Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) is a modern, reliable tool that complements other chromatographic techniques. This book provides a practical guide to the basic principles, procedures and pitfalls on the practical application of TLC. Thin Layer Chromatography: A Modern Practical Approach offers a sequence of chapters following the steps of the technique as the chromatographer would follow them. The chapters provide a choice of sorbent best suited to the separation intended, followed by pre-treatment required for the sample, applying the sample to the sorbent layer, development procedure, visualisation and detection, and finally quantification. Imaging and hyphenation techniques are described. The reasons why recommendations are made for specific and more general methods are covered. The book also provides an overview of some recent developments in the field.

Fokus för den här ämnesdidaktiska studien är innehållet i EU-undervisning på högstadiet.Val av ämnesinnehåll har betydelse för hur ett kunskapsområde framställs och vilken kunskap elever utvecklar om kunskapsområdet. Innehåll kan vara olika väl utformat för att utveckla kompetenser för politiskt deltagande. Hur ser detta ut i högstadiets EU-undervisning? Studien undersöker om det är politikens regler och institutioner (polity), politikens mål och innehåll (policy) eller den politiska processen med samarbete och opinionsbildning (politics) som dominerar? Vidare diskuteras i vilken utsträckning politiken framstår som en angelägenhet för medborgarna (ett inrikespolitiskt perspektiv kontra ett utrikespolitiskt perspektiv). I studien undersöks också i vilken utsträckning EU-undervisning integreras med andra kunskapsområden och om undervisningen sker i samband med särskilda händelser, som till exempel val.Undervisning om svensk politik nationell nivå fungerar i studien som en referenspunkt mot vilken EU-undervisningen jämförs. Resultatet, som bygger på lärarintervjuer, visar att EU-undervisningen skiljer sig markant från undervisningen om politik på nationell nivå. En slutsats är att EU-undervisning är mindre väl utformad för politiskt deltagande än vad undervisning om nationell politik är.
