Marknadens tid samlar bidrag från några av Sveriges främsta historiker och fokuserar tiden från 1970-talet och framåt. Varje kapitel utgår från en bild, och i centrum står marknadsvändningen – en mångfacetterad, men samtidigt tydlig process genom vilken marknaden som institution, ideal och metafor blivit ledande inom samhällslivet. Hur kom det sig?Marknadens tid satte stora avtryck i svensk politiThis timely edited volume gather’s a number of Sweden’s leading historians who specialize on the profound transformations of the late 20th Century. Each chapter starts from an image, and at the center is the “market turn” – a multifaceted, but at the same time distinct historical process through which the market as an institution, an ideal, and a metaphor has become a focal point of social life. H

This article argues that despite the fact that “good governance” has acquired a very particular set of meanings within the international development community, this remains an inherently contested and political concept. It traces the emergence of a good governance agenda within international development—and particularly within the World Bank—and identifies the important shifts that have occurred i

Rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) has over the years demonstrated its strong potential to measure temperature and relative concentrations of major species in combustion. A recent work is the development and experimental validation of a CO2 model for thermometry, in addition to our previous rotational CARS models for other molecules. In the,present work, additional calibrati

Stereoselective baker's yeast-catalysed bioreduction of bicyclo [2.2.2]octane-2.6-dione generates (1R, 4S, 6S)-6-hydroxy-bicyclo [2.2.2]octane-2-one (endo-alcohol) with high enantiomeric and diastereomeric excess. In contrast, whole cells and crude membrane fractions of Candida sp. have been reported to produce the unusual (I R, 4S, 6S)-diastereomer (exo-alcohol) as a major product. Previous in si

Both glomerular and tubular markers have been used to follow diabetic nephropathy. However, neither albumin nor proximal tubular markers have proven useful in prepubertal diabetes. Hence we studied two markers derived from the distal tubular cells, Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) and epidermal growth factor (EGF), The urinary excretion of THP and EGF was examined in samples obtained during the first 2

During the last couple of years, an explosion in the use of drones during armed conflict has occurred. Drones are said to be game changers that will revolutionize warfare in a broad variety of ways. One such way is evening out power imbalances between asymmetric actors by giving the weaker actor a cheap but potent weapon and access to the sky. This study examines this claim by comparing two non-st

The project developed by three institutions in Denmark and Sweden –Malmoe School of Education, City Archives of Malmoe and the Cultural History Workshop in Denmark– uses the methods of oral history as an instrument in the production of historical awareness. It tries to elaborate multiple histories at several levels –nation, regional, local; ethnicized and gendered, social and political history– th

All scientific research requires problem definition and discipline, as well as concept and method formation. However, from a human point of view the most important problems are probably those found in areas where it may be difficult to provide such ideal research conditions. Rehabilitation engineering and design research is one such field. Nonetheless, we believe that these theory and method forma

Purpose of review Obesity has significant impact on asthma incidence and manifestations. The purpose of the review is to discuss recent observations regarding the association between obesity and asthma focusing on underlying mechanisms, clinical presentation, response to therapy and effect of weight reduction. Recent findings Clinical and epidemiological studies indicate that obese patients with a

Molecular characterization of malignant plasma cells is increasingly important for diagnostic and therapeutic stratification in multiple myeloma (MM). However, the malignant plasma cells represent a relatively small subset of bone marrow cells, and need to be enriched prior to analysis. Currently, the cell surface marker CD138 (SDC1) is used for this enrichment, but has an important limitation in

Free will is widely thought to require (i) the possibility of acting otherwise and (ii) the making of choices that are intentionally endorsed, not just indeterministically picked. According to (i), a necessary condition for free will is agential-level indeterminism: at some points in time, an agent’s prior history admits more than one possible continuation. According to (ii), however, this indeter

We measure the transient photocurrent of APFO3:PCBM bulk heterojunction solar cells illuminated with ns-laser and sub-ms LED light sources. The ratio of the number of collective charges to the number of excited photon (external quantum efficiency, EQE) and the transient photocurrent fall times have been carried out with difference pulse durations and fluences. The EQEs characterized by ns-laser so

To obtain better fluid mixing and higher heat transfer rate in the low Reynolds number regime, various types of fins have been employed for electronic cooling applications. However, previous works showed that there are no remarkable differences in the thermal performance of a straight-plate and a channel with louvered-fins when the Reynolds number is low or moderate. In this paper, the Constructal

A hallmark of disease is that most pathogens are able to infect more than one host species. However, for most pathogens, we still have a limited understanding of how this affects epidemiology, persistence and virulence of infections—including several zoonotic pathogens that reside in wild animal reservoirs and spillover into humans. In this chapter, we review the current knowledge of mallard (Anas

Computational tools are widely used for ranking and prioritizing variants for characterizing their disease relevance. Since numerous tools have been developed, they have to be properly assessed before being applied. Critical Assessment of Genome Interpretation (CAGI) experiments have significantly contributed toward the assessment of prediction methods for various tasks. Within and outside the CAG
