The multihadron production in the reaction e(+)e(-) -> e(+)e(-) + hadrons has been studied for the first time at LEP2 energies with both scattered e(+) and e(-) detected at very low Q(2), measured by the DELPHI VSAT. A reasonable agreement between data and full simulation is demonstrated and the total gamma gamma hadronic cross-section is estimated for the gamma gamma center of mass energy up to 1

Conditions are presented for when estimated demand systems automatically satisfy adding up. It is shown that there exist nonlinear demand systems (such as the Almost Ideal Demand System) where adding up is allowed in the model, but where it is not automatically satisfied for the LS and SUR estimates. In these situations it is possible to test the applicability of the model as regards adding up. Th

This article explores why and how a minority social movement persists despite persistent constraints placed upon it by a majority-dominated State. The Chinese education movement has been one of the largest, longest, and most sustained social movements in Malaysia. Sociological, economic, and demographic changes of the Chinese community along with domestic political struggles revolving around the e

Popular Abstract in Swedish Åldrandet har traditionellt förknippats med en reduktion av emotionella reaktioner. Denna syn har nu börjat ifrågasättas, trots att de flesta tidigare studier visat en åldersrelaterad minskning av psykofysiologiska reaktioner på affektiva stimuli. Det första syftet med denna avhandling var att undersöka effekter av åldrande på subjektivt upplevande av och psykofysiologiIt has long been thought that aging is accompanied by an emotional flattening. Although a different view has started to emerge recently, studies investigating psychophysiological responses in reaction to affective stimuli so far have reported an age-related reduction of the affective response. One of the main goals of this thesis was to revisit this issue by examining subjective reports, phasic he

The establishment of e-businesses has often been implemented from the inside of companies rather than from the customer perspective and the knowledge about customer needs from traditional businesses have been applied directly into new e-business systems. The overall objective of this study is to identify how to better understand customer needs and how to integrate these needs in order to create cu

Popular Abstract in Swedish Osteoporos (benskörhet) är en sjukdom med en störning i ämnesomsättningen i skelettet vilket leder till minskad mängd benvävnad och förändringar i benets mikrostruktur. Detta resulterar i en sämre hållfasthet och en ökad risk för frakturer (benbrott), vilka kan uppkomma spontant eller som en följd av ett lindrigt trauma (olycksfall). Andelen individer med osteoporos ökaOsteoporosis is a systemic, skeletal disease with the consequence of an increased risk of sustaining a fracture, one of the most common fractures being a vertebral fracture. The lifetime risk of sustaining a clinically diagnosed vertebral fracture from age 50 years onward is 8% in men and 15% in women. These fractures are followed by increased morbidity and mortality as well as an increased risk o

Use of the new resist system mr-L 6000.1 XP in combination with PMMA is demonstrated to give sub-100 nm resolution in nanoimprint lithography. Low glass transition temperature in combination with high plasma stability makes this resist suitable for achieving desirable resist profiles after the imprint process. Imprint conditions for mr-L 6000.1 XP/PMMA resist system as well as imprint results are

I denna artikel undersöker jag spänningen mellan forskning i narratologi och undervisning i narratologi. Mitt främsta syfte är att analysera hur forskningen i detta äflt kan användas i undervisning. Studien görs på elever i gymnasiet i Sverige. Jag studerar elevernas reaktioner på ett så kallat "rambrytande" berättargrepp: den narrativa metalepsen. Samtidigt ifrågasätter jag vissa teoretiker enligIn this paper I explore the tension between research in narratology and teaching narratology. My main concern is to study how the research in this field can be used in teaching. The study is made on pupils at upper secondary level in Sweden. I study the pupils’ reactions to one kind of frame-breaking narrative device: the narrative metalepsis. In doing so, I question some theorists according to wh

Ordenssystrarna spelade en viktig roll i den katolska kyrkans återetablering i de nordiska länderna från mitten av 1800-talet och framåt. Denna återetablering mötte ett starkt motstånd i dåtidens nordiska samhälle, och fortfarande i början av 1960-talet framställdes katolicismen i allmänhet och klosterkommuniteterna i synnerhet som ett reellt hot mot nordisk identitet och nordiska värderingar. Ock

This thesis deals mainly with biocatalysed methods for stereoselective reduction. D-(S)-chlorolactic acid was produced by both microbial and electromicrobial reduction of chloropyruvate using whole cells of Proteus vulgaris and an artificial electron mediator. The electron donor was formate, hydrogen gas or the cathode in an electrochemical cell. Since chloropyruvate was susceptible to mediator de

Data commentary, the verbal comment on visual material, is a complex area in science writing; yet, few studies in academic writing focus on it, and teaching material is often too generic to be of use for students. This chapter presents an approach to addressing the teaching and learning of data commentary in ESP writing courses within the science disciplines involving direct application of a small
