Xyloside-primed chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate from breast carcinoma cells with a defined disaccharide composition has cytotoxic effects in vitro

We have previously reported that the xyloside 2-(6-hydroxynaphthyl) β-D-xylopyranoside (XylNapOH), in contrast to 2-naphthyl β-D-xylopyranoside (XylNap), specifically reduces tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. Although there are indications that this could be mediated by the xyloside-primed glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and that these differ in composition depending on xyloside and cell type, det

A Framework for Strategic Communication Research : A Call for Synthesis and Consilience

This essay suggests that the conceptualization of strategic communication as a field uniting several disciplines was an important step forward, but progress in absolute terms has been disappointing so far. Individual researchers open up new avenues of exploration and regularly arrive at answers to questions internally consistent with their respective perspectives. But the body of reasonably verifi

Why can't I sit with my friend ? The complexity in diverse anti-discriminatory practices in school.

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child state that in all actions concerning children the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration. Children are capable of forming their own views and have the right to express those views freely. The school plays an important role in empowering children in this socialization process and Swedish schools have in its educational assignment a

Hierarchical Predictive Control for Ground-Vehicle Maneuvering

This paper presents a hierarchical approach to feedback-based trajectory generation for improved vehicle autonomy. Hierarchical vehicle-control structures have been used before—for example, in electronic stability control systems, where a low-level control loop tracks high-level references. Here, the control structure includes a nonlinear vehicle model already at the high level to generate optimiz

Discrepancies between cortical and behavioural long-term readouts of hyperalgesia in awake freely moving rats

BACKGROUND: It is still unclear to what extent the most common animal models of pain and analgesia, based on indirect measures such as nocifensive behaviours, provide valid measures of pain perception.METHODS: To address this issue, we developed a novel animal model comprising a more direct readout via chronically (>1 month) implanted multichannel electrodes (MCE) in rat primary somatosensory cort

Embedded Ultrathin Cluster Electrodes for Long-Term Recordings in Deep Brain Centers

Neural interfaces which allow long-term recordings in deep brain structures in awake freely moving animals have the potential of becoming highly valuable tools in neuroscience. However, the recording quality usually deteriorates over time, probably at least partly due to tissue reactions caused by injuries during implantation, and subsequently micro-forces due to a lack of mechanical compliance be

Financialisation of the Built Environment in Stockholm and Copenhagen

This paper investigates financialisation of built environments in Stockholmand Copenhagen, especially within the sphere of housing. It presents empiricalanalyses of processes of financialisation of built environments in the two cities, and how these processes relate to urban politics and governance. The case studies include analyses of how financialisation of built environments and associated shif

The Ballad Dance of the Faeroese: Island Biocultural Geography in an Age of Globalisation

Boundary issues are central to globalisation – the expansion and time-space integration of human societies – and to both biological and cultural diversity. The latter are, in turn, intrinsically related in processes of coevolution that generate change in the patchwork quilt of cultural and natural landscapes. These processes are especially discernible in small island societies. This paper argues t

Book Reviews 2015

This section contains three book reviews. First the book Swedish Taxation, Development since 1862 is reviewed. This volume comprises six studies that examine the development of Swedish taxation from 1862 to 2013, and will likely be of great value in future Nordic tax research because of its comprehensiveness. The second review is about a book written in Swedish:Momsfri sjukvård (The VAT exemption

The Impact of Classroom Practices on Young Learners' Acquisition of Subject-Verb Agreement in Vietnam : a Pilot Study

Researchers have long emphasized the importance of classroominteraction for enhancing foreign language learning (Carroll 1967; Chihara& Oller, 1987; Krashen, Butler, Birkbaum, & Robertson 1978; Krashen &Seliger, 1976). This pilot study attempts to see how English teaching and learning methods in Vietnamese classrooms affect young learners’acquisition of English subject-verb agreement i
