The essay examines how contemporary artists directly or indirectly violate laws not only in order to create art, but also to break into—and become recognised by—the artworld. It first discusses two much-debated Swedish artworks—Lars Norén’s play Seven Three (1998) and Anna Odell’s Unknown, woman 2009-349701 (2009)—that have brought about confrontations between individuals and social institutions.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Att kunna lokalisera och bedöma en partner är en av de, evolutionärt sett, viktigaste egenskaperna hos alla sexuellt reproducerande organismer. För att möjliggöra detta använder sig ett djur sig av olika (visuella, taktila, akustiska och kemiska) signaler för inomartskommunikation. Jag har genom att studera kemiska signaler för inomartskommunikation (s.k. feromoner) hoLocating and evaluating a suitable partner for mating is one of the most important events in any sexually reproducing organism. To achieve this, an animal must be able to locate its partner over both long and short distances, and finally evoke the proper mating behaviour. This is made possible by use of conspecific signals picked up by one or several sensory systems, the most well investigated bei
Popular Abstract in English The sesquiterpene lactones is an important group of natural products, and they are present in many medicinal plants. Their most important biological activities are anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activity, although for many decades their potential use as drugs was dismissed. The main reason for this was their alkylating capacity, reacting with thiol functions in proteDamsin (1) is a natural sesquiterpene lactone (SL) isolated from Ambrosia arborescens Mill., a plant used in the Andes as antiinflammatory medicine. This natural product is an inhibitor of NF- κB, a protein complex that controls the transcription of many genes in mammalian cells, and has a potential for standing model for the development of new anti-cancer lead structures. In order to improve the
Whilst Building Information Modelling (BIM) promises significant improvements in construction quality and efficiency, current contractual models do not encourage its use; indeed actively inhibit the collaboration at its core. To help bring BIM into the mainstream, it is claimed we need to re-craft existing contractual relationships to facilitate collaborative decision making and to equitably alloc
The Global Energy Assessment (GEA) brings together over 300 international researchers to provide an independent, scientifically based, integrated and policy-relevant analysis of current and emerging energy issues and options. It has been peer-reviewed anonymously by an additional 200 international experts. The GEA assesses the major global challenges for sustainable development and their linkages
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen ”Vänskap och organisering. En studie av Fountain House-rörelsen” tar sin utgångspunkt i frågan om vad som händer när mentalsjukhusen läggs ner. Bakgrunden är den process som kallas avinstitutionaliseringen, och tidens betoning på integrering, normalisering och självbestämmande. Omstruktureringen av mentalvården har inte varit problemfri i något land. Många The Fountain House Movement – or the Clubhouse Movement - is an organization for community support, meeting the needs of adults suffering from mental illness. It was founded by a self-help group among discharged patients in New York in the 1940s. Today there are more than 300 clubhouses around the world. The aim of this dissertation is to characterize, interpret and understand the Clubhouse Moveme
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning på svenska Datortolkning av myokardscintigrafibilder Kärlkramp och hjärtinfarkt sammanfattas ibland under benämningen ischemisk hjärtsjukdom, en vanligt förekommande sjukdom i många industriländer. Sjukdomen beror främst på förträngningar i hjärtats kranskärl, dvs. de kärl som förser hjärtmuskulaturen med blod. Sjukdomen går att behaIn the studies of this thesis, a method for automated classification of myocardial perfusion images was successfully developed and evaluated. The results show that the method, based on artificial neural networks, was equally good, or even better than human experts. It was also found that physicians interpreting myocardial perfusion images benefit from the advice of the artificial neural networks.
