Subjective emotions, political implications: Thinking through tensions and contradictions in feminist knowledge production

Based on an ongoing research project in which we explore practices, strategies andvisions within feminist activism in a Swedish context, this paper emerges from experiencesduring fieldwork with feminist activist groups. Focusing on tensions and contradictionsencountered during fieldwork, this article problematizes the social and emotional dimen-sions of research. Through a discussion of our intera

Measurement properties of the Arnetz and Hasson stress questionnaire in Swedish university freshmen.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the measurement properties of the Arnetz and Hasson seven-item stress questionnaire in order to select high-risk freshmen for a stress and alcohol intervention research project. METHODS: Two complete cohorts of university freshmen at two universities were asked to participate in an intervention study. All subjects responded to seven Visual Analogue

Psychosocial work conditions, unemployment and health locus of control: A population-based study.

AIMS: To investigate the association between psychosocial work conditions, unemployment and lack of belief in the possibility of influencing one's own health. Design/setting/participants/measurements: The 2000 public health survey in Scania is a cross-sectional postal questionnaire study with a 59% participation rate. In total, 5180 persons aged 18-64 years who belonged to the workforce and the un

A spectral analysis is made of a Schrodinger operator with zero-range potential of a one- or two-dimensional lattice in the resonances of an isolated atom and the spectral properties of the crystal is established

Sustainability of exercise-induced increases in bone density and skeletal structure.

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of osteoporosis with related fragility fractures has increased during the last decades. As physical activity influences the skeleton in a beneficial way, exercise may hypothetically be used as a prophylactic tool against osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE: This review evaluates if exercise-induced skeletal benefits achieved during growth remain in a long-term perspective. DESIGN: P

Treatment of acute pancreatitis: focus on medical care.

Acute pancreatitis has an incidence of about 300 per 1 million individuals per year, of which 10-15% of patients develop the severe form of the disease. Novel management options, which have the potential to improve outcome, include initial proper fluid resuscitation, which maintains microcirculation and thereby potentially decreases ischaemia and reperfusion injury. The traditional treatment conce

Involvement of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase in stem-cell-factor-induced phospholipase D activation and arachidonic acid release

We have shown previously that the stem cell factor (SCF) receptor undergoes phosphorylation on serine residues following ligand stimulation, and that this phopshorylation is dependent mainly on the activity of protein kinase C (PKC). In the present study, we have further investigated the molecular mechanisms behind SCF-stimulated activation of PKC, and found that SCF does not activate phosphatidyl

Molecular basis for the dominant white phenotype in the domestic pig

The change of phenotypic traits in domestic animals and crops as a response to selective breeding mimics the much slower evolutionary change in natural populations. Here, we describe that the dominant white phenotype in domestic pigs is caused by two mutations in the KIT gene encoding the mast/stem cell growth factor receptor (MGF), one gene duplication associated with a partially dominant phenoty

PIXE in 1980: Summary of the Second International Conference on Particle Induced X-Ray Emission and its Analytical Applications

The Second International Conference on Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and its analytical applications was held in Lund, Sweden, June 9-12, 1980. About a hundred papers were presented, including seven invited talks (PIXE and particle scattering, microbeam analysis (2), applications to aerosols (2) and biological samples (2)). The main impression left by the conference was that both the PIXE

Iliopsoasabscess-svår att misstänka, lätt att diagnostisera.

A 21 year old man suffering from ileocecal Crohn's disease since 4 years was admitted with history of progressive, right sided hip and leg pain for 6 months. Extensive, retroperitoneal abscesses, extending into the gluteal and paravertebral muscles were visualized. The patient was treated by intravenous antibiotics and percutaneous drainage. Later, ileocecal resection was performed. Most likely, t

Canopy storage capacity of xerophytic shrubs in northwestern China

Abstract in UndeterminedThe capacity of shrub canopy water storage is a key factor in controlling the rainfall interception. Thus, it affects a variety of hydrological processes in water-limited arid desert ecosystems. Vast areas of revegetated desert ecosystems in Northwestern China are occupied by shrub and dwarf shrub communities. Yet, data are still scarce regarding their rainwater storage cap

Immaterialrätt i Kina (del II): Licensiering av rättigheter

Den kinesiska utrikeshandelslagstiftningen genomgår en snabb omvandling. I två på varandra följande artiklar analyseras Kinas immaterialrättsliga regelverk. I den första artikeln behandlas de nyligen antagna varumärkes- och patentlagarna med kortare utvikningar om anställda uppfinnare och upphovsrättsliga regler. Denna andra artikel behandlar hur reglerna omsätts i praktiskt licenssamarbete och de
