This thesis presents two new technologies, SIRE technology based biosensors and magneto immunoassays, which can be used for bioanalytical applications. One of the main problems associated with biosensor technology is the instability of the recognition element since it is of biological origin and thus, has a limited lifetime. Conventionally, this problem has been solved by immobilizing the biologic

Damages, caused by moisture and mould, in cold attics have increased in Sweden during the last decades. The main reasons are thicker thermal insulation between the living space and the attic and lack of the heat and ventilation effects from a warm chimney. Cold attics are ventilated to avoid that heat leakage from the living space heats up the outer roof with snow melting and icicles as result. Wi

Abstract in UndeterminedNorm supporting actors and structures for change.Education every day effects almost half of the population in Sweden and Nordic countries. Most research on schools and education is based within education science and there is a lack of other social science perspectives. Sociology of law with its focus on social norms, ethical values and legal norms has something different to

Experimental oscillator strenghts (f-values) for lines in Zr II and Cr II have been determined using branching fractions (BFs) and radiative lifetimes. Experimental log gf-values for 263 spectral lines in Zr II have been derived by combining previously measured lifetimes with new BFs measured on the Lund UV Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS). The oscillator strengths have been used to determine

A condensed account of the history of the production and spread of books, in manuscript and in print, in the Nordic countries during the handpress period. Attention is paid to printing as a factor in the formation of national languages.

I denna undersökning studeras hur laborations- rapporter vid LTH motiveras som pedagogiskt moment, hur skrivinstruktionerna är relaterade till lärandemomentet, och om detta kan förbättras. Det visar sig att de flesta instruktioner endast mycket kortfattat motiverar varför laborationsrapporter skrivs även om kursansvariga har ambitiösa mål med momentet. I skrivinstruktionerna finns ofta fler dispos

Based on experiences and research presented during the WBLE 2nd 2001 (Web Based Learning Environment) conference on e-Learning at Lund University, Sweden, October 2001, one wish to obtain a glimpse into the status and future of e-Learning. During the conference a large number of worldwide research, experiences and dreams were presented. Thus, this conference gives us a good idea of the status toda

Methods and knowledge about traceability is developed in a joint research project between SCA packaging, Philips and Lund University. This paper is based on a case study at van Eerd Group, a retail chain in Holland. Discrete event simulation is used as a method to analyse different scenarios, based on the existing case system. It is clear that intelligent packages play an important role not only f

Frågan hur vi lever är lika gammal som aktuell – och viktig. I takt med att samhället förändras ter den sig bara än mer angelägen. Bokens ambition är att i olika avseenden aktualisera begreppet livsföring inom den sociologiska traditionen och teoribildningen liksom inom andra samhälls- och kulturvetenskaper. Innehåll: Inledning; 1. C-G. Heidegren: Livsstil och livsföring hos Simmel och Weber; 2. B
