In this essay, I discuss two major theoretical discourses of modernity, namely, of classical modernity and postmodernity. Moreover, I aim at a proposition of a possible historical relation between those two discourses of crucial importance to modernity’s intellectual history. This historical connection is founded on what I call the principle of insufficient reason. The principle of insufficient
The diffusion of digital technologies has strongly affected the way scholars and researchers use and perceive the archaeological information detected during the field investigation process. Archaeologists are still only beginning to realize the full potential of these applications beyond the attraction of providing visually engaging documentation and focus on the analytical and interpretive power.
The end of the Cold War and the subsequent dismantling of the Soviet Union has brought about fundamental changes in the Baltic Sea region in the last decade. In view of these developments, this article addresses two central questions when it comes to Baltic Sea security—how can the current peace in the Baltic Sea region be characterized and what are the prospects and problems involved in achieving
This paper describes a long term, high-resolution study of the activityof the Perseid meteor stream based on visual and radar observations atthe Onsala Space Observatory in Sweden. The data consists of 147 visualhourly rates and 1368 radar hourly rates. In a previous paper (Lindblad2000) a high-resolution study of the visual zenithal hourly rates ofbright Perseid meteors versus solar longitude was
The purpose of this thesis is to identify patents invented by researchers at Lund University, to describe the university inventors,and to understand the main factors that influence their patenting activities. The analysis focuses on inventors in relation to their environment. A number of factors influence scientists’ decisions to patent. Internal factors related to individuals such as solving the
This thesis is based upon four original papers describing the characterisation of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) tumours and cell lines in comparison with different populations of normal B cells. Gene expression profiling, which were used in the studies, has during recent years developed as an important tool in characterisation of different types of malignancies. In this thesis, the technique is used

Popular Abstract in Swedish Östersjön är ett av världens största brackvattenhav och har stora miljömässiga problem orsakade av övergödning och varmare klimat. Det mer saltrika bottenvattnet som flödar in genom en smal förbindelse med Nordsjön skiljs från ytvattnet av en haloklin, vilket förhindrar ett utbyte av syre mellan de två vattenmassorna. Tillförsel av näring och ett varmare klimat leder tiThe Baltic Sea is one of the largest brackish water bodies in the world and is suffering extensive environmental issues caused by eutrophication and warming climate. A halocline in the water column divides more saline bottom water fed by inflows through the narrow connection with the North Sea from the surface waters and inhibiting exchange of oxygen between the two water masses. With the nutrient
Dendritic cells (DC) are a heterogeneous lineage of bone-marrow-derived leukocytes that serve as the link between innate and adaptive immunity. They are professional antigen-presenting cells that play an important protective and regulatory role in both health and disease. This thesis is based upon six original papers that deal with the function and transcription of human DCs, with focus on their r
The chapter makes use of the theoretic horizons of radical democrac, especially as found in the works of Chantal Mouufe, to conceptually explore the emergence of citizens' identities as active agents in the context of extra-parliamentarian political engagement using the Internet
I will start out with an overview of common assumptions on the impact of free trade on the environment – assumptions which, very much like the first part of Lamy’s statement, are all-encompassing and deterministic. From there, I will narrow down the scope of examination to specific and immediate hardware-to-hardware impacts: akin to the second part of the above statement, the emphasis shall be put
