This article presents an empirical study, which analyzes the characteristics of those social housing projects implemented in the medium-sized city of Liberia, in Costa Rica, and their relationship to the territorial distribution of inequality and urban poverty. The dynamic economic growth of the province of Guanacaste and in particular of its capital, the city of Liberia, is widely recognized in C
This chapter considers the problem of estimation of the transfer function of a continuous-time dynamic system in the presence of colored noise. Whereas parameter estimation can be made by means of a discrete-time maximum-likelihood algorithm, an operator transformation permits a continuous-time model parameterization. The method is useful in cases where it is important to estimate the coefficients
Between 1840 and 1940, more than one million people emigrated from Sweden to America. The fact that so many chose to leave to seek a better life across the Atlantic was a major trauma for the Swedish nation. Filmmakers were not slow to pick up on an exodus that proved to be of lasting importance for the Swedes’ national identity. In Welcome Home Mr Swanson, film studies scholar Ann-Kristin Walleng
This chapter analyzes the language resources that writers have at their disposal to describe their experience of the web of sensory perceptions that are evoked in the wine tasting practice. The task of the writer is to provide a mental understanding of the sensations as well as a prehension of the experiences. We show that this involves the weaving together of the senses, starting with the sight o
The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of, and to help form a more complete picture of, the perceived safety of wheelchair-seated passengers using special transportation services (STS). A questionnaire was sent out and completed by 801 respondents in five Swedish regions. Additional information was acquired by means of 15 subsequent in-depth interviews. It was found that 5% repor
I år var andra gången som Lunds universitet genomförde en universitetsgemensam pedagogisk utvecklingskonferens, första gången var 2007. Konferensen, som är ett samarrangemang mellan samtliga fakulteter och CED, har nu alltså blivit en återkommande aktivitet! Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten stod värd för årets konferens och dekanus Ann-Katrin Bäcklund sträckte vid invigningen fram en symbolisk sta
Essän ägnas åt att skissera en möjligt utvecklingslinje för hur bilder av manskroppen skapats och/eller använts i en homosexuell kultur från sekelskiftet 1900 till idag, och hur detta bildbruk samverkat med en normaliserande och dominerande heterokultur.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Tumörer kan på olika sätt hämma immunsystemet och detta kan vara orsaken till varför immunterapi mot tumörer oftast inte lyckas. Denna nedreglering av immunförsvaret kan medieras av faktorer producerade från tumörcellerna själva eller så kan den följa efter en stark immunstimulering som satts igång av immunterapi. Kväve monoxid (NO) har visats vara en av de ämnen som kaDuring tumor progression a strong immunosuppression is developed and is believed to be the major reason why immunotherapy fails. This suppression is induced in response to factors produced from tumor cells, but can also be induced after immunotherapy. NO has been shown to play a major role in this suppression both in patients with gliomas and colon carcinomas. The aim of this thesis is to clarify
The concept ‘postmodernism’ refers to a very complex ideological movement concerning the entire cognitive field; from music to architecture, from film to philosophy and from technology to sociology. As an academic ‘subject’ or object of study, its origin can be dated to the midst of the 1980’s, but as a historical process, the dating is more difficult. Some writers associate the birth of postmoder

In clinical transplantation immunosuppressive agents are used in combination with the objective to achieve additive effects and less toxicity. A large number of novel drugs are candidates for clinical introduction at this time and experiments in animal models have an important role to play. The aim of this study was in brief to evaluate the capacity to inhibit the acute rejection process with biol
