Nine patients with spondylarthropathy (SpA) (6 with ankylosing spondylitis and 3 with psoriatic arthritis) who had not responded properly to conventional DMARD therapy were treated with 3 infusions (at 0, 2 and 6 weeks) of the TNF alpha inhibitor infliximab (3 mg/kg), in combination with methotrexate. To measure the effect of treatment, patients were evaluated before as well as 8 and 12 weeks afte
Holistic theories of meaning have, at least since Dummett’s Frege: The Philosophy of language, been assumed to be problematic from the perspective of the incremental nature of natural language learning. In this essay I argue that the general relationship between holism and language learning is in fact the opposite of that claimed by Dummett. It is only given a particular form of language learning,
Risk minimization is no longer a sufficient survival strategy for poor people in livelihood systems increasingly exposed to frequent extreme events. This calls for comprehensive adaptation to climate change. Within the climate change regime, adaptation is as central as mitigation but needs to be much more explicitly addressed at local, national and global levels. There is also a need for policy re
The main objective of this ethnological thesis is to investigate the linkage between everyday life with a genetic disease and intrinsic patterns of modernity. The thesis is a compilation thesis that contains four individual articles each addressing the everyday experience of a genetic disease from different angles, with different research questions and theoretical presumptions. Each of the four ar
Popular Abstract in Swedish Höftfraktur är en vanlig skada, som huvudsakligen drabbar äldre kvinnor, och oftast orsakas av ett ringa våld. Det är vanlig orsak till funktionsnedsättning, sjuklighet och dödlighet hos de äldre. Både incidensen (antal nya fall per antal innevånare och år) av höftfrakturer och det totala antalet har ökat de senaste årtiondena. Höftfrakturer medför stora kostnader för sHip fractures are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly patients, with a high risk of functional impairment and institutionalization. The incidence and number of hip fractures have increased during the recent decades and hip fractures consume considerable health-care resources. The incidence of hip fractures in Malmö, Sweden, 1992–95, is described in Paper I. The annual incidence pe
This study investigates the determinants of R&D expenditures in the Swedish pharmaceutical industry from the 1960s to the mid 1990s. Various proxies for the rate of return of R&D (e.g. expected profit, sales and R&D productivity) as well as the availability of internal funding (proxied by past cash flows) have been used as explanatory variables in time series regressions. Past cash flo
This issue of the AILA Review focuses on transdisciplinarity as the key to developing shared languages in and across domains and professional settings. The relationship and collaboration between researchers and practitioners have long been discussed within and across applied sciences and theoretical disciplines, mainly in the framework of transdisciplinarity (see AILA Review 31, 2018, for a recent

Towards stem cell based therapies for Parkinson's disease SPOTLIGHT Towards stem cell based therapies for Parkinson’s disease Malin Parmar* ABSTRACT Treating neurodegenerative diseases with cell transplantation has been within reach since the first pioneering clinical trials in which dopamine neuron progenitors from the fetal brain were transplanted to individuals with Parkinson’s disease. However
In the context of English marine insurance law, a warranty is a contractual obligation of the assured to perform a certain duty or to ascertain or to negate a certain state of facts. The Marine Insurance Act of 1906 (MIA) further establishes that a warranty must be exactly complied with and does not need to be material to the risk. Where the assured fails to fulfil the warranty, the insurer will b
The history of international human rights law shows that the articulation of human rights has often been scripted around the experiences of some rather than all. For example: men. As the creation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) has tried to address specifically the oppression of women, has this fragmentation of some rather than all repeated
Introduction The Universal Declaration of Human Rights includes all categories of human rights in one and the same instrument. The same approach has been followed in many subsequent human rights treaties, including, for example, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (African Charter). However, the two Covenants of 1966 – the Internatio
Better home care and home care technologies are no longer requested solely by nonimmigrant older adults but also by members of the fast-growing older adult immigrant population. However, limited attention has been given to this issue, or to the use of technology in meeting the needs of aging populations. The objective of this review is to map existing knowledge of older adult immigrants' use of in
Universities are expected to play a proactive role in the sustainable development andtransformation of their regions. However, they face external and internal barriers toplay that role. One possible approach to overcome those barriers is through trans-formative academic institutions (TAIs). TAIs are defined as research centres createdwithin universities to proactively engage in territorial develop
The aim of this chapter is to explore the safety value of implementing Asimov's Laws of Robotics as a future general framework that humans should obey. Asimov formulated laws to make explicit the safeguards of the robots in his stories: (1) A robot may not injure or harm a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm; (2) A robot must obey the orders given to it by human b
Det är vanligt förekommande att fysiska och juridiska personer vill minska sin beskattning. Det finns stor variation i förfaringssätt som medför minskad beskattning. Denna uppsats undersöker om dubbel skattefrihet kan uppstå vid hemvistbyte. Dubbel skattefrihet innebär att varken den nya eller tidigare hemviststaten beskattar personen. På så sätt blir vissa inkomster skattefria. Det har tidigare fIt is common that physical and legal entities want to reduce their taxation, and there are several processes available. This paper examines whether double exemption of tax can arise when changing residence. Double non-taxation means that neither the new nor previous state of residence will tax that entity. Some income will therefore be excluded from taxation. Such a process has previously been pos
En europeisk arresteringsorder (EAO) är ett rättsligt avgörande utfärdat av en EU-medlemsstat som riktar sig mot en annan medlemsstat och syftar till att den andra medlemsstaten ska gripa och överlämna en eftersökt person för lagföring, verkställighet av fängelsestraff eller annan frihetsberövande åtgärd. Systemet med överlämning genom EAO vilar på en hög grad av förtroende mellan medlemsstaterna.A European Arrest Warrant (EAW) is a judicial decision issued by an EU member state. The EAW is sent to another member state and aims to make the other member state arrest and transfer a criminal suspect. The person is then to face prosecution or enforcement of a custodial sentence in the issued member state. The system of transfer through European arrest warrants depend on a high level of confide
Den skeva könsfördelningen i bolagsstyrelser har hamnat i rampljuset för den svenska jämställdhetsdebatten. Debatten startade under 2000-talets första hälft och gav år 2016 upphov till ett lagförslag om könskvotering i bolagsstyrelser. Lagförslaget innebär att vardera kön ska representeras med minst 40 procent i börsbolagens styrelser och syftar till att öka jämställdheten inom både bolagsstyrelseThe gender imbalance in corporate boards has in the recent years been subject for debate in Swedish gender politics. The debate started in 2002 and has induced a legislative proposal on gender quotas. The proposal suggests that each gender should be represented by at least 40 percent of the board members and refers to establish a balance between men and women in corporate boards and on other leadi
Fenomenet idrott har historiskt sett åtnjutit en särställning rättsligt sett vilket inneburit att idrotten och dess organ själva har fått reglera sin verksamhet genom att stifta sina egna lagar och regler utan ingripande från övriga samhället. Anledningarna till denna självständiga normbildning är flera men utgår ofta från en föreställning om att idrott är ett sådant fenomen som inte lämpar sig atThe phenomenon of sport has historically enjoyed a special status in law, which has meant that sport and its organisations themselves have been regulating their activities by legislating their own laws and rules without interference from the rest of society. The reasons for this are several but are often based on the idea that sport is such a phenomenon that does not lend itself to be force into t
