The neutron-unbound isotope Be13 has been studied in several experiments using different reactions, different projectile energies, and different experimental setups. There is, however, no real consensus in the interpretation of the data, in particular concerning the structure of the low-lying excited states. Gathering new experimental information, which may reveal the Be13 structure, is a challeng

Previous studies in developing Xenopus and zebrafish reported that the phosphate transporter slc20a1a is expressed in pronephric kidneys. The recent identification of SLC20A1 as a monoallelic candidate gene for cloacal exstrophy further suggests its involvement in the urinary tract and urorectal development. However, little is known of the functional role of SLC20A1 in urinary tract development. H

This explorative study examines approximately one hundred electronic library homepages. It focuses on four aspects: form, content, structure and user support. Form relates to the presentation of information and is concerned with the relationship between text and graphics. Content refers to the type of information and services that an electronic library offers. Structure is concerned with the gu

In 2008 the Commission for the Legal Empowerment of the Poor, CLEP, put forward a grand policy proposition claiming that comprehensive legal, political, social and economic reforms whereby the poor are legally empowered can put an end to perpetuating poverty in developing countries. A well functioning rule of law is considered the foundation on which all institutional structures promoting economic

Objective: We examined the incidence and natural history of macular retinochoroidal neovascularization (RCN) in enhanced S-cone syndrome (ESCS). Design: Retrospective case series. Methods: This single-center study included 14 of 93 patients with ESCS who had signs of active or inactive RCN in ≥1 eye. We conducted multimodal retinal imaging, full-field electroretinography, and molecular genetic ana

The secondary injury cascades exacerbating the initial brain injury following intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) are incompletely understood. We used dual microdialysis (MD) catheters placed in the perihaemorrhagic zone (PHZ) and in seemingly normal cortex (SNX) at time of surgical ICH evacuation in ten patients (range 26-70 years). Routine interstitial MD markers (including glucose and the lactate/p

This paper examines how a Scandinavian country organises elderly care as a welfare service on a quasi-market. More specifically, it deals with how public officers work with meeting citizens’ need and demand, while at the same time struggle with political decrees, changes in the political climate, as well as the whims of the market. Swedish elderly care is used as an example of how a welfare servic

In this paper, we introduce the concept of spatially coupled turbo-like codes (SC-TCs) as the spatial coupling of a number of turbo-like code ensembles. In particular, we consider the spatial coupling of parallel concatenated codes, introduced by Berrou et al., and that of serially concatenated codes (SCCs), introduced by Benedetto et al. Furthermore, we propose two extensions of braided convoluti

Quantitative proteomics is concerned with measuring the abundances of different proteins in biological samples. In the shotgun approach, proteins are digested by an endoprotease into several smaller peptides, which are then separated by liquid chromatography (LC) and subsequently detected and quantified by a mass spectrometer. In this work, a method for determining the relative abundances of prote

International mobility programs have long served as tools to achieve economic and diplomatic objectives. In alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there is an increasing emphasis on scholarship programs and education as means to build capacity and reduce poverty. The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) reflects this shift through several bilateral resea

This thesis examines how ideas of truth and knowledge are created, maintained, and negotiated within the context of a community through means of communication. This is achieved by conducting a case study which highlights the social processes of deconstructing and reconstructing ideas of truth. The empirical material analyzed is the podcast Another Name For Every Thing, featuring Franciscan friar F

Idag skiljer rättsväsendet inte på mäns våld mot kvinnor och hedersrelaterat våld. Det finns inget konkret stöd i gällande rätt för att beakta fenomenet heder, utan det går in under allmänna paragrafer och bestämmelserna om grov fridskränkning och grov kvinnofridskränkning i 4 kap. 4 a § BrB. Syftet med förevarande uppsats har främst varit att ur ett de lege lata-perspektiv utreda om det hedersrelToday, the judiciary does not distinguish honor related violence from men’s violence against women. There is no concrete support in existing law to consider the phenomenon of honor. Instead it is covered by general enactments and the provisions of violation of integrity and of violation of a woman’s integrity in The Swedish Penal Code chapter 4 paragraph 4 a. The main purpose with the present essa

Denna uppsats undersöker budplikten på den svenska aktiemarknaden ur ett rättsekonomiskt perspektiv. Syftet är dels att undersöka om de svenska budpliktsreglerna tillämpas syftesenligt, dels om budplikten är lämplig på den svenska aktiemarknaden ur ett ekonomiskt perspektiv, vilket kompletteras med en argumentation de lege ferenda. Rättsekonomisk litteratur om offentliga uppköpserbjudanden presen

This thesis is an interdisciplinary study on the role of National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) in the implementation of the primary responsibility of States to prevent mass atrocities (MA) under pillar one of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P). It focuses on current international law (IL) to delimit the scope of the prevention obligations of States and assesses the relevant preventive measur
