Bidraget behandlar ungdomsmusikrörelsen i Tyskland under 1920- och 30-talen, och hur denna förhöll sig till begreppet kris. Krisen är av utommusikalisk karaktär; det rör sig om ”ungdomens, kulturens, världsåskådningens och samhällets kris”, inte primärt om musiken i sig. Med idéer hämtade från 1800-talet, som folktanken, lades grunden till musikaliska reformer som gav avtryck i musik- och sångunde

The thermal insulation of clothing is commonly determined by dry thermal manikins either made of plastic or metal. For the determination of evaporative resistance of clothing ensemble, there exist three types of manikin methods: pre-wetted underwear or “skin” covered on dry manikins, the manikin with regulated constant water supply to the “skin” surface and the sweating fabric manikin based on a w

Popular Abstract in Swedish Målsättningen med denna studien var att undersöka följderna på lång sikt av bakflöde av urin från blåsa till urinledare (reflux) och av njurärr hos vuxna med hänsyn till: uppkomst av nya njurärr, urinvägsinfektioner, ländsmärta, nedsatt njurfunktion, högt blodtryck, och om utbredningen av njurärr kan förutsäga den framtida utvecklingen av blodtryck och njurfunktion. EttThe aim was to study the long-term consequencies of vesicoureteral reflux and reflux nephropathy (RN) in adults, with regard to radiological progression, urinary tract infections, renal functional impairment, hypertension, and to determine if the extent of renal damage can predict the outcome. Attempts to differentiate between acquired and developmental renal damage were also made. 115 patients wi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Monoaminer Adrenalin, noradrenalin, dopamine, serotonin och histamin är samtliga monoaminer som fungerar som signalsubstanser och hormoner. Monoaminer är viktiga i många fysiologiska processer och obalans i deras nivåer ger ett brett spektrum av störningar. De klassiska är: serotoninbrist som ger depression, ångest och sömnstörningar, dopaminbrist ger motoriska störninThe present study explored the gene and protein expression of the monoamine transporters in human endometrium throughout the menstrual cycle, in early decidua and in placentas from normal as well as preeclamptic pregnancies using in-situ hybridization, real time-PCR, immunohistochemistry and primary tissue cultures. Four distinguishable patterns were observed in the endometrium over the menstrual

INTRODUCTION The actual heat loss may be underestimated especially in studies employing mild whole-body cooling, if AVA-rich distal areas are not taken into account. In the present report, we illustrate the skin temperature response pattern in fingers (rich in AVAs) to transient whole-body cooling as compared to non-acral body sites (without AVAs). METHODS Eight men participated in the study. Duri

Harold Bloom writes "One would have to be blind, deaf and dumb not to recognize that Shakespeare's equivocal comedy The Merchant of Venice is nevertheless a profoundly anti-Semitic work" (Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, 171). This article examines the role which theological discourse plays in The Merchant of Venice. It also addressess the issue whether and under what circumstances Shakesp

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodbildningen är en av kroppens livligaste processer. Varje dag bildas det upp mot en triljon (12 nollor!) mogna blodceller. De röda blodkropparna står för transporten av syre, de vita blodkropparna försvarar mot infektioner och trombocyterna deltar i blodlevringen. Bildningen av blodceller sker i benmärgen och kan liknas vid ett träd, där roten utgörs av de så kalladeGranulocyte-macrophage- (GM-) and granulocyte- (G-) colony stimulating factor (CSF) are important cytokines in the regulation of hematopoiesis and for the function of mature blood cells. They are also involved in the cytokine network regulating the inflammatory and immune response. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulation of GM- and G-CSF production at the cellular level. The studie

In the paper, we consider the problem of routing and bandwidth allocation in networks that support elastic traffic. We assume that the bandwidth demand between each source-destination (S-D) pair is specified in terms of a minimum and maximum value, and a set of flows between each S-D pair is allowed to realize these demands. (We say that a set of flows realizes the demand associated with an S-D pa

We show that photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) due to its surface sensitivity can be used as a straightforward method to quantify the PMMA resist residues which remain on SiO2 surfaces after electron beam exposure and resist development. The attenuation of the SiO2 valence band and Si2p photoelectrons has been measured by using a photoelectron microscope and it has been found that correctly exposed
