One of the major arguments made in the current boom in Haitian revolutionary studies connects today’s conditions of possibility for modern democracy and human rights to the abolition of slavery during the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804). During the last decade, however, this connection between the Haitian Revolutionary period and our own age has been questioned by an increasing number of scholars: One of the major arguments made in the current boom in Haitian revolutionary studies connects today’s conditions of possibility for modern democracy and human rights to the abolition of slavery during the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804).

AIMS: Unexplained syncope is an important clinical challenge. The influence of age at first syncope on the final syncope diagnosis is not well studied.METHODS AND RESULTS: Consecutive head-up tilt patients (n = 1928) evaluated for unexplained syncope were stratified into age groups <30, 30-59, and ≥60 years based on age at first syncope. Clinical characteristics and final syncope diagnosis were an

Two different sum rules for transmission of the coherent electromagnetic fieldby a particulate slab are established. The particles are assumed sphericaland randomly located, and the slab is illuminated by a plane wave at normalincidence. These sum rules are obtained assuming the particles are passivescatterers, and satisfy energy conservation and causality conditions. The sumrules are then employe

This chapter takes an interest in the world of platforms for creative and cultural work. Platforms for creative and cultural work started to become popular in the late 20th century, and their popularity has grown rapidly over the years. Taking its point of departure from these platforms, this chapter aims to shed light upon and discuss the work of the professionals who handle and manage these platThis chapter takes an interest in the world of platforms for creative and cultural work.

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue protein 1 (MALT1) plays a key role in adaptive immune responses by modulating specific intracellular signalling pathways that control the development and proliferation of both T and B cells. Dysfunction of these pathways is coupled to the progress of highly aggressive lymphoma as well as to potential development of an array of different immune disorders.

This book considers how the concept of violence has been interpreted, used, defined, and explored by social researchers and thinkers. It does not provide a final answer to the question of what violence is or how it should be explained (or prevented), and instead offers a variety of useful ways of thinking about and theorising the phenomenon, mainly from a sociological standpoint.

The main goal of this thesis has been to investigate the interaction of the intrinsically disordered peptide Histatin 5 (Hst5), with phospholipid bilayers, using a mixture of experimental and computational techniques, such as, small- angle X-ray scattering, circular dichroism, neutron reflectometry, quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, The main goal of this thesis has been to investigate the interaction of the intrinsically disordered peptide Histatin 5 (Hst5), with phospholipid bilayers, using a mixture of experimental and computational techniques, such as, small- angle X-ray scattering, circular dichroism, neutron reflectometry, quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, atomistic molecular dynamics simulations,

This study aims to illuminate the power relations that are developed between student and nonstudent representatives while performing governance at the context of Lund University. Furthermore, the influence of these incidents on student’s contribution is investigated, highlighting the strengths and the weaknesses of this representation structure. For this purpose, the study utilizes semi-structured

This paper examines long-term interest rates and fiscal liabilities within EMU in the context of the recent sovereign debt crisis; where Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain faced rising interest rates in contrast to the rest of the EMU. An assessment of the short and long-run properties of long rates, fiscal deficits and government debt are estimated for 11 EMU countries in the time span 19

The purpose of the study was to achieve an increased understanding of young adults’ views regarding relationships in the family, self-esteem and psychological state. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight people who were in emerging adulthood and considered their relational experience as crucial for personal development. Six themes were identified in an interpretive phenomenological

Abstract: This thesis is an attempt to evaluate the pre-Christian and Christian and cult-place continuity question. This is done by investigating intervisibility between Christian Churches and pre-Christian grave monuments within the province of Halland, Sweden. This analysis was done via large statistical GIS databases of which viewshed analysis was applied to, which in turn was then interpreted

Mer än hälften av svenska barn mellan nio och arton år uppger att de spelar dataspel dagligen. Med tanke på den ökade förekomsten av problematiskt datorspelande och digital överanvändning bland ungdomar, betonas familjebaserade behandlingsmetoder allt mer. Syftet med denna kvalitativa förstudie är att undersöka föräldrars upplevelser av konflikter i hemmet gällande barns skärmanvändning och deras More than half of Swedish children between the ages of nine and eighteen state that they play computer games daily. Given the increased prevalence of problematic computer gaming and digital overuse among young people, family-based treatment methods are increasingly emphasized. The purpose of this qualitative pre-study is to investigate parents' experiences of conflicts in the home regarding ch

Today plastic packaging is used in a wide array of industries including the pharmaceutical industry. Nevertheless, the increasing amount of plastic waste from packaging is generating great amount of contaminants that do not only damage the environment, but as well the society and the economy as a whole. Whilst industries of fast consumer goods, such as the food and fashion industry enjoy vast rese

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur fastanställda på den svenska arbetsmarknaden upplever att de påverkas av ett chefsbyte. Undersökningen analyserar betydelsen det kan ha för den anställda samt vilka faktorer som kan påverka och orsaka ett negativt eller positivt upplevt chefsbyte. Detta skulle kunna vara något de flesta företag skulle ha användning av vid ett chefsbyte, vilket gör ämneThe aim of this study was to investigate how permanent employees on the Swedish labor market perceive they are affected by a change of manager. The study analyzes the significance it can have for the employee, as well as which factors can influence and cause a negatively or positively experienced change. This information could benefit most companies when changing managers, which makes the topic in

The Janzen–Connell hypothesis states that seedling survival increases with distance from the parent tree, which promotes regular spacing of species within a forest and thus biodiversity. Very few studies have tested this hypothesis in tropical Africa. This paper evaluates the occurrence of Janzen-Connell effects for seedlings and adult trees of the species Cola cordifolia in a dry tropical forest

This thesis aimed to explore the binding pocket of galectin-8N and galectin-3C. Both structure-based drug design and fragment-based drug discovery were utilized in this project, exemplifying the benefits of the different approaches. Structural determination of the proteins in complex with both high affinity ligands, and small fragments was achieved through x-ray crystallography. The structures of
