Den litteraturgenomgång som ligger bakom denna kunskapsöversikt visar att det finns forskningsresultat kring energieffektivisering i hushåll, dvs. framför allt beslut kring beteendeförändringar, både i relation till tillskrivna och i viss mån förvärvade egenskaper, exempelvis via styrmedel. Däremot är kunskap om köpbeslut när det gäller teknisk utrustning som innebär långsiktiga investeringar elle

Spanjorernas erövring "konflikt", Quechuakulturens strategier av motstånd, men också av anpassning. I modern tid; storskalig urbanisering, ekonomisk ruin och inre väpnande konflikter. Med ett Socialantropologiskt synsätt analyserar bokens författare, Johan Cronehed, det peruanska samhället och dess sociala uppbyggnad. Utifrån Quechuaindianernas etniska tillhörighet visar författaren hur det är m

Popular Abstract in Swedish Målsättningen i denna avhandling är att identifiera funktionen hos COMP (Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein). Detta protein finns framförallt i brosk och sena. Dessa vävnader tillhör bindväven och har till funktion att ta upp och fördela belastning, utgöra ett skydd och förmedla transport av olika ämnen. De är uppbyggda av ett fåtal celler inbäddade i en dominerande exConnective tissues contain a prominent extracellular matrix that provides mechanical and physical properties. This extracellular matrix contains as a major constituent a network of collagen fibres. These are composed of collagen fibrils, which in turn are assembled from many collagen molecules aligned parallel to each other. Several proteins, e.g. collagens, leucine-rich repeat proteins and thromb

Abstract in UndeterminedThis thesis consists of five self-contained papers: Paper 1: Are there systematic gender differences in the adoption of joint sustainable intensification practices? Evidence from Kenya This paper uses household- and plot-level data to test whether there are systematic gender differences in the adoption of joint sustainable intensification practices in Kenya. Using a multiva

For a stationary two-dimensional random field evolving in time, we derive the intensity distributions of appropriately defined velocities of crossing contours. The results are based on a generalization of the Rice formula. The theory can be applied to practical problems where evolving random fields are considered to be adequate models. We study dynamical aspects of deep sea waves by applying the d

Introduction: Transnationalism and migration Ulf Johansson Dahre The 5th annual Somalia International Rehabilitation Centre (SIRC) Conference of the Horn of Africa focused on “The Role of Diasporas in Peace, Democracy and Development”. The conference was held in Lund, Sweden, August 19-20, 2006. The content of this volume reflects some of the views and proceedings presented at the conference. I

As MIMO technology slowly matures, it is finding its way into more wireless applications. However, some important applications, including mobile communications, require compact implementations. One important challenge in miniaturizing MIMO systems for compact terminals is to overcome capacity performance degradation resulting from mutual coupling among closely separated antennas. In this contribut

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arcanobacterium haemolyticum (A. haemolyticum) beskrevs för första gången under namnet Corynebacterim haemolyticum av MacLean och medarbetare 1946. Bakterien odlades fram från svalget hos patienter med halsont och från sår. Patienterna bestod av amerikanska soldater och infödda öbor i Stilla havet. Från olika delar av världen har senare beskrivits halsont och utslag hosIn an 18-month period all throat cultures in our laboratory were examined for Arcanobacterium haemolyticum and clinical information was obtained. The great majority of the patients suffered from pharyngitis or tonsillitis, accompanied by a rash in 46% of cases. One third of the patients had a history of recurrent tonsillitis. Three types of exanthema was described, scarlatiniform, urticarial and e
