Popular Abstract in Swedish Svensk populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning av avhandlingen Olfaction in Desert Locusts – Anatomy, Function and Plasticity of the Central Olfactory System av Rickard Ignell, Ekologiska institutionen, Lunds Universitet 2001. Doftsinnet hos ökengräshoppor Att studera ökengräshoppans, Schistocerca gregaria, doftsinne är att försöka komma underfund med några av de mekanismeThe anatomy, function and plasticity of the primary olfactory centre, the antennal lobe (AL), of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria was investigated using a number of neuroanatomical and neurophysiological methods. Anatomical characterisation of the AL in a number of orthopteran species made it possible to deduce a model concerning the evolution of microglomeruli. These neuropil structures, c

Embedded systems are becoming increasingly complex. At the same time, the components that make up the system grow more uncertain in their properties. For example, current developments in CPU design focuses on optimizing for average performance rather than better worst case performance. This, combined with presence of 3rd party software components with unknown properties, makes resource management

Popular Abstract in Swedish Från mitten av 1970-talet utvecklades i Sverige en ny form av behandling för missbrukare av narkotika och alkohol: Miljöterapi med psykoterapi. Miljöterapin innebar en längre tids drogfri vistelse på behandlingshem där ett konstruktivt, bejakande och människovärdigt klimat avsågs vara behandlande dygnet runt. Psykoterapin var i regel schemalagd transaktionsanalytisk (TAThis monograph studies the outcomes of transactional analysis (TA) psychotherapy with addicts of heavy drugs in long time residential treatment (one year or more) at Swedish therapeutic communities (TCs) during the 1990s. Two sets of data were obtained: The primary material concerned results of approximately one year of TA-therapy; the secondary specific TA-therapy results versus total mileau ther

In this study, a fully three-dimensional model has been developed to simulate two-phase, multi-component gas and heat transport processes in a PEMFC cathode duct. The effects of the electrochemical reactions on the heat generation and mass transfer have been taken into account. Based on the calculated values of water vapor partial pressure and temperature, occurrence of liquid water has been predi

Standard Swedish has a large amount of import words from Low German. These words were adopted by the urban population, approximately 5 % of the people, in the middle ages. According to the author very little was taken over by the speakers of the genuine rural dialects. Instead it is resonable to believe that the propagation of these import word took place as an aspect of the weakening of the rural

Brain imaging systems are a set of techniques that allow visualizing the regions of the brain that are activated when (emotional) stimuli are presented. Their advantage over traditional methods of measuring emotion, like self-reports is that they leave out response biases. This paper presents what brain imaging measurement can do for emotional design. It also reviews the brain imaging studies that

Sammanfattningsvis kan vi konstatera att den tekniska utvecklingen avseende IT-hjälpmedel och bostadsanpassningar för de närmaste kommande åren inte främst är en teknisk fråga. Visserligen pågår en utveckling av tekniska tillämpningar med stor potential a

Authorship, anonymity and the liberty of the press in Denmark in the eighteenth century: By using the national bibliography of Denmark it is possible to get an impression of change in matters of anonymity and authorship from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century. Furthermore, a case study of the poet, 'nouvelliste' and pamphleteer Jacob Christian Bie sheds light on conditions for writing and pu

Clinical and physical assessments of image quality are compared and the correlation between the two derived. Clinical assessment has been made by a group of expert radiologists who evaluated the fulfillment of the European Image Criteria for chest and lumbar spine radiography; yielding the so-called Image Criteria Score, ICS. Physical measures of image quality were calculated using a Monte Carlo m

Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen belyses den inneboende konflikt som finns mellan de två snarlika begreppen jämställdhet och jämlikhet. Detta görs genom att fokusera på svenska kvinnors rätt till jämställdhet i ett formellt jämlikt rättssystem ur ett tvärvetenskapligt feministiskt perspektiv. Det betyder att även om jag har tagit min utgångspunkt i den svenska jämställdhetslagen har jag On the first of January 1992 the present Equal Opportunity Act came into force. A central aim of this law is to improve the conditions of women's working life. One aspect of the law is the possibility to serve as a mean of shifting the balance of power between the sexes. This is meant to be achieved through the inclusion of requirements for active measures to promote equality. As a part of their s

103 patients with displaced femoral neck fractures (Garden 3-4) treated with primary hemiarthroplasty in the Department of Orthopedics, Malmö University Hospital, Sweden 1998-1999 were followed in a prospective, consecutive study for 1 year. Inclusion criteria were age of at least 80 years, signs of mental changes and/or residence in an institution. The control group consisted of 69 patients with
