Inledning: Riternas förändring i det moderna Sverige

Riternas förändring i det moderna Sverige inleder ett temanummer i Svensk Teologisk Kvartalskrift där olika forskare vill diskutera hur olika religiösa traditioner genomgår rituell förändring på grund av migration, sekularisering och modernitet i dagens Sverige.

An intermediate luminosity transient in NGC 300: The eruption of a dust-enshrouded massive star

We present multi-epoch high-resolution optical spectroscopy, UV/radio/X-ray imaging, and archival Hubble and Spitzer observations of an intermediate luminosity optical transient recently discovered in the nearby galaxy NGC 300. We find that the transient (NGC 300 OT2008-1) has a peak absolute magnitude of M-bol approximate to -11.8 mag, intermediate between novae and supernovae, and similar to the

Att leva och sälja sin dröm - livsstilsföretagaren mellan familjeliv, marknad och politisk retorik

The article focuses on lifestyle entrepreneurship, characterised by a balancing work between personal lifestyle motives and economic motives. It builds on a qualitative study of business owners who have realized a life dream of starting a countryside business in the tourism and hospitality industry in Sweden. Through the notion of "balancing work", the analysis focuses on the tension between a per

Calculation of antenna radiation center using angular momentum

An algorithm to compute the radiation center of an antenna, using the Spherical wave expansion (SWE) of the far field or the far field directly, is introduced. The method is based on the angular momentum that is uniquely defined for any antenna far field pattern. The radiation center is defined as the phase reference point where the angular momentum is minimized and corresponds to minimizing the p

Computational analysis and verifications of characteristic modes in real materials

Despite its long history, the Theory of Characteristic Modes has only been utilized in antenna design for perfect electric conductors. This is due to computational problems associated with dielectrics and magnetic materials. In particular, the symmetric form of the PMCHWT surface formulation for the Method of Moments (MoM) solves for both external (real) and internal (non-real) resonances of a str

Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphisms and Breast Cancer Risk: Results from the National Cancer Institute Breast and Prostate Cancer Cohort Consortium

Background: Vitamin D is hypothesized to lower the risk of breast cancer by inhibiting cell proliferation via the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR). Two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the VDR gene (VDR), rs154441.0 (BsmI), and rs2228570 (FokI), have been inconsistently associated with breast cancer risk. Increased risk has been reported for the FokIff genotype, which encodes a less

Interpretation of response categories in patient-reported rating scales: a controlled study among people with Parkinson's disease

Background: Unambiguous interpretation of ordered rating scale response categories requires distinct meanings of category labels. Also, summation of item responses into total scores assumes equal intervals between categories. While studies have identified problems with rating scale response category functioning there is a paucity of empirical studies regarding how respondents interpret response ca

Reactions of the sigma,pi-furyl complex [Fe-2(CO)(6)(mu-Fu)(mu-PFu(2))] (Fu = C4H3O) with phosphines: Carbonyl substitution, migratory carbonyl insertion and cyclometallation-induced furan elimination

The reactivity of the sigma,pi-furyl complex [Fe-2(CO)(6)(mu-Fu)(mu-PFu(2))] (1) towards PPh3 and a range of bidentate phosphines has been studied and a number of different reaction products have been identified. With PPh3, carbonyl substitution affords [Fe-2(CO)(5)(PPh3)(mu-Fu)(mu-PFu(2))] (2) in which the new phosphine is coordinated to the iron center that is sigma-coordinated by the bridging f

Water Use Efficiency of Four Dryland Wheat Cultivars under Different Levels of Nitrogen Fertilization

It is suggested that cultivars of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) with regulated growth and development would be able to produce higher yields under water-limited conditions, which is crucial in future food production. Water use efficiency (WUE) is worthy of exploration in this regard. In this study, the effects of nitrogen fertilizer levels (0, 40 and 80 kg Nha(-1)) and a plant growth retardant (Chl

The use of endoanchors in repair EVAR cases to improve proximal endograft fixation

Aim. The aim of this paper was to evaluate short-term outcome of the use of endoanchors to secure the primary migrated endograft and additional extender cuffs to the aortic wall in patients with previous failed endovascular aortic aneurysm repair. Methods. Consecutive patients who needed proximal repair of a primary failed endograft due to migration (with or without type IA endoleaks) were treated

Search for the Standard Model Higgs boson decay to mu(+)mu(-) with the ATLAS detector

A search is reported for Higgs boson decay to mu(+)mu(-) using data with an integrated luminosity of 24.8 fb(-1) collected with the ATLAS detector in pp collisions at root s = 7 and 8 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The observed dimuon invariant mass distribution is consistent with the Standard Model background-only hypothesis in the 120-150 GeV search range. For a Higgs boson with a mass o

Knowledge about hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer; mutation carriers and physicians at equal levels

Background: Identification and adequate management of individuals at risk for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is crucial since surveillance programmes reduce morbidity and mortality. We investigated knowledge about key features of HNPCC in at risk individuals and physicians in surgery, gynecology and oncology. Methods: Data were collected using a questionnaire which was answered

APOLIPOPROTEIN M

Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is composed of 188 amino acids and has an apparent molecular weight of 25 kDa. ApoM belongs to the lipocalin protein superfamily, and is found in all major lipoprotein classes, although the majority of apoM is found in high density lipoprotein, HDL. In apoM, the signal peptide is retained in the mature protein. ApoM with a cleavable signal peptide was constructed. In contra

The Most Delicate Subject : A History of Sex Education Films in Sweden

The aim of this dissertation is to present a history of sex education films in Sweden, from their beginnings until the late 1970s, relating the films to the changing historical context of the Swedish welfare society. Within this framework, the dissertation explores two main sets of questions. First, utilizing a contextual understanding of genre, the dissertation analyzes how the films were produce

Om distinktioner mellan klassisk och modern retorik

The article has become a classic in american rhetorical scholarship. It criticizes four major misconceptions about classical rhetoric often found in contemporary rhetorical scholarship. The misconceptions are traced to an incomplete and faulty understanding of Aristotle's rhetoric.
