Popular Abstract in Swedish Det är en utbredd uppfattning att gränserna mellan högkulturen och masskulturen blivit mindre skarpa i vår postmoderna kultur. Den höga litteraturen lånar friskt former, motiv och grepp från masskulturen – och viceversa. Hur skall man tolka den estetiska trafiken mellan kulturella sfärer – höga respektive låga – som länge ansetts oförenliga? Vad består trafiken av och The Struggle for High and Low Culture. Studies in the Late Twentieth Century Novel’s Relationship to Mass Culture and Modernity. It is a widespread opinion that the boundaries between high culture and mass culture have become less defined in our postmodern culture. How is the aesthetic exchange to be interpreted between cultural spheres – high and low respectively – long considered incompatible?

Hållbar utveckling har kommit att bli ett av de mest använda begreppen i vår tid. Att minska den globala fattigdomen och uppnå de globala utvecklingsmålen borde vara centralt i en diskussion om hållbar utveckling. Ekonomisk tillväxt som lyfter människor ur fattigdom är inte bara ekonomiskt och socialt hållbart utan även avgörande för långsiktig miljömässig förbättring. Under senare tid har emeller

This doctoral thesis examines the driving forces of product innovations in the Swedish manufacturing industry during the period 1970-2007. Specifically it examines whether and how innovations have been the creative response to positive factors, such as new opportunities and obstacles related to their exploitation, and negative factors, such as economic, environmental and organizational problems. T

Many contact operations in robotics require accurate positioning, which is made difficult by the presence of rapidly varying interaction forces and compliances in gear boxes and links. In order to compensate for such effects, rapid feedback from the measured tool position in several degrees of freedom is needed. This paper presents a dynamic visual tracking technique based directly on intensity me

The main objective of this thesis was to gain further insight into the relationship between the exposed surfaces and the functional properties of antibodies and their complexes with antigens in solution. To study this relationship, a new technique, liquid-liquid partition chromatography (LLPC) in aqueous two-phase systems, was developed further with respect to sensitivity, selectivity and reproduc

This thesis concerns a highly efficient nanoparticle-based capillary electrochromatography separation technique and its coupling with mass spectrometric detection. From chromatographic theory, it is well known that the separation efficiency increases with decreasing particle size. However, as the particle size decreases, the pressure required to push a liquid through the column also increases. Thi

Many cells are mechanoregulated; their activities are performed at a rate partly determined by the biophysical stimulus acting on them. Computer simulations that would capture this could be used to predict the effect of physical exercise on tissue health. They could also be used to simulate how the tissues surrounding a medical device would respond to the placement of that device. Since cells are

Abstract in Undetermined Astra- och Microsoft-fallen väntar på avgöranden i Förstainstansrätten. Bägge väcker viktiga principfrågor i skärningspunkten mellan immaterialrätt och konkurrensrätt. Astra1 har fällts av kommissionen för att företaget missbrukat sin dominerande ställning. Med tveksamma och delvis felaktiga uppgifter har Astras ”blockbuster” Losec fått ett förlängt patentskydd. Trots ins
