The economics of biobanking are intertwined with its social and scientific aspects. In this article, we illustrate this interrelationship and describe two problems that structure the discussion about the economics of biobanking. First, there is a “sustainability problem” about how to maintain biobanks in the long term. Second, and representing a partial response to the first problem, there is a “c
It was recently revealed that the Iranian regime was planning to assassinate the US ambassador to South Africa. Tehran denied any such plans, but a brief look at the Islamic regime’s history shows that Iran not only has the will but also the means to conduct assassinations on foreign soil.Assassinations and terrorism have been the regime’s modus operandi both at home and abroad ever since the est
This is an overview article regarding artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential normative implications. Technology has always had inherent normative consequences not least due to AI and the use of algorithms. There is a crucial difference between algorithms in a technical sense and from a social-science perspective. It is a question of different orders of normativity - the first related to th
Den andra av två artiklar rörande det fängelse, den s k proban, som Lunds universitet hade under den tid lärosätet ägde egen jurisdiktion över anställda och studenter. Denna andra del behandlar studentoroligheter under tidigt 1800-tal, den oklara frågan var proban var placerad under 1800-talet samt några av de sista studenterna att spärras in häri under 1830- och 1840-talen, dels för brott, dels s
This paper examines virtual manifestations of “sad girls” on the media platform Tumblr. Here users write about their struggles with mental illness, revealing a set of shared experiences that encompass both psyche and body. Predominant narratives of what it means to be mentally ill are questioned, and alternative conceptualizations of the psyche are introduced. I argue that the sad girls legitimize
Background: Less than half of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) respond to their first antidepressant trial. Our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) remains poor, and there is no reliable method of predicting treatment response. Methods: Thirty-seven MDD subjects and 41 healthy controls, somatically healthy and medication-free f
The recent Company of Biologists workshop 'Growth, Division and Differentiation: Understanding Developmental Control', which was held in September 2011 at Wiston House, West Sussex, UK, brought together researchers aiming to understand cell proliferation and differentiation in various metazoans, ranging from flies to mice. Here, we review the common themes that emerged from the meeting, highlighti
In recent years, several Swedish companies have been accused in the media, by NGOs, and via legal proceedings of engaging in criminal activities. Two of these companies, TeliaSonera and Lundin Petroleum have been the focus of substantial public attention. During the years following the revelations that TeliaSonera, a partly state owned telecommunications company, had committed bribery offences in

Översättning med inledning och förklarande noterDiocles of Carystus, Ὑφιενὴ δίαιτα. Translation into Swedish with introduction and explanatory notes
Kognitiva och emotionella svårigheter är vanliga hos personer som överlevt ett hjärtstopp. Rutinerna för uppföljning efter hjärtstopp varierar stort mellan olika regioner och sjukhus i Sverige.För att förbättra vården har Svenska HLR-rådets arbetsgrupp för vård efter hjärtstopp tagit fram svenska riktlinjer för uppföljning efter hjärtstopp. According to previous research, a structured cardiac arrest follow-up may contribute to identifying health problems and the potential need of support among survivors and their relatives. However, a survey on post CA care and follow-up in Sweden, reported a lack of structure and major variations among Swedish hospitals. In 2016, Swedish guidelines were published with the aim to improve care. Accord
The effect of different glutamate‐receptor antagonists on the induction of cortical spreading depression of Leao and of cortical anoxic membrane depolarization were investigated in the anaesthetized rat. Spreading depression (SD), elicited by mechanical stimulation of the cortical surface, was inhibited by the non‐competitive N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate (NMDA)‐receptor blocker, (±)‐5‐methyl‐10,11‐dihydro
The effect of cerebral ischemia on the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) enzyme complex (PDHC) was investigated in homogenates of frozen rat cerebral cortex following 15 min of bilateral common carotid occlusion ischemia and following 15 min, 60 min, and 6 h of recirculation after 15 min of ischemia. In frozen cortical tissue from the same animals, the levels of labile phosphate compounds,
The effect of an α-2 receptor antagonist, idazoxan, on ischemic neuronal damage in the hippocampus and neocortex was studied in rats following 10 min of forebrain ischemia. Idazoxan was given 0.1 mg/kg i.v. immediately after recirculation, followed by 48 h of continuous infusion at a rate of 10 μg/kg/min. A histopathological examination of the CA1 region of the dorsal hippocampus and neocortex fro
