Artikeln undersöker människors förhållningssätt till uppslagsverk och encyklopedier i ett livshistoriskt perspektiv under en period när encyklopedier har genomgått dramatiska förändringar. En frågelista som skickats till fasta så kallade meddelare knutna till Folklivsarkivet i Lund har använts som metod. Svaren har analyserats med hjälp av posthumanistisk teori. Analysen visar de sätt som tryckta Encyclopaedias are artefacts that both define and are defined by the culture in which they are produced and used. Encyclopaedias mirror the time of their creation, at the same time as understanding and use of encyclopaedias is tied to both time and space. From the 19th century until the present day encyclopaedias have changed from exclusive and costly Collections of books kept mainly in libraries

To evaluate the influence of hard exudates on macular function in patients with diabetic retinopathy. METHODS: Thirty seven eyes from 27 diabetic patients, aged 57 +/- 14 years, diabetes duration 12.5 +/- 9 years, not previously treated with photocoagulation, underwent fundus photography, multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Hard exudates were graded from

Fuel economy and emissions are the two central parameters in heavy duty engines. High exhaust gas recirculation rates combined with turbocharging has been identified as a promising way to increase the maximum load and efficiency of heavy duty spark ignition engines. With stoichiometric conditions, a three way catalyst can be used, which keeps the regulated emissions at very low levels. The Lambda

Drawing on debates in Sweden about Internet freedom, particularly those connected to copyright and file sharing, and on the European legislative trend of amending copyright, this chapter analyses metaphors and conceptions in terms of a societal paradigmatic shift and the collision of mentalities. Kuhnian paradigms are wedded with the mentalities of the French Annales School of historic research. T

Designed to meet the diverse needs of therapists, this book presents a new approach to rehabilitation that integrates ergonomics concepts to address the wide range of problems commonly encountered by professionals. The first section addresses general concepts such as anthropometry and tissue mechanics. The next section explores whole body biomechanics, demonstrating the ergonomic effects of physio

Retinoic acid (RA) is an important morphogen that regulates many biological processes, including the development of the central nervous system (CNS). Its synthesis from vitamin A (retinol) occurs in two steps, with the second reaction - catalyzed by retinal dehydrogenases (RALDHs) - long considered to be crucial for tissue-specific RA production in the embryo. We have recently identified the Xenop

En redogörelse för hur Kvinnovetenskaplig tidskrift bytte namn till Tidskrift för genusvetenskap när Cristine Sarrimo och Monika Edgren var redaktörer för tidskriften. I artikeln återges hur redaktionen resonerade kring namnbytet utifrån det genusvetenskapliga fältets förändring från ett tidigare fokus på kvinnor till ett breddat genusbegrepp.

A review of a doctoral issertation on "The Visitation of the Sick in Swedish Medieval and Reformation Traditions".

In recent years, Swedish municipalities have introduced programs that combine Swedish language education with vocational training. However, due to the novelty and lack of an established framework, data and research on their effectiveness in improving immigrant labour market performance is limited. This essay addresses this gap by estimating the causal effect of vocational training combined with Sw
