Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utgörs av en detaljerad studie av ett enskilt antikt byggnadsverk – Caecilia Metellas mausoleum. Detta gravmonument tillhörde en högättad romersk kvinna och är beläget intill Via Appia strax utanför Rom.

In recent years, some scholars have focused particularly on language contact as a reason behind historical changes, and some even consider that the language contact is the major force. In this paper, however, it is argued that language contact can be neglig

An improved method for simultaneous purification of complement factors C3, C5 and H from human plasma has been developed. Using an initial batch separation technique with QAE-Sephadex, followed by chromatography on SP-Sephadex and gel filtration in Sephadex G-200, 600 mg of highly pure C3 can be prepared from 1600 ml of plasma. Simultaneously about 70 mg of highly pure factor H and 30 mg of C5 are
