The paper focuses on a suite of fable texts from the modern epoch, the “Fables” of August Strindberg, written in the 1880s. In most of these ten prose fables the protagonists are anthropomorphized animals, one of the facts clearly connecting the suite with the Aesopic tradition, which Strindberg was highly familiar with. The basic message of the Aesopic genre – the rejection of man’s animality as

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna studie fokuserar på reproduktionskostnader och de energetiska taktiker som en reproducerande individ kan utnyttja för att tillfredsställa det ökade behovet av energi och näring under reproduktionen. Reproduktionskostnader har traditionellt definierats som reduktioner av den framtida potentiella produktionen av avkomma, orsakade av en nuvarande reproduktiv investerThis study focuses on various aspects of costs of reproduction and the evolution of energetic breeding tactics. It emphasizes the distinction between demographic costs of reproduction expressed already before current offspring have reached independence (prebreeding costs), and costs expressed only after offspring independence (postbreeding costs). Prebreeding costs have only rarely been appreciate

The initiation of a migraine attack involves a primary central nervous system dysfunction with subsequent activation of the trigeminovascular system. In trigeminal ganglia, the expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) have been demonstrated by immunocytochemistry. During migraine attacks, the level of released CGRP is increased. Meanwhi

The article examines four motifs/textual corpora in the Bible which have been referred to by those in favour of slavery: (1) the Exodus motif, (2) the Curse of Noah, (3) the parables of Jesus, and (4) the epistles of Paul. It is argued in the article that Christianity, with its canonized metaphors of slavery actually delayed the abolition of slavery in the 19th century by relativizing and idealizi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Järn har den kemiska beteckningen Fe från latinskans ferrum. Det är det fjärde vanligaste ämnet i världen och utgör ca en femtedel av jordskorpan. Trots det kan både djur och växter ha järnbrist. Hur kan detta vara möjligt? Problemet är egentligen inte förekomsten av järn utan att järnet som vi och alla andra organismer behöver har oxidationstillståndet Fe(II) medan detIt is of vital importance to understand the systems for iron metabolism and this thesis contributes to this by providing insights into the structure and function of the acquisition and homeostasis of iron. The two proteins that have been primarily investigated are a ferric reductase from Arabidopsis thaliana called FRO2 and a mitochondrial iron chaperone from Saccharomyces cerevisiae called fratax

Sweden, like most other industrialized countries, has an aging population. This is caused by decreases in fertility as well as increases in life expectancy. Table 6.1 shows the percentage of the population over sixty-five and eighty-years-old.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är en sammanläggningsavhandling och består av åtta delarbeten. Delarbetena är publicerade i internationella vetenskapliga tidskrifter, utom delarbete VI-VIII som är föremål för granskning i sådana tidsskrifter inför möjlig publikation. Alla delarbeten representerar studier av bisköldkörteln. Bisköldkörtlarna (parathyroidea) är belägna i anslutning tillThe occurrence and distribution of neurohormonal peptides, neuroendocrine markers and receptors in parathyroid nerve fibers and endocrine cells are described, using immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization, image analysis and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Immunocytochemical studies revealed that parathyroid glands of chicken, rat, guinea-pig, cat, dog and sheep contained adren
