The central role of solar photovoltaics (PV) energy to facilitate transition of energy systems leads to the global diffusion of solar PV systems. Despite increasing deployment, the adoption of solar PV systems still faces numerous barriers. The existence of a business model can contribute to the removal of barriers, and further catalyze solar PV development. This study carries out an assessment to

Chemerin is a recently discovered adipokine shown to be involved in both inflammatory and metabolic processes. Here, we demonstrate that chemerin serum levels are elevated in patients with multiple myeloma and that it increases with disease progression. We found that chemerin is expressed by stromal cells and preadipocytes, whereas its receptor CCRL2 is expressed by primary myeloma cells, suggesti

Vår forskning är inriktad på epilepsi och att förstå de patologiska förändringarna som sker i hjärnan före och efter epileptiska anfall. Cirka 0.7 % av befolkningen har epilepsi och för mer än 30 % av dem finns idag ingen medicin som hjälper. Vi är speciellt intresserade av det immunologiska svaret i hjärnan och hur det kan moduleras vid epilepsi. Nyligen var vi de första i världen att beskriva Our research is focused on epilepsy and the pathophysiological changes that may occur in the brain before and after epileptic seizures. About 0,7 % of the community has epilepsy and more than 30 % are resistant to any known medical therapy. We have a particular interest in the immune reaction in the brain and how it can be modulated in epilepsy. Recently, we were the first to describe an immune r

The European project has come a long way in establishing peace, creating a common market, and expanding its borders. At the same time, diminishing popular legitimacy has spurred talk about a European Union in crisis. How far has the EU really come in fulfilling its grand visions? Is the project barely half-way? Or could we say with some confidence that European integration is solidified and will c

This paper focuses on the discussion of the general characteristics of 12 Swedish learners’ oral production of the Chinese aspect markers le, guò, zài, and zhe. Their oral performance is discussed with respect to Krashen’s Monitor hypothesis (1978, 1981, 1987) on the role of conscious learning. The functions of the Monitor in planning, editing and correcting is discussed respectively in relation t

Discussion about Director/Actor/Film Historian Peter Bogdanovich with regard to his book Who the hell is it? (In Swedish)

This paper is a reply to a recent paper on the isomers of trisulfur oxides (Chem. Commun., 2005, 3712) where the accuracy of the CASPT2 method is called in question. We illustrate that their results are due to an inadequate choice of active orbitals. Some results for related O and S containing molecules are also presented to strengthen the argumentation. It is concluded that the CASPT2 method is a

In 1977 van Fraassen showed convincingly, and in detail, how one can give a dissentive answer to the question “[a]re there necessities in nature?”. In this paper, I follow his lead and show in a similar fashion and detail, how it is 5 possible to give a dissentive answer to: Are there probabilities in nature? This is achieved by giving a partial analysis – with the aid of Kaplanian pragmatics – of

We find that the nature and origin of the proposed "dialogical cognitive representations" in the target article is not sufficiently clear. Our proposal is that (triadic) bodily mimesis and in particular mimetic schemas-prelinguistic representational, intersubjective structures, emerging through imitation but subsequently interiorized-can provide the necessary link between private sensory-motor exp

Expectations of what constitutes a positive customer experience have changed over time. Developments in technology and digital services have enabled new kinds of customer experience. As have new store formats and diversified retail offerings. Regardless of the form it has taken, customer experience has always been of paramount importance to retail managers. And it continues to be so. Over 50% of p

Baumol’s cost disease is a wellknown theorem, but its consequences are rarely addressed in economic-political discourse. This paper highlights the implications of Baumol’s cost disease and shows that in real terms the once so celebrated “Swedish Model” has lost its exclusive position relative to other European countries. Even worse, since 1995 Swedish welfare services has in general lost in conten
