The introduction of a historical canon and national tests is described by the Danish government as “minor necessary changes”. The article investigates that statement byapplying a historical perspective in relation to the status of the subject of history, its purpose, its disciplinarity, and the content of the tuition. There is in fact a radically new way of thinking about and practising subjects,
P-type ATPases from the P4 subfamily (P4-ATPases) are energy-dependent transporters, which are thought to establish lipid asymmetry in eukaryotic cell membranes. Together with their Cdc50 accessory subunits, P4-ATPases couple ATP hydrolysis to lipid transport from the exoplasmic to the cytoplasmic leaflet of plasma membranes, late Golgi membranes, and endosomes. To gain insights into the structure
In this paper, we take moral agency to be that context in which a particular agent can, appropriately, be held responsible for her actions and their consequences. In order to understand moral agency, we will discuss what it would take for an artifact to be a moral agent. For reasons that will become clear over the course of the paper, we take the artifactual question to be a useful way into discus
Air quality standards are set to protect public health. The values of the standards are often based on health effect studies, without any statistical considerations. In order to judge if a standard is met measurements of ambient air quality are taken at monitoring stations, and these measured values are used to decide whether or not the standard has been violated. In this paper we examine the stat
An important new development within the European ENSEMBLES project has been to explore performance-based weighting of regional climate models (RCMs). Until now, although no weighting has been applied in multi-RCM analyses, one could claim that an assumption of ‘equal weight’ was implicitly adopted. At the same time, different RCMs generate different results, e.g. for various types of extremes, and
The future use of single-molecule magnets in applications will require the ability to control and manipulate the spin state and magnetization of the magnets by external means. There are different approaches to this control, one being the modification of the magnets by adsorption of small ligand molecules. In this paper we use iron phthalocyanine supported by an Au(111) surface as a model compound
This paper presents the Development Policy Evaluation Model (DEVPEM), a new simulation model which captures four critical aspects of rural economies in developing countries: (1) the role of the household as both a producer and a consumer of food crops; (2) high transaction costs of participating in markets; (3) market linkages among heterogeneous rural producers and consumers; (4) the imperfect co
We present a framework for computing optimal transformations, aligning one point set to another, in the presence of outliers. Example applications include shape matching and registration (using, for example, similarity, affine or projective transformations) as well as multiview reconstruction problems (triangulation, camera pose etc.). While standard methods like RANSAC essentially use heuristics
This paper tests the expectation hypothesis by using the volatility index VIX and the futures written on that index. Because the VIX index is negatively correlated with the S&P 500 index returns the VIX futures price should contain a negative risk premium, which we do confirm in this study. When the futures price is not adjusted with the risk premium, the expectation hypothesis is rejected at
Centralized Petersen coil earthing in networks with extensive use of underground cable involves flow of large quantities of reactive earth fault current. In networks with long radial cable feeders this creates problems involving active losses and active and reactive earth fault current. One possible solution to the problem is the use of local compensation. This paper aims at understanding the limi
Modern adaptive techniques in two-point boundary value problems generate the mesh by constructing a function that maps a uniform grid to the desired nonuniform grid. This paper describes a new control algorithm for constructing a grid density function $phi(x)$, such that the local mesh width $Delta x_{j+1/2}=x_{j+1}-x_j$ is computed as $Delta x_{j+1/2} = varepsilon_N / varphi_{j+1/2}$. Here $varep
Jurisdiction is a composite term referring to that which is right (jus) and that which is said (dicere). It is decisive for any consideration of jurisdiction whether one chooses to subordinate jus to dicere, or dicere to jus. As the law is always anterior to a pronouncement of justice based on it, the choice of subordination decides whether one lets the past rule over the present, or the present r
The Swedish Joint Facilities create a common resource system for externalities of the individual property, such as common roads, bridges, residential services (waste disposal, car park, community places), irrigation and drainage schemes, and hunting ground. In a historical perspective, such facilities belonged to the village community, and remained as externalities when the society forced an inter
Popular Abstract in Swedish Detta är en av de få större statsrättsliga studierna i Sverige på senare år. Vad som analyseras i boken är inte rättsläget beträffande någon enskild rättighet utan de skyddsmekanismer för de medborgerliga rättigheterna som finns i ett antal västliga rättssystem. Förutom Sverige behandlas Danmark, Norge, Finland, Tyskland, Frankrike, Storbrittanien och USA. Särskilda kapConstitutional Protection of Human Rights means something else than international protection, first and foremost since it is exercised at a national level. This protection may be excercised by courts or by special mechanisms of protection within the legislative process. However, if this protection of the basic rights of the individuals is to be a strong one, it is likely to limit the freedom of ac
Popular Abstract in Swedish Transformationen av läkemedel till "pro-drugs" är ett lockande koncept där man tillåts förändra en förenings kemiska och fysikaliska egenskaper utan att ändra den aktiva molekylens struktur. Vilken förening som helst kan i princip omformas till en "pro-drug". Många naturprodukter besitter egenskaper som är potentiellt intressanta för behandling av sjukdom men är svåra aThe modification of drugs into pro-drugs is an attractive concept allowing you to tweak the chemical and physical properties of a drug without changing the original structure of the active compound. In principle, any compound possessing a preferred biological activity can be transformed into a pro-drug. Many natural products harbor qualities that are potentially interesting as drugs but difficult
I denna artikel undersöker jag spänningen mellan forskning i narratologi och undervisning i narratologi. Mitt främsta syfte är att analysera hur forskningen i detta äflt kan användas i undervisning. Studien görs på elever i gymnasiet i Sverige. Jag studerar elevernas reaktioner på ett så kallat "rambrytande" berättargrepp: den narrativa metalepsen. Samtidigt ifrågasätter jag vissa teoretiker enligIn this paper I explore the tension between research in narratology and teaching narratology. My main concern is to study how the research in this field can be used in teaching. The study is made on pupils at upper secondary level in Sweden. I study the pupils’ reactions to one kind of frame-breaking narrative device: the narrative metalepsis. In doing so, I question some theorists according to wh
The choral research inventory at the Department of Musicology focuses mainly on research literature. It records publications from both a historical and transnational point of view and systematizes these publications along music pedagogical and music historical terms. It also aligns research strategies with respect to this field, which to some extent might be described as marginalized. As such, the
Osteoporosis is characterized by a decreased bone mass and an increased bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. Patients with a fragility fracture at any site have an increased risk of sustaining future fractures. Orthopedic surgeons manage most of these fractures and are often the only physician seen by the patient. Mounting evidence that orthopedic surgeons are not well attuned to osteopo
