In the ancient corpus of Aesopic fables gods and semi-gods from Greek and Roman mythology often appear. Most commonly Zeus is called upon by fable characters such as the donkey, the snake, and the turtle, all of them pleading for a better destiny. Frequent main characters, rather often promoting their own interests in the fable fictions, are also Hera, Herakles, Apollo, and Hermes. The high esteem

Popular Abstract in Swedish I de flesta fall börjar knäledsförslitning i den inre ledkammaren (medial gonartros) och medför en successiv hjulbenthet (varus). I enstaka fall börjar förslitningen i den yttre ledkammaren (lateral gonartros) innebärande kobenthet (valgus). Personer över 60-65 år behandlas kirurgiskt oftast med knäledsprotes med bra resultat. Hos yngre, mer aktiva, är denna metod sämreOsteotomy is used for correction of the altered load on the gonarthrotic knee joint. It can be performed above or below the knee. Clinical results depend on the correction after bone healing. By tibial closed wedge osteotomy (HTO), the deformity is corrected peroperatively in contrast to tibial hemicallotasis osteotomy (HCO) where the correction is performed after surgery. Comparing the two method

This book is the first in almost 40 years to provide a comprehensive scientific overview of research in the field of parapsychology, explaining what we know and don’t know about so-called psi phenomena, such as “telepathy,” “precognition” or “psychokinesis.” Contributors evaluate the evidence for these phenomena, accounting for factors such as selective memory, wish fulfillment and incorrect metho

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det finns många skäl till varför streptomyceter är en intressant grupp av bakterier att undersöka. Den här avhandlingen fokuserar på celldifferentieringen hos dessa organismer och deras förmåga att bilda en specialiserad typ av tåliga celler som kallas sporer. Genom att studera sporuleringsprocessen hos dessa bakterier kan man lära sig mycket om fundamentala livsprocessStreptomycetes are Gram-positive bacteria with a complex developmental life cycle. They form spores on specialized cells called aerial hyphae, and this sporulation involves alterations in growth, morphogenesis and cell cycle processes like cell division and chromosome segregation. Understanding the developmental mechanisms that streptomycetes have evolved for regulating for example cell division i

Intracerebral neural transplantation offers a new strategy to combat Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases. However, a host immune response against a histoincompatible neural graft in the brain may jeopardize transplant survival. We transplanted dissociated mesencephalic tissue prepared from Sprague-Dawley (SD) (syngeneic), Lewis (allogeneic) rats or mice (xenogeneic), into 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OH

Denna rapport behandlar gåendes korsande av gator i tättbebyggt område. Det empiriska underlaget för rapporten kommer från fältstudier som utfördes vid fyra platser i Malmö samt från STRADA data. Utöver detta kopplas de empiriska resultaten till vetenskaplig litteratur om gåendes trafiksäkerhet. Resultaten visar att fotgängares korsandeolyckor i tättbebyggt område med svåra eller dödliga skador ti

This article was given as a paper at the conference on Deification/Theosis at Drew University, Madison, N.J. in May 2004. The article adresses the growing interest in deification/theosis in contemporary Western theology. Recent research on deification/theosis in Luther and Thomas Aquinas are critically evaluated. The article ends with a proposal. For the better understanding of similarities and di

En undersökning av hur vanligt det är med utelämningar i fundamentet och icke satsformade meningar i ett mindre material med vykort 1995–2005 med utfallet att det är rätt påfallande vanligt (särskilt utelämnade subjekt i första person singularis), om än med stor individuell variation.

According to medieval canon law, a marriage could be declared invalid if the consent had been given through force or fear. This ruling was a natural consequence of the insistence on free consent as the only requirement for a valid marriage. It did, however, entail a number of both practical and theoretical problems. It could be difficult to prove force and fear within the family, but also to defin

Ultracold clouds of dimeric molecules can dissociate into quantum mechanically correlated constituent atoms that are either both bosons or both fermions. We theoretically model the dissociation of two-dimensional anisotropic molecular condensates for which this difference manifests as complementary geometric structures of the dissociated atoms. Atomic bosons are preferentially emitted along the lo

A neural network architecture for visual direction detection is proposed. The approach assumes a continuous flow of visual stimuli as input. The output of the network will as a consequence be a continuous flow as well. Each node in the network signals when motion is occurring at their position. Other nodes make use of this information in their computations. This allows, from a computationally view
