Family and twin studies have suggested a genetic component in autism. We performed a genome-wide screen with 264 microsatellites markers in 51 multiplex families, using non-parametric linkage methods. Families were recruited by a collaborative group including clinicians from Sweden, France, Norway, the USA, Italy, Austria and Belgium. Using two-point and multipoint affected sib-pair analyses, 11 r

Since many years, international tax law experts debate the relevance of changes to OECD Commentaries for the purpose of the interpretation of previously concluded tax treaties. Although, generally, most experts seem averse to the idea of an ambulatory approach to the usage of OECD Commentaries, they are reluctant to exclude this idea altogether. Such a position raises an important issue of justifi

The article examines how the Danish esoteric and heterodox Freemason Carl William Hansen (also known as Ben Kadosh) used and reinterpreted themes and motifs from the Old Testament and various Gnostic writings when constructing his unusual and aberrant philosophical system in his pamphlet "The Dawn of a New Morning: The Return of World Architect".

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärt-lungräddning (HLR) introducerades 1960 och fick genast stor betydelse vid be-handlingen av hjärtinfarkt. Så småningom kom metoden att användas vid nästan alla till-fällen då hjärtat stannade. I mitten av 70-talet började man i USA utfärda ordinationer till sjuksköterskorna att HLR inte skulle startas på vissa patienter i händelse av att hjärtat skulle stanna. DettThe purpose was to describe ethical aspects on how do-not-resuscitate (DNR) deci-sions are made, established, and communicated between physicians, nurses, patients and relatives. A random sample of 220 physicians and nurses answered a questionnaire about their attitudes to and experiences of the making and communication of a DNR decision. The re-sponse rate was 73%. Twenty seriously ill patients,

Photosynthesis in plants is a very complicated process, utilizing two photosystems in series to carry out the very energy-demanding process of oxidizing water to molecular oxygen and reducing carbon dioxide to organic compounds. The first photosynthetic organisms, living more than 3.4, perhaps even 3.8 Ga, i.e. American billion (109) years ago, carried out a simpler process, without oxygen product

In the last decade there has been interest in Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition- HCCI as a way to increase the efficiency of the gasoline engine. The attractive properties are increased fuel efficiency due to reduced throttling losses, increased expansion ratio and higher thermodynamic efficiency. The main drawback of HCCI is the absence of direct combustion timing control. Therefore all the

Mixed feelings: fear and consolation now and then (from the 17th to the 21st century). In Early Modern Swedish society a great amount of ideas, words and images were available to explain the earthly suffering. In the Lutheran practice of preaching, consolation, besides instruction and admonition, played an important role. Today, our life is not as hard as our ancestors’ was. This has enabled us to
