Housing in the RiverCity : Rethinking Place and Process

On the banks of the Göta River, the city of Gothenburg is undergoing a transformation that characterizes many urban waterfronts today, as shipping, fishing, and naval uses are replaced by a high demand for new housing. What is unique to Gothenburg is its vision of a RiverCity that is diverse, environmentally sound, and vibrant. It is imperative, however, to take stock of the successes and failures

Global real interest rate dynamics from the late 19th century to today

There is a long-standing economic debate to what extent interest rates are determined by domestic versus international forces. Using a time series factor model, we estimate two common global factors for the short-term real interest rate for a panel of 17 advanced economies from 1871 to 2013. Our analysis shows that more than 50% of the variation in national real interest rates can be explained by

Paradigm Found? Immanent Critique to Tackle Interdisciplinarity and Normativity in Science for Sustainable Development

The ambition of this two-part article is to argue for immanent critique as a research strategy in sustainability studies. We do this by picking up and developing two central, cross-cutting themes in sustainability research, namely interdisciplinarity and normativity. It is widely suggested that the problem-driven and solution-focused orientation in sustainability studies necessitates interdiscipli

Comments are given on the identity of some populations of allotetraploid Dactylorhiza in southern Norway and their relationships to populations elsewhere in Scandinavia and in continental Europe. The most widespread allotetraploid member of Dactylorhiza in southern Norway is D. majalis ssp. sphagnicola. This subspecies is confined to poor and medium-rich fens dominated by peat mosses, Sphagnum, inComments are given on the identity of some populations of allotetraploid Dactylorhiza in southern Norway and their relationships to populations elsewhere in Scandinavia and in continental Europe.

Genome-wide meta-analysis of 158,000 individuals of European ancestry identifies three loci associated with chronic back pain

Back pain is the #1 cause of years lived with disability worldwide, yet surprisingly little is known regarding the biology underlying this symptom. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of chronic back pain (CBP). Adults of European ancestry were included from 15 cohorts in the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) consortium, and from th

The polymorphic early marsh orchids, Dactylorhiza incarnata s.l. (Orchidaceae), at Lough Gealain, Ireland

Populations of Dactylorhiza incarnata (early marsh orchids) with spotted leaves appear in widely separate parts of Europe including Scandinavia and the Baltic area, The Alps, and Britain and Ireland. Forms with spotted leaves have often been segregated as a separate subspecies, D. incarnata subsp. cruenta. Although previous studies have indicated that the taxon is heterogeneous, it is not known hoPopulations of Dactylorhiza incarnata (early marsh orchids) with spotted leaves appear in widely separate parts of Europe including Scandinavia and the Baltic area, the Alps, and Britain and Ireland.

Multicenter prospective study of the humoral autoimmune response in bullous pemphigoid

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune bullous disease, associated with autoantibodies directed against the hemidesmosomal components BP180 and BP230. In this study for the first time different laboratories have analyzed the autoantibody profile in the same group of 49 prospectively recruited BP patients. The results show that: 1) disease severity and activity correlated with levels of IgG again

Inget är heligare än att stå upp för den akademiska friheten

Jag vill gärna avsluta med att citera psykiatrikern David Eberhard som i sin bok ”Det stora könsexperimentet" förklarar problemet med klagomålen kring Hesslow mycket väl: ”I dagens genusteoretiska värld tycks inte ens biologi existera. Man har helt enkelt valt bort den”.A debate article on the discussions at Lund University regarding Professor Germund Hesslow and his lecture regarding sexuality.

Legal Silencing of Minority Legal Culture : The Case of Roma in Swedish Criminal Courts

he traditional Swedish monocentric and uniform legal model is challenged by an increasingly diverse contemporary legal situation associated with the development of a multicultural and pluralistic society. How Swedish criminal courts handle this in terms of understanding and framing minority legal culture is addressed by looking into what role is given to this culture in the courts’ construction of

Juxtaposed narrative : The dilemma of cultural memory on display in George Town’s street art

Street art is a ubiquitous visual landmark in contemporary George Town, the capital city of Penang state in Malaysia. Both private commissioned and state-sanctioned types of street art are the new significant cultural identification of this World Heritage Site city as inscribed by UNESCO in 2008. Street art in this multicultural city becomes the articulated media that deals with the notion of cult

Determinants of health-related quality of life in a multinational systemic sclerosis inception cohort

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and its determinants in a systemic sclerosis (SSc) multinational inception cohort. We performed a meta-analysis of data from individual countries, and compared the meta-analysis to individual country results by pooling data from each of the countries.METHODS: SSc patients within 2 years of disease onset were recruited from 5 countries

Gender differences in early systemic sclerosis patients : a report from the EULAR scleroderma trials and research group (EUSTAR) database

METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis of the prospective EULAR Scleroderma Trial and Research database (EUSTAR) was performed. Patients fulfilling preliminary ACR 1980 classification criteria for SSc, with less than 3 years from the first non-Raynaud's symptom at first entry, were selected. A group of patients with less than 3 years from the first SSc symptom, including Raynaud's phenomenon, was als
