Den globala rättviserörelsen i svenska medier : Hegemoniska formationer i relationen mellan journalistik och kapitalism
- 2011
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The mobilisations against global summits towards the end of the last millennium, and the creation of the World Social Forum (WSF) in 2001, made an emerging global network of social movements visible. This thesis analyses media representations of the global justice movement, with the intention of exploring the relation between journalism and hegemonic formations in the capitalist system. The analysis includes representations of social mobilisations against global summits between 1999 and 2007, and the WSF between 2001 and 2007, in all Swedish daily newspapers. The analysis draws on theories of journalism as a social institution, and Gramsci’s concept of hegemonic formations.Using critical discourse analysis (CDA), the dissertation reveals that the representation of protests subordinates political aspects to violence, and that discursive violence presupposes physical violence. The protests are generally defined from of a hegemonic position of the political, but sometimes protest emerges in relation to legitimate political departure points. Simultaneously it is also downplayed as anti-political. The representation of WSF is more heterogeneous. It is portrayed as: an alternative, an anti-movement, and a carnival. Some aspects of violence are also highlighted through the presence of absent violence. The representations both reproduce a hegemonic order, and in some cases highlight hegemonic struggle.The thesis concludes that the global justice movement actualizes relations between dominance and resistance in the global system, but that the distance between the social mobilization and the Swedish context, transforms the protests and the WSF to temporary and partly isolated events. The historical continuity in the relations between social mobilization and news journalism shows that social movements cannot rely upon conventional news coverage.

- Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized in the majority of cases by a t(9;22)(q34;q11) translocation, also called the Philadelphia chromosome, giving rise to the BCR-ABL1 fusion protein. Current treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors is directed against the constitutively active ABL1 domain of the fusion protein, and minimal residual disease (MRD) after therapy is monitored by real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) of the fusion transcript. Here, we describe a novel approach to detect and enumerate cells positive for the BCR-ABL1 fusion protein by combining the in situ proximity ligation assay with flow cytometry as readout (PLA-flow). By targeting of the BCR and ABL1 parts of the fusion protein with one antibody each, and creating strong fluorescent signals through rolling circle amplification, PLA-flow allowed sensitive detection of cells positive for the BCR-ABL1 fusion at frequencies as low as one in 10,000. Importantly, the flow cytometric results correlated strongly to those of RQ-PCR, both in diagnostic testing and for MRD measurements over time. In summary, we believe this flow cytometry-based method can serve as an attractive approach for routine measurement of cells harboring BCR-ABL1 fusions, also allowing simultaneously assessment of other cell surface markers as well as sensitive longitudinal follow-up.

Allowing or fighting social anxiety : The role of psychological inflexibility in a non-clinical population

- In an acceptance-based model of what maintains social anxiety, the focus is on counterproductive attempts to control unpleasant internal experiences through avoidance of them. An example of such an avoidance strategy, especially prominent among socially anxious women, is rumination. According to this model, the road to recovery for people suffering from social anxiety is through increased acceptance of internal experiences. This process is also referred to as decreasing an individual’s ‘psychological inflexibility’. The overall aim of the current study was to examine the relationship between psychological inflexibility and social anxiety in a non-clinical population. We used cluster analysis to examine subgroups with different individual profiles of symptoms of social anxiety/avoidance and psychological inflexibility. The clusters were examined in relation to depressive symptoms, rumination, and the moderating effect of gender. The design was cross-sectional and consisted of 219 university students (101 men, 118 women; M age = 23 years). Four clusters were generated, whereof two (the Multidimensional Problem cluster and the No Problem cluster) reflected a strong positive relationship between social anxiety/avoidance and psychological inflexibility, however in different ways. Gender did not act as a mod-erator. However, people in the Multidimensional Problem cluster reported higher degree of depressive symptoms as well as higher levels of rumination compared to the other clusters. To conclude, psychological inflexibility seems to be related not only to symptoms of ill-health such as social anxiety and depressive symptoms but also to control strategies such as rumination.
