Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling har jag studerat frisättning samt effekter av GABA i de Langerhanska öarna i bukspottskörteln. GABA är en välkänd signalmolekyl i hjärnan och man vet att den där har en hämmande effekt på hjärncellerna. Detta betyder att GABAs effekter i hjärnan ofta är lugnande och/eller sövande. GABA finns även i höga koncentratitioner i de insulinproducerande β-celGABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) is a well-known inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS. GABA is also present at high concentrations in the insulin-producing β-cells in the islets of Langerhans, but its function there is less clear. GABA is believed to accumulate in SLMVs (synaptic-like microvesicles). These vesicles are different from the insulin-containing LDCVs (large dense-core vesicles). In this th

Shorter product life cycles (Ottosson, 2004) and more diversified offers of products (Olsmats, 2002) are market trends in the present day. Companies have to deal with customers with rapidly changing demands, who are looking for high-quality products at low costs. The ability to rapidly respond to such demands can be referred to as a company’s agile manufacturing abilities. Nagel and Dove (1991) su

The fracture process of a laminate is analysed. The laminate is a material used for packaging.It consists of a thin aluminium foil with a polymer coating. In both materials, the fractureprocesses are supposed to be dominantly localized plastic deformation. A Barenblatt regionis supposed to spread ahead of the crack tip. This region is analysed in its cross planeinvoking plane deformation conditionThe fracture process of a laminate is analysed.

En samling texter med utgångspunkt i föredrag på konferensen Musik och samhälle 4 och 5 (2012-2013). Innehållet spänner över allt som har med musikens roll i vidare samhälleliga perspektiv: pedagogik, lärande, studieförbunds- och arrangörsverksamhet, text- och musikanvändande, hiphopkultur, kulturarvsfrågor i samband med musik.

A computational procedure has been developed to correlate the room fire test process and results from the proposed IS0 small scale laboratory tests. The analysis assumes that the full scale room fire test follows the proposed ASTM method, implying that the lining material covers ceiling and walls. The procedure requires that the heat release measurement response time of the test room is evaluated

The use of the analytical tools of classic and neo-classic economics has played a significant role in the study of Africa’s economic history since the 1970s. In this paper, we summon this body of work under the paradigm of Smithian growth models. Although different in techniques and approaches, this work shares a use of markets as the organising principle of the study. The aim of this paper is to

Preliminary results from a study about voice alarms are presented in this paper. The purpose of the study is to explore both how messages should be worded and how they should be presented. The paper focuses on an introductory questionnaire study at an IKEA store and unannounced evacuation experiments at Lund University. The results of these activities suggest that it is preferable to mention the w

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populära tidskrifter och flertalet debattörer har alltsedan 80-talet hävdat att privatisering leder automatiskt till en förbättring av företagets effektivitet. På grund av dessa diskussioner har man litat mycket på marknadskrafter, då man trott att dessa krafter kan ombilda organisationer med goda effekter. Avhandlingen är en kritik mot dessa ansatser. Författaren försöThe majority of research on privatisation has been driven by, inter alia, economics. Some economists have argued that private ownership introduces capital market pressures into inefficient state bureaucracies. Private property rights are expected to maximise the incentives for management to achieve a high level of production efficiency. The argument put forward in this research is that in so far a
