I detta konferensbidrag analyserar jag hur det fantastiska kan användas i romaner som påstår sig vara historiska. Franska Västindien, som det exemplifieras i Patrick Chamoiseaus romaner, är ett bra exempel på hur det fantastiska kan hjälpa till i upptäckten av ett förflutet som glömts bort eller förträngts.I this paper I study how the fantastic can be used in novels that pretend to be historical. The case of the French Indies, as in the works of Patrick Chamoiseau, is a good example of how the fantastic can help when discovering a past that has been forgotten or repressed.

The acoustic field generated by a lifted flame is studied by a hybrid approach. First, Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are used to compute the flow and the acoustic sources. Next, an inhomogeneous wave equation is solved to obtain the resulting acoustic field. The flow computations show good agreement with experimental data. The dominant acoustic sources are found to be located in the ignition region

Popular Abstract in Swedish Människans immunförsvar har utvecklats under miljontals år för att i bästa möjliga mån skydda oss från infektioner och det sköter i de allra flesta fall det jobbet utmärkt. Ibland händer det dock att någonting går fel och konsekvensen kan bli väldigt obehaglig eller till och med förödande för den drabbade. Allergiska reaktioner är ett utmärkt exempel på en sådan situatiAntibodies of the IgE isotype play a key role as the allergen recognizer in allergic disease, which today affects as much as a third of the population in the industrialized parts of the world. Despite this crucial role of IgE, our knowledge of IgE repertoires and how we can utilize the information hidden in monoclonal IgE to improve the quality of life of allergic patients, is limited.

Visuals are ubiquitous in strategic communication involving social media and there are high expectations on what visual social media can accomplish with regards to creating engagement among people. The research aim in this paper is to examine how employees experience curating images in social media as part of an organization’s strategic communication. The reasoning is based on an empirical study o

In this paper, we explore consumers’ in-store experiences and their components, from both a consumer and retailer perspective. This is a replication of a study we performed in 2006 and thus we also examine how the role of the physical store has changed over the last decade. We use the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) to improve our understanding of consumers’ in-store experiences. Moreover, we co

Despite the fact that the origin of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) being a contamination and a mutation originating from primates is well-documented alternative narratives are often being heard ofespecially in sub-Saharan Africa. One such narrative is about HIV being man-made in a military laboratory in the United States. In this article, it is shown how this narrative was fabricated by the in

The large and sparsely hydrated thiocyanate anion, SCN–, plays a prominent role in the study of specific ion effects in biological, colloid, and atmospheric chemistry due to its extreme position in the Hofmeister series. Using atomistic modeling of aqueous SCN– solutions, we provide novel insight at the molecular scale into the experimentally observed differences in ion pairing, clustering, reorie

The current study is aimed at highlighting the impact of enterally or parenterally applied immunoglobulins (Igs) on polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) absorption in newborn pigs. Piglets were chosen as the appropriate model since they are born agammaglobulinemic and any effects of Ig addition can thus be easily monitored. Twenty-one, new born piglets were used in the study. Plasma levels of PUFAs,

Jordan has one of the lowest available water supplies in the world; meanwhile Jordan has seen large increase in population and refugee’s fluxes, leading to an increase in water demand [1]. To address this unprecedented water scarcity, Jordan’s water must be used where its social and economic value is highest. Jordan must treat and reuse virtually every drop of water. It is expected to have more th

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and metastases may be difficult to differentiate based on conventional imaging alone. The aim of this study was to investigate the value of perfusion weighted imaging (PWI) in differentiating homogeneously enhancing PCNSL from homogeneously enhancing GBM and metastases. Seven consecutive patients presenting with homogen

The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence, clinical presentation, and prognosis of Actinotignum bacteremia in southern Sweden. Actinotignum isolates in blood cultures were identified retrospectively between 1st January 2012 and 31st March 2016 through searches in the clinical microbiology laboratory database. The population covered by this laboratory is approximately 1.3 million.
