Representations of the Female Swedish-American: From the Drag Maid to the Bikini Girl In Swedish films from above all the 1930s, the Swedish American visitor is a rather recurrent guest. Interestingly, the Swedish-American women are often portrayed much more negatively than their male counterpart, a fact that becomes visibly apparent in for example dress and role behaviour. The Swedish woman shou

Jalil Haidar (född i Baghdad 1945, är sedan 1991 bosatt i Malmö)arbetar med ett sparsmakat språk befriat från äldre tiders retorik. Hans texter är täta och intensiva under en skenbar enkelhet. Bakom diktningen ligger ett engagemang i mänsklighetens och poesins vilkor, en strävan efter människans frihet och en bättre framtid.

The transcription factor Wilms' tumor gene 1 (WT1) is highly expressed in the majority of leukemias, suggesting a role in leukemogenesis. Acquired WT1 mutations are reported as an independent predictor of poor clinical outcome, and mutations resulting in deletion of the entire DNA-binding zinc-finger domain (WT1delZ), is the most common type. The aim of this study was to study cellular effects of

Background: Families living with mental illness can experience added burden and eventually own ill health. National and international guidelines support the development of web based solutions to cost-effectively address health care needs. Mapping patterns of internet use may help tailor interventions to effectively address users' needs. Aim: The study's aim was to explore the contents of relatives

The cysteinyl-leukotrienes (cysLTs: LTC4, LTD4 and LTE4) have an important pathophysiological role in asthma. They are not only extremely potent bronchoconstrictors, but are also involved in the central mechanisms of the asthmatic inflammation and the subsequent remodelling of the airways. Allergen-induced bronchoconstriction as well as spontaneous exacerbations of asthma are associated with incre

Today’s multimedia and DSP applications impose requirements on performance and power consumption that only custom processor architectures with SIMD capabilities can satisfy. However, the specific features of such architectures, including vector operations and high-bandwidth complex memory organization, make them notoriously complicated and time consuming to program. In this paper we present an aut

We report a novel size-insensitive method, iso-acoustic focusing (IAF), that can, for the first time, analyze and separate cells based on their intrinsic acoustic properties. We characterize the IAF system using two different cell lines and apply it to measuring the acoustic impedance of two subgroups of white blood cells (WBC): neutrophils and lymphocytes. We find cell type specific differences i
