In 1990 the performance artist, porn star, photographer and sex workers’ rights activist Annie Sprinkle presented her Post Post Porn Modernist: Still in Search of the Ultimate Sexual Experience. This show included the section “Public Cervix Announcement” (PCA) in which Sprinkle presented the audience with two large, oval shaped, colored drawings: one a cartoonish rendering of the female reproducti

BACKGROUND: The frequency of central venous catheter (CVC) related complications in hematological patients has previously been studied but some uncertainty remains. Therefore, this observational cohort study was designed primarily to investigate mechanical and infectious complications related to CVC insertion in hematological patients and secondarily, to identify factors associated with these comp

The Swedish public sector is facing great challenges in recruiting and retaining healthcare professionals, due to increasing sick leave numbers. The aim of this study was to describe Swedish occupational therapists’ occupational health in terms of risk factors in the social and organizational work environment, occupational balance, and work-related mental health problems. A web survey was emailed

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a pleiotropic cytokine, hitherto mostly known to be involved in inflammatory responses and immunoregulation. The human tslp gene gives rise to two transcription and translation variants: a long form (lfTSLP) that is induced by inflammation, and a short, constitutively-expressed form (sfTSLP), that appears to be downregulated by inflammation. The TSLP forms ca

The relationship between the frequency of River Ammer floods (southern Germany) and atmospheric circulation variability is investigated based on observational Ammer River discharge data back to 1926 and a flood layer time series from varved sediments of the downstream Lake Ammer for the pre-instrumental period back to 1766. A composite analysis reveals that, at synoptic timescales, observed River

The present study is a comparative analysis of the effects of the Open Method of Coordination (OMC) through the i2010 eGovernment Action Plan on two categories of EU member states: leaders and laggers, the latter of which has been divided into two categories. It examines the development of eGovernment within the categories mentioned above based on the EU‟s annual eGovernment benchmark reports. Fur

This book describes the Department of Physical Geography at Lund University from 1880 to 2000. It focuses on the staff and the development of Geography from its beginnings as a branch of History in 1880 through a period of traditional Geography up to 1948, when the subject was divided into two branches: physical Geography and Human and Economic Geography. Finally, the subject developed into a mode

Building on work of Williams,Wieler proved that every irreducible Smale space with totally disconnected stable sets can be realized via a stationary inverse limit. Using this result, the first and fourth listed authors of the present paper showed that the stable C∗-algebra associated to such a Smale space can be obtained from a stationary inductive limit of a Fell algebra. Its spectrum is typicall

Many Streptococcus pyogenes immunoglobulin-binding proteins have structural similarities to the antiphagocytic M protein, including the well-known C repeats. One of these molecules is the immunoglobulin A-binding protein Arp, which is expressed by a serotype 4 strain for which no antiphagocytic M protein has yet been described. We expressed Arp4 in an S. pyogenes strain from which the structural g

In 2001 the Doha Round Talks was initiated by the World Trade Organization. Development was the overarching goal. For several developing countries with a comparative advantage in agriculture, trade with such products is seen as essential to economic growth and thus development. In order to spur this development it appears to be particularly important that developing countries have increased access
