There is a long critical literature about popular television's role in the public sphere of modern society, underscoring its many shortcomings. While not negating these problems, this chapter suggests that TV (and popular culture) offer opportunities for audiences to air, process, and make political sense of changing cultural horizons, norms, and values.

The purpose of the article is to identify and look into the function of a number of means of legal international cooperation in administrative law. In this discussion on function, the roles and the interplay of the different tools are highlighted as striking a balance between international cooperation, national self-determination and individual rights. Within this theoretical framework, two main t

Fe 0 fluorescence by PAR has been investigated in eight symbiotic starshaving a wide range in temperature of the hot component and orbitalperiod. The data used are spectra obtained from the IUE archive. Allpumping lines investigated in this work are in the short wavelengthregion of IUE (1200-2000 Å), except for He 0 λ 1084.942 andO 0 λ 1032.041. The resulting Fe 0 fluorescence lines are mainlyin t

We describe a state recovery attack on the X-FCSR-256 stream cipher of total complexity at most $2^{57.6}$. This complexity is achievable by requiring $2^{49.3}$ output blocks with an amortized calculation effort of at most $2^{8.3}$ table lookups per output block using no more than $2^{33}$ table entries of precomputational storage.

This paper discusses some cultural considerations that we stand before in developing and exploiting an agent based educational software for use by Swedish and American students, age 11-14. The reported cultural challenges arise in software develop¬ment, study designs, and decisions on actual pedagogical use in the two cultural settings.

I denna artikel behandlas konstruktionen av prästerlig manlighet bland katolska församlingspräster i Norden i slutet av 1800-talet och under 1900-talets första årtionden. Flera av dessa präster var nordiska konvertiter. Detta innebar att de inkulturerats i en protestantisk kulturmiljö, vilken de sedan lämnat till förmån för den katolska gemenskapen. Det prästmannaideal som präglade det samhälle de

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos västerländska kvinnor. I Sverige kommer var tionde kvinna att drabbas av bröstcancer, vilket motsvarar drygt 5000 kvinnor om året. Dödligheten i bröstcancer är 30%. Detta innebär att en tredjedel av de som drabbas kommer att dö av sin sjukdom. Det är dock inte själva tumören i bröstet som dödar eftersom denna i princip alltBreast cancer is one of the most common cancer forms in the industrialized world. Only in Sweden, nearly 6000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year and 1/3 of them eventually succumb to the disease. Wnts are a family of genes that have been implicated in many human tumours, so far mainly studied in colorectal cancer where activated Wnt signalling occurs in a vast majority of tumours. Wh
