While the popularity of cryptocurrencies has seen a dramatic uptick as of late, the general phenomenon still carries with it a high level of novelty. The inception of cryptocurrencies began with Bitcoin in late 2008, making its first appearance on a cryptographic community forum, posted by a yet to be identified entity carrying the pseudonym Satoshi Nakomoto. The phenomenon has since grown tremend
Global climate projections forecast more frequent, intense and longer heat waves in the decades ahead. Heat waves are considered the most dangerous extreme weather event for human health, with impacts most pronounced in cities because of the urban heat island effect. Heat-related mortality rates are highest in certain at-risk populations, like the elderly. Toronto, Canada’s largest city, faces two

What level of influence should market actors be allowed to exert over consumers’ transactional decisions? While persuasive marketing is inherent to free markets and therefore uncontroversial, relatively recent research in the field of behavioural economics about systemic errors in human decision-making has shown just how susceptible consumers are to the will of market actors. Within a rapidly evol
One of the leading causes of biodiversity loss and species communities’ alteration is land-use change for agricultural purposes. Land-use may affect pollinators directly or indirectly via the plant communities. A better understanding of plant community and pollinators interactions can be important to comprehend the potential for management to support pollinating insects in different habitats. This
I demokratiska länder anses yttrandefriheten vara ett av de viktigaste verkty-gen för att garantera och säkerställa ett demokratiskt styrelseskick, och i Sve-rige finns en tradition av en långtgående yttrandefrihet. Yttrandefriheten ham-nar dock ofta i konflikt med andra skyddsvärda intressen. Med de senaste årets offentliga koranbränningar har en sådan konflikt fått mycket uppmärk-samhet, nämligeIn democratic countries, freedom of speech is considered an indispensable tool to guarantee and ensure democratic governance, and in Sweden, that free-dom is particularly far reaching. However, this freedom often conflicts with other interests worthy of protection. With the past years’ burning of Qurans, such a conflict has come to the surface, in which freedom of speech stands against the crime o

An important function for the human body is the ability to maintain balance. This has been compared to a sixth sense whose function we would have difficulties to be without. The system of balance is a complex system which uses several different sensors to get a satisfactory image of the position and motion of the body. One of the sensors is vision. Our assignment has been to make an equipment for
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den danska riksbildningen presenteras vanligen som en linjär process som knyter ihop forntida hövdingar med den moderna nationalstaten. Avhandlingen fokuserar de små berättelserna bortom den stora berättelsen om Danmark. Avhandlingen argumenterar för att den tidigare forskningen kring den danska riksbildningen kan delas in i tre huvudlinjer: 1. Den danska riksbildningeThe formation of the kingdom of Denmark is generally presented as a linear process linking ancient chiefs to the modern nation state of Denmark. This dissertation focuses on the small stories behind this great narrative of Denmark. The purpose is to show that there never was any formation process. Instead, encounters between people in the local landscapes and the Danish kingdom were both considera
The function of a paper machine is to form the paper sheet and remove the water from the sheet. A modern paper machine is divided into three main parts, the wire section, the press section, and the dryer section. Although the dryer section is only responsible for removing less than 1% of the water volume in the original stock to the head box, this is the part of the paper machine that, by far, con

Species individualistic responses to warming and increased UV-B radiation are moderated by the responses of neighbors within communities, and trophic interactions within ecosystems. All of these responses lead to changes in ecosystem structure. Experimental manipulation of environmental factors expected to change at high latitudes showed that summer warming of tundra vegetation has generally led t
Popular Abstract in Swedish Idag behöver människor som talar, tänker och lever på olika sätt mer än någonsin kunna kommunicera med varandra. Ett självklart språk för dessa kontakter är för en svensk ofta engelska. Det lär sig varje elev under minst tio år i vår skola. Men för att kunna förstå andra bättre, fordras också att vi blir medvetna om skilda sätt att uppfatta världen omkring oss. Vi behövThe aim of this study is to examine the prospects of developing intercultural understanding through English as a foreign language (EFL) education in the Swedish comprehensive school.

Complement is a cascade-like system that is part of the innate immune defence. It is an explosive system, potentially harmful also for the host cells, and needs to be strictly regulated. An important down-regulator of complement is C4b-binding protein (C4BP). C4BP contains two different types of subunits, seven identical a-chains and one unique P-chain. The alpha-chains bind to C4b, C4BP's target
