Popular Abstract in Swedish Vi vill bevara naturbetesmarker och deras skönhet, vilken bland annat utgörs av de olika växtarter som förekommer där. Men idag finns det tyvärr inte många betesmarker kvar. Naturbetesmarkerna har under de senaste två sekelerna försvunnit på grund av ökad eller minskad markanvändning, där betesmarker blivit omvandlade till antingen åkermark eller skog. Bristen på betesmLarge areas of grazed, species rich semi-natural grassland were lost in Europe during the last two centuries and as a consequence led to decreases in grassland specialist species. Therefore, today the “restoration” of grassland on previously arable fields is recommended for the protection of grassland specialists. Even “substitute habitats” for lost grasslands are discussed as temporary alternativ

The early Church was a narrative fellowship which narrativized the Jesus tradition and per-formed it from memory. It did so by using specific narrative and mnemonic forms of commu-nication. The chreia combines features of narrativity, oral performance, and memory and con-stituted a basic element of the narrative mosaic of the Church. The author of the Gospel of Mark indicates a broader pattern of

Purpose: To establish whether intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations contribute to the risk of developing glaucoma in patients with high-risk ocular hypertension. Methods: Ninety patients included in the Malmo Ocular Hypertension Study were examined every 3 months with office-hours diurnal tension curves and computerised perimetry. Patients were followed up prospectively for 10 years or until gla

The Baltic salmon has during the latter part of the 20th century been subjected to several threats. Most notable have been the high levels of contaminant release and a disease that causes early life mortality of the young. Ever since utilization of water power from the Swedish rivers began in the 1940ies, thus deminishing the natural breeding areas for the salmons, an extensive hatchery program ha

Drawing on debates in Sweden about Internet freedom, particularly those connected to copyright and file sharing, and on the European legislative trend of amending copyright, this chapter analyses metaphors and conceptions in terms of a societal paradigmatic shift and the collision of mentalities. Kuhnian paradigms are wedded with the mentalities of the French Annales School of historic research. T

Designed to meet the diverse needs of therapists, this book presents a new approach to rehabilitation that integrates ergonomics concepts to address the wide range of problems commonly encountered by professionals. The first section addresses general concepts such as anthropometry and tissue mechanics. The next section explores whole body biomechanics, demonstrating the ergonomic effects of physio

Retinoic acid (RA) is an important morphogen that regulates many biological processes, including the development of the central nervous system (CNS). Its synthesis from vitamin A (retinol) occurs in two steps, with the second reaction - catalyzed by retinal dehydrogenases (RALDHs) - long considered to be crucial for tissue-specific RA production in the embryo. We have recently identified the Xenop

En redogörelse för hur Kvinnovetenskaplig tidskrift bytte namn till Tidskrift för genusvetenskap när Cristine Sarrimo och Monika Edgren var redaktörer för tidskriften. I artikeln återges hur redaktionen resonerade kring namnbytet utifrån det genusvetenskapliga fältets förändring från ett tidigare fokus på kvinnor till ett breddat genusbegrepp.

Artikeln utreder hur ny kommunikationstekik genom 1900-talet förändrat människans förhållningssätt till det icke-materiella såsom ett liv efter döden och föreställningen om "andra sidan".
