Popular Abstract in Swedish Den nya stadens bibliotek Folkbiblioteket beskrivs ofta som en av våra mest omtyckta och uppskattade samhällsinstitutioner. Trots detta har både besöken och utlåningen av böcker minskat under senare år, filialer läggs ner och på många håll minskar personalstyrkan. I en tid när böcker kan köpas på bensinmacken och mycket av den information vi söker kan hittas på nätet tyThis dissertation explores how perceived challenges and changing conditions for public libraries are translated and enacted in a local library setting. In 2008, Malmoe City Library, a public library situated in the third largest city of Sweden, initiated an ambitious strategy for renewal and change of their services. The strategy was given the name The Darling Library and expressed a vision to enf

Several ribonucleases of the RNase A family function as antibacterial, anti-parasitic and anti-viral agents. In this work, we have shown that mRNAs encoding five of the six known human ribonucleases of the RNase A family are expressed in cultured human monocytes, and that ribonucleases are released by adherent monocytes in culture. Using a polyclonal antiserum prepared against recombinant protein,

The purpose of the research presented in this thesis is to enhance the field of accessibility to include a multitude of perspectives. Based on cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT), it analyzes how human, artifactual and natural factors impact an individual’s possibilities to act in concrete situations that are part of a systemic whole.The thesis presents two main results:An enhanced accessib

Abstract in UndeterminedThis article reports a consensus that was reached at an Advanced Workshop in Experimental Hypnosis held as part of the joint annual conference of the British Society of Medical and Dental Hypnosis (BSMDH) and the British Society of Experimental and Clinical Hypnosis (BSECH). The unanimous consensus was that conventional definitions of hypnosisand hypnotizability are logical

Slutreplik. Per-Åke Sahlberg skriver engagerat om att det finns mer än jordbruk som påverkar vattenkvalitet. Han har helt rätt. Eftersom vatten ständigt är i rörelse och helt gränsöverskridande kommer alla aktiviteter som sker att påverka vattenkvaliteten – såväl antropogena som naturliga. Men prioriteringar av var insatserna måste ske görs sällan. Att påstå att avloppshanteringen är det största p

Knowledge of the current distribution on a radome can be used to improve radome design, detect manufacturing errors, and to verify numerical simulations. In this paper, the transformation from near-field data to its equivalent current distribution on a surface of arbitrary material, ie the radome, is analyzed. The transformation is based on a full vector surface integral representation that relate

Water harvesting and artificial recharge has been a traditional solution to water scarcity problems in the arid and semiarid Middle East for thousands of years. These techniques are increasingly being encouraged and at present there has been a renewed interest to find improved methods for water harvesting in many arid countries. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the performance an
