The idiom ‘for someone’s sake’ plays a central role in recent attempts to understand the distinction between impersonal values and personal values—e.g. between what is valuable or good, period, and what is valuable for or good for someone. In the first section three historical approaches to this distinction are outlined. Section 2 presents a modified fitting-attitude (FA) analysis of final ‘value-

Popular Abstract in Swedish En av de viktigaste substanserna i vår kropp är proteiner, också kallade äggviteämnen. Proteiner har en mängd olika uppgifter i kroppen, de finns i våra celler där de har olika uppgifter såsom att fungera som enzymer, transportörer, signalsubstanser, eller som skyddsfaktorer. Proteiner ingår också som viktiga beståndsdelar i vävnaderna mellan cellerna och finns dessutomPathogenic bacteria express a wide array of surface proteins that interact with the environment. Many of these proteins are believed to be important for the virulence. This thesis deals with the binding of immunoglobulins (Ig) and complement regulating proteins to certain bacterial surface proteins. Protein L from Peptostreptococcus magnus binds to Igk-light chains while protein A from Staphylococ

Brands have become one of the most discussed phenomena of marketing research in recent years. They are ubiquitous in the marketplace and virtually impossible for consumers to avoid. The corporate obsession with brands is likely to continue since the wealth of “how-to-do-branding” strategy handbooks suggest that brands are the magical panacea for creating superior business performance. In short, we

Auger-electron spectroscopy (AES) has developed to a major tool for chemical identification and for characterization of solid surfaces. As first emphasized by Lander[1], it can also be used a spectroscopy for gaining information on occupied electron states and their interactions. However, AES gives a far less direct picture of the occupied states than does, for example, angle-resolved photoemissio

Hobbing is a common manufacturing method when producing helical, involute gears. In order to give the manufactured gear a controlled surface smoothness, a method to, very accurately, determine the achieved surface geometry is needed. In this report, the cutting surfaces of the tool, of which the cutting edges are the boundaries, are assumed to be plane in arbitrary directions. They are mathematica

Popular Abstract in Swedish Människor (och andra arter) har en grundläggande förmåga att anpassa sig till och lära sig hur omgivningen är strukturerad. Ofta lär vi oss struktur indirekt, utan att direkt och avsiktligt studera strukturen ifråga. Klassiska vardagsexempel på tämligen oavsiktlig strukturinlärning är språkinlärning, utveckling av musikaliska preferenser, inlärning av sociala regler, ocPeople can become sensitive to the general structure of different parts of the environment, often without studying that general structure directly, but through being incidentally exposed to instances that conform to the structure. When such learning proceeds unintentionally and gives rise to knowledge that is difficult to verbalize it is often referred to as implicit learning. One of the most comm

Popular Abstract in Swedish Muskelömhet hos kvinnor Smärttrösklar för tryck i skuldermuskulaturen (trapezius och deltoideus) i vila, efter muskel uttröttning och efter smärtsam stimulering Smärta i muskler och leder och besvär i form av upplevd trötthet i musklerna är vanligt förekommande problem, särskilt hos den kvinnliga delen av befolkningen. Man har ansett detta kopplat till olika belastandeLongstanding pain experienced from the musculoskeletal system is reported by one third of the Swedish population. The underlying mechanisms are not known in the majority of cases. In the present studies, the changes in pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) over the trapezius and deltoid muscles after a unilateral static contraction of maximal duration of one arm was measured in healthy females (n=25) a

The article analyses the origins of the idea of the Swedish government in 1997 to initiate a project, Living History, to inform the Swedish people about the Holocaust.

Ystad kloster ska enligt källor ha grundats år 1267 till följd av en donation från riddare Holmger och hans hustru Katarina. Själva klosterkyrkan och en av klosterlängorna är bevarade av den en gång kringbyggda medeltida klosteranläggningen, som genom historien undergått många förändringar. Nya byggnader har tillkommit,gamla har rivits, restaureringar har genomförts och marken har undersökts arkeo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vi människor konsumerar en ständigt ökande mängd elektrisk energi, som till största delen produceras av ändligt tillgängliga material som kol, gas, olja och uran. Elproduktionen har många skadliga bieffekter, som till exempel utsläpp av växthusgasen koldioxid vid förbränning av kol, gas och olja. Solceller omvandlar istället solens ljus direkt till elektricitet. ProcessIn this thesis, in situ doping during growth of III-V semiconductor nanowires, primarily for photovoltaic applications, is investigated. The nanowires were grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE), with gold seed particles. After growth the nanowires were characterized using various techniques, including photoluminescence, transmission electron microscopy and electrical measurements of co
