Research on early postwar documentation efforts related to the Second World War and the Holocaust conducted by survivors of Nazi persecution has expanded over the past two decades. Yet, research on how knowledge circulatedtween these efforts – especially across various “borders” – is still nascent. This chapter seeks to gain a better understanding of the role of women’s informalworks during the ea

The fluoroquinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin (cipro) has been reported to upregulate interleukin 2 and interferon-γ production in lectin-stimulated lymphocytes. The aim of this study was to elucidate whether cipro and the immunosuppressive agent CsA have antagonistic action on cytokine synthesis. Accumulation of IL-2 and IFN-γ protein and mRNA were analyzed in polyclonally (PHA or Con A) or alloan

Swedish architectural modernism is intimately tied to thedevelopment of the welfare state, where the roles and work ofarchitects largely followed governmental building policies. Thepolitical and economical crisis of the late 1960s and 1970swas particularly devastating for Swedish architecture as theshortcomings of the welfare state were partly blamed on thearchitecture profession. This paper is a

Abstract OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of antenatal betamethasone on fetal and uteroplacental hemodynamics. METHODS: The study comprised 33 women with singleton high-risk pregnancies (23-33 weeks; 27 pregnancies < 30 weeks) not in labor, but at risk for preterm delivery based on fetal or maternal indications. They were treated with two doses of 12 mg betamethasone intramuscularly 24 h ap

Klimatförändringen och barns rättigheter i svenska kommuner Klimatrelaterade katastrofer drabbar främst barn i låginkomstländer men vad innebär klimatförändringen och relaterade utsläpp för barns rättigheter i Sverige? Den här studien ger en bild av vilka klimatrelaterade risker som barn i Sverige kan drabbas av och hur dessa kan relateras till barnets rättigheter enligt barnkonventionen till livChildren’s rights are affected by climate change in numerous ways but few research studies on the subject have been conducted in Swedish municipalities. The objectives of this study have therefore been to assess the impact on children’s rights due to climate change in Sweden and the influence of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) on climate policies and measures in Swe

The Swedish mathematician Gösta Mittag-Leffler (1846-1927) is well-known for founding Acta Mathematica, the famous international mathematical journal. His mathematical contributions are connected chiefly with complex analysis. The Mittag-Leffler theorem which built on Karl Weierstrass' work asserts the existence of meromorphic function with prescribed poles and principal parts. The main purpo

Alltför ofta väljer vi ett mindre gott istället för ett större gott, enbart på grund av att det mindre goda ligger närmare i framtiden, och alltför ofta skulle vi föredra att ett större ont inträffat oss i det förgångna än att behöva uppleva ett mindre ont i framtiden. Detta kallar filosofer för tidspartiskheter, den första benämns som partiskhet mot det nära i framtiden, och den andra benämns somAll too often we find ourselves choosing a lesser good instead of a greater good, due to the mere fact that the lesser good is closer in the future, and all too often we find ourselves preferring that greater suffering has happened in the past rather than us having to experience small suffering in the future. Philosophers call this phenomena time biases, the first bias is called the bias towards t
