Popular Abstract in Swedish Bukspottkörteln, pancreas, är ett viktigt organ för ämnesomsättningen. Dess viktigaste funktioner är att tillverka enzymer och bikarbonat som utsöndras till tolvfingertarmen, duodenum samt hormoner som utsöndras till blodbanan. De viktigaste enzymerna är amylas som bryter ned olika sockerarter och stärkelse, lipas som bryter ned fett och trypsin som bryter ned proteinerThe pancreas is a central organ in the digestion of food as well as in glucose metabolism. Its two major functions are exocrine and endocrine secretion. These are meticulously regulated processes that depend on hormonal response to gastrointestinal contents and blood glucose levels through feedback mechanisms, but also to the status of pancreas in health and diseases. The present thesis aimed at f

Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen argumenterar författaren för att antisemitismen var självklar i Sverige årtiondena kring sekelskiftet 1900. Antisemitismen kom till uttryck bland annat i skämtpressen. Den sistnämnda utgjorde ett viktigt inslag i såväl den framväxande masskulturen som i den politiska kulturen. Det var inte minst via skämtpressen som bilden av "juden" som en "rastyp" skildIn this dissertation it is argued that anti- Semitism was self evident in Sweden at the turn of the century 1900. Through an analysis of the comic press, which was a crucial element in mass culture and political life, the author tries to demonstrate how the everyday version of a national Swedish identity was constructed in opposition to 'The Jew'.In the decades either side of 1900, anti-Semitism h

The so-called Substituted Judgment Standard is one of several competing principles on how certain health care decisions ought to be made for patients who are not themselves capable of making decisions of the relevant kind. It says that a surrogate decision-maker, acting on behalf of the patient, ought to make the decision the patient would have made, had the latter been competent. The most common

Gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids that often are present in increased amounts on tumor cells. Since the gangliosides are hydroxy-acids, they can form lactones. The lactones have been suspected to be more immunogenic than the open forms, but are in practise poor immunogens due to their ease of hydrolysis. This thesis describes the synthesis of the hydrolytically stable lact

Two-photon-induced Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing, DFWM, was applied for the first time to the detection of CO, and NH3 molecules. Measurements were performed in a cell, and in atmospheric-pressure flames. In the cell measurements, the signal dependence on the pressure and on the laser beam intensity was studied. The possibility of simultaneous detection of NH3 and OH was investigated. Carbon monoxid

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig svensk sammanfattning Symptom från mag- och tarmkanalen som smärtor , diarrè, illamåande och blödningar är vanliga hos personer som missbrukar alkohol. Orsaken till denna typ av besvär är emellertid något oklart. Alkohol tas upp i blodet från magsäcken och övre delen av tunntarmen. Således kan alkohol ha effekter på slemhinnan i mag- och tarmkanalen.Background: Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dyspepsia, diarrhoea, and nausea are often seen in alcoholics. The causes are not clear. The stomach and upper small intestine are exposed to high alcohol concentrations. Yet, the majority of alcohol abusers do not exhibit macroscopic abnormalities at upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, although histological and electron microscopic (SEM) changes have be

Affordable and competitive industrial automation is of key importance for small and medium enterprises, in Europe and elsewhere. A key factor is the introduction of new robot automation concepts that ease fast deployment and extend available task repertoire. The Gantry-Tau manipulator is a new robot concept. In contrast to other parallel kinematic manipulators (PKMs), it has a large working range.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Användandet av olika e-handelsverktyg för att förbättra interorganisatoriska processer har med Internets framväxt ökat under senare år. I samband med detta så har allt fler leverantörer hamnat i en situation där användningen av e-handelsverktyg i kundrelationer blivit ett potentiellt konkurrensmedel. Hur e-handelsverktygen kan användas för att förbättra företags inköp hIn the business-to-business (B2B) setting much attention has been given to how e-business tools can be used to assist firms in purchasing. Considering the increasing pressure on suppliers to use B2B e-business, this thesis turns its attention to the supplier situation by taking a closer look at how collaborative uses of B2B e-business are of value to suppliers. This book differs from much of the

A performance comparison between PID and predictive PI (PPI) controllers, i.e., two different prediction methods, is presented. Optimization of controller and measurement filter parameters, considering load disturbance rejection, robustness and noise sensitivity, is performed for a batch of industrially representative processes. For a majority of the processes and the constraints chosen, results s
