Popular Abstract in Swedish Kundens subjektiva upplevelse eller uppfattning har kommit att bli en närmast självklar utgångspunkt för dagens diskussioner om hur man bör definiera och mäta kvalitet på tjänster. Begreppet kundupplevd tjänstekvalitet har etablerats som något av ett axiom både inom näringslivet och inom företagsekonomisk forskning. I denna studie gör författarna en kritisk analys av beThe contemporary discussion about how to define and measure the quality of services is dominated by a subjective perspective and quality is usually grounded in the customers perception. This conceptualisation of quality (perceived service quality) is well established in business and research. In contrast, this study is an argument for an intersubjective perspective grounded in language and demonst

The pulse spin-locking sequence is a common excitation sequence for magnetic resonance and nuclear quadrupole resonance signals, with the resulting measurement data being well modeled as a train of exponentially damped sinusoidals. In this paper, we derive an ESPRIT-based estimator for such signals, together with the corre- sponding Cramér-Rao lower bound. The proposed estimator is com- putational

This chapter provides a synthesis of three earlier published studies (Garmy et al. 2012a; Garmy et al. 2012b; Garmy et al. 2013) (survey I) as well as previously unpublished results from a survey conducted in 2013 among students aged 16 (survey II). Objective: The aim was to investigate the effects of sleep, television use and texting and computer habits on overweight, enjoyment of school and fee

Vitreoscilla is an obligate aerobic bacterium found in oxygen-poor environments such as stagnant ponds and decaying vegetable matter. Vitreoscilla induces the production of a homodimeric hemoglobin (VHb) when subjected to oxygen-limiting conditions. It is thought that VHb facilitates oxygen delivery to the respiratory apparatus of its host by increasing the local oxygen concentration under oxygen-

The Rare Isotope Spectroscopic INvestigation at GSI (RISING) project is a major pan‐European collaboration. Its physics aims are the studies of exotic nuclear matter with abnormal proton‐to‐neutron ratios compared with naturally occurring isotopes. RISING combines the FRagment Separator (FRS) which allows relativistic energies and projectile fragmentation reactions with EUROBALL Ge Cluster detecto

Popular Abstract in Swedish Insekter kommunicerar med dofter. De artspecifika kemiska substanser som används mellan individer kallas feromoner. Hos sädesbroddflyet, Agrotis segetum, producerar honan en "parfym", ett sexualferomon som består av flera komponenter, för att locka till sig en hane. På hanens antenner finns lukthår med särskilda motagare, receptorer, som används för att detektera honansA number of analogues of (Z)-5-decenyl acetate (1), a pheromone component of the turnip moth, Agrotis segetum, have been synthesised and tested by using single-cell electrophysiology, in order to investigate the relationships between structure and activity, and to elucidate the interactions between 1 and its receptor. Molecular mechanics and ab initio quantum mechanical calculations have been used

Popular Abstract in Swedish En fråga om liv och hälsa Livstillfredsställelse, personlighet och mortalitet i två äldre populationer Enligt en rapport från FN (2001) kan vi under de kommande 50 åren förvänta oss att andelen äldre över 60 år kommer att fördubblas. Ny och förbättrad teknik, medicinsk kunskap och behandling har utvecklats, vilket innebär att vi i dag överlever i större utsträckning dThe aims of the present thesis were to explore and describe elderly people’s morbidity and experience of symptoms in relation to life satisfaction, personality and mortality. (I, II and III) To learn from the individuals who have high life satisfaction in spite of the fact that they have concurrent medical diagnoses and conditions. (I and III) To reason how positive factors and strengths might hel

Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteiner är livsnödvändiga. I grunden består de av utsträckta kedjor av aminosyror, av vilka det endast finns 20 olika sorter. Dessa är dock nödvändiga för livsviktiga funktioner i organismer, så som att agera som katalysatorer för biokemiska reaktioner, att transportera molekyler och att strukturellt hålla ihop vävnad. Proteiner är ofta specialiserade för deras givna Proteins carry out the instructions encoded in genes and are crucial for many important tasks in the living organism. Often the specific three dimensional structure, or fold, of a protein enables it to carry out a given task. It is an open question whether protein folds have arisen independently or whether mutations to existing protein sequences have caused switches to new folds. In the main part

This study deals with some contested issues regarding prehistoric cultural development in Amazonia and the colonial impact on the native inhabitants of the area. It focuses on the relation between groups belonging the language families of Tupí and Gê, on one hand, and the different ecological zones that they inhabit, on the other. GIS mapping is used to visualise the distribution and movements of
