This book, which is the result of my work within the project Conversion and Change of Confession, deals with Catholic mission and conversion in Scandinavia in the 19th and 20th cetries. I focus on Denmark, but the Danish situation is studied in a comparative Nordic pespective and against the background of the general religious, ideological and church-political development at the time. Up to the Se

The study aimed to elucidate the effects of cortical ischemia and postischemic environmental enrichment on hippocampal cell genesis. A cortical infarct was induced by it permanent ligation of the middle cerebral artery distal to the striatal branches in 6-month-old spontaneously hypertensive rats. Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was administered as 7 consecutive daily injections starting 24 hours after s

When developing packaged software, which is sold `off-the-shelf' on a worldwide marketplace, it is essential to collect needs and opportunities from different market segments and use this information in the prioritisation of requirements for the next software release. The paper presents an industrial case study where a distributed prioritisation process is proposed, observed and evaluated. The sta

A class of spherical functions is studied which can be viewed as the matrix generalization of Bessel functions. We derive a recursive structure for these functions. We show that they are only special cases of more general radial functions which also have a properly generalized, recursive structure. Some explicit results are worked out. For the first time, we identify a subclass of such radial func

In male birds, testosterone (T) plays an important role in aggressive and mate-attraction behaviour. In the cooperatively breeding Seychelles warbler, Acrocephalus sechellensis, extra-group copulations (EGCs) occur frequently, but are not accompanied by sexual courtship displays as in within-pair copulations. Paternity is nearly always gained by primary males. We investigated whether T levels and

The Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat represents a model of hereditary non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), characterized by nonobesity, mild hyperglycemia from early life, impaired glucose tolerance test results, and a markedly defective insulin response to glucose. The rats develop signs of both nephropathy and neuropathy, but, to our knowledge, retinal changes have not been reported so far in

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blekinge tillhörde före freden i Roskilde 1658 Danmark. De östdanska provinserna erövrades av svenskarna och integrerades i det svenska riket. Övergångsproblematiken har i äldre forskning ofta diskuterats och analyserats med begrepp hämtade från en senare tids nationella föreställningar. Men var de motsättningar och konflikter som utvecklades i Blekinge efter övergångenThe object of this thesis is to examine the incorporation of the former Danish province of Blekinge into Sweden after the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658. This question has been analysed before but such studies have usually been coloured by the use of national ideas and notions born of a later age than the period under examination. This thesis analyses the so-called Transition Problem using theoretical

A parallel procedure based on a single-program, multiple-data (SPMD) algorithm is presented for parallel computing of turbulent combustion and flame spread in fires. The computation is based on modeling of radiative turbulent reacting flow and pyrolysis of solid fuel. With angular domain decomposition applied to the parallel computing of radiation and spatial domain decomposition to the computatio

Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is a monomeric protein consisting of two subdomains: a larger flavin-associated domain (DHcdh) and a smaller heme-binding domain (CYTcdh), connected via a protease cleavable linker region. In this study, the inter-domain electron transfer, using the CDH from the ascomycete fungus Myriococcum thermophilum and thiol (SAM) modified gold electrodes, was investigated with

We find that the nature and origin of the proposed "dialogical cognitive representations" in the target article is not sufficiently clear. Our proposal is that (triadic) bodily mimesis and in particular mimetic schemas-prelinguistic representational, intersubjective structures, emerging through imitation but subsequently interiorized-can provide the necessary link between private sensory-motor exp

Background: Current models of group and team development generally favour a linear progressive developmental pattern (Tuckman-Wheelan), taking for granted that all groups move from relative irrationality and inefficency to rationality and efficiency through learning or maturation in sequential stages. Aims: (i) To question the generality of the linear progressive models of group development, (ii)

The dynamics of the excited states of the carotenoid peridinin in polar solvents were studied using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy in the spectral range of 500-1900 nm. A broadening of the absorption spectrum in polar solvents is caused by a distribution of conformers having different ground-state properties. In addition, the dependence of the peridinin lifetime on the excitation wa
