Föreläsningen ägnas den hos romantiska och modernistiska författare omhuldade föreställningen att dikten – och i vidare mening konsten, estetiken – utgör en särskild realitet och ett autonomt värdesystem som är annorledes än, jämförbart med, och i konflikt med ekonomins värdesystem. Grunden för denna tradition av romantisk ekonomikritik, och den därmed förknippade s.k. dubbla värdediskursens inter

We studied the possible involvement of ten candidate genes in autism: proenkephalin, prodynorphin, and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 2 (opioid metabolism); tyrosine hydroxylase, dopamine receptors D2 and D5, monoamine oxidases A and B (monoaminergic system); brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and neural cell adhesion molecule (involved in neurodevelopment). Thirty-eight families with

Sweden is one of the countries which does not have a Public Accounts Committee. Since the Swedish National Audit Office was formed in 2003, two non-PAC models for the channelling of audits to Parliament have been tested. This chapter discusses the Swedish experience from these. It suggests that one reason why Sweden has avoided forming a PAC is the wish to preserve a political culture focused on c

The effects of self-consistency in the GW-approximation are studied. The $GWA$ is known to describe the electronic properties of a wide range of materials very well. However, the calculations made so far have not taken into account the issue of self-consistency, which is implied in the original formulation of the $GWA$. The role of self-consistency is investigated by calculating the electronic sel

This study explores the textual world of Hosea 4-14. To this end it uses a melhod informed by modern metaphor theory. At the outset, the hypothesis that chapters 4-14 in the book of Hosea constitute a coherent literary composition is submitted. The perspectival theory advanced by Eva F. Kittay is selected as a theoretical basis for the analysis. This theory is iupplemented by mslghts derived from

Irregular QC LDPC codes with parity-check matrices having different degree distributions are studied. A new algorithm for finding regular and irregular QC LDPC codes with a good girth profile as well as a good sliding-window girth is presented. As examples, simulation results for QC LDPC codes with good girth profile, rate R=4/5, and lengths about 1000, 2000, and 4000, constructed from base matric

The “Solidarity period” from August 1980 to December 1981 today stands out as the early beginning of the transition to democracy in Eastern Europe. Maybe the proper name for it, when seen in retrospect, should be “the grand rehearsal”. It started with the sit-in strike at the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk in 1980. In retrospect it is obvious that the Solidarity movement not only pre-figured the democra

We analyze a class of LDPC convolutional codes that are constructed from tightly braided convolutional base codes by a lifting procedure. For these braided protograph convolutional codes, we show that the distances grow linearly with the constraint length, and we present lower bounds on their asymptotic segment distance and free distance as well as on the asymptotic minimum distance of their tail-

In this paper, we investigate the social herding phenomenon known as informational cascades, in which sequential inter-agent communication might lead to epistemic failures at group level, despite availability of information that should be sufficient to track the truth. We model an example of a cascade, and check the correctness of the individual reasoning of each agent involved, using two alternat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Med dagens medicinska teknik måste mottagare av transplanterade organ ta immundämpande läkemedel varje dag för att undvika att transplantatet avstöts. Dessa patienter får ett generellt nedsatt immunförsvar vilket betyder att de blir mottagliga för infektionssjukdomar, samt har en ökad risk för att utveckla tumörer. När det gäller transplantation av vävnader från andra aInhibition of the costimulatory molecules B7 and CD40L with CTLA4Ig and anti-CD40L administered only during the first week after transplantation induces indefinite survival of allo- and xenogeneic heart transplants and significantly prolongs skin grafts in C3H mice. However, this treatment protocol is not as effective in C57BL/6 mice which reject skin transplants with nearly the same median surviv

Popular Abstract in Swedish För människor med centrala skotom är den excentriska synen den enda som finns att tillgå. Också för den som lär sig att använda sin excentriska syn är denna sämre än den centrala synen, och det av två helt olika skäl: att ögonoptiken kan ge stora avbildningsfel excentriskt respektive att näthinnan utanför makula har en lägre funktion. Denna avhandling handlar om den föFor people with central visual field loss, eccentric vision is all that they have to rely on. Even for those who learn how to correctly utilize their eccentric vision, it will never be as good as the central for two entirely different reasons: the off-axis optics of the eye can result in large refractive errors, and the low function of the peripheral retina. This thesis deals with the first of the
