This article was given as a paper at the conference on Deification/Theosis at Drew University, Madison, N.J. in May 2004. The article adresses the growing interest in deification/theosis in contemporary Western theology. Recent research on deification/theosis in Luther and Thomas Aquinas are critically evaluated. The article ends with a proposal. For the better understanding of similarities and di
Popular Abstract in Swedish Tillväxthormon (GH) är ett hormon som produceras och insöndras stötvis från hypofysen. GH-insöndringen styrs av stimulerande och hämmande signaler från hypothalamus, men hämmas även av sin egen insöndring. GH produceras under hela livet men mängden insöndrat hormon sjunker med stigande ålder. Under barn- och ungdomsåren har GH en viktig funktion att stimulera längdtillvA risk for premature atherosclerosis and increased cardiovascular mortality has been reported in adult patients suffering from growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and receiving conventional hormone substitution without growth hormone (GH) replacement. GHD patients are resistant to insulin, which is a potential risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. Insulin resistance can develop from an unfavourabl
The paper will discuss the design of a new organization of library services at Lund University, Sweden with special emphasis on the motives and drivers behind the reorganization. The university management has decided the reorganization after an evaluation report with recommendations. The new structure of the library services is designed as a network of libraries with a coordination and management
Popular Abstract in Swedish Astma och allergisk rinit (hösnuva) är vanligt förekommande sjukdomar som karakteriseras av inflammation i luftrörs- och nässlemhinnor och ökad produktion av inflammatoriska proteiner t.ex. cytokiner. Cytokiner är små proteiner som fungerar som kemiska signaler mellan celler i kroppen och styr bl.a. inflammationer. Inflammation är kroppens normala försvarsreaktion mot vGlucocorticosteroids (GCS) are potent anti-inflammatory drugs, probably due to inhibitory effects on cytokine production. However, a small number of asthma patients seem GCS-resistant. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-2(IL-2) and IL-4, produced during allergic airway inflammation have been proposed to induce the resistance to GCS. IL-2 and IL-4 also induce GCS resistance in mononucl
Popular Abstract in Swedish Robust konstruktion handlar om hur produkter skall konstrueras för att bli okänsliga mot oväntade störningar och variationer i t.ex. omgivningen under drift. Normalt har detta problem angripits med den sk. Taguchi-metoden, i vilken experiment utförs efter en viss metodik på en prototyp, varefter produktens beteende kartläggs och konstruktionsvariablerna väljs så att ettThe activity of robust design of mechanical products and how it can be accomplished in pre-prototype design phases, is discussed in this thesis. It is advocated that to be fully efficient and effective optimization of product robustness should commence already in the conceptual design phase. Moreover, since product optimization is a process, robust design should be perceived and implemented as a p
This paper is a report on the European Food Science Day (Brussels, 18 November 2009, organized by the CommNet network of food science communicators) and its outcomes. The article presents FP 7 as a key funding mechanism in European food and nutrition research and it puts research in this sector in a socio-economic context. The article then reviews the specific activities of several EU-funded proje
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ortopedteknik i utvecklings-länder, hur funkar det? Hur fungerar den ortopedtekniska servicen i länder präglade av fattigdom och inbördeskrig? Lina Magnusson disputerade i november med en avhandling om ortopedteknisk service i utvecklingsländer. Lina Magnusson är den första kvinnliga ortopedingenjören som disputerar i Sverige. Hennes avhandling beskriver patienters rAim: The overall aim of this thesis was to generate further knowledge about prosthetic and orthotic services in developing countries. In particular, the thesis focused on patient mobility and satisfaction with prosthetic and orthotic devices, satisfaction with service delivery, and the views of staff regarding clinical practice and education. Methods: Questionnaires, including QUEST 2.0, were use
Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) have been suspected to adversely affect human reproductive health. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between PFC exposure and male semen quality. PFCs were measured in serum from 588 partners of pregnant women from Greenland, Poland and Ukraine who provided a semen sample, using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Perfluorooctane
To determine if PET reporting criteria for the Response Adapted Treatment in Hodgkin Lymphoma (RATHL) trial could enable satisfactory agreement to be reached between 'core' laboratories operating in different countries. Four centres reported scans from 50 patients with stage II-IV HL, acquired before and after two cycles of Adriamycin/bleomycin/vinblastine/dacarbazine. A five-point scale was used
That the Church of Norway has now adopted gender equality as its policy, is a new situation in a historical perspective, and is the result of a long process within the framework of the state church system. In this context, the way in which the Storting (the Norwegian parliament) dealt with the issue of admitting women to clerical offices in the 1930s was important. The purpose of this thesis has b
Popular Abstract in Swedish Polymerer och tensider är molekyler vi stöter på i vårt vardagliga liv, när vi bär hem våra matvaror i plastkassar, tvättar håret, målar huset eller tar en värktablett. Klassificeringen polymer är väldigt bred och innefattar allt från naturliga polymerer som cellulosa, till syntetiska polymerer som polystyren. Polymerer består av små, repeterande enheter, kallade monomeComplexes formed between oppositely charged polyions and surfactant ions are known to have very rich phase behaviour in bulk solution. The work in this thesis investigates the possibilites of using such complexes as surface coatings. Stoichiometric polyion-surfactant ion complexes “complex salts” (CS) consisting of alkyltrimethylammonium surfactant ions and polyacrylates are typically insoluble i
This essay examines the aesthetics and rhetoric through which popular science delivers the message of brain-mind conflation—‘You are your brain’. Noting the entwinement of realist and imaginary visual tropes in popular scientific presentations of brain imaging, author seeks a correlative ‘counter-text’ to this discourse in one of the classic texts in psychiatric history, the memoirs of the paranoi
PURPOSE: The prevalence of iron deficiency (ID) in Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVADs) recipients is not known nor has the association between ID and peak oxygen uptake (VO2) been reported. The aim of this study was to study to investigate the prevalence of ID in this population and the association between ID and VO2. METHODS: Data was included from LVAD recipients at Rigshospitalet, Denmark (D
Justice is an underlying principle and an important lens in understanding sustainable development goals (SDG). There is a need for analysis and clarification on the underlying principles of justice embedded in the SDGs. Goals such as no poverty (goal 1), zero hunger (goal 2), health and well-being (goal 3), gender equality (goal 5), affordable energy (goal 7), reduced inequalities (goal 10) as wel
