Johannes Paulus II som filosof
Artikeln är en populärt hållen översikt och sammanfattning av påven Johannes Paulus II:s/Karol Wojtylas filosofi. Han var skolad i och influerad av såväl thomismen som fenomenologin och bidrog med ett eget verk "The Acting Person" i den fenomenologiska traditionen.

Adiposity in children born small for gestational age is associated with β-cell function, genetic variants for insulin resistance and response to growth hormone treatment.
Genetic susceptibility to insulin resistance is associated with lower adiposity in adults. Insulin resistance, and therefore adiposity, may alter sensitivity to Growth Hormone (GH). We aimed to determine the relationship between adiposity, genetic susceptibility to insulin resistance or insulin secretion, and response to GH treatment in short children born small for gestational age (SGA).
Prepulse dependence of X-ray emission from plasmas created by IR femtosecond laser pulses on solids
We report a strong prepulse dependence of the emission of X-rays from plasmas created by 150 fs Ti:sapphire laser pulses on solids. The laser pulses were focused onto plane samples of aluminium and vanadium with a main pulse power density of about 2.5 x 10(16) W cm(-2). By splitting off a portion of the main pulse we were able to generate a prepulse whose delay and intensity were variable relative
Effects of clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation.
Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa is often found in chronic infections, including cystic fibrosis lung infections and those related to chronic wounds and venous ulcers. At the latter sites, P. aeruginosa can be isolated together with Staphylococcus epidermidis, and we have therefore explored the effect of clinical isolates and laboratory strains of P. aeruginosa strains on colonization by S. epiderm
Determination of Radiative Lifetimes In Neutral Nitrogen Using Short Laser-pulses From A Distributed Feedback Dye-laser
Radiative lifetimes were determined for two short-lived states in neutral nitrogen. Following photodissociation and two-photon excitation employing the same UV source, excitation to higher states was performed with a distributed feedback dye laser (DFDL). The lifetimes were found to be tau(2p2 4d4D7/2) = 17(3) ns and tau(2p2 5s4P5/2) = 22(3) ns.
Compact fiber-optic fluorosensor using a continuous-wave violet diode laser and an integrated spectrometer
A compact fluorosensor with a fiber-optic measurement probe was developed, employing a continuous-wave violet diode laser as an exciting source and an integrated digital spectrometer for the monitoring of fluorescence signatures. The system has the dimensions 22x13x8 cm(3), and features 5 nm spectral resolution and an excellent detectivity. Results from measurements on vegetation and human premali
Sex differences in sand lizard telomere inheritance: paternal epigenetic effects increases telomere heritability and offspring survival
BACKGROUND: To date, the only estimate of the heritability of telomere length in wild populations comes from humans. Thus, there is a need for analysis of natural populations with respect to how telomeres evolve. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here, we show that telomere length is heritable in free-ranging sand lizards, Lacerta agilis. More importantly, heritability estimates analysed within, a

Identification of bacterial and fungal components in tobacco and tobacco smoke.
ABSTRACT: The microbiological composition of tobacco products was studied using culture and chemical analysis (of tobacco leaves) or chemical analysis only (tobacco and tobacco smoke). The chemical analyses utilized gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for determining 3-hydroxy fatty acids, muramic acid, and ergosterol as markers of respectively lipopolysaccharide (LPS), peptidoglycan, and
Economic value of smoking cessation therapies: a critical and systematic review of simulation-generated evidence
In vivo production of thromboxane and prostacyclin in patients following total hip arthroplasty.
The in vivo production of thromboxane and prostacyclin was studied by measurements of their major urinary metabolites in eight patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Specific methods based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were used to measure the urinary excretion of 2,3-dinor-TxB2 and 2,3-dinor-6-keto-PGF1 alpha. The excretion of these metabolites increased about 10-fold during the in

Statin Use and Breast Cancer Risk in the Nurses' Health Study.
Preclinical studies support an anticancer effect of statin drugs, yet epidemiologic evidence remains inconsistent regarding their role in breast cancer primary prevention. Here, we report an updated analysis of the association between statin use and breast cancer incidence in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) cohort. Postmenopausal NHS participants without a cancer history were followed from 2000 unt

Ekonomisk tillväxt i välfärdskapitalismen : En jämförande studie av BNP per capita-tillväxten i rika OECD-länder 1970-2000
Popular AbstractI början på 1990-talet drabbades Sverige av en mycket djup ekonomisk kris. Den svenska nittiotalskrisen uppfattades inte som en tillfällig konjunkturnedgång utan som symptom på grundläggande systemfel i Sveriges ekonomi. Många bedömare menade att den s.k. svenska modellen med stor välfärdsstat och höga skatter hade försämrat marknadsekonomins effektivitet och gjort att Sverige undeIn the early 1990s, Sweden was hit by a profound economic crisis. The Swedish crisis of the nineties was not perceived as a temporary recession, but rather as a fundamental and systemic fault in Swedish economy. Many commentators held that the Swedish model with a large welfare state and high taxes had impaired Sweden's economic performance. The aim of this thesis is to empirically assess the hypo
