Popular Abstract in Swedish Vad innebär det att muta någon? Vad är egentligen en muta? Denna studie har motiverats av sådana frågor. Det centrala argumentet är att mutor och korruption inte enbart tillhör ett samhälles juridiska sfär utan även dess sociala och moraliska. Om ett agerande ska anses korrupt eller hederligt, klandervärt eller klanderfritt (eller någonting däremellan) avgörs inte enbarWhat does it mean to bribe someone? What is the meaning of bribes? Questions like these have motivated this study. Its central argument is that the folk meanings of “bribes” and “corruption” depend on people’s symbolic demarcations and definitions. Corruption is something we actively define as well as something through which we define ourselves. A specific case has been used: stories about bribes

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the cultural turn in retail studies by offering an overview of the interdisciplinary field of socio-cultural retailing and, based on this introduction, draw out and discuss what this body of work can contribute to the field of retail marketing. The paper reviews socio- cultural retail research from the disciplines of marketing, cultural geography, sociolog

Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is a naked virus of an uncomplicated structure. In the interior part of the virion, the two segments of double-stranded RNA are located together with the minor structural protein VP1. This protein is detected in its free form as well as linked to the genome. A polymerase activity has been assigned for VP1. The localisation of the viral protein VP3 has a

The possibility of using high-power lasers to generate high-quality beams of energetic ions is attracting large global interest. The prospect of using laser-accelerated protons in medicine attracts particular interest, as these schemes may lead to compact and relatively low-cost sources. Among the challenges remaining before these sources can be used in medicine is to increase the numbers and ener

Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteinstrukturmodellering-att gissa struktur och funktion (artikel I och manuskript I) Proteiner har många funktioner i cellens komplicerade maskineri. Ett protein består kemiskt av en rad sammmanlänkade byggstenar, aminosyror, varav det finns 20 olika mest förekommande. En proteinkedja viker ihop sig enligt ett speciellt mönster för att och bilda ett funktionellt proKnowledge of biomolecules three-dimensional structure has provided a detailed understanding of their function. In recent years the number of new protein sequences has far exceeded the number of protein experimental structure determinations. One goal of the new field of protein structural bioinformatics is to provide reliable and automated protein functional annotations and initial protein structur

This chapter explores the expansion of the Tupian peoples across greater Amazonia to better understand the mechanisms and processes of cultural and linguistic contact and change. Tupian languages are or were spoken among indigenous groups distributed from the Brazilian Atlantic coast through Paraguay to the eastern Andean slopes of Peru. The investigation uses GIS (Geographical Information Systems

A previous study compared two student groups that played a mathematics game based on a teachable agent. One group played with, and the other without, the inclusion of a social conversation module: a chat between the student and the teachable agent. Results were that students who used the game with the chat included had a more positive experience of the game and learned more in the sense of teachin

Within this paper a simulation model of a hierarchical structure with three levels with different wireless systems is presented and investigated. The analysis is placed on a cellular level to better understand the user behavior. Modeled is a city environment, where the focus is made on the inter-system handovers between the different wireless systems and how they are affected by the change of diff

Kemiteknikprogrammet fick en ny utbildningsplan 2001. Enligt den gamla utbildningsplanen fanns det en valfri kurs i numerisk analys under årskurs 4 med ett fåtal studenter. I den nya utbildningsplanen integrerades numeriska metoder med kemiteknik redan under första terminen. Metoder undervisas där problemställningen finns. Vi har valt att kalla undervisningen i numeriska metoder för beräkningstekn
