Literary scholars have taken very little interest in the first collection of fables published in Swedish, Hundrade Esopi Fabler (A Hundred Fables of Aesop, 1603), compared to the interest shown its European counterparts. Based on research in the interdisciplinary field of ecclesiastical history, the present paper relates Hundrade Esopi Fabler to the concept of confessionalization, elaborated in re

Molecularly imprinted micro- and nano-particles can be conveniently prepd. using pptn. polymn. method. By controlling the initial reaction compn., the resulting polymer particles may be obtained as uniform beads that display favorable binding characteristics. Incorporation of a novel reporter element resulted in an imprinted scintillation polymer that displayed an enhanced signaling

Summary in English This dissertation bears the title "Fusions as defined by the Swedish Companies Act 'ABL' of 1975 (14:8) - a study of tax, corporation and accountancy legislation". The dissertation constitutes a study of fusions from the perspective of (as the title suggests) taxation, corporation and accountancy legislation. The Swedish Companies Act (ABL) includes rules concerning two forms o

A novel approach to the control of a GDI engine is presented. The controller consists of a combination of sub-controllers, where torque feedback is a central part. The sub-controllers are with a few exceptions designed using simple linear feedback and feedforward control design methods. Special mode switch strategies are used to minimize the torque bumps during combustion mode changes. The control

The brief study aims to identify the genesis of the first dramatic protagonist Mihail Sebastian imagined, both the autobiographical and the literary earlier experiences and expressions of his playwriting philosophy of the evasion, a philosophy that is to be regarded as a prototype for his future drama. For this a rather exhaustive synthesis of the critical references is required as well as a minut

Popular AbstractAvhandlingen är en feministisk analys av regionalpolitiken som möjliggörare för kvinnor som vill försörja sig på landbygden som egna företagare. Fokus i studien är kvinnor som ville men inte ansåg sig ha eller fick möjlighet driva sina företagsidéer vidare och därför avvecklade dem på ett tidigt stadium. I intervjuer redogör ett antal kvinnor för sina upplevelser av att arbeta för This thesis deals with questions concerning the different strategies women adopt in order to support themselves when they become unemployed in rural areas. One strategy is to start a business of one's one, a strategy supported and called for by the Swedish Government, especially during the 1990s economic recession. Another important factor was the Swedish membership in the EU that demanded cutback

Newly available wavelet bases on multi-resolution analysis have exciting implications for detection of change-points. By checking the absolute value of wavelet coefficients one call detect discontinuities in ail otherwise smooth curve even in the presence of additive noise. In this paper, we combine wavelet methods and extreme value theory to test the presence of ail arbitrary number of discontinu

Experiments were done in order to study the thermophilic archaebacterium Acidianus brierleyi during oxidation of pyrite (FeS2). The microorganisms were grown both separated from the pyrite by a membrane and in close contact with the pyrite. From the results it can be concluded that direct contact is needed for good growth of the strain studied. The obtained results indicated that the direct contac

[1] Isoprene is the dominant volatile organic compound produced by the terrestrial biosphere and fundamental for atmospheric composition and climate. It constrains the concentration of tropospheric oxidants, affecting the lifetime of other reduced species such as methane and contributing to ozone production. Oxidation products of isoprene contribute to aerosol growth. Recent consensus holds that e

The effects on eating quality and meat quality of two different forms of post-slaughter treatment, performed in an abattoir, were studied in carriers and non-carriers of the RN− allele. Carcasses were subjected to rapid and slow chilling, and pelvic and Achilles suspension in a factorial experimental design. A temperature of 10 °C was achieved in the centre of M. longissimus dorsi (LD) within 3.5

This study was undertaken to establish the most reliable breaker depth index formula that will yield satisfactory predictions for a wide range of hydraulic and beach conditions. The applicability of six existing formulas for computing the breaker depth index was examined with the use of a large amount of published laboratory data (524 cases collected from 22 sources). The behavior of these formula

Tio års erfarenheter av att anlägga gastrostomier på barn med hjälp av videoendoskop redovisas. I patientgruppen ingår 300 barn i åldern 3 månader till 18 år med neurologiska åkommor, metabola sjukdomar, medfödda hjärtmissbildningar och maligna sjukdomar. Operationen görs i intubationsnarkos med en videoassisterad anläggning av gastrostomi där en s k gastrostomiknapp placeras direkt i stomat och a

Since the temperature is not an additive function, the traditional thermodynamic point of view suggests that the volume integral of the temperature has no precise physical meaning. This observation conflicts with the customary analysis of non-isothermal catalytic reactors, heat pipes, driers, geothermal processes, etc., in which the volume averaged temperature plays a crucial role. In this paper w

The catalytic properties of the rotenone-sensitive NADH:ubiquinone reductase (Complex I) in bovine heart submitochondrial particles and in inside-out vesicles derived from Paracoccus denitrificans and Rhodobacter capsulatus were compared. The prokaryotic enzymes catalyze the NADH oxidase and NADH:quinone reductase reactions with similar kinetic parameters as those for the mammalian Complex I, exce

A fluorescence lidar measurement has been performed on the castle Övedskloster in Sweden. A mobile system from the Lund University was placed at ~40 m distance from the sandstone façade. The lidar system, which uses a frequency-tripled Nd:YAG laser with a 355-nm pulsed beam, induces fluorescence in each target point. Areas were studied by using whisk-broom scans. The possibility of detecting biode
