The Gospels record that Jesus purported to forgive sins. What significance would such a claim have had for his contemporaries and what would the implications have been for his identity as a first-century popular prophet? Tobias Hägerland answers these questions and more as he investigates the forgiveness of sins in the mission of the historical Jesus. The Gospels are interpreted within the context

Popular Abstract in Swedish När vi blir infekterade av virus eller bakterier (patogener) hjälper olika delar av vårt immunförsvar till att försvara oss från dem. Vår hud, slemhinnor, magsyra och vissa immunceller hjälper till att ospecifikt och snabbt hindra patogenerna från att angripa oss och ofta räcker detta för att infektionen skall klaras av. Men det finns en del till av vårt immunförsvar soT lymohocytes (T cells) and B lymphocytes (B cells) are important effector cells of the adaptive immune system. In response to infections, B cells are activated and produce antibodies against specific antigens. There are two types of T cells, cytotoxic T cells that kill cells infected with bacteria or viruses, and helper T (Th) cells that help B cells produce antibodies by secreting cytokines as w

When making nanoelectrodes for applications in liquid cells it is plausible that the less noble metal layer may be negatively affected, i.e. it will be etched away leading to very unstable conditions during operation. Here we describe a dry method to produce such a molecular layer consisting of mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane (MPTS) making it possible to controllable and reproducibly form a covalent

In the teacher education programme at Halmstad University, Sweden, the supervision and examination of the students’ degree papers recently changed. Groups of students are now supervised by supervisor pairs, who in turn are part of a team that is coached by a colleague. The examination of the degree papers has also changed, in that the examination is conducted by someone outside the supervising tea

Popular Abstract in Swedish Två icke-termiska modaliteter utnyttjande ljusets växelverkan med biologisk vävnad beskrivs i den aktuella avhandlingen. De två modaliteterna är fotodynamisk tumörterapi (PDT) och laser-inducerad fluorescens (LIF) för vävnadsdiagnostik. Fotodynamisk tumörterapi är en behandlingsform där ett tillfört fotosensibiliserande ämne reagerar med icke-joniserande strålning och Two non-thermal regimens of light interaction with biological tissue, that are in a natural way connected, are discussed in the present thesis. These are photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of malignant tumours and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) for tissue characterization. In PDT, a photochemical reaction is induced by non-ionizing electromagnetic irradiation in tissue where photosens
