In this commentary, I will review the latest findings on the Bicoid (Bcd) morphogen in Drosophila, a paradigm for gradient formation taught to biology students for more than two decades. "Seeing is believing" also summarizes the erroneous steps that were needed to elucidate the mechanisms of gradient formation and the path of movement of Bcd. Initially proclaimed as a dogma in 1988 and later incor

This thesis aims to reveal the role and significance of occupational clothing for the wearers, exposing some of the thoughts, ideas and opinions that pharmacy workers have about their work uniform, the white coat. My own experiences from working in an environment (a pharmacy) where occupational uniforms were used was one of the reasons for selecting this thesis topic. My interest was also consolid

Anti-JAHK, an antibody directed toward a low-incidence antigen in the Rh system, was detected during routine antibody identification in a male donor who had no history of transfusion. Examples of anti-JAHK have been found in sera containing multiple antibodies to low-incidence antigens. The first report of anti-JAHK was in 1995 and described the association of the JAHK antigen with the rG haplotyp

Hypoxia is a well-described phenomenon in the offshore waters of the Baltic Sea with both the spatial extent and intensity of hypoxia known to have increased due to anthropogenic eutrophication, however, an unknown amount of hypoxia is present in the coastal zone. Here we report on the widespread unprecedented occurrence of hypoxia across the coastal zone of the Baltic Sea. We have identified 115

This dissertation provides new insights on creativity and the lives of creative people, by availing of unique data-sets covering the lives, works and emotional states of famous music composers. The underlying research documents the long-run persistence of a society’s preference towards cultural goods and shows that the geography of composer births displays remarkable continuity over a period of se

Sweden is perceived to be top ranking. and a 'role model', in terms of its volume of academic R&D. This perception is based on analyses using two standard indicators. We assess the validity of these and argue that institutional features skew the result in favour of a high ranking. Swedish academic R&D is more appropriately characterised as average. or below average. in terms of input and a

According to article 37(b) of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), a deprivation of liberty of a child must be ''lawful'', ''non-arbitrary'', used as a ''measure of last resort only'' and ''for the shortest appropriate period of time''. Measures that contain deprivations of liberty shall be used in exceptional cases, as sa

Amidst debates on the potential adverse consequences of high-technology industries on employment, it is imperative to gain a deeper understanding of how high-tech industries shape labour markets outcomes across various socio-economic, institutional, and geographical contexts. This thesis seeks to contribute to this understanding by estimating the impact of high-technology industries on employment

China is an extraordinary country; in the last 30 years the economic development has moved forward in an almost impossibly high and even speed. The GDP has grown with an annual average of ten percent and placed the Chinese economy among the top three largest economies in the world. But while the economic development keep racing ahead, the democratic development has slowed down and is now standing

Seasonality is a core aspect of life in West African artisanal fishing communities, with fisherfolk having long adapted to bumper and lean fishing seasons. In an attempt to tackle dwindling fish stocks, however, the Government of Ghana introduced a month-long closed fishing season. This paper explores the ways in which fishing communities, which are accustomed to seasonal change, make sense of and
