Den (o)hållbara förpackningen

I Den [o] hållbara förpackningen analyseras svenska konsumentförpackningar från 1930-talet fram till idag. Boken består av tre delar där läsaren först får lära känna mjölkförpackningarna, som är livsmedelsbranschens kanske vanligaste men samtidigt mest krävande förpackning. Därefter behandlas läkemedelsförpackningarna, en kategori som alltid har kännetecknats av ett högt säkerhetstänkande. Slutlig

Conceptual Metaphors of Science : Prolegomena to a Cognitive History of Science

The cognitive abilities explained by cognitive science and cognitive semantics can inform us concerning the use of metaphors in science. The thesis is that abstract ideas rest on experiences of the concrete world. In this paper I will explain the use of conceptual metaphors in science, with examples from the mechanistic worldview of the 17th and 18th century. If we proceed from the way people thin

Radiocesium in the forest and forest industry, Studies on the flow, occurrence and technological enhancement of radionuclides in the forest industry with emphasis on radiocesium.

In the aftermath of the nuclear weapons testing and as compared with agriculture, the forest industry has received relatively little attention in spite of its large-scale use of radiocesium- contaminated wood and water. After the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986, numerous studies of the forest environment have been conducted with respect to radionuclide transfer through the forest ec

Molecular regulation of hematopoietic stem cells

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are ultimately responsible for the all mature blood cell production. They can primarily be found in the bone marrow (BM) at a low frequency (~0.02%). Unlike other blood cells, HSCs have a high degree of self-renewal capacity, the process where upon cell division, at least one daughter cell has the same properties as the stem cell it was generated from. In addition,

The theory of joining-systems

Abstract. The theory of joining-systems (TJS), as developed in this chapter, consists of three main parts, developed after the infor- mal introduction and overview in Sections 1 and 2. One part (Section 3) is the abstract theory of joining-systems, providing the framework for the subsequent analysis. Two other parts introduce those concepts and results of the theory that are in focus for the repre

Antropologi, samhällsteori och politik. Radikalkonservatism och kritisk teori. Gehlen-Schelsky-Habermas-Honneth-Joas

Om man betraktar människan som varg, lamm eller blanddjur har konsekvenser för ens syn på samhället och politiken. Omvänt så har uppfattningen om samhället och politiken rimligtvis konsekvenser för en syn på människan. Boken utforskar på teorihistorisk väg sambandet, eller snarare några möjliga samband, mellan de i titeln angivna komponenterna. I centrum för framställningen står de fem i undertite

Causes and consequences of blood parasite infections in birds

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodparasiter och blåmesar - en studie i rött och blått Alla har någon gång varit utsatta för parasiter. Man kan nog till och med vara säker på, att just i den stund du läser detta, finn's det någonstan's någon form av parasit som försöker attackera dig. I dom allra flesta fall misslycka's sådana försök tack vare ett mycket starkt och mångfacetterat försvar. Förutom deParasites are ubiquitous and can cause significant fitness reductions to their hosts. Therefore, selection for the evolution of host resistance should be strong. However, resistance may be costly and should be traded-off against other fitness related traits. Parasites could therefore have a significant impact on the evolution of fitness related characters of their hosts. It has been suggested that

Deoxyribonucleoside kinases in bacteria, plants and humans

Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) are the building blocks of DNA and can be synthesized either de novo or via salvage pathways. The first reaction in the salvage pathway of dNTPs is the conversion of deoxyribonucleosides (dN) into the deoxyribonucleoside monophosphate (dNMP). The corresponding enzymes, deoxyribonucleoside kinases (dNKs), are also important for the activation of many nucleo
