Daniel Quinn is the protagonist in Paul Auster's novel City of Glass. This essay traces his development chronologically to assess his search for, need of, and eventual lack of an identity.

In Sweden today, power production with bioenergy systems is more costly than with fossil energy systems. New technology under development, such as integrated gasification and combined cycle technology (IGCC), and reduced biomass costs would improve the competitiveness of bioenergy systems. The CO2 mitigation costs are lower for biomass systems using IGCC technology than for natural gas systems usi

Fat cadherins constitute a subclass of the large cadherin family characterized by the presence of 34 cadherin motifs. To date, three mammalian Fat cadherins have been described; however, only limited information is known about the function of these molecules. In this paper, we describe the second fat cadherin in Drosophila, fat-like (ftl). We show that ftl is the true orthologue of vertebrate fat-

Under de senaste 100 åren har vi successivt minskat vår dagliga fysiska aktivitet. Eftersom vi är mindre vältränade, svagare och mer överviktiga har benägenheten att drabbas av sjukdomar som diabetes och hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar ökat. WHO rapporterar att 25% av vuxna inte uppfyller de globala rekommenderade nivåerna av fysisk aktivitet. Vår forskningsenhet är intresserad av att lära sig hur genetiDuring the last 100 years, we have gradually reduced our daily physical activity. As less fit, weaker, and fatter, we have become more prone to diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The WHO reports that one in four adults do not meet the global recommended levels of physical activity. Our research unit is interested in learning how genetic variation influences skeletal muscle function

Lungcancer är en vanlig tumörsjukdom med dåliga behandlingsresultat och den cancerform som skördar flest liv i Sverige och globalt. Rökning är den starkaste riskfaktorn för lungcancer men 10-15% av patienterna har aldrig rökt. Lungcancer är en heterogen sjukdom på molekylär nivå. För att förbättra diagnostiken, behandlingen och prognosen i lungcancer behövs en bättre förståelse av tumörspecifika fLung cancer, the leading cause of cancer death, is divided into histological subtypes with large differences in molecular alterations, clinical presentation, and patient outcome. By a combined clinical and molecular approach we focus on improving the molecular understanding of lung cancer and translate research findings into a clinical diagnostics. By characterization of the genomic, transcriptio

Epidemiology is the study of the distribution of diseases and disease promoting factors in the population. The cardiovascular epidemiology research group focuses on studies of cerebrovascular diseases (stroke) and heart diseases, such as myocardial infarction, heart failure or atrial fibrillation. The research is performed in well characterized population-based cohorts, with extensive information

The report examines the integrated Nordic power market and its linkages to renewable energy technology (RET) deployment for power production. It has two purposes. First, it aims to improve the understanding of the expansion of the Nordic power market and integration and deployment of RET. Secondly, it takes lessons from the Nordic experience that co

Inom nuvarande könsnormer så ses kön främst som ett uttryck av biologiska könsgrupper som är binära och olika, men kompletterande. En performativ syn på kön analyserar i stället kön som något som uppstår under sociala interaktioner genom konstant repetition av handlingar som sker inom förhärskande könsdiskurser. Dessa hegemoniska könsdiskurser konstruerar kön som fundamentalt heterosexuellt. DärmeCurrent gender norms predominantly construct gender as an expression of binary sex categories that are different but complementary. A performative view of gender instead analyses gender as an emergent feature of social interactions that is created by the constant repetition of acts in relation to discourses of gender. Within these hegemonic discourses, gender is constructed as fundamentally hetero

BACKGROUND: Survivin regulates cell division and inhibits apoptosis. Liver regeneration is a complex process involving both proliferation and apoptosis. The role of survivin is not well elucidated and no data exist in humans.METHODS: Seventy per cent liver resection was used to investigate liver regeneration in rats. Survivin was identified by means of reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reacti

In many existing buildings, energy conservation measures have significantly reduced the demands for heat supply. In new buildings, advances in a wide range of technologies have led to even greater reductions. On the other hand, demands for electrical energy have risen noticeably. Unfortunately, it now seems that the use of both heat and electrical energy is starting to increase, especially in non

District heating systems using cogeneration, as well as local fuel-based and electric heating systems for detached houses, are analysed. The analysis includes the whole energy system, from the natural resource to the end user, with respect to primary energy use, emission and cost. The end-use technologies studied are heat pumps, resistance heaters and boilers. It was assumed that the base-load ele

Regional production and utilization of biomass in Sweden is analysed, considering the potential of replacing fossil fuels and producing new electricity. Extensive utilization of biomass will decrease biomass-transportation distances. The average distance for biomass transportation to a large-scale conversion plant suitable for electricity or methanol production will be 30–42 km when the conversion

In a bid to find ways to improve the use and management of electricity within the Swedish residential market, an investigation is being undertaken with the purpose of finding some of the individual factors of this consumption and what are the possibilities of its control. The electricity users within this study are all connected to their supplier via an automatic one-hour metering system that all
