What is Church archaeology today, and what would we like it to be tomorrow? The occasion of the 90-year birthday of professor emeritus Erik Cinthio has afforded me the opportunity to reflect upon these two questions. Departure is taken in the 19th century, when medieval churches first became a topic of interest for researchers and architects. Church archaeology developed as a sub-discipline of art
This paper argues for the importance of using the regional innovation systems (RIS) approach as both an analytical framework and a policy tool for generating economic development in developing countries. The paper reconceptualizes the RIS-model to the context of developing countries. RIS is normally based on endogenous growth models; however, in this paper we extend it to rely on external capital,
Alterations in the expression and signalling pathways of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been linked to the clinical features and pathogenesis of hematologic malignancies. In this study, we showed that VEGF protein expression was statistically significantly higher in the leukemic blasts than in the normal hematopoietic counterparts. A statistically significant correlation between ex
In efforts to find synergies or trade-offs between the environmental and social pillars of policies aimed at sustainable development, a key set of issues are often discussed in terms of geographical scale. The aim of this paper is to critically examine the framings of social and environmental sustainability challenges as scale-related (such as local - global or North-South) involved in processes i
Investigation of the differential operators with the generalized coefficients having singular support on a disjoint set of points requires the consideration of the distribution theory with the set of discontinuous test functions. Such a distribution theory for test functions having discontinuity at one point is developed. A four-parameter family of Schrodinger operators, formed by the operators wi
Well deformed and superdeformed rotational structures in the second well of nuclei near doubly-magic Ni-56 were recently identified by means of heavy-ion fusion-evaporation reactions. Most interestingly, some of these bands were found to decay by prompt particle emission in competition to the expected gamma decay-out. Subsequently, dedicated experiments were performed to investigate this exotic de
BACKGROUND: TNF-α inhibitors are potent anti-inflammatory drugs that have revolutionized the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) is a non-invasive method to study cartilage quality, in particular the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content. PURPOSE: To evaluate knee cartilage quality before and after treatment with a TNF-α inhibitor (infliximab) i
De nya sjukpenningreglerna kommer att få en rad konsekvenser inte bara för den enskilde utan också på våra arbetsplatser. De arbetsrättsliga reglerna har inte ändrats, men den verklighet som de verkar i har förändrats radikalt och nya problemställningar dyker upp. Beviljas inte fortsatt sjukpenning ligger det nära till hands att arbetstagaren återkommer till arbetsplatsen och denna ”sjuknärvaro” m
Popular Abstract in English The present thesis investigates ways in which motion is described in Xenophon’s Anabasis, written in the 2nd part of the third century BC. The Anabasis tells the story of the Ten Thousand – the Greek soldiers who marched from Sardis to Babylon, and from there back to the Greek coast of the Black Sea – covering a great variety of motion events. The study examines passageThe thesis compares different prepositions and verbal prefixes denoting direction in Ancient Greek. The corpus covers passages in Xenophon’s Anabasis where such directional elements are used. In this work, it has been examined how the usage of prepositions differs from that of prefixes when they denote a concrete motion in space, what reasons lie behind their usage, and how various directional ele
