Inom psykologi och sociologi har forskning kring människors livsstil sin bakgrund i klassiska forskningsfält. Ändå finner man att när man lämnar de inom ämnena klassiska beteendeområdena för livsstil saknas en helt täckande teoribildning. Klassiska teorier har dessutom i många fall blivit så väl kända även utanför forskarsamhället att de fått en mera allmän och ofta vag betydelse för att vara anvä

The aerobic biodegradation of toxic organic volatile contaminants is always limited by the low aqueous solubility of O2. Therefore, intensive bubbling or surface aeration is required to supply the bacterial community with sufficient O2 to carry out pollutant mineralization. This can cause the hazardous volatilization of toxic volatile contaminants. Photosynthetic oxygenation overcomes these limita

The trend of the service architectures developed in telecommunications today is that they should be open in the sense thatthey can communicate over the borders of different networks. Instead of each network having their own service architecture with their own applications, all networks should be able to use the same applications. 3GPP, the organization developing specifications for the 3G networks

Book synopsis: The collection of papers of this book discuss Whitehead's bold theory of perception from different angles. According to the major perspectives the book is divided into two major parts: the philosophical and the psychological perspective. The four philosophical papers focus on: the relation between Whitehead's theory of perception and his account of the phases of concrescence, the na

Over the past two decades, regime conflicts have become more frequent in global environmental governance, sometimes including not only environmental regimes but also re

Popular Abstract in Swedish I alla tider har människan förundrats och fascinerats över det stillsamma, men samtidigt spektakulära skådespel, som himlen erbjuder en stjärnklar natt. I tusentals år har vi ställt oss frågan: var någonstans i detta gnistrande myller av stjärnor och planeter, kometer och meteorer, passar vi in? Genom århundradena har vår roll i detta skådespel blivit alltmer undanskuffEta Carinae is a super-massive, super-luminous star. It is surrounded by a bipolar nebula, the "Homunculus", and several blobs of ejected gas which are the source of a complex emission-line spectrum. This thesis presents results from spectroscopic investigations of the star and its surroundings, performed with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) and the Goddard High Resolution Spectrog
