Rational politics requires the ability to predict the future and to evaluate the possible effects of political decisions. The article evaluates various attempts to establish functional arguments for maximal linguistic differentiation and demonstrates the difficulties with such arguments. If there are no objective arguments, we have to rely on feelings, which leaves us with a politics based on powe
Radiative lifetime measurements have been performed, with a time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence technique, for 18 even-parity levels of Pr I and 15 odd-parity levels of Nd I. The new results are compared with the few experimental data available in the literature and good agreement is found. However, fragmentary knowledge of the spectra prevents reliable calculation of branching fractions and
Background. Skin grafting may be necessary to close nonhealing skin wounds. This report describes a fast and minimally invasive method to produce minced skin suitable for transplantation to skin wounds. The technique was evaluated in an established porcine skin wound healing model and was compared to split-thickness skin grafts and suspensions of cultured and noncultured keratinocytes. Materials a
We have made in-situ investigations of ultrathin films of Fe grown on a Ag(100) single crystal. This system is known to exhibit a reorientation of the magnetization, dependent on both Fe thickness and temperature. X-ray absorption fine structure has been recorded for samples prepared in-situ, both in the near edge and in the extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) region. Using x-ray magn
For a bounded open set $U$ in the complex plane, we consider the Bergman space $L^p_a(U)$ of $p$th-power area-integrable analytic functions on $U$, with $p$ assumed to be in the range $1\le p<+\infty$, where the lower bound assures that $L^p_a(U)$ is a Banach space. Fix a bounded domain $G$ and a compact subset $K$ of $G$ with zero area measure. Let $M$ be a closed subspace of $L^p_a(G\sbs K)$. We
Max Weber’s model of charismatic authority, which was influenced by Rudolph Sohm’s interpretation of the earliest church as a ”charismatic organization”, has been more used by exegetes since 1968 as a help in interpreting Jesus. They have emphasized different aspects of his charisma — radical life-style and revolutionary message, or miraculous powers of healing, or conflict and self-stigmatization
Human embryonic skin fibroblasts were pretreated with transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) for 6 h and then labeled with [35S]sulphate and [3H]leucine for 24 h. Radiolabeled proteoglycans from the culture medium and the cell layer were isolated and separated by isopycnic density-gradient centrifugation, followed by gel, ion-exchange and hydrophobic-interaction chromatography. The major prote
The development of multicellular organisms is associated with extensive rearrangements of cells and tissues. The driving force for these rearrangements is generated by the cell's actin cytoskeleton. During many morphogenetic processes dynamic rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton is regulated by small GTPases of the Rho-family. These GTPases are highly conserved throughout the animal kingdom and
The importance ascribed to knowledge externalities for understanding the spatial organization of industries (i.e. clustering) is increasingly being exposed to critical theoretical and empirical scrutiny. This research has not yet spilled over into studies of creative industries. This paper is concerned with reducing this omission by making an empirically based assessment of the importance of respe
Background and aim: Malnutrition in nursing home residents is an important clinical and public health problem. Knowledge is lacking about the reproducibility of dietary recording in geriatric patients. Few studies have described water intake in this age group. The aim of this study was to test the reproducibility of a 7-day dietary record routine in a clinical setting. Methods: The dietary intake
Aim: To investigate the anatomical and functional results and the complications in eyes operated on using vitrectomy without scleral buckling for all forms of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment ( RRD). Methods: All cases of primary RRD at the University Hospital of Lund, Lund, Sweden, treated by one surgeon during a period of 3 years were retrospectively reviewed. In 131 ( 98%) of 134 consecutive c
Background. In a search for immunosuppressive drugs having novel mechanisms, monocarboxylate transporter (MCT-1) inhibitors were identified that markedly inhibited immune responses. Here, we report the effects of AR-C117977, a potent MCT-1 inhibitor, on alloimmune responses in the rat. Methods. In vitro activity was determined in a rat mixed lymphocyte response (MLR). In vivo activity was tested i
The aim of this study was to assess the agreement between observers analyzing activity patterns during truck engine assembly work based on video recordings. Two observers observed the recordings of nine workers, on the average 2.2 h long, assigning activities to four activity categories. For each activity category data were obtained on the mean duration of uninterrupted sequences of activities and
Popular Abstract in Swedish Begreppet social rörlese är ett centralt sociologiskt begrepp. Trots det finns det en rad olika sätt att definiera detta begrepp. Avhandlingen söker svara på frågan vad begreppet social rörelse "betyder". För att svara på den frågan utgår författaren från en arbetsdefinition och en rad dimensioner av begreppet. Via en läsning av begreppets teoretiska utveckling söker föThis thesis develops the concept formation of 'social movement'. The author stresses the importance of the inherent classical understanding of the concept as defining a collective actor involved in a struggle regarding main social and cultural trends in society. The concept of social movement is treated as having been an unclear concept. The author therefore formulates a working definition that al
