Språkgemenskap, ny teknik och språkmöten
Artikeln diskuterar hur den nordiska språkgemenskapen påverkas av nutidasamhällsutveckling och framför allt av ny teknik. Denna påverkar våra språkmöten både på modersmålet och i det nordiska sammanhanget. Artikeln fokuserar på hur förändringarna påverkar våra språkmöten (i tal), och jag driver tesen att den nya tekniken på många punkter innebär tätare språkmöten med personer som vi redan känner o
One event, three investigations : The reproduction of a safety norm
Following an adverse event in a Swedish university hospital in 2010, three separate investigations seeking causal factors were conducted. We here review each of the analyses to see whether they together generate the kind of epistemological pluralism that could contribute to a systemic understanding of, and learning from, the event. Our content analysis shows that, while using vastly different amou
Information, trust and diffusion of smallpox vaccination : the case of Scania, Sweden 1802-1835
This study deals with the diffusion of a new medical technology — vaccination against smallpox — in nineteenth-century Scania in Sweden. Using an aggregated sample of parishes as well as a micro-level dataset for four parishes, we investigate the socioeconomic as well as the geographical patterns of diffusion of vaccination in the province. We also relate the adoption of vaccination across geograp
An obligatory role for neurotensin in high-fat-diet-induced obesity
Obesity and its associated comorbidities (for example, diabetes mellitus and hepatic steatosis) contribute to approximately 2.5 million deaths annually and are among the most prevalent and challenging conditions confronting the medical profession. Neurotensin (NT; also known as NTS), a 13-amino-acid peptide predominantly localized in specialized enteroendocrine cells of the small intestine and rel
Outcome of surgery for end-stage ankle arthritis
Effects of anti- vs. pro-vaccine narratives on responses by recipients varying in numeracy : A cross-sectional survey-based experiment
Background. To inform their health decisions, patients may seek narratives describing other patients' evaluations of their treatment experiences. Narratives can provide anti-treatment or pro-treatment evaluative meaning that low-numerate patients may especially struggle to derive from statistical information. Here, we examined whether anti-vaccine (v. pro-vaccine) narratives had relatively stronge

Critical Participation in Controversial Urban Development Projects
Transcriptome analysis of a wild bird reveals physiological responses to the urban environment
Identifying the molecular basis of environmentally induced phenotypic variation presents exciting opportunities for furthering our understanding of how ecological processes and the environment can shape the phenotype. Urban and rural environments present free-living organisms with different challenges and opportunities, which have marked consequences for the phenotype, yet little is known about re

HIV-2 Infection : The Role of Immune Activation in Pathogenesis
Feedback: an Architectural Interpretation of a Painting by Meret Opppenheim
Microbial Translocation Correlates with the Severity of Both HIV-1 and HIV-2 Infections
Microbial translocation has been linked to systemic immune activation during human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 infection. Here, we show that an elevated level of microbial translocation, measured as plasma lipopolysaccharide (LPS) concentration, correlates with AIDS in both individuals infected with HIV type 1 and individuals infected with HIV type 2. LPS concentration also correlates with
An independent evaluation of a new method for automated interpretation of lung scintigrams using artificial neural networks
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new automated method for the interpretation of lung perfusion scintigrams using patients from a hospital other than that where the method was developed, and then to compare the performance of the technique against that of experienced physicians. A total of 1,087 scintigrams from patients with suspected pulmonary embolism comprised the training group. The
Autonomous Interpretation of Demonstrations for Modification of Dynamical Movement Primitives
The concept of dynamical movement primitives (DMPs) has become popular for modeling of motion, commonly applied to robots. This paper presents a framework that allows a robot operator to adjust DMPs in an intuitive way. Given a generated trajectory with a faulty last part, the operator can use lead-through programming to demonstrate a corrective trajectory. A modified DMP is formed, based on the f
Chemogenetic stimulation of striatal projection neurons modulates responses to Parkinson's disease therapy
Parkinson's disease (PD) patients experience loss of normal motor function (hypokinesia), but can develop uncontrollable movements known as dyskinesia upon treatment with L-DOPA. Poverty or excess of movement in PD has been attributed to overactivity of striatal projection neurons forming either the indirect (iSPNs) or the direct (dSPNs) pathway, respectively. Here, we investigated the two pathway
