Popular Abstract in Swedish Målet avhandlingen har varit att undersöka möjligheten att bygga en kvantdator i kristaller dopade med joner av sällsynta jordartsmetaller. Det har visat sig att sådana joner har en väldigt lång livstid, vilket är en förutsättning för de typer av experiment som har utförts i den här avhandlingen. För att ytterliggare förhindra att de känsliga tillstånden i jonerna störsThis thesis describes a number of coherent processes, such as quantum information processing, superradiance and electromagnetically induced transparency, which have been experimentally implemented using rare-earth-ion-doped crystals. The rare-earths are a class of elements that have in common, an atomic structure that allows for very long lifetimes as well as coherence times, both on optical trans

High-spin states in the neutron-deficient nucleus In-107 were studied via the Ni-58(Cr-52,3p) reaction. In-beam gamma rays were measured using the JUROGAM detector array. A rotational cascade consisting of ten gamma-ray transitions, which decays to the 19/2(+) level at 2.002 MeV, was observed. The band exhibits the features typical for smooth terminating bands that also appear in rotational bands

For a number of applications, gluten protein polymer structures are of the highest importance in determining end-use properties. The present article focuses on gluten protein structures in the wheat grain, genotype- and environment-related changes, protein structures in various applications, and their impact on quality. Protein structures in mature wheat grain or flour are strongly related to end-

OBJECTIVES: The true incidence of symptomatic deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is unknown. Our aim was to determine the incidence of symptomatic DVT and PE and the risk factors for these complications. METHODS: Fourteen surgeons from 13 referral institutions from both Europe and the United States provided retrospecti

The present study focuses on the codeswitching phenomenon in Hong Kong and Swedish print newspaper advertisements. With a contrastive analysis of code-switched advertisements from Hong Kong and Sweden, this paper will also describe the patterns and structures of Cantonese-English and Swedish-English codeswitchings, what are mixed and the reasons why people code-switch. The results show that intra-

The institutional reform of EU poses a challenge for small Member States because it touches upon fundamental principles of formal equality and representation in EU. This paper tries to understand the strategies of small Member States towards the institutional reform. Hence, a theoretical model is developed. The theoretical model consists of three strategies that interact with on another: the offen

Slutsats: Hackern blev i tidningarnas diskurs inte bara en säkerhetsrisk utan även en samhällsfara. Hackern var en brottsling och det var endast i få artiklar som hackern framställdes på ett balanserat sätt. Det fanns dessutom flera sensationsartade artiklar där hackerns farlighet understryks. Hackern blev genom sin påstådda brottslighet och genom andra tecken ställd utanför nodalpunkten samhälle

So far the academic debate on the possible emergence of a European public sphere has been exhaustive however largely neglecting the implications of expressed multilingualism/linguistic diversity in the EU for formation of a public sphere. This study problematises the question of linguistic diversity within the framework of this debate. It outlines and examines the implications of linguistic divers

The objectives of this thesis are, by using an abductive methodology and from international regime and agenda-setting theoretical perspectives, to first define the European Union's Northern Dimension (ND) initiative as an international regime, secondly, to categorize the various formation stages of the policy regime and to identify future challenges. The thesis concludes with the following pol

ABSTRACT This thesis contains a partial edition of a previously unpublished manuscript, De lapidibus et gemmis (MH 59, Lund University Library). The manuscript was probably written in the late XVth century and consists of five parts. Part 1 (ff 1r-1v) and 2 (ff 2r-14r) are written in Latin, part 3 (ff 14v), which is probably later than the rest of manuscript (XVI century?), in German, part 4 (ff

Långtidssjukskrivningar har blivit allt mer av ett gissel för samhället. Det går inte en dag utan att långtidssjukskrivning diskuteras i media eller av politiker. Det har därför blivit ett allt mer intressant område för forskningen att bita i. Denna uppsats vill bidra till att ytterligare analysera fenomenet långtidssjukskrivning. Eftersom en större del av de långtidssjukskrivna är medelålders kvi

Over the coming decades, Europe is one of the first parts of the world to face a gradual decline of its population which in turn will lead to a sustained process of aging in society. Though some European countries are more affected than others, this phenomenon is shared by most of the post-industrial societies of Western Europe. Among other economic and social effects, these radical changes will p

The rhetoric of the "European Social Model" came into existence in 1990s. On the one hand it emphasizes the social character of the Europe which is based on the embedded liberalism- regulation of economy through institutions-, and de-commodification- not letting alone the individual against the market forces. On the other hand, it is notifying an emerging "new social security paradi

The European integration is one of the spectacular historical events. The result that has been obtained would be virtually impossible for any other regional organization to achieve. However, the continuation of this accomplishment depends upon some premises. Throughout this study, the crucial dynamics of the last two decades, which have rekindled the integration endeavor, are questioned from the n

This study provides an analysis of EU's promotion of regional co-operation in the Southeast Europe (SEE) through the lenses of norm diffusion theory. While attempting to answer the question of how and why norm diffusion takes place, if it does happen; both the EU and the SEE are evaluated in an interaction in order to sketch out their mutual engagement in the diffusion process. A minor but rel

This is a study on transnational advocacy networks in the context of an accommodative EU multi-level governance system . Using the gay and lesbian network in the EU, I argue that transnational advocacy networks are successful in policy introduction (i.e. the inclusion of anti-discrimination clause in the Amsterdam Treaty) when they use leverage politics, accountability politics, symbolic politics,

During the past decade, the debate on European foreign policy often inclined towards a criticism of its coherence and effectiveness, especially in its security and defence dimensions. Using rational choice institutionalism and functional regime theories, the central research problem that this thesis sets out to explore is the character of cooperation within Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFS
