Artikeln ställer frågan vad det betyder när den från Tredje riket flydde, österrikisk-judiske basen Emanuel List på Metropolitan i New York i början av Andra världskriget sjunger orden om ”Das deutsche Schwert” i Wagners ”Lohengrin” (med historiskt ursprung i Vormärz-stämningarna 1848), och jämför med när den nationalsocialistiske Josef von Manowarda sjunger detsamma vid Bayreuthfestspelen 1936.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ärftliga näthinnesjukdomar med tidig debut Elektrofysiologiska och genetiska studier Ärftliga näthinnesjukdomar är den vanligaste orsaken till allvarligt synhandikapp hos unga människor i dagens Sverige. De flesta av dessa sjukdomar kan ännu inte behandlas, men vi har under de senaste åren fått allt större insikt i de bakomliggande sjukdomsmekanismerna, tack vare att Hereditary retinal degenerations are the most frequent reason for severe visual handicap among young people in Scandinavia today. In the six papers included in this thesis the phenotypic expressions, with emphasis on the electrophysiological findings, of five different juvenile hereditary retinal degenerations are described. The diagnoses have been confirmed by genetic analysis. The retinal disord

This study investigated the urinary tract cytokine reponse to infection and the role of chemokines for neutrophil recruitment to the urinary tract. The results suggest that 1) IL-8 and TGFb are consitutively produced by uroepithelial cells in vivo, and that uroepithelial cells are stimulated to produce IL-1b and IL-6 by uropathogenic Escherichia coli. 2) MIP-2 (mouse IL-8 homologue) plays an impor

A PV/T collector have been developed and evaluated at the department of Energy and Building Design at the Technical University of Lund, LTH in Sweden. The PV/T, a “multifunctional solar window” made of PV cells laminated on solar absorbers, is placed in a window behind the glazing. The solar window is built into a single family house, Solgården, in Älvkarleö outside Gävle in the eastern part of Sw

Context: The authors wanted to assess whether the quality of published human-centric software engineering experiments was improving. This required a reliable means of assessing the quality of such experiments. Aims: The aims of the study were to confirm the usability of a quality evaluation checklist, determine how many reviewers were needed per paper that reports an experiment, and specify an ap

The intention of this chapter is neither a pure methodological nor a theoretical discussion, but instead, an empirical analysis which aims to understand variations in perceptions of global risks and environmental concern in a number of countries. The discussion, however, relies on methodological as well as theoretical perspectives concerning the shortcomings and pitfalls one encounters in comparin

The dissertltion is a cultural-historical analysis of the feast of the Lord of May in a complex and socially conditioned setting. The method follows that of the historically oriented ethnology of the Munich school. As regards theory, I have been inspired by the civilization theory of Norbert Elias and by Robert Darnton's studies of groups of actors and their strategies. I have also found support i

The industrialization increases the demands being placed on precision and tolerance levels. This concerns both the details of individual components and the manner of coordinating the functioning of the system as a whole. The aim of this paper is to use the result of a case study for a discussion that points out specific problems that the construction industry have to deal with in order to continue

"Pathology and Genetics of Tumours of Soft Tissue and Bone" is the fifth volume in the new WHO series on histological and genetic typing of human tumours. It covers tumours of soft tissue and bone including inherited tumour syndromes. Each entity is extensively discussed with information on clinicopathological, epidemiological, immunophenotypic and genetic aspects of these diseases. Diagnostic cr

In this paper, we present a method of constructing new families of LDPC block code ensembles formed by terminating irregular protograph-based LDPC convolutional codes. Using the accumulate-repeat-by-4-jagged-accumulate (AR4JA) protograph as an example, a density evolution analysis for the binary erasure channel shows that this flexible design technique gives rise to a large selection of LDPC block
