Many people have no doubts about the seriousness of environmental problems in the world. But the most important issue is to find the way in which these problems could be solved. Environmental problems are so complicated that it is not easy to find the right solution. It is important to change current `Western' and also growing `Eastern' consumption and production radically both from technological

Popular Abstract in Swedish Clostridium difficile-associerad diarré - aspekter på sjukhusepidemiologi och behandling Sjukhusutbrott av diarré med Clostridium difficile upplev's i Sverige och internationellt som ett betydande problem. C. difficile är en bakterie som normalt kan förekomma i tarmen. Under antibiotikabehandling förstör's den mikrobiologiska balansen i tarmen och C. difficile bakterieClostridium difficile is a spore-forming bacterium that causes antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and is responsible for hospital outbreaks of diarrhoea. In the first study, 173 consecutive isolates of C. difficile collected from 147 patients at Malmö University Hospital during 1995 were typed by AP-PCR to determine whether cross-transmission could explain the increased incidence of Clostridium diffi

En av de ständigt aktuella frågorna i den kommunala ekonomiska debatten är den kommunala resultatutvecklingen. Går den att påverka eller är kommuners situation allt för styrd av externa restriktioner? Syftet med denna studie är att inspirera och sprida erfarenheter till kommunala politiker och tjänstemän som har till uppgift att hushålla med kommunens resurser. Två övergripande frågor står i fokus

Popular Abstract in Swedish Järn är ett metalliskt grundämne som tillhör övergångselementen i det periodiska systemet. Den kemiska beteckningen är Fe (av det latinska ordet ferrum). Järn har visat sig vara ett väldigt viktigt ämne för i princip allt liv på vår planet. Främst finns det bundet till olika proteiner i form av järnsvavelkluster och hem. Hem är en liten molekyl som finns i de allra fleFerrochelatase catalyses the synthesis of heme by inserting Fe(II) into protoporphyrin IX. The structure of ferrochelatase from yeast has been determined (2.4 Å). The structure is homodimeric with each of the monomer made up of two Rossmann type domains with an active-site cleft between them. Metal binding studies with Co(II) and Cd(II) ions reveal the metal binding residues as being the His-Glu

Studies the origin of the Inventio Crucis legend: the historical events behind it as well as its textual sources and antecedents. A literary interpretation of the text is then attempted, showing that the legend is influenced by Jewish traditions and adversus Iudaeos treatises. Finally, the liturgical texts used to celebrate Inventio Crucis in the Middle Ages are surveyed. Three versions of the Lat

The magnetic equivalent circuit network method has been used to analyse the flux distribution and torque response of a novel electrically magnetized synchronous machine without slip-rings. Non-linearities have been included in the model using an iterative approach based on the linearisation of the BH curve, which proves to be very fast. Results at load and no load indicate that the leakage can be

Popular Abstract in Swedish Winnicott definierade och införde begreppen övergångsobjekt (ÖO) och övergångsfenomen (ÖF) vid ett möte i brittiska psykoanalytiska föreningen i maj 1951. Detta kopplades till ett tänkande, som gällde utvecklingen av barnets relaterande från en från början alltigenom subjektiv upplevelsevärld till en värld med ”verkliga” relationer - och talade om ”the intermediate areaThe central issue of the dissertation is the place and meaning of the concepts transitional object (TO) and transitional phenomenon (TP) as defined by Winnicott, in a normal psychological context. A group of children were followed from age 8 months to 6 years. A prevalence study was carried out by interviewing parents in connection with the child's (n=147) routine check-ups at the Child Health Cen

Strategy and methodology is presented for the analysis of organic pollutants, with the purpose of evaluating treatment procedures for landfill leachate. Today, many investigations of treatment procedures are focusing on the measurement of water quality parameters such as chemical and biochemical oxygen demand, (COD and BOD), and total organic carbon, (TOC) when assessing the organic compounds in w

This paper gives a brief summary of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) methods and turbulence modeling for applications in the design, research and development of heat exchangers. Some examples are shown to demonstrate how CFD methods can be used as engineering tools. Nevertheless, limitations and shortcomings as well as need for further research are highlighted. Copyright

The influence of damage on the load-carrying capacity of thin-walled steel columns with channel sections is investigated. The axial load-carrying capacity is evaluated for different profiles, and different damage magnitudes are dealt with. The profiles selected for the analysis are commonly used as upright members in rack and shelving systems in industry. The type of damage corresponds primarily t

The introduction of social assistive robots is a promising approach to enable a growing number of elderly people to continue to live in their own homes as long as possible. Older people are often an excluded group in product development; however this age group is the fastest growing segment in most developed societies. We present a participatory design approach as a methodology to create a dialogu
