Livsåskådning, människosyn och gudsuppfattning - några centrala analyskategorier
No full textDet verkar bli allt vanligare i Sverige idag, men också på andra ställen i världen, att människor tycker att det är något märkligt med att tro på Gud eller att vara religiös. Gudstron utgör inte längre en reell möjlighet utan framstår för många som något oförnuftigt, irrationellt och ovetenskapligt. Vissa uppfattar till och med religion som ett direkt hot mot ett civiliserat och demokratiskt samhälle. Detta utgör en utmaning för verksamma och blivande lärare i religionskunskap, som är den huvudsakliga målgruppen för denna bok. I Att undervisa om människosyner och gudsuppfattningar finns bidrag som diskuterar mindre kända områden i och utanför "världsreligionernas" landskap, men det finns också kapitel som fördjupar och breddar perspektiven på till exempel hinduism, kristendom och islam. Boken behandlar frågan om människosyn och gudsuppfattningar inom religionens område ur ett mer generellt perspektiv, men tar även upp dessa frågor relaterat till sekulära livsåskådningar, ateism, religiös tro och vetenskap. Varje kapitel avslutas med några reflekterande frågor. Författarna är alla forskare inom religionsvetenskap, religionshistoria, teologi och filosofi. De olika bidragen knyter an till skrivningarna i kurs- och ämnesplanerna för religionskunskap och är tänkta att ge lärarstudenter och lärare möjlighet att utveckla fördjupade ämneskunskaper som kan inspirera till en undervisning som står på god vetenskaplig grund
Faith as knowledge : Religious knowledge claims in the writings of Anders Jeffner, Mikael Stenmark and John Polkinghorne
No full textIn this paper I critically discuss the concept of religious knowledge. My aim, based on texts by the religious realists Anders Jeffner, Mikael Stenmark and John Polkinghorne, is to try and find answers to three questions: 1. What do they mean by religious knowledge? 2. What do they mean religious knowledge gives us knowledge of? 3. With which arguments and discursive and rhetorical strategies do they defend their answers to the above questions? I conclude that Jeffner, Stenmark and Polkinghorne have similar ontological and epistemo- logical perspectives. According to them, reality is not one, but consists of different layers or dimensions. Science is only suited to study the dimension of reality that we have access to through our senses. The study of divine or transcendent reality requires other forms of investigations, resulting in another form of knowledge, often called religious knowledge. The topics in religious knowledge are ethics, esthetics, values, meaning, purpose and spirituality. The relation between truth and religious knowledge is that religious knowledge is supposed to be epistemically true and, unlike scientific knowledge, true in the respect of guiding the believer successfully through life. Jeffner, Stenmark and Polkinghorne use different strategies and arguments to defend their positions. Some are philosophically grounded, and others are of a more rhetorical character. Some of the defense mechanisms are integral parts of their religious worldview, and others can be seen as various immunizing strategies. According to my interpretation I have labeled their different strategies:” reality stratified”,” the shortcomings of science”,” to choose worldview”, ”straw men”, ”the ignorant opponent”, “religious experiences”, ”different but still similar” and “the use of concepts”. As far as I´m concerned, Jeffner, Stenmark and Polkinghorne haven´t, in view of their religious realism, successfully argued for the claim that there actually exists a form of knowledge that ought to be called religious knowledge. They have not, to my mind, more than as a logical possibility, shown examples of this kind of religious knowledge and successfully argued for its kinship to knowledge as true, justified belief. With a little help from Bourdieu, I have also tried to show that Jeffner, Stenmark and Polkinghorne are participants in a discursive apologetic battle, where the combatants are armed with different forms of symbolic capital
Rabaptin-5 is a direct effector of the small GTPase Rab5 in endocytic membrane fusion
No full textWe have identified a novel 100 kDa coiled-coil protein, rabaptin-5, that specifically interacts with the GTP form of the small GTPase Rab5, a potent regulator of endocytic transport. It is mainly cytosolic, but a fraction colocalizes with Rab5 to early endosomes. Expression of a GTPase-deficient Rab5 mutant enhances the binding of rabaptin-5 to enlarged endosomes. Overexpression of rabaptin-5 alone is sufficient to promote expansion of early endosomes. Rab5 recruits rabaptin-5 to purified early endosomes in a GTP-dependent manner, demonstrating functional similarities with other members of the Ras superfamily. Immunodepletion of rabaptin-5 from cytosol strongly inhibits Rab5-dependent early endosome fusion. Rabaptin-5 is thus a Rab effector required for membrane docking and fusion

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Distinct Rab-binding domains mediate the interaction of Rabaptin-5 with GTP-bound Rab4 and Rab5
No full textRabaptin-5 functions as an effector for the small GTPase Rab5, a regulator of endocytosis and early endosome fusion. We have searched for structural determinants that confer functional specificity on Rabaptin-5. Here we report that native cytosolic Rabaptin-5 is present in a homodimeric state and dimerization depends upon the presence of its coiled-coil predicted sequences. A 73 residue C-terminal region of Rabaptin-5 is necessary and sufficient both for the interaction with Rab5 and for Rab5-dependent recruitment of the protein on early endosomes. Surprisingly, we uncovered the presence of an additional Rab-binding domain at the N-terminus of Rabaptin-5. This domain mediates the direct interaction with the GTP-bound form of Rab4, a small GTPase that has been implicated in recycling from early endosomes to the cell surface. Based on these results, we propose that Rabaptin-5 functions as a molecular linker between two sequentially acting GTPases to coordinate endocytic and recycling traffic
