Detta är en studie i det internationella tänkandets subjekt. Människor och stater, om än ofta betraktade som varandras motsatser, delar en sak: de är det internationella tänkandets huvudsakliga subjekt. Avhandlingens argumentet är att orsaken till detta står att finna i det språk genom vilket subjektskap artikuleras, personbegreppets språk, som stipulerar vissa kriterier – i första hand rationalit
About 40 years ago, a subpopulation of small neurons in the cerebellar nuclei was shown to project to the inferior olive, the source of the climbing fiber input to the cerebellum. This nucleo-olivary projection follows the zonal and probably also microzonal arrangement of the cerebellum so that closed loops are formed between the neurons in the olive, the cerebellar cortex, and the nuclei. Althoug
This study examines jaw and lip aperture characteristics of syllables. High correlations were found between velocity and displacement of opening/closing of lips and jaw, similar to previous studies. However, lip aperture opening velocity changed as a function of manner and voicing of syllable onset while jaw opening velocity, except for a plosive onset, did not change. In addition, differences wer
The gut immune system protects against mucosal pathogens, maintains a mutualistic relationship with the microbiota, and establishes tolerance against food antigens. This requires a balance between immune effector responses and induction of tolerance. Disturbances of this strictly regulated balance can lead to infections or the development inflammatory diseases and allergies. Production of secretor
Shell galaxies make a class of tidally distorted galaxies, characterized by wide concentric arc(s), extending out to large galactocentric distances with sharp outer edges. Recent observations of young massive star clusters in the prominent outer shell of NGC 474 suggest that such systems host extreme conditions of star formation. In this paper, we present a hydrodynamic simulation of a galaxy merg
Process-based confidential computing enclaves such as Intel SGX can be used to protect the confidentiality and integrity of workloads, without the overhead of virtualisation. However, they introduce a notable performance overhead, especially when it comes to transitions in and out of the enclave context. Such overhead makes the use of enclaves impractical for running IO-intensive applications, suc
To increase the reliability and comparability of vocal loading studies, this paper proposes the use of a standardized approach with experiments that are [1] grounded on consistent definitions of terms related to vocal fatigue (vocal effort, vocal demand, and vocal demand response), and [2] designed to reduce uncertainty and increase repeatability. In the approach, a semi-automated vocal loading ta
Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are epitheliotropic DNA tumor viruses that are prevalent in the human population. A subset of the HPVs termed high-risk HPVs (HR-HPVs) are causative agents of anogenital cancers and head-and-neck cancers. Cancer is the result of persistent high-risk HPV infections that have not been cleared by the immune system of the host. These infections are characterized by dysregu
Neural mechanisms behind stereopsis, which requires simultaneous disparity inputs from two eyes, have remained mysterious. Here we show how ultrafast mirror-symmetric photomechanical contractions in the frontal forward-facing left and right eye photoreceptors give Drosophila superresolution three-dimensional (3D) vision. By interlinking multiscale in vivo assays with multiscale simulations, we rev
PURPOSE: To assess the performance of the post-cardiac arrest (CA) prognostication strategy algorithm recommended by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) in 2020. METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of the Korean Hypothermia Network Prospective Registry 1.0. Unconscious patients without confounders at day 4 (72-96 h) after retu
This paper argues that Sámi reindeer pastoralism in Sweden is highly stressed during the critical snow cover periods due to large-scale human interventions, especially forestry, and that these have over time significantly worsened the ecological conditions for natural grazing-based responses to changing snow conditions caused by climate change. Informed by a literature review, the paper conceptual
This paper presents in some detail findings and experiences gained from a new course entitled “Innovation Engineering” (IE). This course is offered in the Technology Management Programme (TM) at Lund University, Lund, Sweden. The incentive for developing the new course was the need for a more integrated and practical approach where technical, customer and application problems from reality confront
Studies within second language learning indicate that higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) are important for the process of learning a new language. At the same time, previous literature indicates that assessment tasks in online courses often focus on lower-order thinking skills. Little is still known about if and how thinking skills are assessed in online EFL courses. Hence, the purpose of this st
Popular Abstract in Swedish Salmonella infektion drabbar ca 16 miljoner människor i världen per år. Salmonella sprids genom mat och vatten och fšrekommer främst i länder där god hygien är ett problem. Beroende på vilken typ av Salmonella som man infekteras av, kan man drabbas av magsjuka eller en allvarlig systemisk infektion som i värsta fall kan leda till döden (tyfoid feber). Salmonella tar sigThe immune system has several strategies to combat infections. The present study investigates various aspects of the interaction between Gram negative bacteria, particularly Salmonella, and antigen presenting cells (APC). Salmonella is an intracellular bacterium infecting mice and man. Salmonella typhimurium infection in mice is a frequently used model for studying systemic Salmonella infection. O
Popular Abstract in Swedish Retrovirus är en typ av virus som finns hos både människor och djur. Detta virus sprider sig genom att en virus partikel tar sig in i en cell och sedan integrerar sin virala arvsmassa in i cellens arvmassa, DNA. Retrovirusets arvsmassa är från början RNA men skrivs sedan om till DNA för att kunna integreras. I molekylärbiologins barndom trodde man att det genetiska flödThe human genome contains genetic elements which are more or less similar to infectious retroviruses. These are called human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) and are thought to be remnants of infections in the primate lineage. Most of them have been inserted 10 to 60 million years ago but have at different time points spread in the genome via intracellular retrotransposition and make up as much as
In the microscale structure of a porous electrode, the transport processes are among the least understood areas of SOFC. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) for a porous microscopic media and investigate mass transfer processes with electrochemical reactions by LBM at a mesoscopic and microscopic level. Part of the anode structure of an SOFC for two componen
