In 1915, Swedish missionary Alma Johansson witnessed the Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire. She then worked at an Armenian orphanage. When the children became victims of the killings it was important for her to report the outrages to diplomats and to write about her experiences. Johansson also continued to work with Armenian refugees. The chapter focuses on a civil female actor in a war zon
Two separate topics in the area of colloidal chemistry have been investigated by the use of molecular modeling: the structural properties of polyion?macroion complexes and of diblock polyampholyte brushes. The main results were obtained by the use of Monte Carlo simulation in the framework of the primitive model, and in the case of polyampholyte brushes the simulation results were also complemente
Popular Abstract in Swedish En bred, distinkt materialpresentation är knuten till enskilda variabler av psykologiskt märke. Dessa innebär ett sök efter den autentiske Garborg, värderat som såväl symptombärare som symptomlösare. Introduktionen till Garborgs levnadshistoria avser att vara en invitation, speciellt till dem som inte är bekanta med honom som person och författare. Utifrån en period kriA broad, distinctive material presentation is done, which is linked to some variables of psychological value, stating a research for the authenticity of Garborg in viewing him as well a symptom bearer as a symptom solver. An introduction to Garborg is meant to be an invitation, especially to those who are not so well acquainted with him as a person and a writer. Out from a period of about 110 year
Frogs are often rare or absent from intensively farmed areas. Here we explore the possibility that the landscape and the quality of the terrestrial habitat are unsuitable for these populations. Spawn of Rana arvalis and R. temporaria was introduced into ponds in a south Swedish agricultural landscape in 2003 (eight ponds) and 2004 (ten ponds). Metamorphs emerged from nine (R. a.) and 12 (R. t.) of
Radiative lifetimes of the highly exited states 3p(3)8s S-3(1)0 and 3p(3)6d D-3(1,2,3)0 of neutral sulphur have been measured using time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence. The sulphur atoms were generated in a laser-produced plasma. The investigated states were populated through a two-step process involving a two-photon excitation to the lowest excited tripler state of even parity 3p(4) P-3(0,1,
Objectives The objectives of this study were to examine the prevalence of penicillin-susceptible bacteremic Staphylococcus aureus in the Malmö area in 2014, to re-evaluate the phenotypic methods of penicillinase detection on these isolates, and to investigate the clonal distribution of penicillin-susceptible isolates. Methods All non-redundant S. aureus from blood in the Malmö catchment area in so
BACKGROUND: Both persons with intellectual disability (ID) and persons with dementia have high disease burdens, and consequently also high health care needs. As life expectancy increases for persons with ID, the group of persons with the dual diagnosis of ID and dementia will become larger.METHOD: Through national registries, we identified 7936 persons who had received support directed to persons
In Europe an increasing number of scholars from different disciplines show growing interest in studying interactions between society and wildlife. Europe’s diversity with regard to cultures, languages and governance systems for wildlife is reflected in the wealth of research perspectives on human-wildlife interactions. Today a variety of approaches, disciplinary perspectives, theoretical framework
Seabirds are regarded as a group of species with relatively low levels or even complete lack of blood parasites. We used PCR to amplify a DNA fragment from the cytochrome b gene of the parasites to search for infections of the genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon in individuals of two sympatrically breeding gull species, the Herring Gull Larus argentatus, the Caspian Gull Larus cachin
This work introduces a type of CdS/CuxS quantum dots (QDs) as sensitizers in quantum dot sensitized solar cells by in-situ cationic exchange reaction method where CdS photoanode is directly immersed in CuCl2 methanol solution to replace Cd2+ by Cu2+. The p-type CuxS layer on the surface of the CdS QDs can be considered as hole transport material, which not only enhances the light harvesting of pho
Recent studies reported the presence of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5 hmC) as an additional modification in mammalian genomic DNA. To date, 5 hmC has been detected only in mouse DNA isolated from embryonic stem cells, some adult tissues and in DNA from human bone marrow. Understanding its biological function will require the development of sensitive analytical methods that allow the detection and qua
The ecosystem services (ES) concept refers to benefits that humanity receives from nature. Investigating how this concept has been embraced within urban planning is important when assessing the awareness of human dependence on natural functions and the potential for the ES concept to increase this awareness. We analyzed planning documents from three small and three large municipalities in southern
Background: Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is a major cause of visual impairment in working-age adults worldwide. Panretinal photocoagulation is a cornerstone in its management; however, it may include a range of side effects and complications, one of these being serous retinal detachment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the use of intravitreal injection of bevacizuma
A preparative proteomic approach, involving liquid phase isoelectric focusing (IEF) in combination with one-dimensional electrophoresis and electroelution followed by mass spectrometry and database searches, was found to be an important tool for identifying low-abundant proteins (microgram/L) in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and membrane proteins in human frontal cortex. Several neuron-related p
This chapter examines the livelihood strategies of young people living in three villages near the town of Bole in the Northern Region of Ghana, looking at their farming and fishing activities, nonfarm businesses in the village, and the role of migration in business establishment. The fieldwork on which the chapter is based was conducted in Bole District, one of 20 districts in the Northern Region,
Autoethnography is no longer a marginal anthropological practice but one that is taught at many universities worldwide. And this approach to empirical knowledge gathering and anthropological analysis forms the basis for hundreds if not thousands of publications, many of which are well cited and widely celebrated. The success of autoethnography is surely a cause for celebration. It is, however, als
“I am a social worker, but also a manager, so I'm both” - A interview study about how managers experience the role conflict within the social services. The aim of this study was to describe and analyze how managers experience the role conflict within social services. We have taken a qualitative approach to our study, based on six semistructured interviews with managers from different social
