Germaine de Staël and the narrative(s) of her alter-ego Corinne : The example of Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun’s portrait

The Swiss/French writer and political thinker Germaine de Staël (1766–1817) was the daughter of Mme Necker and M. Necker, both of Swiss origin and Protestants. Before the revolution her father had been minister of finance and her mother used to host of one most important salon in Paris. Mme de Staël, as she was called after the marriage in 1786 with the Swedish ambassador to France, Carl-Magnus deThe Swiss/French writer and political thinker Germaine de Staël (1766–1817) was the daughter of Mme and M.

Nanoparticle effect on neutrophil produced myeloperoxidase

Nanoparticles affect the immune system as they may interact directly with immune cells and activate them. However, it is possible that nanoparticles also interact with released cytokines and immunologically active enzymes. To test this hypothesis, the activity of myeloperoxidase released from activated neutrophils was measured in the presence of nanoparticles with different chemistry and size. In

Habitat heterogeneity induces rapid changes in the feeding behaviour of generalist arthropod predators

The "habitat heterogeneity hypothesis" predicts positive effects of structural complexity on species coexistence. Increasing habitat heterogeneity can change the diversity (number of species, abundances) and the functional roles of communities. The latter, however, is not well understood as species and individuals may respond very differently and dynamically to a changing environment. Here, we exp

Metabolic and functional phenotypic profiling of Drosophila melanogaster reveals reduced sex differentiation under stressful environmental conditions

Strong sexual dimorphism is commonly observed across species and, e.g., trade-offs between reproduction and maintenance are thought to explain this dimorphism. Here we test how the metabolic and functional phenotypic responses to varying types of environmental stress differ in male and female Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera: Drosophilidae), and how stress impacts the magnitude of sexual dimorphis

Guilt and Identity. An Autobiographical Incentive in Christian Tradition with Special Emphasis on the Female Moravian Lebenslauf

En väsentlig drivkraft i företaget att skriva en självbiografi är erfarenheten av skuld - som kan bekännas eller avvisas, och i båda fallen kan denna förbindas med en bestämning av identiteten. Man försvarar sig eller bekänner genom att visa vem man är - detta via berättelsen om ett liv. Mekanismen är vanlig i kristen tradition (Augustinus, Pierre Abélard) och återfinns bl a hos kvinnor, bland ann

Influence of the rotor configuration on the electrostatic charging of helicopters

A helicopter flying through an atmosphere containing particulates may accumulate high electrostatic charges that can challenge its operational safety. In this paper the influence of the helicopter configuration on its electrification is reported. The current study is based on a recently developed numerical approach in which the turbulent airflow around the rotorcraft is estimated via large-eddy si

Seasonal variation in the thermal responses to changing environmental temperature in the world's northernmost land bird

Arctic homeotherms counter challenges at high latitudes using a combination of seasonal adjustments in pelage/plumage, fat deposition and intricate thermoregulatory adaptations. However, there are still gaps in our understanding of their thermal responses to cold, particularly in Arctic birds. Here, we have studied the potential use of local heterothermy (i.e. tissue cooling that can contribute to

Evaporation of sulfate aerosols at low relative humidity

Evaporation of sulfuric acid from particles can be important in the atmospheres of Earth and Venus. However, the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of H2SO4 to bisulfate ions, which is the one of the fundamental parameters controlling the evaporation of sulfur particles, is not well constrained. In this study we explore the volatility of sulfate particles at very low relative humidity. We m

A systems biology analysis connects insulin receptor signaling with glucose transporter translocation in rat adipocytes

Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, which arises from malfunctions in the intracellular insulin signaling network. Knowledge of the insulin signaling network is fragmented, and because of the complexity of this network, little consensus has emerged for the structure and importance of the different branches of the network. To help overcome this complexity, systems biology mathem

Factor graph based simultaneous localization and mapping using multipath channel information

Radio-based localization has the potential to provide centimeter-level position information. In this paper we apply joint probabilistic data association to multipath-assisted simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) for this purpose. In multipath-assisted localization, position-related information in multipath components (MPCs) is exploited to increase the accuracy and robustness of indoor tra

Hypogonadism in testicular cancer patients is associated with risk factors of cardiovascular disease and the metabolic syndrome

More than 95% of testicular cancer are cured but they are at increased long-term risk of cardiovascular disease. The risk of cardiovascular disease and treatment intensity was reported, but it is unknown whether this effect of cancer therapy is direct or indirect, mediated through androgen deficiency. Our aim was, therefore, to evaluate whether testicular cancer patients have increased the prevale

Utilization of genetic data can improve the prediction of type 2 diabetes incidence in a Swedish cohort

The aim of this study was to measure the impact of genetic data in improving the prediction of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study cohort. The current study was performed in 3,426 Swedish individuals and utilizes of a set of genetic and environmental risk data. We first validated our environmental risk model by comparing it to both the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score and the T2D r

Shaping NPM : Social democratic values at work

In this chapter, New Public Management (NPM) reforms are discussed, with focus on the Swedish public sector. The purpose is to question assumptions concerning the emergence of NPM within a Swedish context. A historical review reveals that reforms within the Swedish public sector express a heavy influence from the private sector; the idea of letting business and commercial logics guide the rational

What about the boards? : Issues of transparency and accountability in board composition

Sweden is generally regarded as a country with little corruption, equal rights for men and women and a strong emphasis on democratic values. Still, the appointment of political representatives to the boards of municipal corporations occurs without consideration of these values. One step towards increasing our knowledge about the governance of municipal corporations in Sweden is to look at how curr
