Queen Christina's of Sweden three letters to countess Ebba Sparre, written 1655 - 1657, are analyzed in relation to two epistolary models, the "lettre galante" and "la lettre d'amour" as they were understood by aristocrats and feminists in France in the 17th Century. Christina wrote both accordingly the "galante" model" and to the "lettre d'amour" model, but specifically to the male type of the "l

I denna antologi av nio svenska lyriker presenterar Henry Diab och Jalil Haidar ett urval av dikter från 90-talet i arabisk tolkning. De nio lyrikerna är: Fredrik Ekelund, Susanna Roxman, Niklas Törnlund, Bodil Malmsten, Inga-Lina Lindqvist, Karin Lentz, Magnus Florin, Jacques Werup och Michael Economou. Tolkningen är från svenska till arbiska förutom Susanna Roxmans dikter, som är tolkade från en

In β-decay experiments on 9C at CERN/ISOLDE the β-strength was determined to the ground state, the 12.2 MeV excited state and the Isobaric Analog State (IAS) at 14.655 MeV in 9B. A large β-strength asymmetry is deduced for the mirror transitions of 9C and 9Li to states around 12 MeV excitation energy. A satisfactory description of the three-body decay from a narrow energy region around the 12.2 Me

The combustion and melt dripping of poly(ethylene-co-butyl acrylate) (EBA), EBA blended with polypropylene (EBAePP) and poly (ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) (EMAA), each blended with calcium carbonate and polydimethylsiloxane, were studied. In situ measurement of the temperature gradient in the cone calorimeter were combined with infrared spectroscopy measurements on specimens withdrawn and quenche

Previous research works on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have mainly focused on the large length scale phenomena, such as physical and chemical transport phenomena at macroscale. A new approach is proposed in this work, which combines concepts from all-atom (AA) modeling with coarsegraining (CG) molecular dynamics (MD) method to reveal the replacement mechanism of Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ)

Popular Abstract in Swedish Många nya läkemedel har en mycket låg löslighet i vatten vilket medför att det behövs stora mängder vatten (ibland 10 tals liter) för att lösa upp en tillräcklig mängd av läkemedlet. Detta gör det till exempel omöjligt att ge medicinen som en injektion direkt i blodet. En möjlig lösning på detta problem är att lösa upp läkemedlet i en s. k. mikroemulsion istället. En miMicroemulsions are thermodynamically stable, transparent solutions of water, oil and amphiphile(s). It is possible to incorporate large amounts of oil in microemulsions, which makes them interesting for use as a drug delivery vehicle for water insoluble drugs. A prerequisite for pharmaceutical use, however, is a low toxicity of the composition. The aim of this thesis has thus been to characterize

Popular Abstract in Swedish Typ 2 diabetes (åldersdiabetes eller sockersjuka) är en av de vanligaste folksjukdomarna, som ofta medför allvarliga komplikationer. Typ 2 diabetes utvecklas under en lång tid och uppträder ofta tillsammans med andra riskfaktorer för hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar, såsom fetma, förhöjt blodtryck och förhöjda blodfetter. Denna sjukdomsbild kallas det metabola syndromet. IndiviType 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome are highly prevalent disorders with severe complications such as cardiovascular disease. The aetiology of type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome is not known, but the interaction between genetic factors and environmental triggers is important. The aim this thesis was to identify genetic factors that may increase susceptibility to these disorders by in

This is "an account of variable responses from Swedish municipalities in terms of both adaptation and mitigation measures. By looking at the relationships between national and municipal policies, Langlais examines the adaptation barriers and acknowledges the role of 'visionary individuals' in some municipalities for initiating local actions unders similar institutional and governance conditions. H

The completion of sequencing of human and other mammalian genomes opens a new era for drug development. New approaches have been proposed for tackling diseases such as development of small molecule therapies based on understanding of human genome and proteome, new proteinous based therapies, where the therapeutic protein can inhibit or modify a certain metabolic pathway or DNA-based therapies deli
