This paper addresses the issue of gendered identity as presented in Charlotte Brontë's first and last novels, The Professor and Villette. As both of these novels are fictional autobiographies, and as the former is narrated by a man and the latter by a woman, they serve as good objects of analysis in that each of them represents its narrator’s understanding of him- or herself. Taking nineteenth

In an era of economic globalization shaped by hegemonic capitalism, resistance movements introduce different alternatives for a life beyond capitalism. The powerful and dominant system logic criticizes such movements for being utopian dreamers with no pragmatic sense of plausible social change. The 'ontology of the possible' for emancipatory social change is dominated by the coloniality of

Cystitis is a bacterial infection of the bladder that occurs in about half of women at least once in their lifetime. Antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin are used to treat cystitis, but antibiotic resistance is a concern, especially for recurrent infections. Here we report an open-label, randomized, single-centre, phase 2 study to analyse the acute and long-term safety and efficacy of the IL-1 recep

In this work, we present a simple yet effective framework to address the domain translation problem between different sensor modalities with unique data formats. By relying only on the semantics of the scene, our modular generative framework can, for the first time, synthesize a panoramic color image from a given full 3D LiDAR point cloud.The framework starts with semantic segmentation of the poin

This essay argues that the concept of global responsibility, as articulated in the works of Karl Jaspers and Hans Jonas, was anticipated in Günther Anders' 1956 opus, Die Antiquiertheit des Menschen. By tracing the phases of Anders' negative anthropology—from his pathology of freedom to the Promethean differential andhis critique of what he considers to be an annihilistic Western stance—I examine

INTRODUCTION: Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) faced an elevated risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes and were prioritized for early vaccination. However, immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines remain poorly characterized in this group, especially in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor PD-1/PDL-1 (ICI) therapy.MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this prospective observational study,

BACKGROUND: Prognostication of recovery in patients who are unconscious following cardiac arrest can be guided by concentrations of brain injury biomarkers in the blood. The optimal biomarker and cutoff concentrations for the prediction of outcome remain unknown. In this study, we aimed to evaluate which biomarker of brain injury is most accurate for predicting functional outcome after cardiac arr

This article explores the intricate relation between translation and the Nobel Prize in Literature through the lens of a special case: the 1939 award to Finnish novelist Frans Eemil Sillanpää. The discussions in the Nobel committee, and the decision of the Swedish Academy to select Sillanpää for the prize, were deeply affected by the long and complicated political and cultural history of neighbors

Background & objectives: Human and animal cystatins have been shown to inhibit the replication of certain viruses and bacteria, though it is not directly demonstrated that the effects are due to protease inhibitory capacity of the cystatins. We report antibacterial properties of a novel antimicrobial peptidyl derivative, (2S)-2-(N-alpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-arginyl-leucylamido)-1-(E)-cinnamoyla m

Mouse models of asthma are now being used extensively in drug research. However, the successful unravelling of combinatorial interplays of cells and molecules in the murine airways may not be matched by equally successful demonstrations of an asthma-like pathophysiology. Here, Carl Persson, Jonas Erjefalt, Magnus Korsgren and Frank Sundler discuss the fact that major features of asthma may still n

Complement analysis in the clinic is usually associated with the quantification of C3 and C4, measurement of C1-inhibitor and screening for complement activity. These analyses have been available in routine diagnostic laboratories for decades. In recent years, however, the field of complement analysis has expanded considerably, with the introduction of novel assays to detect complement activation

Chemical shifts of protons can report on metabolic transformations such as the conversion of choline to phosphocholine. To follow such processes in vivo, magnetization can be enhanced by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). We have hyperpolarized in this manner nitrogen-15 spins in (15)N-labeled choline up to 3.3% by irradiating the 94 GHz electron spin resonance of admixed TEMPO nitroxide radicals

Optimization of islet transplantation protocols is necessary for improved success of treatment for type 1 diabetes. Here, we investigated whether the size of islets transplanted into the portal vein (PV) of the liver can affect engraftment in the early post-transplantation in an experimental mouse model. Small (average diameter < 250 mu m, group A) or large (average diameter > 250 mu m, group B) i

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett grundantagande för avhandlingen Klassrummet som muntlig arena. Att bygga och etablera ethos är att en människa som med trovärdighet vill kunna verka som en demokratisk medborgare i olika kommunikationssituationer måste besitta kommunikativ kompetens. Följaktligen hänger demokrati och kommunikativ kompetens tätt samman. En viktig trovärdighetsfaktor i sammanhanget ärThe Class Room as an Oral Arena: Building and Establishing Ethos starts with the premise that every person who wants to act credibly as a democratic citizen must have a communicative competence. Democracy and communicative competence are closely linked. To communicate credibly is to communicate with ethos. The purpose of this dissertation is to study how students in Swedish gymnasium build and est

Color affects us both consciously and subconsciously, and can create actions and reactions: biological (colorful males to attract females in the animal world), psychological (the use of warm colors or cool colors to effect a specific mood), symbolic (specific colors for weddings and mourning), religious (blue, saffron), emotional (expressionism in art), social (pink and blue infant clothing) or pu

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor i Sverige. Årligen drabbas 7000 kvinnor i Sverige och cirka 1500 kvinnor dör av sin sjukdom. Bröstcancer uppkommer genom ett samspel mellan livsstil, miljö och gener. En kvinna som har en förstagradssläkting (t.ex. syster, mor) med bröstcancer har ungefär dubbelt så stor risk att drabbas av bröstcancer jämfört med eApproximately 7000 women are diagnosed and 1500 women die from breast cancer in Sweden every year. The aim of this thesis was to study the interplay of polymorphisms, hormone levels, lifestyle, and the use of concomitant medication in relation to risk and prognosis in two cohorts: one composed of young healthy women from high-risk breast cancer families and the other of breast cancer patients fro
