An overview of the work of Swedish filmmaker Carl Slättne (b. 1937) who has been an important part of avant-garde film culture as well as of the documentary tradition within Swedish television.

Why was Scandinavia the first place in the world to introduce national laws allowing registered partnership between same-sex couples? This article is a survey and historical documentation of the registered partnership laws throughout Scandinavia, documenting their origin in Denmark in 1989 and their subsequent adoption by every Nordic country. The origins of the laws are traced to the 1970s

Ischemic stroke causes transient increase of neural stem and progenitor cell (NSPC) proliferation in the subventricular zone (SVZ), and migration of newly formed neuroblasts toward the damaged area where they mature to striatal neurons. The molecular mechanisms regulating this plastic response, probably involved in structural reorganization and functional recovery, are poorly understood. The adapt

One rapid membrane chromatography test and 2 immunofluorescence tests were compared with polymerase chain reaction as tools for the diagnosis of influenza in 277 patients treated in an emergency department. The sensitivity on days 1-3 of symptoms was 71% for the rapid membrane chromatography test, 70% for the first immunofluorescence test, and 79% for the second immunofluorescence test. Rapid test

An electrochemical method for the measurement of NAD(+) and NADH in normal and cancer tissues using flow injection analysis (FIA) is reported. Reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) electrodes with entrapped L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and a new redox polymer containing covalently bound toluidine blue O (TBO) were employed for this purpose. Both NAD(+) and NADH were estimated coulometrically based on

BACKGROUND: Butterflies of the subtribe Mycalesina have radiated successfully in almost all habitat types in Africa, Madagascar, the Indian subcontinent, Indo-China and Australasia. Studies aimed at understanding the reasons behind the evolutionary success of this spectacular Old World butterfly radiation have been hampered by the lack of a stable phylogeny for the group. Here, we have reconstruct

This article explores the holistic approach to Leo Hurwitz's documentary aesthetic, by looking at how "Dialogue with a Woman Departed" (1981) interweaves the portrait of an individual with the contemporary history of the American nation and with the cyclical processes of nature.

Vilket lands lag är tillämplig vid gränsöverskridande marknadsföring som riktar sig till Sverige? Den traditionella och i Sverige etablerade effektlandsprincipen innebär att svensk marknadsföringsrätt anses tillämplig på marknadsföring som har effekt här i riket, oavsett i vilket land marknadsföringen har sitt ursprung. I artikeln diskuterar författaren med utgångspunkt i ett avgörande från Markna

Popular Abstract in Swedish Utveckling av beröringsfri teknik för att styra och kontrollera metallurgiska hög temperatur processer. Befintlig teknik kräver kontakt med mediet av intresse vilket medför att överlevnadstiden för probar och sensorer är kort. I den har avhandlingen beskrivs arbetet med att utveckla och ta i bruk beröringsfri mätteknik för övervakning och kontroll av metallurgiska framsThe steel- and metal industry has an extensive production processing comprising many different process steps of solid, gaseous and liquid nature. Thus it is obvious that a number of different measurement technologies must be used to collect and evaluate key physical parameters which are necessary to control the production processes. In this respect, the software to monitor the processes have, duri

Fler och fler byggnader utformas och uppförs där målsättningen är att uppnå någon form av balans mellan byggnadens energibehov och energi som byggnaden själv tillför. I dagsläget finns ingen tydlig definition av hur denna balans skall beräknas, varken nationellt eller internationellt. Denna artikel presenterar viktiga frågor som bör besvaras i samband med ett sådant definitionsarbete. Artikeln bas
