Tracing the Sex of Big Data (or configuring digital consumers)
This chapter examines discourses on the digitalization of consumption based on field work conducted at some of the many trade fairs for e-commerce that pop up every year in different cities all over Europe. It builds on studying the role played by consumer research in the performative enactment of consumer subjectivities. The chapter focuses on how consumer subjectivities are constructed and how p
Evolution of cold tolerance in the highly stress-tolerant samphires and relatives (Salicornieae: Amaranthaceae)
Low temperature constitutes one of the main barriers to plant distributions, confining many clades to their ancestrally tropical biome. However, recent evidence suggests that transitions from tropical to temperate biomes may be more frequent than previously thought. Here, we study the evolution of cold and frost tolerance in the globally distributed and highly stress-tolerant Salicornieae (Salicor

Looking for the oldest diatoms
Paleontological observations of ancient flora and fauna provide powerful insights into past diversity and relationshipdynamics between organisms and their environments. Diatoms are globally distributed protists thatinfluence major biogeochemical cycles and sustain oceanic food webs. The fossil diatom record extends 120million years back to the Early Cretaceous where rare deposits were discovered w

Betrayal : Towards a Sociology of Threachery
Betrayal often hits the very foundations of socials bonds: the loyalty of the “We” that we have assumed and taken for granted is broken. This chapter will begin with a discussion of the meaning of betrayal where it is argued that betrayal is a breach of trust, when information is shared, or actions initiated beyond an agreed upon boundary of relations.The image of betrayal is associated with moral
The Virtue of Being Disagreeable
Quickfallet - Kan det hända igen?
Podcast "Öppet fall" från Lunds universitet, Juridiska fakulteten: Det har gått tio år sedan Sture Bergwall friades från de åtta mord som han dömdes för när han hette Thomas Quick. Vad har det svenska rättssystemet lärt sig av Quickfallet? Kan det hända igen?

The function and consequences of fluorescence in tetrapods
Fluorescence, the optical phenomenon whereby short-wavelength light is absorbed and emitted at longer wavelengths, has been widely described in aquatic habitats, in both invertebrates and fish. Recent years have seen a stream of articles reporting fluorescence, ranging from frogs, platypus, to even fully terrestrial organisms such as flying squirrels, often explicitly or implicitly linking the pre
Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy for a Degenerative Meniscus Tear Is Not Cost Effective Compared With Placebo Surgery : An Economic Evaluation Based on the FIDELITY Trial Data
BACKGROUND: In patients with a degenerative tear of the medial meniscus, recent meta-analyses and systematic reviews have shown no treatment benefit of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) over conservative treatment or placebo surgery. Yet, advocates of APM still argue that APM is cost effective. Giving advocates of APM their due, we note that there is evidence from the treatment of other musc
Covalent Binding of an NAD Analogue to Liver Alcohol Dehydrogenase Resulting in an Enzyme-Coenzyme Complex not Requiring Exogenous Coenzyme for Activity
1. The NAD analogue, N6-[N-(6-aminohexyl)carbamoylmethyl]-NAD, was covalently bound to horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase in a carbodiimide-mediated reaction and in such a way that it was active with the very same enzyme molecule to which it was coupled. 2. The degree of substitution, i.e. the number of NAD analogues per enzyme subunit, could be varied (0.3 - 1.6). In one preparation 1.6 coenzyme m
Steroid Conversion Using Immobilized Living Microorganisms
In steroid transformations some of the advantages of immobilized microorganisms seem to be especially important, since the manufacture of steroid drugs often involves very expensive intermediates and products (1). Therefore, we have been studying two corticosteroid transformations. The first reaction is an 11-β-hydroxylation catalyzed by free or polyacrylamide immobilized Curvularia lunata, pr
Preparation of an Active Soluble Lactate Dehydrogenase-Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Complex Using Glutaraldehyde
The cofactor analogue N6-((6-aminohexyl)-carbamoylmethyl)-NAD was bound to beef heart lactate dehydrogenase by the glutaraldehyde coupling method and the enzyme-coenzyme complex subsequently separated from excess of non-coupled cofactor by gel filtration chromatography. The number of cofactor molecules bound per enzyme molecule could be varied between 0 and 8 by altering the coupling time. The enz
Synthesis of the bifuncttonal dinucleotide AMP-ATP and its application in general ligand affinity chromatography
A new AMP derivative substituted with spacer arms both at position N6 and C8 of the adenine moiety was synthesized and immobilized to Sepharose. To the immobilized ligand was subsequently coupled C8-substituted ATP in a solid-phase synthesis fashion yielding the bifunctional general ligand AMP-ATP. This affinity material was used in the separation of two major groups of enzymes, dehydrogenases and
