Bolivia is located in the central part of South America and has a large varied ecology - the Amazonas rainforests, the dry forests of the Chaco, the mist forests, the punas and high Andean vegetation. Plants that live in the Bolivia highlands have developed physical and chemicals defense mechanisms to survive in the hard environment of the region. Descriptions of the main stressors in the region a

Om John Tandbergs roll som humorist och arrangör av "practical jokes" i Lund under främst 1920-talet.

Popular Abstract in Swedish En ny metod för tillförsel av läkemedel, samt för koncentrationsmätning av olika kroppsegna och främmande ämnen i ögat. Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Vi har anpassat den sk mikrodialystekniken för intraokulärt bruk (dvs för ögon) på kaniner. Tekniken utvecklades ursprungligen vid Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, för mätning av signalsubstanser i hjärnan. Den bygThe method of microdialysis has been adapted for ocular use. It is a technique for monitoring concentrations of different molecules in a tissue in vivo. It is based on the principle of diffusion through a semipermeable membrane. The membrane is mounted on a soft plastic shaft, connected to an inlet and an outlet tube. The whole device, called microdialysis probe, was implanted into the vitreous bo

Kapitlet introducerar forskningen kring personlighet och religion som den bedrivits från 1950-talet fram till nu. Resultat från studier kring den auktoritära personligheten (Adorno), dogmatism (Rokeach), rigiditet–flexibilitet (Rubenowitz), extrinisikal-intrinsikal religiositet (Allport) och religion som medel, mål och sökande (Batson, Ventis och Schoenrade) presenteras.

Abstract in Undetermined Imagining Mass Dictatorship is the fifth volume in the ‘Mass Dictatorship’ series launched by Hanyang University's Research Institute of Comparative History and Culture and published by Palgrave. It sees twelve Swedish and Korean scholars, theorists, and historians of fiction and non-fiction probe the literary subject of life in 20th century mass dictatorships. Generously

This article deals with the establishment of auteurist criticism in early 1950s Britain, particularly emphasizing the role played by Oxford university film journal Sequence and the writings of future film director Lindsay Anderson.

Data from finished projects may stay in a researcher’s mind for many reasons: a fascination for a field, members’ charm, odd circumstances in the collecting process, analytical frustration etc. Yet the possibility of bringing back one’s attention to these data in order to understand them in new conceptual contexts is rarely as valued as the opposite: a quest for new data to be put in one’s famili

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arbetet med denna avhandling har handlat om hormon-känsligt lipas (HKL) och dess roll i β-cellerna, som producerar insulin och finns i bukspottskörteln. För att senare kunna beskriva vad vi har kommit fram till och vad det kan innebära, kommer jag först att kort beskriva HKL och sjukdomen diabetes. Hormon-känsligt lipas Hormon-känsligt lipas (HKL) är ett enzym, som fiHormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is a key enzyme in fatty acid mobilization. It is acutely regulated by extracellular signals via reversible phosphorylation. In the recent past, the focus of type 2 diabetes research has moved towards the lipid component. Lipids interfere with glucose homeostasis in a multitude of ways; they can decrease insulin sensitivity of tissues and cause β-cell dysfunction. Co

Compared to all other countries, the self-governing organisation of the Swedish Student Union has a unique position concerning its influence on Administration, Government and Parliament. Through the Teacher Union’s strike of 1966, its activities have become known in Germany. In particular, the students’ ability of organising lessons over an extended period of time has contributed to their populari

An M-BCJR algorithm is proposed and tested over an AWGN channel with moderate to very intense intersymbol interference (ISI). Two M-BCJR applications are evaluated, simple detection over the ISI channel and turbo equalization. The signaling is binary faster than Nyquist linear modulation. The ISI models tested correspond to transmission of increasingly many bits/Hz-s with a fixed signal spectra; t
