Fashioning use: A polemic to provoke pro-environmental garment maintenance

During fashion’s life cycle the highest environmental impacts come from use: the way people maintain clothes in everyday life. Considering the way clothes are used allows designers to embed pro-environmental practices in garments with vast resource conservation potential. This chapter provides examples of garment design that shape the way people wash clothes. No-wash garments are found to be most

The quality control of MHC class I antigen presentation

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett antal olika behandlingsformer finns att tillgå vid angrepp av mikroorgansimer, tex antibiotika, samt vid uppkomsten av tumörer, tex strålbehandling och cellgifter. Ett alternativ till dessa traditionella behandlingssätt är att hjälpa kroppens immunförsvar att starta en specifik immunreaktion riktad mot de infekterade cellerna eller mot tumörcellerna. Detta vore en iMajor histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules present antigenic peptides to CD8+ T cells. The peptides are generated by proteasomes in the cytosol, then translocated across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP). Only properly assembled class I molecules loaded with high affinity peptides reach the cell surface. The mat

MAX 4, A 3 GEV light source

A proposal for a new synchrotron light source, MAX 4, is presented. The main components are two identical storage rings operated at different electron beam energies and equipped with superconducting insertion devices. Small beam emittances will yield high brilliance radiation over a wide spectral range. A small horizontal emittance is achieved by using a large number of cells with gradient dipoles

Was the wage burden too heavy? : Profitability and wage shares of settler agriculture in colonial Malawi, c 1900-1960

The historical role of European farming in southern and central Africa is a delicate matter that has received a great deal of attention among scholars over the years. Going through this vast literature a striking consensus emerges: success or failure of European farming in southern Africa was to a large extent depending on their access and control over labour. These propositions have so far never

Exploring thermostable glycoside hydrolases: Amylases and beta-glucosidases

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arbetet i denna avhandling presenteras i 6 olika delarbeten (artiklar I-VI). Artiklarna I-III behandlar två olika enzymer som bryter ner cyklodextriner, vilka är ringformade molekyler med samma beståndsdelar som i stärkelse (dvs sammanlänkade glukosmolekyler). Dessa s.k. cyklodextrinaser kommer ursprungligen från två bakterier som har isolerats i varma källor på Island.Two putative cyclodextrinases (CDases) were amplified from two moderate thermophiles isolated in Iceland: Anoxybacillus flavithermus and Laceyella sacchari. They were cloned, expressed and characterized. The expression of the former was optimized in E. coli by using a solubility-enhancing tag, NusA, and tuning of inducer concentration in the expression strain Tuner(DE3). The CDases were optimally

Attributioner och demokratiska dygder

Statsvetenskaplig forskning visar att demokratiska dygder, som delaktighet, kritiskt tänkande och solidaritet värderas högt av svenska medborgar. Medborgarna anser att de själva kommer ganska nära sitt ideal när det gäller att bete sig i enlighet med dygderna. Man tycker alltså att man själv ”lever som man lär”. Däremot anser de inte att andra människor lever upp till de demokratiska idealen lika

I palissadernas tid. Om stolphål och skärvor och sociala relationer under yngre mellanneolitikum.

The overall aim of this work is to study and interpret how social relations were expressed, shaped, and changed in the Late Middle Neolithic. The empirical foundation is a study of settlement in the Malmö area, south-west Skåne, Sweden. Other parts of southernmost Sweden (and eastern Denmark) are also concerned. Sites are discussed and given an overall interpretation as regards chronological and c

The Pseudospectrum of Systems of Semiclassical Operators

In this paper we study the pseudospectrum (spectral instability) of non-selfadjoint semiclassical systems of principal type, generalizing the results in the scalar case by Dencker, Sjostrand and Zworski in Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 57:3 (2004), 384-415.
