The global company operates from a number of locations worldwide, which entails geographical distances and logistical implications for product and parts transported, as well as the choice of product variety because of numerable worldwide consumer preferences. In these companies, packaging becomes a frequently used object to complement product features and achieve an effective and efficient means o
Various aspects of the adsorption of molecules on metal surfaces have been studied making use of different properties of high resolution core level photoemission. A thorough investigation has been performed of the ordering and the site occupancy of CO overlayers on Rh(111). CO has been shown to adsorb in on-top and three-fold-hollow sites. The distribution of the molecules between these two sites
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen syftar till att utifrån 11-åriga barns berättelser om sina familjer och hur de själva uppfattar sina familjer och sin fostran beskriva, analysera, förstå och tolka villkoren för denna fostrans- och socialisationsprocess samtidigt som den pågår. Forskningsproblemet kan formuleras: hur och vad uppfattar och berättar barn om sina upplevelser av familjeliv och The thesis aims to describe, analyse and interpret the conditions of the upbringing process and the socialization process in a group of eleven-year-olds while the process is still ongoing, and to do this with the help of the eleven-year-olds? narrations about their families and about how the children themselves view their families and their upbringing. The research approach is inspired by phenomen
The moth, Spodoptera littoralis, was demonstrated to be a new model system for studying mechanisms underlying odour conditioning. In the experiments a restrained moth was trained to learn an association between a conditioned stimulus (CS) and an unconditioned stimulus (US). A proboscis extension reflex (PER) elicited by the conditioned odour was observed after learning. In paper I, an odour-sucros
Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins that specifically transports water. In plants, aquaporins have been identified in the plasma membrane and in the vacuolar membrane. The presence of aquaporins provides the plant with an opportunity to regulate the flux of water between cells and within the cell by changing the abundance or activity of the aquaporins. One aquaporin, PM28A, and two aquaporin
Summary of key messages for policy makers • Systemic approach is critical Climate change and natural resource depletion continues to be driven not least by unsustainable levels and patterns of consumption. There is growing recognition that the shift required to achieve sustainable consumption and production is a momentous paradigm shift in Western culture. Due to the holistic nature of shifting c
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den pågående ökningen av växthusgaser i atmosfären orsakar en ökning av den globala medeltemperaturen. En viktig påverkande faktor för koncentrationen koldioxid (CO2) i atmosfären är utbytet mellan atmosfären och biosfären; fotosyntesen tar upp CO2 och respirationen släpper ut CO2, vilket resulterar i ett nettoutbyte. För att öka vår förståelse av den spatiala och tempoThe ongoing increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations causes an increase in the global mean air temperature. One important moderator of the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration is the gas exchange between the atmosphere and the biosphere; photosynthesis extracts and respiration releases CO2, resulting in a net exchange. A variety of methods are used to improve our understandi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling undersöker adelns slottsbyggande i Skåne under en tid då det svenska samhället genomgick omfattande förändringar. Mellan 1840 och 1900 byggde den skånska adeln i en omfattning som det inte finns historisk motsvarighet till. Slotten moderniserades med historiska förtecken och har ansetts vara ett sätt att kompensera för en förlorad maktposition och befäsThis thesis examines the building activity of the landed Nobility in the affluent province of Scania, Southern Sweden between 1840 and 1900. The new and rebuilt country houses were often created by the modernisation of previous buildings at the same location. They are referred to as 'New Palaces' in this thesis, a term chosen in order to emphasise the strong historical influence on this process. T
Popular Abstract in Swedish Parkinsons sjukdom karaktäriseras av en progressiv degenerering av dopamin-producerande celler. Avsaknad av dopamin resulterar i kardinalsymptomen bradykinesi (långsamma rörelser), akinesi (avsaknad av rörelser), rigiditet (muskelstelhet) samt tremor (lågfrekventa darrningar i händerna, även kallad ”pillertrillar” rörelser). Den mest framgångsrika behandlingen består avThis study explores the role of transcriptional regulation important in the development of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease. In patients with Parkinson’s disease, dyskinesia is one of the most difficult complications of the DA-replacement therapy by L-DOPA. The underlying mechanisms are still unknown, but a role of abnormal striatal plasticity has been proposed. The
Differences in hormonal and constitutional parameters between women with at least one first and/or second degree relative with breast cancer (RBC) and women without such affected relatives were studied in a group of healthy, nulligravid women aged 19-25 years. Present oral contraceptive (OC) users were analysed separately. In women not presently exposed to OCs we found significant correlations bet
Recent investigations-of the interaction between DNA and alkyltrimethyl ammonium bromides of various chain lengths are reviewed. Several techniques have been used such as phase map determinations, fluorescence microscopy, and electron microscopy. Dissociation of the DNA-surfactant complexes, by the addition of anionic surfactant, has received special attention. Precipitation maps for DNA-cationic
In order to assess the role of striatal dopamine (DA) afferents in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia, we have studied a large series of rats sustaining 2, 3, or 4 unilateral injections of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in the lateral striatum. This type of lesion produced a dose-dependent depletion of DA fibers in the caudate-putamen, which was most pronounced in the lateral aspects of this structure. An addi
Many countries in Europe have experienced growing migration since World War II. It is estimated that more than one in five Swedes living today has roots in other countries and cultures. Segregation in terms of ethnic origin in housing areas makes it easier to maintain the language and cultural traditions of the home country when it comes to cooking and eating. In extremely segregated housing areas
Background Relatives of breast cancer cases have an increased risk of the disease. The risk increases with increasing numbers and decreasing age of onset of affected relatives. In families with a BRCA1 or a BRCA2 mutation, individual carrier status predicts the risk of breast cancer. In relatives of cases where both BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations are excluded, the risk remains undetermined. Methods Sta
We search for signatures of past accretion events in the Milky Way in the recently published catalogue by Nordstrom et al., containing accurate spatial and kinematic information as well as metallicities for 13 240 nearby stars. To optimize our strategy, we use numerical simulations and characterize the properties of the debris from disrupted satellites. We find that stars with a common progenitor
The Formoterol and Corticosteroids Establishing Therapy (FACET) study has provided the first opportunity to examine the long-term effects of inhaled steroids and long-acting beta2-agonists on asthma-specific quality of life. The objectives of the present study were to: evaluate the effects of long-term (1 yr) formoterol and increasing doses of budesonide on asthma quality of life; 2) to determine
The nonobese diabetic ( NOD) Nss1 and Idd5 loci have been associated with sialadenitis development in mice. In this study the NOD Nss1 and Idd5 loci were backcrossed onto the healthy control strain B10. Q by using the speed congenic breeding strategy, resulting in three congenic strains: B10. Q. Nss1, B10. Q. Nss1/Idd5 heterozygous and B10. Q. Nss1/Idd5 homozygous. We investigated the effects of t
