as two very large impact structures, Popigai (100 km diameter) and Chesapeake Bay (40–85 km), that formed within 10–20 kyr at the peak of the 3He delivery. The Massignan

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen beskriver forskningen kring miniatyriserade enzymreaktorer - nyckelkomponenter i system för diabetsövervakning. Målet är att systemet kontinuerligt och under flera dagar skall kunna mäta glukosstatus hos bäraren. Provtagningstekniken för systemet är mikrodialys; en prob instucken i bukfettvävnaden ger ett prov som innehåller glukos. Analysen av detta proThe development of a miniaturised silicon wafer integrated enzyme reactor is described. The reactor was micromachined by anisotropic wet etching of (110) silicon. The enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx) was coupled to the reactor surface with standard methods of immobilising enzyme to silica. The glucose turn-over rate was monitored following a colourimetric assay. The advantage, in terms of high surface
