Feminist Activist Performance in Sweden
In the 2000s, Sweden has experienced a veritable explosion of feminist performing arts. Although feminist actions, theatre, shows and performance existed previously, feminist events with a distinct political and activist approach have emerged strongly in the current decade. Feminist culture festivals are held in rapid succession, and feminist performance, dance and theatre occasionally attract bro

Narratives on Welfare from Its Margins. ‘Clandestine’ Asylum Seekers’ Everyday Experiences in Sweden.
How do ’clandestine’ asylum seekers experience the Swedish welfare state? How are they located in relation to welfare institutions, civil society, notions of nationhood and gender regimes? My research project is based on an ethnographic study with ‘clandestine’ asylum seekers (rejected asylum seekers who stay in the country and ‘hide’ from police and authorities to avoid deportation) and asylum r
Developmental Magic? Two Takes on a Dialogue Conference
This paper draws on the metaphor of ‘magic’ to explore the role of dialogue conferences and subsequent activities as a tool for organizational development and change. It is argued that the magic metaphor is a useful means for critically assessing the role of dialogue conferences in developmental processes, as magic is essentially double-edged in nature. On the one hand, magic is an activity wherei
A VLSI implementation of logarithmic and exponential functions using a novel parabolic synthesis methodology compared to the CORDIC algorithm
High performance implementations of unary functions are important in many applications e.g. in the wireless communication area. This paper shows the development and VLSI implementation of unary functions like the logarithmic and exponential function, by using a novel approximation methodology based on parabolic synthesis, which is compared to the well known CORDIC algorithm. Both designs are synth

The complex between activated protein C and protein C inhibitor: A clinically useful indicator of aortic aneurysms?
Acute retinal ischemia caused by controlled low ocular perfusion pressure in a porcine model. Electrophysiological and histological characterisation
The purpose of this study was to establish, and characterize a porcine model of acute, controlled retinal ischemia. The controlled retinal ischemia was produced by clamping the ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) in the left eye to 5 mm Hg for 2 h. The OPP was defined as mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) minus the intraocular pressure (IOP). It was clamped to 0-30 mm Hg by continuous monitoring of MA
Critical role of the major histocompatibility complex and IL-10 in matrilin-1-induced relapsing polychondritis in mice
Relapsing polychondritis ( RP) is an autoimmune disease that affects extra-articular cartilage. Matrilin-1-induced relapsing polychondritis (MIRP) is a model for RP and is useful for studies of the pathogenic mechanisms in this disease. There are indications that the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II plays a major role in RP, since DR4(+) patients are more commonly affected than cont
Budesonide/formoterol effects on metalloproteolytic balance in TGF beta-activated human lung fibroblasts
In the airways of asthmatic patients, activated fibroblasts account for an excessive matrix production including proteoglycans (PGs). Transforming growth factor-beta. (TGF beta), metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) play key rotes in matrix turnover. It is unclear whether asthma therapy with combination of inhaled glucocorticoids and long-acting beta(2)-agonists affects me
Systematic clinical supervision and its effects for nurses handling demanding care situations. Interviews with Swedish district nurses and hospital nurses in cancer care.
This study reports the findings of how district nurses (n = 23) and hospital nurses (n = 9) in cancer care experienced social support in immediate connection with demanding care situations, as well as the effect of systematic clinical supervision. The study is based on their own accounts. The data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that there is a great ne
Single gold-nanoparticle-enhanced Raman scattering of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes via atomic force microscope manipulation
Investigating the electric field distribution around individual metallic nanoparticles is of significant importance for the understanding of the electromagnetic (EM) mechanism of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). We report single gold-nanoparticle-enhanced Raman scattering of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by atomic force microscope (AFM) manipulation. The distance betwe

Foraging behaviour and capture success in perch, pikeperch and pike and the effects of prey density
The effect of school size on capture success in three different piscivores, perch Perca fluviatilis, pikeperch Stizostedion lucioperca and pike Esox lucius, was investigated. Roach Rutilus rutilus were used as prey in a pool experiment where individual predators were presented prey at densities of one, two, four, eight and 16 prey, respectively. Treatments were replicated seven times for each pred
Identifying M supergiants with Gaia
As a group of stars having high luminosity and thus being able to be detected to great distances, massive M supergiants are extremely helpful to the study of the kinematics of the Milky Way. They are also partly responsible for the creation of post iron-group elements through the weak s-process of nucleosynthesis. As there are relatively few classified M supergiants, owing to their rapid pace of e
