Det offentliga samtalet om etnokulturella frågor

Det i Sverige dominerande perspektivet på etnokulturella frågor definierar invandrare och flyktingar i termer av ekonomiska problem och sociala motsättningar. Ansvaret för den systematiska begreppsförvirring och tilltagande kuturrasism som präglar det offentliga samtalet vilar tungt på ledande massmedier, politiker och s k invandrarforskare.

Core-excited quintet states in Mg I

The low-lying core-excited quintet states of Mg I have been studied experimentally and theoretically. On the basis of beam-foil spectroscopy, the energies of nearly all the quintet levels belonging to the 2p(5)3s3p2 and 2p(5)3s3p4s configurations have been established, while only 5F levels from the 2p(5)3s3p3d configuration could be identified. Multiconfigurational Hartree-Fock calculations, inclu

Kinetics and mechanism for reduction of halo- and haloam(m)ine platinum(IV) complexes by L-ascorbate

Reduction of the model platinum(IV) complexes cis-[PtCl4(NH3)(2)] (1), trans-[PtCl4(NH3)(2)] (2). trans-[PtCl2(en)(2)](2+) (3), trans-[PtBr2(NH3)(4)](2+) (4), [PtCl6](2-) (5), and [PtBr6](2-) (6) with L-ascorbic acid (H(2)Asc) in 1.0 M aqueous medium at 25 degreesC in the region 1.75 less than or equal to pH less than or equal to 7.20 has been investigated using stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The

Hormone replacement therapy in healthy postmenopausal women: a randomized, placebo-controlled study of effects on coagulation and fibrinolytic factors

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate effects of postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on von Willebrand factor, factor (F)VIII, factor (F)VII, fibrinogen, antithrombin (AT) III, prothrombin fragments 1 and 2, protein C, total and free protein S, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and resistance to activated protein C. DESIGN: Part 1: double blind randomized

The Triple Helix as a model to analyze Israeli Magnet Program and lessons for late-developing countries like Turkey

Although the systemic changes towards innovation networking between university-industry and governmental actors have recently found a place on the international policy and literature agenda, networking between the organizations and people - for the national survival, production and growth - has been deeply rooted in the Israeli system even before the establishment of the Israeli State in 1948. Int

pi* -> n fluorescence transition in formaldehyde in aqueous solution: A combined quantum chemical statistical mechanical study

The solvent shift to the fluorescence transition pi* -> n in formaldehyde in aqueous Solution is theoretically analyzed. The solvent model has explicit representation of the solvent and uses the complete active space state interaction (CASSI) method to obtain a description of the wave function of the solute similar to what the complete active space self-consistent-field (CASSCF) method would give.

Contractual Price Rigidities and Exchange Rate Adjustment

Recent years have provided overwhelming evidence for substantial deviations from purchasing power parity as calculated from price indices for internationally traded goods and services. These deviations have significant implications for pricing policies of multinational firms. This article reports the findings of a comparative study of Swedish and Singaporean firms. It is aimed at assessing the imp

Human low-Mr kininogen contains three copies of a cystatin sequence that are divergent in structure and in inhibitory activity for cysteine proteinases.

We point out that human low-Mr kininogen contains three cystatin-like sequences, rather than two, as had previously been thought. The protein was purified by affinity chromatography on carboxymethyl-papain-Sepharose, and subjected to limited proteolysis by trypsin and chymotrypsin. Fragments were isolated, and three corresponding to the individual cystatin-like domains were identified. By comparis

Variation in factor VIII inhibitor reactivity with different commercial factor VIII preparations: is it of clinical importance?

Factor VIII inhibitors may interfere with several important functional binding sites on the factor VIII molecule including that of von Willebrand factor, which binds to the C2 domain. There are in vitro and in vivo observations that inhibitors reacting against the factor VIII light-chain C2 domain may display a lower inhibitor titer against von Willebrand factor containing concentrates as compared

Institutional theory and contracting in venture capital: The Swedish experience

This paper tests the tenets of institutional theory by means of an empirical study of the contractual strategies applied in the Swedish venture capital industry. Venture capitalists differ in, for example, their preferences for early or later stage investments. Some have more experience than others and some are employed by public funds while others work in non-public funds. The sector, however, wa

Increasing body mass index at diagnosis of diabetes in young adult people during 1983-1999 in the Diabetes Incidence Study in Sweden (DISS).

Objective. To study trends in body mass index (BMI) at diagnosis of diabetes in all young Swedish adults in the age range of 15-34 years registered in a nation-based registry. Design. The BMI was assessed at diagnosis in diabetic patients 15-34 years of age at diagnosis, for a period of 17 years (1983-1999). Islet cell antibodies (ICA) were measured during three periods (1987-1988, 1992-1993 and

Immunomodulation by costimulation blockade inhibits rejection of nerve allografts

The aim of this study was to investigate if costimulation blockade could be used to modulate the immune response, to prevent rejection, and to stimulate regeneration into nerve allografts. Nerve allografts from Balb/C mice, and isogenic nerve grafts (isografts) from C57/BL6 mice, were used to bridge a 7-mm gap of the sciatic nerve in C57/BL6 mice. Allograft recipients were treated with either a tr

Dose reduction and its influence on diagnostic accuracy and radiation risk in digital mammography: an observer performance study using an anthropomorphic breast phantom

This study aimed to investigate the effect of dose reduction on diagnostic accuracy and radiation risk in digital mammography. Simulated masses and microcalcifications were positioned in an anthropomorphic breast phantom. Thirty digital images, 14 with lesions, 16 without, were acquired of the phantom using a Mammomat Novation (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) at each of three dose levels. These corres

The Knowledge Arena : Approaching agroforestry and competing knowledge systems - a challenge for agricultural extension

Agriculture in many African countries is characterised by large diversity in production and great variation in growing conditions, irrigation potential and access to markets. This variation has proved to be a difficult matter when adjusting national agricultural policies and development projects to local conditions. In the face of the recent trend of less support for agricultural extension servic
