This article explores the ever-shifting semantics and semiotics of the concept “indígena” in the Bolivian Andes, and argues that “indigeneity” is charged with different meanings by different actors in changing contexts of territorial and social struggles and state governance. The article focuses on the discourse and politics of the indigenous Andean organization CONAMAQ and its response to changi

Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva och analysera sponsringsverksamhetens utveckling och potential för att se vilken betydelse verksamhetens rykte som en bidragsverksamhet har för utvecklingen av sponsring till en affärsverksamhet. Vi har i samband med detta även tittat på vilka nya krav denna utveckling ställer på elitidrottsföreningar. De teorier vi har använt oss av för att analysera klubb

Transition from the planned economy to opened market economy is recognized as necessary process for the countries that have aim to grow. This process is demanding and complicated and it includes economic, institutional and social changes. Purpose of this work is to examine if changes that happened during still lasting transition helped Serbia to grow. The improvements are recorded since country en

In the midst of the economic turbulence around Europe today, the European currency has been put to its greatest test so far. Now more than ever, an assessment of the euro is needed. The purpose of the paper is therefore to re-assess the euro’s effect on trade and to estimate and compare the individual Member States’ effects. This has been done with bilateral intra-EU trade data and estimated with

Solens påverkan på klimatet är ett hett ämne i dagens klimatdebatt och utgör en av de största osäkerheterna i vår kunskap om klimatsystemet. Det finns flera sätt som förändringar i solaktivitet skulle kunna påverka klimatet på. En av de föreslagna länkarna mellan solaktivitet och klimat är att den galaktiska kosmiska strålningen (GCR) påverkar bildningen av låga moln. På grund av att låga moln harThe solar influence on climate is a hot topic in today’s climate debate and constitutes one of the largest uncertainties in our knowledge about the climate system. There are several ways in which solar activity changes could affect climate. One of the suggested links between solar activity and climate is an influence from galactic cosmic rays (GCR) on the formation of low clouds. Because of the ne

Obesity impairs the relaxant capacity of adipose tissue surrounding the vasculature (PVAT) and has been implicated in resultant obesity-related hypertension and impaired glucose intolerance. Resident immune cells are thought to regulate adipocyte activity. We investigated the role of eosinophils in mediating normal PVAT function. Healthy PVAT elicits an anti-contractile effect, which was lost in m

Neurodegenerative disorders are often associated with metabolic alterations. This has received little attention, but might be clinically important because it can contribute to symptoms and influence the course of the disease. Patients with Huntington's disease (HD) exhibit increased incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM). This is replicated in mouse models of HD, e.g., the R6/2 mouse, in which DM is

One of the key claims I have defended previously is that longstanding arguments over whether concepts are either (mental) representations or(non-representational) abilities gets its premises fundamentally wrong: concepts must be both. When one reflects on them – when one considers one’s concepts as concepts – they just are representations; but when one possesses and employs them non-reflectively t

Objective. Collagenous colitis (CC) and lymphocytic colitis (LC) are two subtypes of microscopic colitis (MC). Even though they most often are described as different entities they share many clinical and histological features. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of conversion between CC and LC in a larger cohort of patients. Materials and methods. All 664 patients in our Pathol
