Rapporten diskuterar hur en Sanningskommission skulle kunna se ut och bedriva sitt arbete. Denna diskussion innefattar bland annat kommissions sammansättning, mandat och arbetsuppgifter, dess befogenhet och resurser, olika former av offentliggörande, stödprogram för dem som vittar om övergrepp som de utsatts för, samt olika sätt att resonera kring gottgörelse och kompensation för offren. Enligt

This paper will first present an overview of the current state of the art in the measurement and modeling of UWB propagation channels. We will point out the difference between the two main frequency bands of interest (<900MHz and 3.1-10.6 GHz), and describe the kay channel parameters (attenuation, delay spread, arrival time statistics, amplitude statistics) in different environments. We will espec

En kartläggning av exponering för bostadsradon i Skåne och en miljömedicinsk bedömning av dess effekter har genomförts. Som underlag har använts en kartering av markradonpotential från Sveriges geologiska undersökningar (SGU) med beräkningar av befolkningens fördelning baserad på GIS-metodik, uppgifter om bostadsbeståndet, uppgifter om bostadsradonmätningar från Radonutredningens enkät till landet

Den här volymen består av en serie bidrag på temat filosofins nytta. Frågan om filosofins nytta har varit utgångspunkten för de enskilda texterna, men har inte satt gränser för innehållet i dem. Bidragen skär in i varandra på många olika sätt. Att gruppera dem har inte varit lätt. Därför uppmanas läsaren att pröva andra kombinationer än den vi fastnat för. I detta förord vill vi ge en kort beskriv

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) with a fiber-optic contact probe is a cost-effective, rapid, and non-invasive optical method used to extract diagnosis information of tissue. By combining commercially available VIS- and NIR-spectrometers with various fiber-optic contact-probes, we have access to the full wavelength range from around 400 to 1600 nm. Using this flexible and portable spectrosco

'Amsterdam is standing on Norway' - this was a popular saying in the Dutch Republic of the seventeenth century. There was more than one inflection to the phrase. Amsterdam was, in the first instance, built atop a subterranean forest of Norwegian origin. But southern Norway was also a vital resource zone, subordinated to Amsterdam-based capital. This paper follows the movement of strategic commodit

Measurement of intracardiac kinetic energy (KE) provides new insights into cardiac hemodynamics and may improve assessment and understanding of heart failure. We therefore aimed to investigate left ventricular (LV) KE time curves in patients with heart failure and in controls.

Many key chemical and biochemical reactions, particularly in living cells, take place in confined space at the mesoscopic scale. Toward understanding of physicochemical nature of biomacromolecules confined in nanoscale space, in this work we have elucidated fluorescence effects of a light harvesting complex LH2 in nanoscale chemical environments. Mesoporous silicas (SBA-15 family) with different s

Over the last years an expanding family of small RNAs (i.e. microRNAs, siRNAs and piRNAs) was recognized as key players in diverse forms of gene silencing and chromatin organization. Effectors functions of these small RNAs are achieved through ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes containing at their center an Argonaute/Piwi protein. Although these proteins and their small RNA-associated machinery can

SO2 plays an important role in the atmospheric chemistry of the Earth, Venus, and Io. This paper presents photoabsorption cross sections of SO2 from 213 to 325 nm at 198 K, encompassing the (C) over tilde B-1(2) - (X) over tilde (1)A(1) and (B) over tilde B-1(1) - (X) over tilde (1)A(1) electronic bands. These measurements are part of a series of measurements over the 160 to 300 K temperature rang

There is overwhelming evidence that hypertension is an important risk factor for both macrovascular and microvascular complications in patients with diabetes, but the problem remains to identify appropriate goals for preventive therapies. A number of guidelines (the European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) 2007, the Joint National Committee (JNC)-V

Polyethyleneimine (PEI) is an organic polycation used extensively as a gene- and DNA vaccine delivery reagent. Although the DNA targeting activity of PEI is well documented, its immune activating activity is not. We recently reported that PEI has robust mucosal adjuvanticity when administered intranasally with glycoprotein antigens. Here we show that PEI has strong immune activating activity after

Aqueous two-phase systems have frequently been utilized as an efficient bioseparation tool in the downstream processing of different biomolecules. The poly(ethyleneglycol)/poly(acrylate)/salt system, already explored successfully for purification of proteins and plasmid DNA, is here presented as an alternative approach for the isolation of small DNA fragments generated during in vitro DNA polymera

New research indicates that firms combining the science-based STI (Science, Technology, Innovation) and the experience-based DUI (Doing, Using, Interacting) modes of innovation are more efficient when it comes to improving innovation capacity and competitiveness. With regard to innovation policy, the STI mode calls for a supply-driven policy, typically aimed to commercialize research results. The
