The persistence of a low productive peasant sector in sub-Saharan Africa is one of the enigmas of development research. This study approaches the question from a historical perspective by analysing the paths of agrarian change in two contrasting cases in Malawi from the mid-1930s to the late 1970s. The cases - Thyolo and Mzimba districts - with their overt differences in terms of population densit

Short analysis of the poem "Din sorg är din" by Swedish poet Viktor Rydberg (1828 - 1895)

The class of Rotation Symmetric Boolean Functions (RSBFs) has received serious attention in searching functions of cryptographic significance. These functions are invariant under circular translation of indices. In this paper we study such functions on odd number of variables and interesting combinatorial properties related to Walsh spectra of such functions are revealed. In particular we concent

We show that certain weak feedback polynomials allow very efficient distinguishing attacks on the selfshrinking generator. This gives a new improved attack if the generator uses a secret feedback polynomial.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut pankreatit (bukspottkörtelinflammation) drabbar årligen cirka 300 individer per miljon invånare i Sverige. Dödligheten ligger totalt på cirka 4-7 % och betydligt högre, cirka 20 %, vid svår nekrotiserande pankreatit. Mortaliteten är vanligen associerad med multipel organsvikt och korrelerad till storleken på det inflammatoriska svaret. Underliggande mekanismer för Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disorder where underlying mechanisms for the local initiating events in the pancreas, the systemic dissemination of the inflammatory response and the remote organ dysfunction still are unclear. The aim of the present study was to further characterize the dynamics and sequence of the immune response in AP, and to determine the cellular origin of the initiating ev

Popular Abstract in Swedish Minnet är ofta korrekt, men också formbart, vilket kan leda till uppkomsten av illusoriska eller förvrängda minnen. Studiet av dessa erbjuder en intressant inblick i minnets grundläggande natur och klarlägger omständigheter som påverkar minnets grad av korrekthet. Denna doktorsavhandling har försökt belysa processer som ligger till grund för både riktiga och falska minnAlthough memory often serves us well, it can also prove highly unreliable. The study of illusions and distortions of memory unveils important information about the nature of human memory functioning and, moreover, factors affecting memory accuracy. By taking a cognitive neuroscience perspective, the present dissertation aimed at elucidating processes promoting both true and false remembering and t
