We all know that conflict creates displacement. Life becomes untenable in different ways, and people are forced to move; the majority ending up as internally displaced people within the nation-state, while others wind up in refugee camps in neighboring countries, and a very few seek asylum in faraway places. The recent war in Ukraine and the conflict in Syria since 2011 seemingly fit into this cla

Many filamentous organisms, such as fungi, grow by tip-extension and by forming new branches behind the tips. A similar growth mode occurs in filamentous bacteria, including the genus Streptomyces, although here our mechanistic understanding has been very limited. The Streptomyces protein DivIVA is a critical determinant of hyphal growth and localizes in foci at hyphal tips and sites of future bra

What do we know about youth climate activism in India? Given the country’s rich history of environmental activism and the recent increase in youth climate groups, the literature on youth climate activism in India is surprisingly scant. The present review systematically identified eight studies focusing specifically on young people’s climate activism in India post-2019. An in-depth comparative read

The tightened security restrictions after the “911” terrorist attacks must clearly have repercussions for privacy, almost regardless of how this term is conceptualised. The notably fluid essentials of the privacy-term makes it hard to evaluate the actual impact of new regulation as a shared point of reference is in fact lacking (its definition has been a popular topic for vicious debate and acute

Differences in national legislations can affect the international competitiveness of an industry. For example, stringent EU regulations on animal welfare and environmental protection are often said to be a cost disadvantage for EU producers competing on the global market. However, in recent years, powerful retailers and food processors have started to impose requirements on downstream producers th

Uppsatsen utreder huruvida det är förenligt med grundläggande straffrätts-liga principer att beakta gruppens agerande som en förmildrande omständig-het vid fastställandet av straffvärdet. För att undersöka detta granskas de straffrättsliga principerna, begreppet rättssäkerhet och den del av det straffrättsliga påföljdssystemet som rör förmildrande och försvårande omständigheter. Därefter har gäl

Den 1 juli 2021 trädde barnfridsbrottet i kraft och placerades i 4 kap. 3 § brottsbalken (1962:700). Den infördes för att stärka barns straffrättsliga rättigheter. I paragrafen ställs en uttömmande lista upp på grundbrott som måste blivit styrkta för att barnfridsbrottet ska bli aktuellt. Vidare krävs att gärningsmannen och offret, för grundbrottet, är närstående till barnet. Avslutningsvis i paraThe new bill “violation of a child’s integrity” went into force on the 1st of July, 2021 to ensure that more rights for children in criminal law were implemented. The bill was placed in chapter 4 section 3 in the Swedish Criminal Code (1962:700). In the section there is a line up of an exhaustive list of foundation crimes. In order for the violation of a child’s integrity to be able to come into e

A light-induced photoluminescence (PL) enhancement in surface-deposited methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) perovskites was investigated in detail using time-resolved luminescence microscopy. We found the PL intensity to increase up to three orders of magnitude upon light illumination with an excitation power density of 0.01-1 W cm(-2). The PL enhancement is accompanied by an increase of the P

BACKGROUND: The dystrophin gene, which is mutated in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), encodes a large cytoskeletal protein present in muscle fibers. While dystrophin in skeletal muscle has been extensively studied, the function of dystrophin in vascular smooth muscle is less clear. Here, we have analyzed the role of dystrophin in injury-induced arterial neointima formation. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL

The EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy was created to stabilize the EU’s Neighbourhood, fuel the EU’s geopolitical crisis management ambitions, and strengthen European values abroad. In the recent debate, however, it was criticized as ineffective or destabilizing. While specific regions and mission types were previously researched, a comprehensive analysis of all EU crisis management operatio

Authors as laborers and capitalists. Political self publishing in 1970s Sweden.From the late 1960s and onwards, many Swedish authors started questioning the publishing industry. The relationship between author and publisher was increasingly interpreted as a relationship between wage-laborer and capitalist. As a consequence, initatives to help authors publish without a traditional publisher were la
