Malthusian Progress

Popular Abstract in English The dissertation offers two key contributions. The first is a theoretical demonstration that, even though a Malthusian society is inherently stagnant in the sense that sustained economic growth is absent, scattered advances in technology can permanently raise the long-term wage rate. The key reason why new technology can have a short-term as well as a long-term (i.e. peSome scholars maintain that pre-industrial England was held in a Malthusian ‘trap’, and that this trap prevented the sustained growth of real wages until as late as 1800. Opponents to this view argue that the structural transformations occurring in preindustrial England – urbanization, labour reallocation between sectors, and human capital investments – are features of development that are incompa

Rac1 regulates pancreatic islet morphogenesis.

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic islets of Langerhans originate from endocrine progenitors within the pancreatic ductal epithelium. Concomitant with differentiation of these progenitors into hormone-producing cells such cells delaminate, aggregate and migrate away from the ductal epithelium. The cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating islet cell delamination and cell migration are poorly understood. Ex

Hässleberga – a Late Palaeolithic kill site in Scania, Sweden, confirmed by analysis of bone modifications

Late glacial skeletal remains from mainly reindeer and wild horse, but also other species such as mountain hare, arctic fox and elk have been collected from kettle holes in Hässleberga, Scania. Bones from reindeer and wild horse have been radiocarbon dated to Allerød and Younger Dryas. Analysis of bone modifications has revealed several different actors and factors behind the accumulation of the s

Film Workshops as Polyvocal Public Spheres: Minor Cinemas in Sweden

Film workshop culture is a neglected phenomenon in film history and research.This essay arguments that the film workshops that flourished in the 1960s, 70s and the 80s, often constituted public spheres in the sense of Habermas, Negt and Kluge. Focusing on the Swedish Film Workshop, Filmverkstan (1973-2001), the essay shows that films at the workshops were made because they were in resonance with t

The effects of platelet transfusions evaluated using rotational thromboelastometry.

BACKGROUND: In this study, we assessed the immediate effects of platelet transfusion on whole blood coagulation. METHODS: Ten thrombocytopenic patients given a single unit platelet transfusion of 200-300 x 10(9) platelets had their coagulation status assessed before and immediately after transfusion using rotational thromboelastometry. RESULTS: Transfusion increased the median platelet count from

Frequency of MELAS main mutation in a phenotype-targeted young ischemic stroke patient population.

Mitochondrial diseases, predominantly mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS), may occasionally underlie or coincide with ischemic stroke (IS) in young and middle-aged individuals. We searched for undiagnosed patients with MELAS in a target subpopulation of unselected young IS patients enrolled in the Stroke in Young Fabry Patients study (sifap1). Among t

Effect of Barium Sulfate Contrast Medium on Rheology and Sensory Texture Attributes in a Model Food.

Background: The swallowing process can be visualized using videoradiography, by mixing food with contrast medium, e.g., barium sulfate (BaSO(4)), making it radiopaque. The sensory properties of foods may be affected by adding this medium. Purpose: To evaluate if and to what extent sensory and rheological characteristics of mango puree were altered by adding barium sulfate to the food. Material and

Samvete och samvetsfrihet : en analys av samvetskonflikter i det svenska samhället och av begreppen samvete och samvetsfrihet.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen har flera uppgifter, som på olika sätt hör ihop. Den första uppgiften går ut på att undersöka samvetskonflikter i det svenska samhället. I denna typ av konflikt är samvete och samvetsfrihet centrala begrepp och de är viktiga för att förstå och ta ställning i konflikterna. Den andra uppgiften blir därför att undersöka och förstå begreppet samvete och ge ett The aim of this study is to describe and analyse four conflicts and two concepts. Four conflicts of conscience found in Swedish society are studied in the second chapter. 2.2 - the state’s requirement that all male citizens do military service and the citizen’s right to refuse to do military service. 2.3 - obligatory course requirements and the college student’s right to refuse participation in c

Social simulator project

The work carried out in the Social Simulator Project focused on development of the social simulator tool. Methods for making use of the tool were also examined. The tool consists of two computer software programs, one for viewing social scenarios and one
