To study the process of domestic market integration in Lao People’s Democratic Republic (hereafter Lao PDR), this chapter explores the spatial variation in beer prices and its relationship with transport costs and various local market characteristics. More specifically, we study how the price of a 640 ml bottle of Beer Lao varies across the country. In a well- integrated market, we expect the law
In this article, I argue that Finnish passive participle (e.g. avattu 'opened' and suljettu 'closed') can be multiply ambiguous: the "same" morphophonological forms exhibit different patterns of eventivity and agentivity, and are used to form "traditional" non-agreeing passives, agreeing resultative passives and agreeing sentences that describe "pure" states and behave in most contexts like "tradi
This study examines the 'Emergence of Trans-Jordan' in the light of the Cairo Conference, which was held in March, 1921 on the initiative of Winston Churchill. It examines furthermore, British political activities in the Near East in general and Trans-Jordan in particular, following the establishment of Trans-Jordan under Emir Abdullah ibn Husayn. This study which is concerned with the period 1921
Summary of remarks with reference to a Sewdish study about new technology in elderly people´s housing
Methodologies and legislative frameworks regarding the archaeological excavation, retrieval, analysis, curation and potential reburial of human skeletal remains differ throughout the world. As work forces have become increasingly mobile and international research collaborations are steadily increasing, the need for a more comprehensive understanding of different national research traditions, metho
Thirty-nine streptococcal strains belonging to groups A, C, and G and 12 staphylococcal strains were investigated with respect to surface charge and hydrophobicity. Isoelectric points of the bacteria were determined by cross-partition experiments in dextran-polyethylene glycol two-phase systems containing charged polymers. The results obtained indicate that group A, C, and G streptococci have isoe
DNA microarray technology has been a valuable tool to provide a global view of the changes in gene expression that characterize different types of B cell lymphomas, both in relation to clinical parameters but also in comparison with the non-malignant counterparts. The number of transcripts that can be analyzed on an array has dramatically increased, and now most commercially available arrays cover
The diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) relies on the bacteriological examination of sputum. However, microscopy of smears made directly from sputum has a low sensitivity and there is an urgent need for improved methods. We have compared microscopy of smears made directly from sputum with microscopy after liquefaction of sputum with household bleach (NaOCl) and concentration of bacteria by ce
Wear curves from individual patients often show unexplained irregular wear curves or impossible values (negative wear). We postulated errors of two-dimensional wear measurements are mainly the result of radiographic projection differences. We tested a new method that makes two-dimensional wear measurements less sensitive for radiograph projection differences of cemented THAs. The measurement error
