Mary Wollstonecraft is a writer whose work continues to provoke scholarly debate. But Wollstonecraft the historical figure often obscures her importance as a philosopher. Halldenius explores Wollstonecraft’s political philosophy, focusing on her treatment of republicanism and independence, to propose a new way of reading her work – that of a ‘feminist republican’. Wollstonecraft’s works of fiction

We consider the effect of symbol rate on the constrained capacity of linear modulation with a fixed spectral density. We show that constrained capacity grows with the symbol rate for some modulation pulses but shrinks with others. Sufficient conditions on the pulse are derived for the constrained capacity to be monotonically increasing with faster symbol rate. Most standard pulses fulfill these.

Denna rapport är en fristående och diskuterande fortsättning på rapporten Spel som lust och träning (2009), som redogjorde för projektet SpelTID. Projektet gick ut på att presentera och prova tv- och datorspel för barn och ungdomar i habilitering inom Region Skåne under 2007 och 2008 och resulterade året därpå i Spelkällan, ett kunskapscentrum i Lund som ska underlätta användningen av tv- och dato

It is the aim of this thesis to contribute to a research-based understanding of researchers’ use of blogs as a part of scholarly communication. The following research questions guide the investigation: (1) How are scholarly blogs constructed and used as sociotechnical systems in scholarly communication? (2) Which roles do scholarly blogs play in relation to other forms of scholarly communicati

Mänskliga samhällen har i alla tider utövat inflytande på sin omgivande miljö genom sitt sätt att söka föda, bosätta sig, resa och handla, samt genom att utvinna de resurser hennes samhällsskick kräver. Människan är, i biologisk mening, en generalist: genom socioekonomiska, kulturella och i viss mån genetiska anpassningar har hon koloniserat samtliga naturtyper på jorden. Hon bosätter sig i de tor

An important competitive advantage source for firms in complex, uncertain, and high-velocity environments is their external knowledge-related relationships. Information and communication technologies (ICT) can play an important role in knowledge-intensive processes and flows. Using the dynamic capability and absorptive capability views the paper presents and discusses how ICT can be used to enhanc

The aim of the article is to discuss the interpretation of the Romanesque round church towers in Scandinavia. The article focuses on the 15-19 churches with round towers in medieval Denmark, Sweden and Norway, with the main part in Southern Schleswig and Scania; none are known from Finland. The chronology and social context, function and meaning of the church towers are discussed. Finally a list o

Abstract Objective. Infravesical obstruction leads to growth of urinary bladder smooth-muscle cells. The ganglion cells innervating the bladder muscle also increase in size. Stretch of detrusor muscle cells rapidly activates c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK), which phosphorylates the transcription factor c-Jun, and stimulates the synthesis of the cotranscription factor ATF3. The aim of the study w

Conditionally replicative adenovirus (CRAD) represents a promising approach for cancer therapy. Several CRADs controlled by the human telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter have been developed. However, because of their replicative capacity, the importance of cancer specificity for CRADs needs to be further emphasized. In this study, we have developed a novel dual-regulated CRAD, CNHK500-mE, wh

Context: Dopamine agonists are the treatment of choice for prolactinomas and symptomatic idiopathic hyperprolactinemia. However, the optimal treatment strategy and treatment duration is not clear in all details. Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of dopamine agonist withdrawal in patients with idiopathic hyperprolactinemia and prolactinomas. Data Sources: PubMed, the Cochrane

Ultrashort laser pulses are finding increasing applications in biology and medicine. Such pulses can be used directly or after non-linear modification. Direct utilization includes propagation studies in scattering media with applications in optical mammography, dosimetry for photodynamic therapy and species concentration assessment. Intense continua of electromagnetic radiation of very brief durat

We compute the Cramér–Rao lower bounds for determination of isotropic permittivity and permeability in slabs using reflection and transmission data. The results apply to three common measurement situations: free space, rectangular waveguides, and coaxial waveguides. The bounds depend only on the available data and not on the actual inversion method used, making them suitable to evaluate a particul
