Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling undersöks vilka funktioner cytoskelettproteinet desmin har strukturellt och funktionellt i hjärta och skelettmuskel. Genom att studera funktionen i hjärt- och skelettmuskler i en transgen musmodell, Des-/- som helt saknar proteinet desmin (delarbete I-III), kan vi uppskatta hur viktigt desmin är för muskelkontraktionen. Vi har även studerat hur en mutWe have examined the functional and structural roles of the cytoskeletal protein desmin in cardiac and skeletal muscles using a genetically modified mouse (Des-/-) with the desmin gene ablated. Desmin forms filaments at the Z-disks in the striated muscle sarcomere, have connections to the sarcolemma and most likely align sarcomeres and whole cells. We have shown a decreased contractile function of

In this study we investigated how managers make strategical decisions in complex, dynamic, and real-time environments and in different decision domains. The managers we interviewed were usually ‘in charge’ of the tasks. Our results showed that the informants mostly constructed only one or two decision alternatives and that they did this to a large extent through communication with other persons, w

The use of restricted access media and other stationary phases for clean-up and trace enrichment of environmental samples coupled on-line to liquid chromatography using diode array detection as well as thermospray MS is described. This on-line configuration was compared with commercially available ELISAs for the determination of triazines in complex matrices, showing superior precision and accurac

During the last years a couple of emergencies have affected the Swedish municipality Ljungby and its inhabitants and forced the municipality to initiate emergency responses. Some examples are a flooding that happened during the summer of 2004, the storm Gudrun that occurred in January 2005 and the storm Per that occurred in January 2007. These emergencies, as well as other incidents, are situation

The MBA case method of how to use cases steam from Harvard and has almost become a norm for what the case method represents concerning the purpose, form and content. However, the Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) way of using cases differs from the MBA Case Method in several important aspects. This paper discusses the potential merits of using an alternative approach (LUSE

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vi lever alla med polymerer i och omkring oss. Till exempel är musklernas proteiner polymerer, plaster är polymera material och cellulosan i det papper du håller i handen är en polymer. Polymerer är långa kedjelika molekyler. Liksom en kedja är sammansatt av många länkar består en polymermolekyl av många kemiska enheter. Strukturen hos den enklaste typen av polymer kanThe different steps in the dissolution process of polydisperse polymers in water have been studied. To that end, poly(ethylene oxide), dextran and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose tablets varying widely in polydispersity have been produced by mixing low molecular weight and high molecular weight samples in different proportions. The individual release of the low and high molecular weight fractions ha

Kursen ”Ingenjörsmässig analys” ges för årskurs tre på elektroteknikprogrammet. Kursen är obligatorisk och kursmålen är av övergripande karaktär. Teknologerna ska tränas i att arbeta i grupp, söka information, redovisa skriftligt och presentera muntligt. Kursen består av två delar, en projektdel och en föreläsningsdel. Under projektdelen arbetar teknologerna i grupper om fyra med olika projekt i e

Bokslutet från början är en kombinerad fakta- och övningsbok som är en direkt fortsättning på grundboken i bokföring, Bokföring från början. I denna bok fördjupas kunskaperna. Steg för steg behandlas de olika områden man måste behärska för att kunna upprätta ett fullständigt bokslut med årsredovisning i enlighet med årsredovisningslagens krav.

This dissertation studies the effects that the use of a word-processing program can have on pupils' writing. The study was conducted with a consideration of the context in which the writing was done. It examined not just changes in the quality of the pupils' writing but also the attitudes of pupils, teachers, and parents to computer-aided writing. In addition, it studied the functional reliability
