A novel gene family encoding proteins with highly differing structure because of a rapidly evolving exon

Despite vast differences in primary structure, it is here shown that several predominant semen proteins are encoded by genes that belongs to a common family. Members have their transcription unit split into three exons: the first encoding the signal peptide, the second the secreted protein, while the third exon solely consists of 3' non-translated nucleotides. The first and the third exon are cons

The social shaping of television in old age

Various studies have highlighted older persons' problems in potentially failing to keep pace with developments in information technology and the latest technologies that prevent physical and social loss. In contrast to such studies that treat users as static and technology as changing, it's important to understand the use of technology can change over time. For example, older persons have used tec

Products, activities and competence - an integrated view in association with customization

Within the academic debate attempts have been made at combining the resource based view and the activities based view (C.f. Mathews, 2006). Among the calls for such attempts we find Haanes and Fjeldstad (2000) who point out that there is a need for integrating the activity based view and the resource based view, with a particular focus on competences. The view of activities as associated with comp

Mortality and tumour morbidity among Swedish market gardeners and orchardists

In order to investigate possible effects of exposure to pesticides, mainly fungicides and insecticides, we studied a cohort of 2370 subjects, who, during the period 1965-1982, had been members of a horticulturists' trade association (market gardeners and orchardists). Compared to a regional reference population, total mortality ( 542 deaths; standardized mortality morbidity ratio, SMR = 0.8 ; 95 %
