Effects of morphine and nalorphine upon tooth pulp thresholds of dogs in the alert and drowsy state

The alteration of tooth pulp thresholds of dogs with chronically implanted electrodes was determined in the awake and drowsy states after morphine and nalorphine. The elevation in tooth pulp threshold was significantly greater after morphine than during the alert or drowsy state of the animal. Nalorphine antagonized this effect of morphine.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/46329/1/213_2004_Article_BF00441191.pd

Why are care workers from the global south disadvantaged? Inequality and discrimination in Swedish elderly care work

Using quantitative and qualitative methods, this study investigates inequalities in occupational status and wages between native-born and foreign-born employees in elderly care institutions in Sweden. It finds that employees from Africa, Asia and Latin America - the "Global South" - are disadvantaged in both respects. Combinatory explanations of the inequalities are needed. The shorter work experience of foreign-born workers in the care sector plus the lesser value given to educational credentials obtained outside Sweden are among the factors related to human capital theory. Access to less-valuable resources in the workplace social networks of foreign-born employees is related to social capital theory. The processes that result in exclusion from powerful social networks, in turn, are found to be affected by discrimination in the workplace
