This article presents the work of Swedish film-maker and independent producer Carl Slättne (b. 1937) and analyses his film Urskogen eller kulturen!/‘Wilderness or Civilization!’ (1985). The film is discussed in relation to the concept of the essay film as it has been developed in recent writings by Laura Rascaroli and Timothy Corrigan. The formal devices of Slättne’s film are analysed and put into
The knowledge of the Pd II spectrum and term system has been extended by means of observations with Fourier transform and high dispersion photographic instruments in the infrared (8100 - 40000 Angstrom) and ultraviolet (1040 - 3100 Angstrom) regions. 320 lines have been classified and measured with high accuracy (+/-0.05-0.003 cm(-1) in the infrared, +/-0.002-0.0005 Angstrom in the ultraviolet). T
Activation of the beta-receptor for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) by its ligand leads to autophosphorylation on a number of tyrosine residues. Here we show that Tyr763 in the kinase insert region is a novel autophosphorylation site, which after phosphorylation binds the protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2. SHP-2 has also previously been shown to bind to phosphorylated Tyr1009 in the PDGF be
INTRODUCTION: Study aim was to find out if patients with Lenke type 1 curve exhibit smaller pedicles and specific pedicle width pattern compared with individuals with no scoliosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 4,828 pedicle width measurements (T1-L5) in 61 consecutive patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis of Lenke type 1 curve, 61 control subjects, and 20 patients with Lenke type 5 curve, were
This article comments on three post-Second-World-War road novels: Kerouac’s On the Road(1957), Robbins’s Even Cowgirls Get the Blues(1976), Atkinson’s Highways and Dance Halls(1995). Framing its perspective within the question of what is involved in creating a 20th-century ‘traveller identity’, it conceptualizes the road in terms of how it historically and generically emerged as a primarily male t
An historical overview of the development of the concept of frontotemporal dementia is presented, regarding the last 30 years, using as a backbone the conferences held on this theme, with a start in 1986 in Lund, Sweden. Since then, a dramatic increase in research activities and publications has rapidly expanded our knowledge in this field, a step necessary for the ultimate goal to find an effecti
The problem of classifying short atrial fibrillatory segments in ambulatory ECG recordings as being either paroxysmal or persistent is addressed by investigating a robust approach to signal characterization. The method comprises preprocessing, estimation of the dominant atrial frequency for the purpose of controlling the subbands of a filter bank, and computation of the relative subband (harmonics
The human kallikrein locus consists of KLK1, the gene of major tissue kallikrein, and 14 genes of kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs) located in tandem on chromosome 19q13.3-13.4. In this review, based on information retrieved from the literature or extracted from genome databases, it is hypothesised that the kallikrein locus is unique to mammals. The majority of genes are highly conserved, as de
