This research examines the consequences of disciplinary time, for the workers at Foxconn in China, based on the monograph “Dying for an iPhone” and poetry by former Foxconn worker Xu Lizhi. Grounded in Fouacauldin disciplinary theory, this research will exhibit what the apparatus of discipline looks like at Foxconn. It will focus on how physical and mental pain occurs when capitalism uses time as
Children's blood-lead concentration (B-Pb) is well studied, but little is known about cadmium (B-Cd) and mercury (B-Hg), in particular for central Europe. Such information is necessary for risk assessment and management. Therefore, we here describe and compare B-Pb, B-Cd and B-Hg in children in six European, and three non-European cities, and identify determinants of these exposures. About 50 scho
Objective. Lack of adherence with pharmacological therapy is a public health concern that compels tremendous costs for the health care system and the community. To analyse the association between socioeconomic disadvantage and primary nonadherence with medication, and to explore possible mediating effects of trust in health care and lifestyle profile. Design. Cross-sectional population-based study
Software process simulation modeling (SPSM) has become an increasingly active research area since its introduction in the late 1980s. Particularly during the last ten years the related research community and the number of publications have been growing. The objective of this research is to provide insights about the evolution of SPSM research during the last 10 years. A systematic literature revie
Objective. To study lymphocyte markers in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-associated interstitial pneumonitis (IP) compared with idiopathic IP. Methods. Paraffin-embedded lung biopsy specimens from patients with RA (n = 15) and from those without RA (n = 16), all of whom had a diagnosis of either nonspecific IP or usual IP, were studied. Tissue sections from each patient were reviewed by a pathologist,
Internationally comparable quality assurance of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA detection and typing methods is essential for evaluation of HPV vaccines and effective monitoring and implementation of HPV vaccination programs. Therefore, the World Health Organisation (WHO) HPV Laboratory Network (LabNet) designed an international proficiency study. Following announcement at the WHO website, respondi
A non-iterative time-domain method for solving the inverse scattering problem for the temporally dispersive, linear, homogeneous, and bi-isotropic slab at normal incidence is presented. The inverse scattering problem is to determine (finite time traces of) the susceptibility kernels of the medium given (finite time traces of) the reflection and transmission kernels, which are obtained by deconvolu
(1) We have isolated radiolabelled proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans produced by human embryonic skin fibroblasts in the presence of (a) cycloheximide to inhibit protein synthesis or (b) brefeldin A to impede transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex or (c) suramin, heparin or primaquine to interfere with internalization, recycling and degradation. Effects on glycosamino
Laser-induced fluorescence has been used for the identification of brain tumours in rats, which have been previously given tumour-seeking haematoporphyrin derivative. A pulsed nitrogen laser (λ=337 nm) was used in conjunction with an optical multichannel analyzer. For both inoculated RG-2 and TCVC rat-brain-tumour models, the blue autofluorescence was strongly reduced in the tumour compared with
Background Ligands of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-alpha) have been shown to reduce ischaemia/reperfusion injury. The mechanisms behind this effect are not well known. We hypothesized that activation of PPAR-alpha exerts cardioprotection via a mechanism related to nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1). Methods Five groups of anaesthetized open-chest Sprague-Dawley rat
Jag vill diskutera det som den amerikanska pedagogen Adrianna Kezar i en artikel från 2007 kallar campus ethos, där siktet är inställt på att skapa samhörighet mellan enskilda studenter och en institution, fånga upp deras engagemang och att få studenterna att känna sig välkomna och trygga i en ny gemenskap och bli framgångsrika i sina studier. Hon skriver: ”An ethos may be thought of as a life-giv
Popular Abstract in Swedish Moderns rökning under graviditet och risk för medfödda missbildningar. Ungefär två procent av alla nyfödda föds med någon missbildning såpass allvarlig att den rapporteras till missbildningsregistret och/eller till det medicinska födelseregistret. Trots alla samhälleliga insatser för att minska rökningen (speciellt i samband med graviditet) så röker (1996) 16% av de grAbout two percent of Swedish newborn infants are born with a significant congenital malformations which is reported to the Swedish Registry of Congenital Malformations (RCM), and/or the Swedish Medical Birth Registry (MBR). In spite of persistent public health recommendations, about 16% of the Swedish pregnant women are smoking during pregnancy (1996). It is well known that maternal smoking during
Computerized systems to localize specific patterns appearing in ECG signal, such as the QRS complex and T wave usually utilize predefined templates. Where the signal is not clean, such as during atrial fibrillation (AF), analysis based on self-similarities of the ECG signal appears to be more stable. The authors describe a software package which uses self-similarity techniques to allow the subtrac
Claudins (CLDNs) are central components of tight junctions that regulate epithelial-cell barrier function and polarity. Altered CLDN expression patterns have been demonstrated in numerous cancer types and lineage-specific CLDNs have been proposed as therapy targets. The objective of this study was to assess which fraction of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) express CLDN6 and CLDN18
A single intradermal injection of the adjuvant-oil squalene induces T cell mediated arthritis in DA rats. The chain of events leading from nonspecific provocation of the immune system to arthritis is largely unknown. Previous studies have demonstrated that lymph node (LN) cells are of pathogenic importance, i.e. cells from LNs draining the injection site can transfer arthritis to naïve DA rats. Re
