Essential to this paper is the recognition of the "privileged status our culture accords written discourse", which is discussed against the background of "the variety of ways in which we represent our realities" (Chaplin, 1994, p. 277), the power of representations to influence perceptions (Jacob, 1989) and the ever-growing importance of communities of shared meaning (Delanty, 2002). Jenks' argume

Popular Abstract in Swedish Entusiasmen över de stora landvinningarna inom läkemedelsområdet skuggas av en ökad medvetenhet om läkemedelsrelaterade problem samt av höga och ökande läkemedelskostnader. De bevisade effekterna i rigoröst kontrollerade kliniska prövningar motsvaras inte alltid av en förbättrad hälsa när läkemedlet når större spridning i samhället och sjukligheten bara blir en av många

Background: Methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone (MCI/MI) and methylisothiazolinone (MI) are tested to detect contact allergy to these isothiazolinones. Objectives: To study if an aqueous patch test preparation with MCI and MI in a mix of 0.015% and 0.2%, respectively, detects more contact allergies than the commonly used preparations of MCI/MI in 0.02% aq. and MI in 0.2% aq. Methods:

Brain pericytes are important to maintain vascular integrity of the neurovascular unit under both physiological and ischemic conditions. Ischemic stroke is known to induce an inflammatory and hypoxic response due to the lack of oxygen and glucose in the brain tissue. How this early response to ischemia is molecularly regulated in pericytes is largely unknown and may be of importance for future the

A nonlinear autotuning regulator algorithm is obtained via a direct combination of the Åström-Hägglund algorithm for the linear case [1] with the sinusoidal-input describing function (SIDEF) approach to nonlinear compensator synthesis of Taylor and Strobel [2]. The basic approach for linear autotuning proceeds as follows: a. install a relay with hysteresis in series with the unknown plant to be co

The present paradigm on transitional justice dictates that diverse interventions are needed in the aftermath of conflict. The West African country Liberia suffered from 14 years of civil war that ended in 2003 and is now the location for several interventions run by local NGO’s funded from abroad. In the rural post-conflict communities of Liberia’s Northern region, Lofa County, The Community Heali

Sociala medier har kommit att utgöra en stor del av dagens kommunikation. Organisationer använder dessa i sitt kommunikationsarbete utan att besitta större kunskap om hur verktyget ska hanteras för att nå sin fulla potential. Dagens forskning om sociala medier saknar till stor del ett kritiskt förhållningssätt. Det diskuteras inte om organisationer ska använda sociala medier, utan snarare när och Social media forms a major part of today's communication. Organizations choose to adapt this in their work with communication, but lack sufficient understanding of how the tool should be handled in order to reach full potential. Today's research on the social media largely lacks a critical approach. It is not discussed whether organizations should use social media, but rather when and how.

Abstract Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitor was fabricated on the InGaAs substrate with Al2O3/HfO2 gate oxide. InGaAs is one of the promising candidates for advanced applications which require the lower power supply and high frequency. The high-k films (Al2O3/HfO2) were formed by atomic layer deposition (ALD) as an alternative to silicon dioxide (SiO2) to proceed the scaling of oxide to low
