Harvey's capital switching thesis is one of the most influential contributions of Marxist geographers, providing a framework for understanding structural determinants of capital flows into urban land and built environments. Harvey's thesis has drawn criticism in subsequent debates for its lack of direct empirical support. Even decades later, several gaps remain. The most comprehensive intervention

Popular Abstract in Swedish Anpassningen av geofysiska metoder till infrastrukturtillämpningar är en viktig del i utvecklingen av geoteknisk förundersökningsmetodik. Det som här benämns geotekniska förundersökningar hänvisar till alla undersökningar som görs före eller under konstruktion, alltså sådana som syftar till att stödja och förbättra en konceptuell geologisk modell så väl som sådana som s

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

Understanding variation in survival and reproduction is key for conservation and management of bird populations. By compiling and analysing data on hatching success (i.e. proportion of nests with at least one hatched egg) from Common Eider Somateria m. mollissima, Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca and Red-breasted Merganser Mergus serrator, all breeding on a single island in the Baltic Sea, we demonst

Popular Abstract in English As far as we know the Northern Fulmar (just referred to as Fulmar from her on), did not start breeding on the Faroe Islands before about 150 years ago. But it has been known by the Faroese for a long time. Mainly as a bad omen and according to folklore fishermen would return home if they encountered Fulmars when out at sea, since they believed it was the bringer of storThe Northern Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) is one of the most abundant seabirds in the Northern Hemisphere and the most abundant seabird on the Faroe Islands. Except from a few sporadic observations up until the 1950´s no study has focused on this species on the Faroe Islands. Being considered a significant consumer of marine resources in the Faroese marine ecosystem a closer study of this species´

cGMP interactors play a role in several pathologies and may be targets for cGMP analog-based drugs, but the success of targeting depends on the biochemical stereospecificity between the cGMP-analog and the interactor. The stereospecificity between general cGMP analogs—or such that are selectivity-modified to obtain, for example, inhibitory actions on a specific target, like the cGMP-dependent prot
