In this paper, we look at the terrain of Malcolm X's "failed rhetoric" as producing an apocalyptic refusal of world, and world making. This refusal finds its intensity from a distinct gnostic calculus, driving Malcolm X's political theology of names and worlds, seen in his oratory from the years 1962–1964. First, Malcolm X's nominal history is discussed in relation to the violence of naming and po
Creative AI (notably GANs and VAEs) can generate convincing fakes of video footage, pictures, graphics, etc. In order to conceptualize the societal role of creative AI a new conceptual toolbox is needed. The paper provides metaphors and concepts for understanding the functioning of creative AI. It shows how the role of creative AI in relation to FAT ideals can be enriched by a dynamic and construc
Berättigad kritik mot rättsväsendet eller okontrollerad pöbeljustis? I kölvattnet av #metoo-rörelsen kvarstår spänningen mellan de sociala mediernas virala rätt och rättsväsendets formella rätt. Rättsvetaren Linnea Wegerstad tar sig här an kärnan i den senaste tidens fem #metoo-relaterade förtalsåtal: konflikten mellan rätten att berätta om sexuellt våld och rätten att inte bli föremål för ryktess
A key enabler for Industry 4.0 is Fifth Generation Wireless Specifications (5G), within which network slicing is a promising technique to ensure customized quality of service for specific end-user groups in industrial scenarios. Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) plays a significant role in 5G but network slicing for massive MIMO has not yet been addressed. In this paper, we propose a n
This thesis is an empirical and theoretical investigation of choice blindness, in particular in the domain of political attitudes. Choice blindness is a cognitive phenomenon in which people do not notice dramatic mismatches between what they choose and what they get while still offering seemingly introspective arguments to explain their (putative) choice. In four papers, it is demonstrated that th
Thirty-seven sera positive for anti-GBM antibodies (antibodies against the ‘Goodpasture antigen’ = NCI-domain of collagen IV) in routine analysis were studied for antigen restriction and IgG subclasses. Four different polypeptides, the four α-chains (α1, α2, α3 and α4) of human collagen IV NCI, were used as coating in ELISA assays. Autoantibodies were detected with monoclonal antibodies towards hu
Sera that had been positive in routine ELISA for ANCA were studied retrospectively for the IgG subclass distribution of these autoantibodies. An ELISA previously developed for measurement of IgG sub classes of anti-GBM antibodies was modified for this purpose. Of a total of 247 sera, 114 were found to be positive in at least one of the assays for IgG subclasses of anti proteinase 3, 72 of these pa
We studied IgG subclass distribution of ANCA in 247 patients with ELISA. We used monoclonal subclass specific antibodies and purified MPO and proteinase 3 as antigen. We found that IgG1 and IgG4 yield high values in both groups. We also found that high IgG2 titers were rare among the anti-proteinase 3 positive, while it was common among anti-MPO sera. In the assays for IgG3 the situation was the o
Abstract. Objectives. To ascertain whether a relationship exists between the PiZ alpha1‐antitrypsin (α1AT) variant and antineutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCA)‐positive vasculitis in a large group of Swedish patients, and whether analysis for the presence of the PiZ variant might be useful for diagnostic or prognostic purposes. Design. Retrospective cross‐sectional study. Setting. The Department
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with or without other signs of systemic vasculitis is often accompanied by antibodies to myeloperoxidase. Such antibodies normally produce a perinuclear pattern on ethanol-fixed neutrophils (perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (P-ANCA)) at indirect immunofluorescence. We report here sera from three patients that are anti-myeloperoxidase-positive
Detection of ANCA has become an important tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of disease activity in Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). Unfortunately, a group of sera positive by the standard method for ANCA detection, indirect immunofluorescence (IIF), are negative when more specific tests with purified proteins are used. In order to examine this discrepancy we examined groups of sera selected for
Young children’s engagements with digital technologies form part of their emergent everyday literacy practices. The study reported here derives from the pan-European study ‘A Day in the Digital Lives of Children aged 0-3’. The methodology was centred on the videoing of an entire day’s experiences of a child aged under 3, together with a reflective interview with the parents and inventories related
När vi försöker minska detaljstyrning och formalism i offentlig sektor blirorganisationskulturen viktigare än någonsin. Goda resultat och en godkultur går hand i hand. I den här boken kan du läsa om vad etttillitsbaserat arbete för en god kultur kan innebära. Författaren förklararhur denna ansats skiljer sig åt från hur många organisationer arbetar idag– en ansats som är starkt påverkad av New Pub
I den här boken får du en introduktion till tillit som ledningsfilosofi. Grunden är forskning och boken riktar sig till såväl forskare som praktiskt verksamma i offentlig sektor. Många anställda i offentlig sektor vittnar om hur detaljstyrning, överdriven formalism och felriktad mätning hindrar dem från att göra ett gott arbete. De upplever att verksamheten styrs och leds med fjärrkontroll och med
