Spaceflight results in reduced bone accrual and muscle atrophy in growing rodents. Some studies suggest that the detrimental effects of spaceflight are due, in part, to impaired growth hormone (GH) signaling. An experiment flown aboard STS-41 (October 6–10, 1990) evaluated the efficacy of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in ameliorating the detrimental effects of spaceflight on the musculos
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments worldwide face the challenge of designing tailored measures of epidemic control to provide reliable health protection while allowing societal and economic activity. In this paper, we propose an extension of the epidemiological SEIR model to enable a detailed analysis of commonly discussed tailored measures of epidemic control—among them group-sp
Risk and Vulnerability Assessments (RVAs) are often conducted by public sector organizations to prevent or prepare for hazards and threats. In Sweden, practitioners increasingly adopt approaches that are based on Business Continuity Management (BCM), where Business Impact Assessments (BIA) are used to gain organizational understanding, in favor of more traditional risk assessments. Both processes
The evaluation of electric bike (e-bike) riders’ perception of comfort can lead to a better understanding of user requirements. This can be performed through Level-of-service (LOS) studies. To date, the e-bike LOS (ELOS) concept is scarcely developed and research concerning e-bike travel behaviour characteristics is relatively sparse. In this paper, we use bike LOS (BLOS) studies as a foundation t
The genus Eois Hübner (Geometridae: Larentiinae) comprises 254 valid species. Being a hyperdiverse genus, Eois potentially includes many undescribed cryptic species and embodies a problematic taxonomic scenario. The actual diversity of Eois is greatly underestimated and the Neotropical fauna needs to be well known since it figures as one of the most threatened terrestrial ecosystem. In the present
I Sverige finns det ingen lagstadgad skyldighet att bistå nödställda personer. Undantag finns i vissa situationer när det framgår av lag eller allmänna principer. Att se på när en okänd människa drunknar utan att hjälpa till, trots att personens liv enkelt kan räddas är idag straffritt. Syftet med denna uppsats är att med hjälp av en rättsdogmatisk metod utreda om en civilkuragelag bör införas i SIn Sweden there is no statutory duty to rescue distressed persons. Exceptions can be made when this is required by a special law or by legal principles, but watching an unknown person drown when his life easily can be saved is not illegal. The purpose of this essay is to, by using a traditional judicial method, examine whether this behaviour should be criminalized or not. If the duty to rescue di
Provokation som grund för strafflindring regleras i 29 kap. 3 § första stycket 1 BrB och då domstolen anser att någon objektivt sett har blivit utsatt för ett uppenbart kränkande beteende kan detta få verkan i förmildrande riktning i påföljdsbestämningen. Domstolar har ett relativt stort utrymme att fastställa vad som kan utgöra provokation på grund av att det finns få uttalanden i förarbeten och Provocation as a basis for mitigation of a sentence is regulated in Chapter 29. 3 § first paragraph 1 of the Penal Code and this can have effect in mitigating direction when the court considers that someone has been a victim of a clearly degrading behavior from an objective point of view. Courts have a relatively broad discretion to determine what may constitute provocation because there are only
This study investigates the relationship between social investments and public transport. The purpose is to determine the state of knowledge with regards to social investments and public transport, and if possible determine the factors necessary for this to succeed. To outline the concept of social investments within the framework of transport economics, a thorough review of the relevant theory, a
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is known for its high frequencies of polymorphisms and mutations as it is prone to oxidative stress. The aim of the present study is to assess the novel mutations in mitochondrial genes from blood samples among the breast cancer patients from a less studied Northeast Indian population. D, B, L haplogroups were observed in the cancer samples and a total of 44 mtDNA D-loop
In an effort to combat illegal cartel activities taking place in the European Union, in 1996 the European Commission decided to implement a leniency program for self-reporting firms who, in return for information about their cartel, could receive a substantial reduction, or a total exemption from any fines that would have otherwise been imposed on them. The wellbeing and survival of cartels is dep
Denna rapport är en brandteknisk riskvärdering av “Cube” i Lund, Sverige. Scenarioanalysen visade att tre utav de tio scenarier som undersöktes uppskattades vara av högre risk för personsäkerheten än övriga. Det var A - brand i receptionen på entréplan, B - brand på kontoret beläget på plan tre samt C - brand i restaurangen på entréplan. Scenarierna valdes därför ut för vidare analys och simuleriThis report is an evaluation of the fire safety of “Cube” in Lund, Sweden. The analysis of the different scenarios showed that three out of the ten scenarios chosen were deemed to be of a higher risk for human life than the remaining seven. The three scenarios were A - fire in the reception located on the ground floor, B - fire in the office space located of the third floor and C - fire in the re
The Brazilian economy is now financialized, where the finance sector and its priorities have become increasingly dominant in all aspects of the economy. At the same time, the country has been facing extremely high levels of inequality and is currently the 8th most unequal country in the world. This thesis aims to analyze the associations between the process of financialization and inequality trend
This Master Thesis is made in collaboration with ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems and addresses the issues and problem areas of two dock leveler models; 60 kN and 100 kN to find a new improved design. After the following product development process, a new concept was created which could withstand applied forces exceedingly. The main purpose and goal of the project was to find a dock leveler design whi
The environmental effects, not least on biodiversity, of land use and land use change provide major challenges when sustainability goals are to be met along with demand for production and other ecosystem services. Here I systematically review literature on one major land use change, from agriculture to forest, and the implications for biodiversity. The aim is to provide information for land use de
In 2008, the National Library of Sweden decided to transition from the Swedish system of classification, SAB, to the internationally established system Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). The aim of this master’s thesis is to study the process of transition and the effect of this transition on the library collections and users of three Swedish libraries: two university libraries and one public lib
The research explores the protections provided for migrant domestic workers who are highly undervalued and often exposed to trafficking, despite comprising an integral part of the labour force worldwide. Saudi Arabia is a focus destination country for the study, as it emerged from among the top destination countries absorbing 61 percent of recorded Ethiopian migrant domestic workers. Despite such
