Political Turning Points: Rhetorical Analyses of Japanese Inauguration Speeches

After centuries of feudalism, the establishment of the Japanese parliament (the Diet) in 1890 marked a major turning point in Japanese history. Before 1890, politics as a subject of discussion was confined, more or less, to peer groups in Japanese society. In addition, at certain periods, movements promoting the spread of ideas were strictly controlled or even prohibited. Then came the new Diet,

Implementing a critical gender perspective in art history/visual culture

Based on the assumption that female students’ academic careers in particular are disadvantaged by canonical art history teaching, the project’s chief goal was to launch strategies for the implementation of critical gender perspectives in all undergraduate courses in the division of Art History and Visual Studies, Lund University, 2004-2006. These strategies included teaching practices derived from

Ingmar Bergman

A chapter in "The Routledge Companion to Director's Shakespeare" about Ingmar Bergman as a Shakespeare interpreter, the relation between Shakespeare on page and stage, and the significance of the stage to understanding Shakespeare's plays.

Identification of abnormally expressed genes in skeletal muscle contributing to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes

The metabolic defects of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes can result from changes in gene expression and protein functions due to genetic and environmental influences. The aim of this study was to identify abnormally expressed genes associated with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, and further to test whether possible defects are inherited or acquired. To achieve this, we used cDNA diff

Identitet och Nationalism i Peru - Quechua-kulturen konfliktens spegel

Spanjorernas erövring "konflikt", Quechuakulturens strategier av motstånd, men också av anpassning. I modern tid; storskalig urbanisering, ekonomisk ruin och inre väpnande konflikter. Med ett Socialantropologiskt synsätt analyserar bokens författare, Johan Cronehed, det peruanska samhället och dess sociala uppbyggnad. Utifrån Quechuaindianernas etniska tillhörighet visar författaren hur det är m

Jesu födelse i ord och bild

The present paper is a comparative study, concerning the birth of Christ as described in pictorial and verbal narrative. These are represented by Scandinavian wall-paintings on the one hand and the Legenda Aurea (LA) c. 1264, Meditationes Vitae Christi (MVChr) c 1300, and the Revelations of S Bridget (RSB) c 1370, on the other.It takes its departure in the Romanesque picture of the Christchild in

New methods for trellis source coding at rates above and below one

This paper presents new methods trellis source coding at rates above and below one. The new schemes have in common a code design based on branch correlation, a large reproducer alphabet, and an encoder based on either the Viterbi algorithm or a tailbiting MAP technique. The methods are easily adapted to various bit rates, but here only the results for R = 2 and R = 1/2 bits per source sample are p

Studies towards ß-turn mimetics, synthesis of kedarosamine from threonine, and synthesis of glycopeptides from mucins and gp120

The secondary structure of proteins is crucial for proper function of the protein in biological systems. Peptide T, an octapeptide from the envelope glycoprotein gp120 of the HIV virus, has previously been shown to be responsible for binding to the CD4 receptor on T helper/inducer lymphocytes. NMR studies showed that the four C-terminal amino acid residues of peptide T adopted a beta-turn conforma

The interrogative model of inquiry and inquiry learning

Hakkarainen and Sintonen (2002) praise the descriptive adequacy of Hintikka's Interrogative Model of Inquiry (imi) to describe children's practices in an inquiry-based learning context. They further propose to use the imi as a starting point for developing new pedagogical methods and designing new didactic tools. We assess this proposal in the light of the formal results that in the imi characteri
