The identification of the regions where vector-borne diseases are transmitted is essential to study transmission patterns and to recognize future changes in environmental conditions that may potentially influence the transmission areas. SGS1, one of the lineages of Plasmodium relictum, is known to have active transmission in tropical Africa and temperate regions of Europe. Nuclear sequence data fr
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that is negative for anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) is a subentity of RA, characterized by less severe disease. At the individual level, however, considerable differences in the severity of joint destruction occur. We performed a study on genetic factors underlying the differences in joint destruction in ACPA-negative patients.

I artikel 1F flyktingkonventionen stadgas ett antal av de så kallade uteslutandeklausulerna från flyktingstatus, vilka utgör undantag från möjligheten att åtnjuta internationellt skydd för personer som uppfyller rekvisiten i flyktingdefinitionen. Artikeln utesluter asylsökande som misstänks för vissa grova brott, såsom krigsförbrytelser och brott mot mänskligheten, om det finns synnerligen anledniArticle 1F in the Refugee Convention constitutes one of the so called exclusions clauses from the possibility to be recognized as a refugee and hence obtain international protection. The Article excludes asylum seekers who are suspected for serious crimes, such as war crimes and crimes against humanity, if there are serious reasons for considering that the person has committed the alleged crime.

Boreal forests store the majority of their carbon in the soil and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. However, the mechanisms that control carbon storage in boreal soils are not well understood. In recent studies, there has been a specific focus on how ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi influence carbon dynamics in boreal forests, particularly through their nitrogen acquisition. A major pa

The relationship between inequality and conflict has been widely studied in the literature, finding non-significant results. However, the availability of new statistical software and geographical databases has boosted new literature on the topic, focusing on the regional level. Mozambique is now suffering a wave of conflicts whose causes seem varied. Using a negative-inflated binomial regression a
Icke-erkända stater utgör ett främmande element i det internationella systemet. Tidigare forskning har dock visat att icke-erkända stater ofta har en beskyddarstat (patron state), som stödjer staten militärt såväl som finansiellt. Denna uppsats undersöker varför beskyddarstaten Turkiet erkänt Nordcypern, medan beskyddarstaten Armenien inte erkänt Nagorno Karabach. Fallen påminner bortsett från d
Securing access to land around the world is an issue that pervades many development agendas. Often promoted through legal and administrative systems, secure land tenure is used in the battle against poverty and to reduce land based conflict. Conceptualizations of secure tenure tend to differ between international institutions and academia. This thesis aims to understand how the World Bank concept
Neofobi, rädslan för det nya har genom historien alltid varit förekommande hos människor, sett evolutionärt så finns det troligen fördelar med detta. Med detta sagt så är det många saker i det mänskliga samhället som i stora drag varit snarlika genom tiderna varvid frågan om GMO, vilken totalt (kan) omkullkastat hur människor traditionellt tillskansat sig föda. Trots högljudda rop från alla kanter

This is achieved through looking at the emphasis on storytell
The literature within Information Systems has approached Green IS from different perspectives and using different theoretical frameworks. The present paper analyzes the corre-lation between the existence of external pressures and Green IS adoption in the case of Swe-dish municipalities. A qualitative research was conducted, with the performance of in-depth interviews with representatives of a 4 Sw
This article describes the synthesis and characterization of novel cationic five-coordinate Pt(II) complexes containing nitrogen sugar-based ligands. The cytotoxicity of the complexes was evaluated on different cell lines with the expectation that both the coordinative saturation and the sugar moiety cooperate to enhance their biological activity. In fact, the complexes resulted to be more active
