Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) such as hormones and certain pharmaceuticals (i.e. birth control pills, oestrogen replacement products and other steroids) can interfere with the regulatory systems of humans and wildlife. Many of these compounds are excreted by humans and released with sewage. Pesticides and various industrial chemicals such as dioxin and PCBs are also EDCs that often find th

With the advent of massive online encyclopedic corpora such as Wikipedia, it has become possible to apply a systematic analysis to a wide range of documents covering a significant part of human knowledge. Using semantic parsers, it has become possible to extract such knowledge in the form of propositions (predicate―argument structures) and build large proposition databases from these documents. Th

Syftet med denna arbetsrapport är att komplementera tidigare arbete om fuktöverföring vid regenerativ värmeväxling med en ren metallrotor genom att undersöka hur fuktreglering kan ske med förvärmning av uteluft eller förvärmning av frånluft. Följande fyra arbetsrapporter beskiver en beräkningsmodell för en rotor och olika former av fuktreglering. - TVIT—10/7048 Fuktöverföring vid regenerativ

A materialized text shows many faces in the mirror of time. In every printing, how ordinary it may seem, the graphic structure given carries meaning over and below the linguistic. Examples from different editions of the Bible and of Swedish literature demonstrate how the face of a text has been adapted to changing reading habits and literary taste. Scholarly text editors though have generally disr

In his book Visual thinking, Arnheim (1969) writes: ... cognitive operations called thinking are not the privilege of mental processes above and beyond perception but the essential ingredients of perception itself. I am referring to such operations as active exploration, selection, grasping of essentials, simplification, abstraction, analysis and synthesis, completion, correction, comparison, prob

The article outlines the origin and later transformation of Medieval Archaeology to Historical Archaeology, both as an antiquarian practice and as an academic subject, focusing on the development in Sweden since the 18th C. Where the concept of the Middle Ages defined the former subject, both its opportunities and its limitations, now Modernity has turned up as a new challenging concept. Archaeolo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den första beskrivningen av diabetes mellitus gjordes redan 1500 före Kristus när en faraos läkare noterade att myror samlade sig omkring urin från vissa människor men inte andras. På 1700-talet beskrevs för första gången närvaron av större mängder socker i såväl blod som urin hos diabetiska patienter. På 1920-talet upptäcktes insulin i bukspottkörteln (pancreas) och saThe influence of trauma (acute pancreatitis) or total parenteral nutrition (TPN) on pancreatic islet hormone secretion in relation to islet expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was investigated. Acute pancreatitis resulted in an impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) which was found to be parallelled by a marked expression of iNOS and an exaggerated NO production in t

This article deals with Gunnar Rosendal within church politics in a European perspective.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Enligt ordboken betyder störning något som är avvikande från det normala. I den ekologiska begreppsvärlden är det tvärtom en del av det normala. Störning är en förutsättning för att många kulturmarker med hög biodiversitet ska kunna skapas och bevaras. I denna avhandling undersöktes hur markstörning i form av plöjning och harvning i torra gräsmarker påverkar mångfalden Many ecosystems have historically been disturbed, either naturally or as part of a cultural management. Due to loss of species as a result of too little disturbance, disturbance must be considered as a potential tool for conservation and restoration in various ecosystems. In this thesis work, disturbance effects on a grassland system were studied. The studied grassland had traditionally been sever
