En läsning av Bruno K. Öijers författarskap som ett försök att bekämpa förtryck; detta sker via två vägar eller metoder: anarki och magi. Ytterst är poesin den kraft där dessa vägar sammanstrålar till fullo. Både textanalys och biografiska tolkningar ingår i mitt upplägg.

This article introduces' the concept of distributed economies (DE) as a fresh strategy to guide industrial development towards becoming more sustainable. The concept calls for a transformation in the industrial system towards DE departing from the socio-economically and environmentally unsustainable dynamics associated with large-scale, centralised production units that are favoured by neoclassica

The article presents an experiment in which students, classified according to high and low analytical performance, were given a reading and text production test to determine their sensibility to the structure of an Icelandic saga. This material was used because of its extreme simplicity on the textual surface level, a property suited for studying structure as something beyond the surface. The hypo

In order to determine the clinical significance of decreased fetal movement counts, pregnancy outcome was compared between women with decreased fetal movement counts on their Fetal Movement Charts (FMC) (n = 161) and women with normal fetal movement counts (n = 1,354). 1,515 women in the third trimester of pregnancy counted fetal movements for 15 min in the evening and noted the count on a FMC. An

Cystatin F is a recently discovered type II cystatin expressed almost exclusively in immune cells. It is present intracellularly in lysosome-like vesicles, which suggests a potential role in regulating papain-like cathepsins involved in antigen presentation. Therefore, interactions of cystatin F with several of its potential targets, cathepsins F, K, V, S, H, X and C, were studied in vitro. Cystat

Genetic alterations, such as p53 mutations, may affect a tumour's response to chemotherapy. We have treated two human breast cancer cell lines that differ in p53 status with epirubicin in order to study if there are differences in cell cycle kinetic response. MCF-7 cells express wild-type p53, while SK-BR-3 cells express only a mutated form of p53. The transition of cells from one cell cycle stage

We have shown in a computational model that a poor memory for context could result in some of the behaviors associated with ADHD, which is well in line with the dynamic developmental theory. Given the important role of context in extinction, a weaker context due to a steeper delay-of-reinforcement gradient would result in impaired inhibition.

In the rat eye, intracameral injections of substance P in doses of 10-30 pmol caused a maximal long-lasting miosis and a leakage of plasma proteins into the aqueous humor, indicating a breakdown of the blood-aqueous barrier. Neurokinin A seemed equipotent to SP, but calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) (17 pmol) caused neither miosis nor protein leakage into the aqueous humor. The same result wa

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna avhandling är att undersöka varför och hur skogsbruk införs i Sverige under 1800-talet och vilka konsekvenser det har under perioden. Med skogsbruk avses den systematiska odling av högskog som sprids från Tyskland från 1700-talets slut. De konsekvenser som avses är de naturförändringar och de sociala konflikter som skogsbruket medför liksom de nya värdeThe aim of this dissertation is to investigate how and why silviculture was introduced in Sweden in the nineteenth century and the consequences this introduction had during the same period. The term silviculture refers to the systematic cultivation of high forest, a method that spread from Germany at the end of the eighteenth century. The consequences referred to are the changes in nature and the

A nonlinear 3D finite element model and a theoretical parameter study in relation to glued-in rods for timber structures are presented. A strain-softening crack band model was used to characterise the behaviour of the adhesive layer between the rod and the wood. The model is general in the sense that it bridges the gap between the theory of an ideal plastic bondline and the theory of linear elasti

Seventy standardized ringing sessions were carried out from April 1997 to August 2000 in a reedbed in Ria de Aveiro at Salreu, Portugal. The variation in the abundance of the common species is described as well as some aspects of their weight dynamics. Both, number of birds and species were higher during summer and autumn, when passage migrants occur and the number of juveniles is high. The pre-br

The author (professor of Scandinavian linguistics, *1934, living in Lund or nearby) compares his own dialect with that of his mother (house-wife, *1912, living nearly all her life 15 kilometers outside Kalmar). Interestingly, he found very few differences. The article discusses why.
