The accuracy of NOAA AVHRR NDVI maximum value composites can be poor due to interference from several sources, including cloud cover. The objectives of this paper are; 1. to accurately quantify noise in this imagery over Africa using geostatistics, and 2. to test four compositing techniques that may be able to reduce this noise. The nugget of the variogram model is used to compute standardized noi
In this issue of Journal of Endocrinology, Dr Han and colleagues report a protective effect of the glutamate dehydrogenase-activator BCH under diabetes-like conditions that impair β-cell function in both a pancreatic β-cell line and in db/db mice. Based on these observations, the authors suggest that BCH could serve as novel treatment modality in Type 2 Diabetes. The present commentary discusses t
We present comprehensive results on continuous atmospheric cluster and particle measurements in the size range similar to 1-42 nm within the European Integrated project on Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality interactions (EUCAARI) project. We focused on characterizing the spatial and temporal variation of new particle formation events and relevant particle formation parameters across Europe. Dif
This chapter examines the relevance of ideas developed by Petrazycki and Ehrlich to the current concerns of the sociology of law. It starts by briefly describing the academic and political contexts in which these ideas were born. Then it goes on to present some aspects of the theories of Petrazycki and Ehrlich and to examine their imprints on empirical research. The final part of the chapter bring
When an agitator is in commission for an extended period of time the impellers can become clogged. In order to clean the impeller, the agitator is runned backwards. This is one of the main functions for a product that CG Drives & Automation is developing for a customer in the agitator business. The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to develop and test this product for CG Drives & Automati
The construction industry generates a significant amount of waste and serious environmental impacts. Denmark has an ambitious climate goal to stay within the 1.5-2.0-degree target and transition to a circular economy. However, transitioning away from the well-accepted linear take-make-waste model triggers uncertainty and risk among stakeholders across the value chain within the supply chain for bu
Background: Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common cause of sexually transmitted infections globally and the leading cause of preventable blindness in the developing world. There are two biovariants of C trachomatis: 'trachoma', causing ocular and genital tract infections, and the invasive 'lymphogranuloma venereum' strains. Recently, a new variant of the genital tract C trachomatis emerged in S
This essay reviews work in sociology and cognate fields regarding pharmaceutical marketing and its regulation. In particular, it considers how this literature contributes to a better understanding of the process of pharmaceuticalization, defined as “the translation or transformation of human conditions, capabilities, and capacities into opportunities for pharmaceutical intervention.” The review ad
According to the Swedish Care of Young Persons Act (LVU), rulings regarding compulsory care should be independent of aspects of gender, ethnicity, or social background. This paper aims to examine on what grounds youths are taken into compulsory care according to the prerequisite “other socially destructive behavior” stated in 3 § LVU. Meanwhile, how administrative courts apply the concept of the c
Lagstiftningen för konkursgäldenären har genom historien förändrats på ett förhållandevis omfattande sätt. I den romerska rätten var personalexekution huvudregel men i vissa fall kunde gäldenären få lättnader. Genom historien har utvecklingen gått mot en mildare behandling av konkursgäldenären. Idag är ¬– för den juridiska personen – istället undantaget huvudregel, att lättnad sker, och att straffThe law of bankruptcy debtors has historically changed in a relatively comprehensive manner. In Roman law enslavement and similar treatment was the common consequence. In some cases the debtor could obtain relief, but this was an exception. Throughout history, the trend has gone towards a more lenient treatment of the bankrupt debtor. Today, for the legal entity, the exception is no longer an exce
För att dömas till straffansvar enligt svensk rätt krävs att gärningspersonen uppvisar skuld antingen i form av uppsåt eller oaktsamhet. Straffrättsligt ansvar för våldtäkt förutsätter enligt svensk rätt att gärningspersonen begår gärningen med uppsåt. I våldtäktsbrottmål kan en gärningsperson som misstar sig om en relevant omständighet och alltså begår gärningen utan uppsåt inte dömas till straffTo be held liable for a crime under Swedish law, the offender has to show guilt, either intentionally or through negligence. According to Swedish law, criminal liability for rape presupposes that the perpetrator has committed the act intentionally. In rape crime cases, an offender cannot be convicted if he or she is mistaken about a relevant circumstance and hence commits the act through negligenc
