Till alla känsliga Acknowledgements

you have been the best possible supervisors anyone can think of. If there was a Nobel Prize in PhD supervision, you should have it. You have always been there, offering support when I have faltered. In Swedish, you call it “handledning”, i.e. to lead by the hand. That is what you have done, and I am immensely thankful for that. At the same time, you have encouraged me to find my own path into the great unknown that is science. Mats Bende (I cannot refrain from also mentioning Eva Millqvist here as well), although we seldom meet I see you as the extended scientific family. I can only hope to develop the same warmth and curiousness that you possess in my own scientific career. Eva Palmqvist, Mikael Henningsson and Berndt Stenberg, your thoughts on my manuscipts have made this thesis much better than it would have been without your scrutinizing eyes. Birgitta Berglund, without your extremely thorough review of my texts, the reader would have had to suffer through a much worse thesis. It is uncommon to be lent the mind of such a magnitude for such a long period of time. I tip my hat to you. I would also like to thank all of you who have provided new idéas, interest-ing discussions and a helping hand in times of need: Annika Glader, Ann Rosén
