1. Marital status and birthrate of deaf people in two Swedish counties: the impact of social environment in terms of deaf community

Abstract

Deafness affects many social interactions. The impact of deafness depends on several factors, e.g., the type of social environment in terms of the particular Deaf community a person lives in. The authors recorded the birthrate and the proportions of married and divorced people among deaf people in two Swedish counties: Narke, which had a strong Deaf community, and Varmland, whose Deaf community was weak. In both counties, the authors found that deafness was associated with low marriage rates and low birthrates. Further, in Narke, 99% of the people in the sample were married to another deaf person; only 10% were in Varmland. In Narke, the divorce rate among deaf people was about the same as that of the reference population (i.e., the county's marriage-age population). In Varmland, deaf people had a relatively low divorce rate. The findings are discussed from medical and social perspectives.

2. Evidence for digenic inheritance of nonsyndromic hereditary hearing loss in a Swedish family

Abstract

Two genes with additive affect appear to segregate together with impaired hearing in a Swedish family exhibiting nonsyndromic progressive bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Of thirteen candidate loci tested for linkage, significant LOD scores were obtained for markers at locus DFNA 12 (11q22-q24); scores were also suggestive for markers at locus DFNA2 (1p32). Individuals with haplotypes linked to the disease allele on either chromosome 1 or chromosome 11 had less severe hearing loss than those with haplotypes linked to the disease allele on both chromosomes.

Abstract

Knowledge and information have become an essential asset determining the profitability of technology-intensive enterprises. In knowledge-based industries, knowledge and information can be marketed to potential partners or clients separately from the products and services that are based on the application of specific knowledge. In the new, global computer-intensive economy, the knowledge base of the economy can determine the approval of an enterprise as a producer of future solutions. This means that it is crucial that enterprises identify and develop their knowledge base, not least in their market relationships. Knowledge emerges in network relationships between an enterprise and its surrounding organisations, and can be legally protected as intellectual property (IP). A clearer notion of the way IP can be analysed may improve the economic outcome of investments in innovation. Relationship marketing clearly has a role in the marketing of technological innovation and product development. A high-tech enterprise faces several decisions influencing its position in the market when developing its knowledge base. Key decisions determining the relationships established in a knowledge-intensive market include (i) make or buy decisions; (ii) organisational association or isolation; (iii) the innovation or adaptation of new technology; (iv) the protection or exploitation of knowledge; (v) public or private research funding; (vi) safeguarding or sharing of IP; and (vii) pioneering advantages or disadvantages. Keywords: Information technology; Intellectual property; Knowledge; Relationship marketing
