Background: Proteolytic Clostridium botulinum is the causative agent of botulism, a severe neuroparalytic illness. Given the severity of botulism, surprisingly little is known of the population structure, biology, phylogeny or evolution of C. botulinum. The recent determination of the genome sequence of C. botulinum has allowed comparative genomic indexing using a DNA microarray. Results: Whole ge
Background: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are severe neurodevelopmental disorders with the male:female ratio of 4:1, implying the contribution of X chromosome genetic factors to the susceptibility of ASD. The ribosomal protein L10 (RPL10) gene, located on chromosome Xq28, codes for a key protein in assembling large ribosomal subunit and protein synthesis. Two non-synonymous mutations of RPL10,
Popular Abstract in Swedish Diabetes mellitus, kronisk njursjukdom samt aterosklerotisk hjärtsjukdom utgör de vanligaste orsakerna till hjärt-kärlsjukdom och för tidig dödlighet. Dessa sjukdomar har blivit ett stort världsomfattande hälsoproblem med ökande prevalens och incidens. Tidig identifiering av patienter som ligger i riskzonen for komplikationer, framförallt hjärt-kärl komplikationer, tordRisk stratification of patients with chronic kidney disease and atherosclerotic heart disease is crucial. Microalbuminuria (MA) is associated with an increased risk of kidney and cardiovascular (CV) death, especially in patients with diabetes. However, MA in many instances is not sensitive for disease outcome; for instance, not all diabetic patients with albuminuria progress to kidney failure, and
This project explored the usage and effectiveness of a natural water filtration system using xylem from Picea Abies, or Norway Spruce. The project is concentrated on the region of southeast and south Asia where people suffer from water contamination, providing a concept of a water filter with comprehensive protection against waterborne diseases. The study implemented secondary research on product
Food consumption is one of the main areas of concern if we should become successful in creating a sustainable future. However, there are diverse views on what sustainability is, and consumers have varied knowledge and commitment to consuming sustainable food. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the impact of consumer understanding of food labels on sustainable purchase behaviour and to explor
Along with globalization, the use of credit cards has become popular among Chinese urban residents; China has witnessed the tremendous growth in the accumulated number of credit cards issued and the amount of credit loans utilized. The new-classical consumption theory holds individuals responsible for the use of credit loans, however, from Veblen’s institutional perspective, the use of credit card
This thesis examines the extent to which lobbyists bring democratic value to the policy-formulation and decision-making stages of the EU policy process. It is examined through a single case study of the amendment of Directive 2001/83/EC. By adopting an actor-centered institutionalism perspective and through theoretical discussion on Robert Keohane, Fritz Scharpf and Pieter Bouwen, this thesis bui
Syftet med föreliggande uppsats är att utreda huruvida ockerparagrafen er-bjuder ett effektivt skydd mot tvångsarbete i Sverige och om så inte är fallet utreda förutsättningarna för en ny kriminalisering. För att uppfylla syftet utreds hur tvångsarbete definieras och vilket eller vilka skyddsintressen som aktualiseras. Vidare utreds om ockerparagrafen är utformad på ett effektivt sätt för att skydThe purpose with this paper is to examine whether or not the usury clause offers a satisfactory protection against forced labor in Sweden and if so is not the case investigate the prerequisites for a new criminalization. To com-plete the purpose a definition of forced labor is performed and what or which protective interests that are prevalent. The paper also discuss if the usury clause is designe
Att polisen använder sig av provokativa åtgärder i brottsbekämpningen är i viss mån accepterat i Sverige. Brottsprovokation och bevisprovokation anses vara nödvändiga metoder för att bekämpa allvarlig och organiserad brottslighet och har blivit ett allt vanligare inslag i polisens arbete sedan början av 1980-talet. Sedan dess har även en förändring skett vad gäller inställningen till den provoceraThe use of provocative investigative measures is in Sweden an accepted method in the control of crime. These measures are considered to be essential parts in the fight against serious and organized criminality and have become a more commonly used instrument for the police since the early 1980’s. Since then, there has been a change concerning how a criminal is treated legally after being subject to
Today, many cities around the world are looking for means to reduce their consumption-originated emissions and in this way improve their sustainability. Consequently, local governments are becoming increasingly interested in the potential of the ‘sharing economy’ (SE). By enabling the consumption of resources and services through sharing as opposed to purchasing goods for ownership, urban sharing
Den här uppsatsen handlar om tillämpningen av barnets bästa i vårdnadstvister som föregåtts av umgängessabotage. När vårdnaden om ett barn ska beslutas ska avgörandet göras efter vad som är barnets bästa. Umgängessabotage utgör en omständighet av särskild betydelse i avvägningen mellan olika intressen som alla kan tala för barnets bästa. Därtill är ett barns bästa inte alltid det bästa för ett annThe purpose of this paper is to examine the adjudication of the child's best interest in custody trials preceded by one parent preventing the other parent from contact with the child. In custody trials, the best interest of the child is always the primary consideration. Preventing the other parent from contact with the child constitute a circumstance of particular importance in the determinati
Denna uppsats ämnar undersöka, analysera och diskutera försvarlighetsbedömningar vid förtal enligt brottsbalken. Uppsatsen söker svaret på hur bedömningen går till samt hur den bör gå till. Undersökningen är begränsad till att omfatta förtal begångna på sociala medier då någon blivit utpekad som brottsling. Uppsatsen avhandlar även aspekten vad som är relevant vid en försvarlighetsbedömning vid föThis paper investigates, analyzes and discusses defense assessments in slander cases, as defined by the Swedish Penal Code. It looks at how assessments currently proceed rela- tive to how they could potentially be handled differently. This survey is limited to cover- ing slander committed on social media when someone has been singled out as a criminal. Our thesis also addresses what is relevant in
Surrogatskap är en aktuell och omdebatterad fråga. Varken altruistiska eller kommersiella surrogatskap är tillåtna i Sverige. Surrogatskap är en relativt ny företeelse och diskuterades för första gången på 1980-talet i riksdagen. Till en början var de flesta partier restriktivt inställda och talade om surrogatskap som en främmande och osedlig företeelse. Med åren öppnades det dock upp för en diskuSurrogacy is a current and often debated issue. Neither altruistic nor commercial surrogacy is allowed in Sweden. When surrogacy was first discussed in the 1980s most parties were restrictive and spoke of surrogacy as a foreign and immoral phenomenon. Over the years, however, more parties have opened up for discussing the matter. In SOU 2016: 11, the possibility of surrogacy in Sweden was investi
Early-life health shocks can have very serious long-term consequences for those exposed to them, a fact which must be considered when parents make decisions with regards to allocating resources across their children. Here, the 1980 famine in Karamoja, Uganda is used as a natural experiment in which to test whether parental investment responses reinforce or compensate the impacts of early-life shoc
Medlingsinstitutet är en alternativ konflikthantering där parterna ges möjlighet att påverka konfliktens lösning och att återställa lugnet parterna emellan. Transaktioner är inte alltid friktionsfria och situationer kan uppstå där en av parterna vill föra saken inför domstol. Det är inte ovanligt att ombud i dessa situationer hotar om stämning som en skrämseltaktik för att ge sin part en hävstång.The Mediation Institute is a form of dispute resolution alternative to the judicial process where the parties may impact with the process and can influence the outcome, all in the purpose of restoring the calm between the parties. Transactions are not always successful and may result in a dispute where one party is inclined to take the dispute to court. It is not unusual that a part’s lawyer uses
