   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Home movies; amateur film; non-theatrical film; moving images; archiving; film archives; American South; Mississippi; Jim Crow; race; whiteness; witnessing; ordinary; filmvetenskap; Cinema Studies;

   Abstract : This study investigates the ways in which private home movies are transformed into curated archival objects. Through the concept of the archival home movie, it explores the impact of preservation and content description on access, use, and, thus, regional historiography. READ MORE

4. 2. Essays on the Transmission of Human Capital and the Impact of Technological Change

   Author : Adrian Adermon; Mikael Lindahl; Magnus Gustavsson; Markus Jäntti; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; education; intergenerational mobility; sibling correlations; natural experiment; copyright; music; movies; file sharing; piracy; inequality; job polarization; task-biased technological change; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

   Abstract : Essay 1: If grandparents have an independent impact on their grandchildren's schooling, intergenerational correlations estimated using two generations will underestimate the true level of intergenerational persistence in education. Recent research has found such multi-generational effects, but there is still no consensus on whether these estimates are due to a direct impact of grandparents on their grandchildren, or if they arise because of measurement error or model misspecification.

5. 3. Out of Site : Landscape and Cultural Reflexivity in New Hollywood Cinema 1969-1974

6. 4. Crystallography in Four Dimensions : Methods and Applications

   Author : Gunilla Carlsson; Janos Hajdu; Dieter Oesterhelt; Vilmos Fülöp; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biophysics; horseradish peroxidase; redox reactions; X-ray crystallography; haem catalysis; molecular movies; radiation damage; Molekylär biofysik; Molecular biophysics; Molekylär biofysik;

   Abstract : The four-electron reduction of dioxygen to water is the most exothermic non-photochemical reaction available to biology. A detailed molecular description of this reaction is needed to understand oxygen-based redox processes. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is a haem-containing redox enzyme capable of catalysing the reduction of dioxygen to water. READ MORE
