Context. The Gaia DR3 catalogue contains, for the first time, about 800 000 solutions with either orbital elements or trend parameters for astrometric, spectroscopic, and eclipsing binaries, and combinations of these three. Aims. With this paper, we aim to illustrate the huge potential of this large non-single-star catalogue. Methods. Using the orbital solutions and models of the binaries, we have
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE: Atypical anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) nephritis is characterized by a bright linear immunoglobulin staining along the GBM by immunofluorescence without a diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis nor serum anti-GBM antibodies by conventional ELISA. We characterized a series of patients with atypical anti-GBM disease.STUDY DESIGN: Case series.SETTING & PARTICIP
In atrial fibrillation (AF), the ECG P-wave, which represents atrial depolarization, is replaced with chaotic and irregular fibrillation waves (f waves). The f-wave frequency, F f, shows significant variations over time. Cardiorespiratory interactions regulated by the autonomic nervous system have been suggested to play a role in such variations. We conducted a simulation study to test whether
Context. Gaia-CRF3 is the celestial reference frame for positions and proper motions in the third release of data from the Gaia mission, Gaia DR3 (and for the early third release, Gaia EDR3, which contains identical astrometric results). The reference frame is defined by the positions and proper motions at epoch 2016.0 for a specific set of extragalactic sources in the (E)DR3 catalogue. Aims. We d
The undrained shear strength of cohesive soils is an important parameter to assess in geotechnical investigations. It is normally evaluated with the cone penetration test (CPT) but problems with penetrating coarse, heterogeneous materials that is also hard, such as clay till, have pointed the interest towards other possible in-situ methods. This has led to studies assessing the possibility to eval
SpectraCure AB is a start-up company aiming at treating internal solid tumours such as prostate tumours with an innovative technology called ‘Interstitial Photodynamic Therapy’. This treatment requires the use of fibres to deliver the amount of light required to activate a drug injected to the patient which leads to the destruction of the tumours. This treatment is patient-based which means that t
Årtionden efter att internationella klimatförhandlingar inleddes tampas världen fortfarande med den grundläggande frågeställningen hur klimatåtgärder skall mobiliseras. Samtidigt stiger kostnaderna till följd av vår passivitet. Det har visat sig nästintill omöjligt för det internationella samfundet att göra upp om ett gemensamt, bindande regelverk för klimatpåverkan. Även på regional och lokal nivSeveral decades after the initiation of international climate change negotiations, the world still struggles with the issue of how to mobilize climate action. In the meantime, the costs of inaction rise to unprecedented heights. It has proven more than difficult – even impossible for the international society to agree upon a binding common framework, and also on regional and local levels are regul
Abstract: The controversial issue of ‘missing girls’ has been a cause of concern since the time of the British rule in India. Most research studies pointed towards a demographic pattern of its occurrence, the Northwestern plains of India saw an alarming scarcity of girl children. Since then many studies focused at examining the economic and socio-cultural factors motivating the missing girl phenom
Svaga riktlinjer utan verkan? Sedan vi människor började bruka jorden för mer än 10 000 år sedan, har vi haft nytta av humlor och bin som pollinerat våra grödor och spindlar och skalbaggar som ätit upp skadeinsekter som t.ex. bladlöss. Dessa och många andra så kallade ekosystemtjänster riskerar nu att försvinna allteftersom människan gör anspråk på större och större ytor och brukar jorden allt inAbstract Biodiversity continues to decline worldwide and this is threatening the provisioning of ecosystem services. The EU has a target of halting the loss of biodiversity and the degradation of ecosystem services in the union by the year 2020. In the reformed Common Agricultural Policy that will take effect in the EU in 2014, three greening measures are included to meet the reform objectives fo
Lagstiftaren har gjort bedömningen att barn i åldrarna 15-17 år bör skyddas från vissa sexuella handlingar och därför har man kriminaliserat köp av sexuell handling av barn. För att ansvar ska kunna utkrävas måste gärningspersonen ha uppsåt ifråga om alla omständigheter utom barnets ålder, där måste denne endast agerat oaktsamt. Enligt 6:13 BrB kan en person dömas för köp av sexuell handling av baThe legislator has determined that children in the ages of 15-17 years should be protected from certain sexual acts and therefore it has been criminalized to purchase sexual acts from children. In order for liability to be claimed the perpetrator must have intent about all circumstances but the child’s age, where he must only act negligently. According to 6:13 in the criminal code a person can be
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate motivational factors of auditors as well as inter-group differences. In addition, our study aims to answer whether the auditors' motivations match the incentives provided by the firms. Methodology: For this study, we chose a quantitative research method in form of surveys to auditors from eight multinational audit firms in Sweden as well as
This study analyzed highly detailed long-term information about occurrence of cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) and the fish community composition in lake Krankesjön, southern Sweden. Moreover, cormorant predation with regards to species and size preference were estimated using data from recovered PIT (Passive Integrated Transponders) tags. The results shows that the cormorant population h
The aim of this paper is to investigate the exposure of Fair Trade (FT) importers in Germany, operating based on the principles of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), to foreign exchange (FX) rate risk in the light of the current depreciation of the Euro. The ongoing high volatility of the Euro exchange rate strongly affects Fair Trade companies that import products mostly from developing co
The ability of microgels to adsorb to the interface of emulsion oil droplets has previously beenn reported in the literature.1 The resulting emulsions carry the thermoresponsiveness of the adsorbed microgels, and can be destabilized on demand by increasing the temperature above the volume phase transition temperature of the microgels. This thesis describes the synthesis and characterization of cro
En stor del av våldsbrotten i Sverige begås av gärningsmän som handlat under självförvållat rus. Hur man straffrättsligt ska behandla den här kategorin av lagöverträdare är ett ämne som givit upphov till debatter kring vad som är den lämpligaste lösningen. Skuldbedömningen för personer som begått brott under inverkan av rusningsmedel har förändrats ett flertal gånger genom svensk rättshistoria, tr
Avtalsfrihet och rätt till domstolsprövning inskränks i svensk rätt genom principen om pactum turpe. Det innebär att avtal som strider mot lag eller goda seder inte anses förtjäna rättsordningens skydd. Avtalsrättsliga ogiltighetsregler syftar många gånger till att skydda den svagare parten i avtalsrelationen, medan pactum turpe civilprocessrättsligt syftar till att skydda samhällets moraluppfattnThe freedom of contract and the right to judicial review are restricted by Swedish law through pactum turpe. This means that agreements contrary to law or good practice are not considered to merit legal protection. The purpose of contractual invalidity aims to protect the weaker party in the contractual relationship, while the principle of pactum turpe aims to protect the moral perception of the s
Uppsatsen undersöker hur Dublinförordningen förhåller sig till Europakonventionen, med fokus på artikel 8 om rätten till respekt för privatliv, familjeliv, hem och korrespondens. Dublinförordningen är det instrument i EU:s gemensamma asylsystem som bestämmer vilken medlemsstat som ska ansvara för att pröva en inkommen asylansökan. På senare år har mycket kritik riktats mot Dublinförordningen p.g.aThe essay examines how the Dublin Regulation relates to the European Convention on human rights, focusing on Article 8 on the right to respect for privacy, family life, home and correspondence. The Dublin Regulation is the instrument of the EU's Common Asylum System, which determines which Member State will be responsible for examining an asylum application. In recent years, much criticism has
