Främlingskap och tolkning : en vänbok till Charles Westin
- 2008

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Boken är en vänbok till Charles Westin. Bokens syfte är att forskarkolleger presenterar aktuella studier om migration, pedagogik, skrivandets konst, tolkning och främlingskap – områden där Charles själv lämnat viktiga bidrag. Vår förhoppning är att boken ska ge inspiration, kunskap och glädje i den generösa och medmänskliga anda som präglat Charles eget arbete. Bokens titel lyfter fram två begrepp som framstår som särskilt centrala i Charles verk: främlingskap och tolkning. Det sistnämnda knyter an till Charles ursprungliga metodologiska hemvist i den hermeneutiska tolkningstraditionen inom gruppen för Invandrings- och minoritetsforskning på Pedagogiska institutionen vid Stockholms universitet. Begreppet främlingskap syftar på Charles särskilda intresse för människor som faller utanför det bekanta och välkända som vi tenderar att uppfatta som normalt. Det kan gälla immigranter från en annan kultur, människor som är främlingar i sitt eget samhälle därför att de kategoriseras som romer eller samer eller personer som är beredda att tortera andra och därmed framstår som omöjliga att förstå.

- The brain vasculature has several specific features, one of them being the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which supports and protects the brain by allowing for the passage of oxygen and nutrients, while at the same time preventing passage of pathogens and toxins. The BBB also prevents efficient delivery of drugs to the brain, e.g. for treatment of brain tumors. In the murine brain, perivascular fibroblasts were recently identified as a novel potential constituent of the BBB. Here we present the existence of human cells that could be the equivalent to the murine brain perivascular fibroblasts. Using RNA sequencing, we show a similar transcriptomic profile of cultured human brain cells and murine perivascular fibroblasts. These data open up a window for new hypotheses on cell types involved in human CNS diseases.

- Background: The species-rich flora of southern Africa comprises a high number of endemics, including succulents such as the flowering stones in the genus Lithops, but conservation status for these species is not well underpinned because detailed field data and assessments of genetic diversity are lacking.Objectives: We wanted to assess plant abundance and identify factors that may affect survival in Lithops ruschiorum through carefully conducted field surveys, and to determine amount and partitioning of genetic variation by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis.Method: Field surveys were carried out in nine populations in Namibia. The most meticulously studied population was divided into 51 sites, while another 43 sites were recognised in the remaining eight populations. At each site, occupied area and number of plants were recorded as well as altitude, aspect, slope, soil texture and substrate. Amplified fragment length polymorphism markers were employed to study 52 individuals from seven populations. Results: In total, 8465 individuals were recorded. Plant density and/or plant number was associated with aspect, slope, soil texture, substrate and geographic distance from the coast. Analysis of molecular variation showed that 95% of the variability occurs within populations. Genetic and geographic distances among populations were correlated suggesting an isolation-by-distance pattern.Conclusion: Results are concordant with a strong impact of fog-based precipitation on plant density in the coastal populations, whereas rain probably is more important at one population which is situated further inland. Within-population genetic variation was medium high as usually reported for perennial, outcrossing species, but the low population differentiation implies considerable gene flow and/or population fragmentation.
