1. 1. New insights into lubricated tribological contacts

   Författare :Elin Larsson; Staffan Jacobson; Åsa Kassman Rudolphi; Jannica Heinrichs; Philip Shipway; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tribology; friction; wear; lubrication; fuel additive; boric acid; tribofilm; transport; fuel efficiency; surface analysis; grease; LiX grease; PP grease; fretting; electrical contacts; cross section; copper; silver; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot tribomaterial; Engineering Science with specialization in Tribo Materials;

   Sammanfattning : The emissions of carbon dioxide, CO2, must rapidly be reduced to avoid severe climate change. Tribology-related solutions can be an important part in reducing these emissions. The aim of this thesis is to improve the fundamental knowledge in two tribology-related fields, both concerning lubrication, to enable such solutions in the future. LÄS MER

3. 2. Missed opportunities : prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Uganda

   Författare :Elin C Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :HIV; prevention of mother-to-child transmission PMTCT ; HIV testing; access; Uganda; Health and Demographic Surveillance Site HDSS ;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Despite the existence of effective interventions such as prophylactic antiretroviral medicines, mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV is still a major reason for HIV transmission in sub-Saharan Africa. Antenatal care (ANC) facilities are the main location for implementing prevention of MTCT (PMTCT) programmes and HIV testing is the first step in PMTCT. LÄS MER

4. 3. Management Accounting Fashion Setting - Studies on Supply-Side Actors in Sweden

   Författare :Elin Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; beyond budgeting; lean; lifecycle pattern; management accounting innovation; management fashion; management fashion-setting process; supply side;

   Sammanfattning : The successful introduction of a number of new management accounting concepts or management accounting innovations (MAIs) over recent decades, such as activi-ty-based costing and the balanced scorecard, has had a significant impact on man-agement accounting practice. This thesis adopts a management fashion perspective on new management accounting concepts, which views the activities of supply-side actors such as management consultants, the business press, and conference organizers, as crucial to the success of management accounting concepts in a mar-ketplace of potential users.

5. 4. Managementmoden och popularitetssvängningar - En studie av Lean-konceptet i svensk populärpress 1990-2008

   Författare :Elin Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Management fashion; lean; waves of popularity; print-media indicators; popular press; content analysis; design; rhetoric; diffusion;

   Sammanfattning : This study takes its departure from an observation of a lifecycle pattern of the Lean concept in Swedish print-media that diverged from the typical bell-shaped pattern of manage-ment fashion lifecycles identified in previous research. A full bell-shaped lifecycle pattern was identified for the period of 1990-1997. LÄS MER

7. 5. The use of monogenic disease to study basal and disease associated mechanisms with focus on NGF dependent pain insensitivity and ISCU myopathy

   Författare :Elin Larsson; Monica Holmberg; Geoff Woods; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; monogenic; disease; NGF; receptor; pain insensitivity; ISCU; myopathy; splicing; molecular medicine medical sciences ; molekylär medicin medicinska vetenskaper ;

   Sammanfattning : Monogenic diseases make excellent models for the study of gene functions and basal cellular mechanisms in humans. The aim of this thesis was to elucidate how genetic mutations affect the basal cellular mechanisms in the monogenic diseases Nerve growth factor (NGF) dependent pain insensitivity and Iron-Sulphur cluster assembly protein U (ISCU) myopathy.
