Evaluation of other cultures is a strong force in a culture's definition of itself. Cultures are formed in encounters that include domination, conflict, and dismissal as much as appreciation and smooth exchange. In this paper, the construction of cultural identity is discussed, with reference to a Scandinavian Theme Park proposal made in cooperation between American design consultants and a local

Density-gradient centrifugation of bovine tracheal epithelial cell extracts revealed a 'high-density' (1.48 g/ml) sialic-acid-rich population as well as a 'low-density' (1.42 g/ml) one that reacted more strongly with a periodate-Schiff (PAS) assay. The sialic-acid-rich mucins were oligomeric molecules containing disulphide-bond-linked subunits and large glycosylated domains, whereas the PAS-reacti

Excitatory amino acids are implicated in the development of neuronal cell damage following periods of reversible cerebral ischemia or insulin-induced hypoglycemic coma. To explore the importance of glutamate receptor activation in the posthypoglycemic phase, we exposed rats to 20 min of insulin-induced severe hypoglycemia. The rats were treated immediately after the hypoglycemic insult with four r

The effect of different glutamate‐receptor antagonists on the induction of cortical spreading depression of Leao and of cortical anoxic membrane depolarization were investigated in the anaesthetized rat. Spreading depression (SD), elicited by mechanical stimulation of the cortical surface, was inhibited by the non‐competitive N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate (NMDA)‐receptor blocker, (±)‐5‐methyl‐10,11‐dihydro

Inhibition of mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) has emerged as a promising approach for neuroprotection and development of well-tolerated mPT inhibitors with favorable blood-brain barrier penetration is highly warranted. In a recent study, 28 clinically available drugs with a common heterocyclic structure were identified as mPT inhibitors e.g. trifluoperazine, promethazine and nortriptyl

Recently several distinct literatures have thematically converged around the topic of non-European state-making: political scientists – both comparativists and international relations scholars, historical sociologists, comparative and world historians, anthropologists, archaeologists and others, have begun to interest themselves in state making or state formation in non-European settings, and also

Context: It is an enigma that agile projects can succeed ‘without requirements’ when weak requirements engineering is a known cause for project failures. While agile development projects often manage well without extensive requirements test cases are commonly viewed as requirements and detailed requirements are documented as test cases.Objective: We have investigated this agile practice of using t

The shell structure of atomic nuclei far from the line of beta-stability and the properties of the nucleon-nucleon interaction in exotic isotopes are not well known. The development of radioactive ion beams (RIBs) puts certain unexplored regions of the nuclear chart within reach of detailed experimental investigations. The low-energy nuclear structure of the unstable isotopes 106,108,110Sn, 100,1

The main aim of this thesis is to analyze the process of institutionalization and neo-/interdisciplinarization in Women’s/Gender/Feminist Studies (WGFS) in Sweden, and the construction of feminist knowledge within this process. Furthermore, the thesis aims to contribute to the feminist debates on academic feminism as a transformative project. Three questions have guided the research process: 1) Ho

The frame story
takes place in a dystopian Europe, possibly some kind of European Union around 2050 – in a state of conflicts and decay. The protagonists are a retired general, Piscator (cf. Fisher King) and a former journalist, Perle Vaus (cf. Perlesvaus/Perceval/Parsifal). She lost her home because of a new genderrelated law and stays homeless with others, covered by the Saxon bridge.

Annual recurrent blooms of the toxic dinoflagellates Alexandrium catenella and Alexandrium minutum were detected from 2000 to 2003 in harbours along the Catalan coast. The interrelation study between the occurrence of the blooms and specific external conditions at the study sites demonstrated that different factors are required for the bloom of each Alexandrium species. Concentrations higher than

Astatine isotopes can be produced in liquid lead-bismuth eutectic targets through proton-induced double charge exchange reactions on bismuth or in secondary helium-induced interactions. Models implemented into the most common high-energy transport codes generally have difficulties to correctly estimate their production yields as was shown recently by the ISOLDE Collaboration, which measured releas

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte var att utveckla en checklista för bedömning av utemiljön i flerfamiljs bostadsområden. Fem experter inom arkitektur, landskapsarkitektur och stadsplanering medverkade i den första utvärderingen som omfattade sex bostadsområden i Lund. Utfallet validerades genom jämförelse med de boendes egna värderingar. Denna omfattade mer än 400 personer och analy

The objective of this dissertation is to analyse and discuss the issue of self-organisation from a spatial point of view. The thesis takes its point of departure firstly from the assumption that self-organisation concerns a process through which subjects aspire to become involved in societal development and decision-making from below, and secondly that self-organisation always takes place in a soc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Nuklearmedicin bygger på användning av radioaktiva spårämnen, enligt principen av George de Hevesy, för kartläggning av global och regional funktion hos organ eller patologisk vävnad. Nuklearmedicin inkluderar även användningen av ”Magic bullet”-konceptet enligt Ehrlich där en molekyl används som bärare av radionuklider för att få en radiobiologisk terepeutisk effekt på

Since January 2006, robotic assistance has been used for performing minimal invasive laparoscopic fundoplications in children. These patients were compared with those operated on with either the open surgical technique or the laparoscopic procedure. The first six children operated on with a fundoplication using the operation robot, da Vinci (R) Surgical System from Intuitive Surgical (R), were inc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det religiösa landskapet i Europa genomsyras av rituell kreativitet - inom teater, psykoterapi och religiösa samfund laborerar individer och grupper med rituella former under mer eller mindre obundna förutsättningar. En stor del av det rituella nyskapandet återfinns emellertid utanför de etablerade religiösa institutionerna och traditionens ortopraxi. Här ses ritualer oRitual creativity may seem like a contradiction in terms, yet the religious landscape in contemporary Euro-America is permeate with experimentation of ritual forms, different modalities of action, imagination and play as routes to authenticity. The present study examines different settings in Europe involved in such ritual creativity, which would commonly be classified as postmodern spirituality,
