En diskussion rörande 2 Piers och The Glass Bubble av konstnären och landskapsarkitekten Monika Gora. Verken diskuteras i förhållande till platsbegreppet och mot en bakgrund av teoretiker och konstnärer som Miwon Kwon, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Rosalind Krauss, Robert Smithson och Ana Mendieta.

High and low molecular mass kininogen, two multidomain plasma proteins, bind to endothelial cells, platelets, and neutrophils in the intravascular compartment. The specific cell attachment site on their common heavy chain is mediated by domain-3, a cystatin-like structure with inhibitory capacity for papain-like proteinases (Jiang, Y., Muller-Esterl, W., and Schmaier, A. H. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 2

This chapter explores the role of gender equality on the long-run economicand demographic development path of industrialized countries. It accounts forchanges in fertility, technology and income per capita in the transition fromstagnation to sustained growth. Our unified cliometric growth model of femaleempowerment suggests that changes in gender relations, triggered byendogenous skill-biased techn

Transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α) exerts several effects on target cells, such as neovascularization promotion and mitogenic signalling. Using immunoelectron microscopy, we show that monocytes and neutrophils, store TGF- α in cytoplasmic granules. In monocytes, TGF-α did not colocalize with components of peroxidase-positive granules or with albumin of secretory vesicles. Furthermore, no colocal

Antibodies are an essential part of the human immune system, and antibody mediated immunity has been an area of interest for many researchers for almost a century. An accumulation of knowledge regarding antibody structure, glycosylation and receptor interactions has contributed to the current understanding of antibody mediated immunity. It has more recently become evident how bacteria and other mi

The antigen receptor loci are the only loci in humans to undergo programmed somatic gene modification. Although aberrant V(D)J integration and class switch recombination can both give rise to chromosomal translocations, a role for somatic hypermutation in such genomic rearrangements has been suggested but is less clearly established. To characterize the types of by-products of somatic hypermutatio

Climate change, migration, social injustice and loss of biodiversity are all examples of wicked problems that society is facing. The complexity and boundary-spanning nature of wicked problems require not only new competencies and skills, but also a different mindset. The responsibility of higher education is to ensure that the young people we educate are equipped with the knowledge, competencies a

The water resources shortage is considered as the main obstacle for human activities and economical development in the Northwest District of China where most lands are desert or uncultivated soils with arid, cold climate and very limited precipitation. The water supply in the district relies on both river flow and groundwater recharged from snow and glacier melt. However, water resources that were

Introduction Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose… Kris Kristofferson Whereas thecurrent debate on holding States accountable for extraterritorial human rights violations tends to focus on ‘jurisdiction’ or related concepts (such as ‘effective control’), the analogous public international law discourse on State responsibility appears to take a different path, managing to cope witho

This chapter explains how a mutual fund culture, which strengthened the link between households and the stock market, emerged exceptionally early in Sweden. We explore the popularisation of individual shareholding through state-subsidised fund savings schemes, the Tax Funds (introduced by the centre-right government in 1978) and the similar Everyman’s Funds (introduced by the Social Democratic gov

The intact SP6 χ promoter stimulated transcription 30 times more efficiently than did a control promoter consisting of a TATA motif as the only promoter element. Mutation of the SP6 χ promoter decamer in two positions reduced the transcriptional stimulation activity by over 90%. Promoters containing the SP6 χ promoter octamer or a consensus octamer in front of a TATA box were ineffective immunoglo

Modulation of ERP responses by predictability of information in negated contextsPrevious research has shown that language comprehension is incremental and that we can keep up with language input because we make predictions about the upcoming information [1]. If these predictions are confirmed, processing is facilitated. In event-related potential (ERP) studies, this facilitation effect appears in

English ergative verbs in one-participant constructions such as ‘The door opens’ often correspond to reflexive verbs or -S forms in Norwegian and Swedish. Following Kemmer (1993) such constructions profile spontaneous event meaning and belong to the middle domain. This study uses corpus methodology to explore spontaneous-event marking in Norwegian and Swedish from the point of view of Kemmer’s sug

We wanted to investigate if plasma levels of antimicrobial polypeptides (AMPs) are increased in severe sepsis and if they correlate with severity and mortality. Samples were collected from 31 sepsis patients at the intensive care unit. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score and 90-day mortality were registered, and inflammatory markers and AMP levels were measured by ELISA. A median

Papillomaviruses (PV) are a remarkably heterogeneous family of small DNA viruses that infect a wide variety of vertebrate species and are etiologically linked with the development of various neoplastic changes of the skin and mucosal epithelia. Based on nucleotide similarity, PVs are hierarchically classified into genera, species and types. Novel human PV (HPV) types are given a unique number only
