Each and every thought, word, feeling or action of a person recele a surplus of meaning, opening on all the possible worlds accessible for him/her. A vision on those possible worlds and possibilities of action, should be of the highest interest for psychological research. Research in cross/cultural/intercultural psychology confronts the researcher to language, in conversations, narratives, writing

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra of a bush and numerous branches of Chinese Longjing tea were investigated remotely with lidar techniques. The intensity ratio between the far red fluorescence (FRF) and red fluorescence (RF) due to the chlorophyll content of the tea branches were analyzed to study the growth conditions in different villages around Hangzhou, China. Dried Longjing tea leaves

Many models currently discussed in PR studies lack a supporting meta-theory of what managing communication is about, and consequently paint a simplistic picture of what communicating with publics or managing phenomena such as reputation actually means. While it is common to speak of “building” trust or “constructing” images, “cultivating” seems a more appropriate metaphor. Publics are complex, dyn

This article analyzes the migration experiences of thirteen separated minors who arrived in Sweden between 1943 and 2008. Using the framework of the “liberated self” this chapter shows that the experiences of separated minors are shaped in the intersection between contexts and conditions of transnational migration and the Swedish reception system. Their efforts to continue living based on the past

To describe a new model for in vitro assessment of novel vitreous substitute candidates.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Graviditetsdiabetes (GD) är en sjukdom utan någon allmänt erkänd definition och vars prognos för kvinnan och hennes foster/barn är omdiskuterad. Därför har det från etisk synpunkt ifrågasatts om man verkligen ska försöka identifiera den. Rapporter har dock angivit ökad risk att få stora barn för tiden och ökad perinatal dödlighet vid graviditetsdiabetes samt att dessa kGestational diabetes (GD) is still a nonentity disease. There is no worldwide consensus how to define it or whether it is harmful to the woman or fetus. Therefore, from an ethical point of view, it is uncertain whether one should try to identify it. Since 1991, all pregnant women in Lund are offered a 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 27 – 28 weeks of pregnancy. In Sweden, the definition o

Background: To evaluate and describe the cone function in the normal and lesioned rabbit retina using the multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG). Methods: Twelve animals underwent a two-port vitrectomy with subsequent retinectomy in one eye. The area of removed retina was located in the nasal part of the visual streak, and measured approximately 1-2 disc diameters. Both eyes were investigated with m

The formation of segmental grooves during mid embryogenesis in the Drosophila epidermis depends on the specification of a single row of groove cells posteriorly adjacent to cells that express the Hedgehog signal. However, the mechanism of groove formation and the role of the parasegmental organizer, which consists of adjacent rows of hedgehog- and wingless-expressing cells, are not well understood
