I denna rapport studeras inverkan av frost i kombination med fukt på bärförmågan hos armerad balk förstärkt med kolfiberkomposit på vidhäftningen mellan betongen och kolfiberkompositen.

"Such in truth is our lot that while we are English to the Irish, we are Irish to the English. For the one island does not detest us more than the other." The sentiment expressed by the Anglo-Norman knight Maurice Fitzgerald in 1171 was one that many Anglo-Irish shared more than 700 years later. This study deals with an area of Anglo-Irish literature neglected by present-day researchers: novels wr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Att vara äldre, beroende av hjälp och leva med varaktig smärta. För äldre människor som är beroende av hjälp från omvärlden för att klara av sitt dagliga liv, utgör inte bara den nedsatta funktion ett problem. Många är drabbade även av andra problem, varav ett vanligt är ihållande och varaktig smärta. För vissa äldre med gravt nedsatt funktion kan språket ha drabbat's This thesis explores everyday living with persistent pain from the perspectives of functionally dependent older persons in pain and of staff. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was chosen. Data were collected using interviews and tools for assessing pain. The first data collection included 66 persons (65+) living in sheltered accommodation and their corresponding contact nurses.

The bacterial surfaces of enterococci are not uniform. This fact is confirmed by several studies and by our results when great differences between individual strains with regard to their cell surface hydrophobicity, binding of eight ECM (extracellular matrix) molecules immobilized on latex beads and four selected ECM molecules in microtiter plates were observed. The strains expressing high binding

Interfacial electron transfer is one of the key processes in the novel type of photovoltaic cells-dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC). By means of transient absorption spectroscopy we have studied the dynamics of the initial photo-induced processes in dye-sensitized nano-porous thin films of wide-band gap semiconductor microcrystallines, which represent the main photoactive part of DSSC. In the most

This paper considers detection of internal decay in standing trees of species Picea abies (L.) Karst. The novel approach is based on two-dimensional spatiotemporal modal analysis of a cross-section which is excited by the hand-made impact of a hammer. An array of accelerometers is distributed around the cross-section, and the resulting impact response is analysed. The temporal frequency for a spec

This thesis examines exclusion from the housing market, its justifications, and the resulting public images of the excluded. It is based upon a study of discourses within three different forms of social housing in Sweden; the poorhouse of the 19th century, the public housing sector of the 1980s and 1990s, and the housing currently supplied by the local social authorities. My emphasis is on the lat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vad innebär det att vara en god medborgare? Frågan är lika enkel och tidlös som svaret är komplext och mångfacetterat. I grunden har det att göra med hur vi tänker politik. Frågan har i sin förlängning också djup moralisk innebörd och går tillbaka på våra normativa föreställningar om det goda samhället. Svaret vi ger varierar därför med olika värden och ideal; en god meWhat does it mean to be a good citizen? Starting with Aristotle’s ethics and philosophy of friendship formulated between the private and the public in politics' and with the timeless question of what makes a society possible as a backdrop, the author outlines a possible answer. A good citizen is a virtuous citizen, and a virtuous citizen is prudent, courageous, moderate and just. In addition, a go

Popular Abstract in Undetermined Vårt immunförsvar består av molekyler, celler, och barriärer som har till uppgift att hålla oss friska genom att avlägsna eller stänga ute virus och skadliga mikroorganismer. På alla kärnförsedda celler i vår kropp sitter en stor mängd MHC klass I-molekyler, strukturer som kan liknas vid korgar. I varje korg ligger en peptid som är ett fragment av något som finns iHuman leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) molecules are present on all nucleated cells and present the cell content to cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the form of peptides. Maturation of HLA-I occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum and results in stable peptide-HLA-I complexes, in the presence of proper quality control. For proper peptide binding most HLA-I molecules interact with the peptide-loading comple

The aim of the current project (“Swedish Phonetics ’39-‘69”) is to provide an account of the historical, social, discursive, and rhetoric con-ditions that determined the emergence of pho-netic science in Sweden between 1939 and 1969. The inquiry is based on a investigation in four areas: how empirical phonetic data were analysed in the period, how the discipline gained new knowledge about phonetic

The population growth in China together with the rapid industrialization and urbanization have increased the utilization of natural resources, leading to more waste being released to the environment. Thus, the environmental conditions have degraded in many regions to a point where environmentally related problems have become the main limiting factors for economical development and social progress.

Female religious communities, and later also convents, accompanied the return of the Roman Catholic Church to the Nordic countries in the middle of the nineteenth century. These religious communities were mostly so-called active orders or congregations, who helped in par-ishes or ran private schools, orphanages or nursing homes. In the 1930s there were nearly 1,400 Catholic sisters working in Scan

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mjölk anses som det enda flytande livsmedlet som på naturlig väg innehåller de tre fundamentala byggstenarna, fett, protein och kolhydrater, vilket definierar ett livsmedel näringsmässigt. Majoriteten av världens vuxna befolkning är dock tvungen att ha en begränsad konsumtion av mjölk då toleransen för dess kolhydrat, laktos, minskar med vuxen ålder. Detta beror främst This thesis deals with the fermentation characteristics of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in oat-based suspensions, with formulation work of fermented products based on oat and with nutritional studies of these products. Changes in structure in terms of viscosity and ropiness were studied when exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing LAB strains, namely, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus NCFB 2772,
