För att museerna ska kunna möta sin publik och representera människor, kulturer och subkulturer med respekt och tolerans, måste den vetenskapliga debatten hållas fri. Dagens överdrivna självkritik och romantiska relativism riskerar att leda till en skev bild av historien. Det skriver Christer Lindberg, professor i socialantropologi, som här ger sin syn på kulturpolitiken och museernas framtid.
This report presents basic concepts around resources, resource efficiency and the Circular Economy. The limitations and the opportunities within the Circular Economy are identified and clearly presented. The current policy landscape in the EU as well as in Sweden is thoroughly analysed and a set of policy areas with a significant untapped potential for resource efficiency is identified. The policy
Background: Personal history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a lower incidence of prostate cancer, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. We hypothesized that genetic factors that are involved in the development of T2DM might protect against prostate cancer. Methods: We used a few Swedish registers, including the Swedish Multigeneration Register and the Cancer Reg
Dasatinib (DAS) and interferon-α have antileukemic and immunostimulatory effects and induce deep responses in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We assigned 40 newly diagnosed chronic-phase CML patients to receive DAS 100 mg o.d. followed by addition of pegylated interferon-α2b (PegIFN) after 3 months (M3). The starting dose of PegIFN was 15 μg/week and it increased to 25 μg/week at M6 until M15. The
The human placenta is a critical life-support system that nourishes and protects a rapidly growing fetus; a unique organ, species specific in structure and function. We consider the pressing challenge of providing additional advice on the safety of prescription medicines and environmental exposures in pregnancy and how ex vivo and in vitro human placental models might be advanced to reproducible h
In the late 19th century, political debates emerged in Sweden and Norway as well as in Finland concerning Travelling families – in this article defined as indigenous itinerant families whom the settled population pejoratively designated with terms such as ‘tatere’ (Norway), ‘tattare’ (Sweden) or ‘zigenare’ (Finland). In this article, these debates are compared, and the transfer of ideas and propos
To provide a new reconstruction of the deglaciation of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet, in the form of calendar-year time-slices, which are particularly useful for ice sheet modelling, we have compiled and synthesized published geomorphological data for eskers, ice-marginal formations, lineations, marginal meltwater channels, striae, ice-dammed lakes, and geochronological data from radiocarbon, varve,
Background Secundum atrial septal defect (ASD2) is one of the most common cardiac malformations diagnosed in adult life. Catheter closure has made treatment possible even in patients of high age. However, published outcome data for elderly patients is limited. The aim of this study was to report, on a national basis, the long-term outcome of ASD2 catheter closure in the elderly. Material and resul
The dynamical processes associated with electric field manipulation of the polarization in a ferroelectric remain largely unknown but fundamentally determine the speed and functionality of ferroelectric materials and devices. Here we apply subpicosecond duration, single-cycle terahertz pulses as an ultrafast electric field bias to prototypical BaTiO3 ferroelectric thin films with the atomic-scale
The European Space Agency's Gaia satellite was launched into orbit around L2 in December 2013 with a payload containing 106 large-format scientific CCDs. The primary goal of the mission is to repeatedly obtain high-precision astrometric and photometric measurements of one thousand million stars over the course of five years. The scientific value of the down-linked data, and the operation of the on
Olof von Dalin (1708–1763) är en skepnadsskiftande person och diktare. I sina texter anlägger han gärna masker, talar genom främmande, uppdiktade munnar. Dalin är inte bara en författare, utan många. Han anteciperade Bellman, som i likhet med sin förebild Dalin gav liv åt olika karaktärer och talade och sjöng med olika poetiska tonfall. Dalin är både pekoralpastischens upphovsman i Sverige och den
»Märket» på svensk arbetsmarknad innebär att exportindustrins löneöverenskommelse fungerar som norm för alla andra avtal. Det är ett omstritt system, men trots detta vet vi mycket lite om dess uppkomsts. I den här texten dyker ekonomhistorikern Erik Bengtsson djupt ner i källorna för att hitta bakgrunden till systemet, och finner att tidigare forskning haft fel i antagandet om att en lönepolitik l
