Welcome Home Mr Swanson : Swedish Emigrants and Swedishness on Film

Between 1840 and 1940, more than one million people emigrated from Sweden to America. The fact that so many chose to leave to seek a better life across the Atlantic was a major trauma for the Swedish nation. Filmmakers were not slow to pick up on an exodus that proved to be of lasting importance for the Swedes’ national identity. In Welcome Home Mr Swanson, film studies scholar Ann-Kristin Walleng

IS Evaluation in the Fusion View : An Emergence Perspective

Different theories have changed the way we address to technol-ogy. In the debate on the core of Information System (IS), El Sawy identi-fied three faces of IS views: connection, immersion, and fusion. El Sawy contends that it may be time for a natural shift of emphasis from the con-nection view to the immersion view to the fusion view as IT continues to morph and augment its capabilities. In the f

Structural Studies of Polyamine Biosynthesis Enzymes: Potential Targets for Drugs against Tropical Parasites

Two enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of polyamines, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC, from human and Leishmania donovani) and spermidine synthase (SPDS, from Plasmodium falciparum and Caenorhabditis elegans) were studied using biochemical methods, homology modelling and X-ray crystallography. ODC catalyses the first and committed step in polyamine biosynthesis, the decarboxylation of ornithine to

Institutional theory in international relations

The chapter traces the emergence of institutional approaches in International Relations (IR) theory, outlines three important areas of research on international institutions (sovereignty, international regimes and the EU), and suggests promising directions for future research. The review demonstrates that rational choice institutionalism, historical institutionalism and normative institutionalism,

Greening food supply chains: Analyzing the potential role of retailers in triggering/ensuring environmentally and socially responsible production of food

In order to meet the unprecedented challenge of feeding an increasing population while curbing associated environmental impacts a fundamental change in the current food system is required. Such a shift needs an active facilitator who could set and implement the sustainability agenda in the food supply chain. Recently, it has been argued that retailers might become a vital agent of change towards s

Storgårdar under vikingatid och tidigmedeltid.

The chapter analyzes the investigated archaeological remains of a number of large farms/manors in the city of Skänninge, in the province of Östergötland, Sweden. The authors discuss physical and social structures and echonomical foundation of the farms, and their role in the early phases of the (later) medieval town of Skänninge.

Doppler evaluation of coronary blood flow and coronary flow reserve - Clinical and experimental studies

Popular Abstract in Swedish Medfödda hjärtfel hos barn är förenade med en varierande kombination av förtjockning av hjärtmuskeln, volym- och tryckbelastning av hjärtat, samt nedsatt syremättnad i blodet. Hos barn med medfödda hjärtfel, och förvärvade hjärtsjukdomar ändringar i kranskärlsblodflödet uppstå och påverka hjärtfunktionen eller leda till hjärtinfarkt. En tillförlitlig non-invasiv metod bHeart diseases in children cause different combinations of myocardial hypertrophy, increased intra-ventricular pressures, volume overload and decreased oxygen saturation. This may affect basal coronary flow and the ability of the heart to maximally increase coronary flow. Transthoracic and intracoronary Doppler techniques were used to register coronary flow and coronary flow reserve (CFR) in norma

A manly queen with feminine charm. Intersectional perspectives on gender

Existential biography does not so much search for a logical development in a person’s life as for the opportunities to shape and choose between different paths. Instead of using identities, which are often ambiguous in the extreme, I follow the Swedish historian Henrik Rosengren in his use of different cultural identifications that together form an identity. Identifications are changeable and mani
