Human consciousness serves many roles. It helps us imagine, dream, and think rationally. One capacity that human consciousness enables is cooperation. Here, we will focus on the interplay between cooperation and how subjects understand the minds of others. The aim is to compare and elucidate the similarities and differences between humans and apes as concerns cooperative behaviour. One difference

When a resting cell is awakened to enter the cell cycle by mitogenic stimulation, a complex molecular machinery involving positive and negative regulation of cell-cycle progression is initiated. Part of the machinery is quite well-known. It involves receptors of various kinds, protein interactions, phosphorylation reactions, and molecular cascades carrying the signal to enter the cell cycle from t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Forskningspolitiken har i allt högre utsträckning kommit att kopplas till närings- och innovationspolitiken. Ett exempel är den strategiska forskningspolitik som växte fram i början av 1990-talet, där ett antal forskningsstiftelser med nya mål och modeller för finansiering tillkom. I denna studie diskuteras implikationerna av dessa förvaltnings- och forskningspolitiska Research policy is increasingly linked to social needs and to some extent integrated with industrial and innovation policy. The strategic research policy that emerged in Sweden in the early 1990's resulted in the establishment of a new kind of research funding both in form and direction: strategic research foundations. The purpose of one of these foundations, the Knowledge Foundation (Stiftelsen f

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är uppbyggd kring fyra artiklar som berör reglering av gener i B-celler. B-cellerna är en viktig del av vårt immunförsvar, de sköter produktionen av antikroppar som hjälper till att skydda våra slemhinnor och vårt inre från sjukdomsframkallande bakterier och virus. Kroppens försvar mot sådana patogener består av flera delar, inklusive vår hud och våra sEach Ig V-region has its own upstream promoter and the promoter of a mature Ig gene is thereby selected during the V(D)J recombination process. Upon comparison, it is evident that only one transcription factor binding site, the octamer, is preserved within all promoters. The octamer motif and the binding Oct-proteins are crucial for Ig promoter function, but not sufficient for a high level of tran

En preliminär rapportering från ett pågående projekt om den svenska turistbroschyrgenrens utveckling. I uppsatsen redovisas rön med avseende på förpackningsform, textupplägg och syntax.

1. Researchers are currently placing hundreds of geolocators on migratory animals. Return rates for some small birds carrying these devices have been lower than expected, potentially because geo- locators increase drag during flight. 2. We measured the drag of three different geolocators (1 2g BAS-MK10, 1 0 g SOI-GL10 09 and 0 5 g SOI-GL05 10) in backpack-style harnesses on two preserved bird bodi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vårtor (skivepitelpapillom) i hud eller slemhinna orsakas av papillomvirus. Kunskapen om detta virus var länge ganska liten eftersom det inte går att odla i cellkulturer, men med molekylärbiologins framsteg har förståelsen ökats. Varje djurart har sina egna papillomvirus och genom att jämföra nukleinsyrasekvenserna i DNA-kedjan hos olika virusisolat har man identifieratThe occurrence of genital human papillomavirus infection was determined in different categories of patients by means of PCR. In high proportion of young women attending an adolescent clinic, the presence of HPV DNA was demonstrated in simultaneously urethral and cervical samples, suggesting that genital HPV infections are often multifocal. Multiple HPV types were demonstrated in about half of the

Landscape is fundamental to human experience. Yet until recently, the study of landscape has been fragmented among the disciplines. This volume focuses on how landscape is represented in language and thought, and what this reveals about the relationships of people to place and to land. Scientists of various disciplines such as anthropologists, geographers, information scientists, linguists, and ph
