The 20 or so galectins expected to be found in man, and their many possible functional effects promise a rich and fruitful research field in the future. At present, the biomedically most promising areas for use of galectins or their ligands are in inflammation, immunity, and cancer. Many good stories can be formulated, but the field lacks the cohesion of knowing basic galectin function. The only b

OBJECTIVE: The composition of clinical department managers in Swedish hospitals is changing; more non-doctors and women are entering managerial positions. In parallel, most hospitals face increased pressure to contain costs. This article presents a study of managers' perceptions of tightness of budgetary control and how their views vary systematically with personal characteristics and organization

Investments in Enterprise Systems (ES) represent a significant part of many organisations’ investments. Time and budget overruns have been more a rule than an exception in ES implementations. One critical success factor for improving ES implementation is Enterprise Systems Implementation Methodologies (ESIMs). There is a lack of research on the use of ESIMs; however, the scant research does show c

This article discusses the latest ten years of feminist performance in Sweden.

We show that for any 0, a maximum-weight triangle in an undirected graph with n vertices and real weights assigned to vertices can be found in time \O(n+n2+), where is the exponent of fastest matrix multiplication algorithm. By the currently best bound on , the running time of our algorithm is \O(n2376). Our algorithm substantially improves the previous time-bounds for this problem recently establ

The aim of this study was to describe experiences of physical activity, perceived meaning and importance of, and motives and barriers for participation in physical activity, among people 80 years of age and older. A qualitative design with focus-group methodology was used. The sample consisted of 20 community-living people aged 80-91 years. Data analyses revealed four themes: physical activity as

Environmental problems and technical systems in the society are fundamentally related to hydrology. Hydrology is a very comprehensive concept. In fact, there are at least ten independent disciplines within hydrology. Classical hydrology is a descriptive science with the water balance equation as almost the only means of quantifying computations. Hydrodynamics have now to some extent been introduce
