“There is something to confess: your speaker likes to leave a movie theater. Back out on the more or less empty, more or less brightly lit sidewalk (it is invariably at night, and during the week, that he goes), and heading uncertainly for some café or other, he walks in silence (he doesn’t like discussing the film he’s just seen), a little dazed, wrapped up in himself…”In his 1975 essay, Leaving

The ambition in this thesis is to try out an alternative language for music didaktik relations during music activity in preschool settings. The aim of the study is to describe and to analyze the didaktiks in music activity in preschool settings. The aim of the study is also on research basis to try out concepts that denote and capture the figuration of music activity. The overall research question

Purpose of review The purpose of this article is to review blood and urine tests that are currently available and under investigation for a role in prostate cancer screening and detection. Recent findings Compared with total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) alone, its combination with percentage free-to-total PSA contributes greater specificity for prostate cancer, and is a component of two newer b

Hereditary retinal degenerations encompass a group of genetic diseases characterized by extreme clinical variability. Following next-generation sequencing and autozygome-based screening of patients presenting with a peculiar, recessive form of cone-dominated retinopathy, we identified five homozygous variants [p.(Asp594fs), p.(Gln117*), p.(Met712fs), p.(Ile756Phe), and p.(Glu543Lys)] in the polygl

Urban environments pose novel challenges, as well as opportunities, for urban-dwelling wildlife. Although differences have been reported in several phenotypic traits (e.g. morphology, physiology and behaviour) between urban and rural populations, it is poorly understood whether this affects individual fitness. Telomere dynamics are posited as one possible mechanism underlying senescence and mortal

Best use of scientific knowledge is required to maintain the fundamental role of seafood in human nutrition. While it is acknowledged that genomic-based methods allow the collection of powerful data, their value to inform fisheries management, aquaculture, and biosecurity applications remains underestimated. We review genomic applications of relevance to the sustainable management of seafood resou

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under senare år har de högsta domstolarna i Norden i ett antal uppmärksammade avgöranden åsidosatt lagar, som stått i strid med respektive lands grundlag eller med EKMR. En omdebatterad fråga är om domstolarna har gått för långt – eller om de har väntat för länge med att ta på sig denna uppgift. I denna bok sätts de nordiska domarnas uppgift att kritiskt granska lagarsIn recent years, the supreme courts in the Nordic countries have set aside statutes as contrary to the constitution of the country or to the ECHR. A much debated question is whether the courts have gone too far – or if they have waited too long to take on this task. In this dissertation, the task of Nordic judges to critically examine the compatibility of legislation with constitutional norms is

Popular Abstract in Swedish Intresset för metallbaserade läkemedel har växt stadigt de senaste årtionden. Kemins utveckling ger oss hela tiden mer förståelse och bättre verktyg för studier av olika metallkomplex och deras biologiska verkning. Utvecklingen och kunskapen har ökat så mycket, att nya specialiserade discipliner har vuxit fram, som till exempel bio-oorganisk och biometallorganisk kemi. Various metal complexes have been used in medicine traditionally, although their use was often connected with mystery and with a lack of empirically (clinically) proven effect. In modern times, the development of biochemistry, bioinorganic and bioorganometallic chemistry allows us more in-depth understanding of biological action of metal containing substances. Among metal-containing drugs used tod

In this thesis the relation between lung surfactant structure and functional properties have been studied. Experimental results show that the alveolar surface is formed by a coherent surface phase with a structure equal to tubular myelin. The properties of this phase may explain certain unresolved issues in lung physiology, e.g., mechanical stability of surfactant during the breathing cycle, the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteiner är livsnödvändiga och finns i alla celler. De flesta proteinerna katalysear kemiska reaktioner och kallas då enzymer. Enzymer och proteiner (äggviteämnen) är uppbyggda av aminosyror ihopkopplade till kedjor som kan vara olika långa. Det finns 20 stycken olika aminosyror. Man kan göra en liknelse med ett pärlhalsband tillverkat av 20 olika pärlor, varje pärla m

The Van (forest) Gujjars, surviving as forest pastoralists in the central part of the Indian Himalaya, are a people who, due to their nomadic lifestyle, have since colonial rule found themselves at the margin of Indian society. This paper will look at the relationship between the Van Gujjars and their forest base in a historical perspective from colonial rule to 'conservation of nature' and the 'r

Background: High-throughput sequencing enables high-resolution genotyping of extremely duplicated genes.454 amplicon sequencing (454) has become the standard technique for genotyping the major histocompatibilitycomplex (MHC) genes in non-model organisms. However, illumina MiSeq amplicon sequencing (MiSeq), which offersa much higher read depth, is now superseding 454. The aim of this study was to q

BACKGROUND: Until recently, mechanisms of segmentation established for Drosophila served as a paradigm for arthropod segmentation. However, with the discovery of gene expression waves in vertebrate segmentation, another paradigm based on oscillations linked to axial growth was established. The Notch pathway and hairy delay oscillator are basic components of this mechanism, as is the wnt pathway. W

The use of accelerometers has become an important part of biologging techniques for large-sized birds with accelerometer data providing information about flight mode, wing-beat pattern, behaviour and energy expenditure. Such data show that birds using much energy-saving soaring/gliding flight like frigatebirds and swifts can stay airborne without landing for several months. Successful acceleromete
