Shrines and Souls provides a multi-layered contextualization of the article on religious liberty in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 18), which was propounded by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948. It shows how the framers of the Declaration decided to break with some of the conventional ways of framing religious liberty in international law, by foregroundin

Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteiner är nödvändiga beståndsdelar i en levande cell. Dels bygger de upp viktiga strukturer och dels katalyserar de kemiska reaktioner. Proteiner kodas av gener. Varje protein motsvaras av en gen. Vägen från gen till protein är densamma i alla organismer på jorden. Först transkriberas en gen till en molekyl kallad mRNA (budbärar-RNA, eng. messenger RNA). Detta mRNA aDegradation of mRNA is a controlled process which is as important for gene regulation as the synthesis of mRNA. This thesis focuses on mechanisms of mRNA stability and degradation in Bacillus subtilis, the model of Gram-positive bacteria. The aprE mRNA, encoding an exported protease named subtilisin, is extremely stable with a half-life of more than 25 minutes. Average mRNA half-lives in B. subtil

Human activity is constantly causing environmental problems due to production and release of numerous chemicals. A group of compounds of special concern is persistent organic pollutants (POP). These toxic, lipophilic chemicals have a high chemical and biological stability, and tend to accumulate in the lipid phase of living organisms. A major sink for POPs are sediments, and consequently these are

To meet urgent needs for solving serious worldwide drug-resistance problems, a sensitive label-free capacitive sensor developed in our group was investigated as a tool to be applied in the field of antibiotic resistance genotyping, for instance the detection of ampicillin resistance gene (ampR). Proof-of-concept data demonstrated its detection sensitivity of pico-molar without any signal amplifica

Network theory can be employed in two ways in archaeology: it can be used to analyse archaeological data, or it can be used to model a historical process for the purpose of simulating the data. This paper focuses on the first approach. In such analyses, similar archaeological contexts are often connected to form a similarity network. Similarity is treated as a proxy for social or causal relationsh

The European REACH legislation accepts the use of non-testing methods, such as QSARs, to inform chemical risk assessment. In this paper, we aim to initiate a discussion on the characterization of predictive uncertainty from QSAR regressions. For the purpose of decision making, we discuss applications from the perspective of applying QSARs to support probabilistic risk assessment. Predictive uncert

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte var att kartlägga den vård vårdpersonalen i Sverige praktiserar när nyfödda barn är döende och dör; samt belysa hur svenska kvinnor upplevt hot om och förlust av sitt nyfödda barn och vården de erhållit; ett ytterligare syfte var att utforska muslimska kvinnors uppfattning om den i Sverige praktiserade neonatala vården i livets slut. De professionelThe aim was to describe the neonatal end-of-life practice and illuminate Swedish women's lived experiences of the threat and the reality of their neonate's dying and death as well as the care received. A further aim was to explore Muslim women's view of current Swedish neonatal-end-of-life care. In a questionnaire with close-ended questions 144 registered nurses described their experiences, behavi

PURPOSE: To determine whether there is any involvement of sympathetic nerves in the regulation of ocular hyaluronan production in the normal and traumatized rabbit iris. METHODS: Unilateral sympathetic denervation was performed by removing the right superior cervical ganglion. Hyaluronan concentrations in the iris and aqueous were measured with a radiometric assay at various time intervals after d

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det finns två etablerade sätt att beskriva zigenarnas historia i Sverige. Historien talar antingen om hur illa myndigheterna burit sig åt mot zigenare, eller så berättar historien om zigenarnas självvalda isolering. Gemensamt för beskrivningarna är påståendet att zigenare alltid varit desamma och uppvisar ett likartat levnadssätt genom historien. I denna avhandling studThis thesis analyses Swedish gypsy policy between 1880 and 1970, as part of a larger sociopolitical project undertaken by the Swedish authorities to promote social order and stability. During this period, the treatment of marginalized groups was shaped by the same visions and objectives as for the population as a whole. Gypsies in Sweden have been subject to the same regulations for as other poor

The purposes of this study were: (i) to determine the test-retest reliability of isokinetic ankle dorsiflexor strength measurements in young healthy adults using the Biodex dynamometer, and (ii) to examine several statistical measures for the interpretation of reliability. Thirty men and women (mean age 23 +/- 3 years) performed three maximal concentric contractions at 30 degrees/s, 60 degrees/s,

Popular Abstract in Swedish Målet med kollektivtrafik är bl a att anordna transportförsörjning för alla samhällsgrupper på ett samhällsekonomiskt effektivt vis. En grupp medborgare är rullstolsburna resenärer, vars speciella förutsättningar ställer särskilda krav på transportsystemets utformning. För att utröna dessa speciella förutsättningar på ett ansvarsfullt sätt, är det viktigt att man anläggEliciting wheelchair-seated passengers’ perspective of safety and comfort is both useful and mandatory, particularly for researchers, clinicians, transit authorities, and for operators during purchase and use of vehicle technologies in existing and planned future transport systems. Therefore, the overarching objective of this thesis was to delineate the question of safety and comfort as perceived

We have used DNA microarrays to survey rates of mRNA decay on a genomic scale in early stationary-phase cultures of Bacillus subtilis. The decay rates for mRNAs corresponding to about 1500 genes could be estimated. About 80% of these mRNAs had a half-life of less than 7 min. More than 30 mRNAs, including both mono- and polycistronic transcripts, were found to be extremely stable, i.e. to have a ha

Den reklam som användare möter på internet är idag ofta anpassad och utvald för att överensstämma med dennes intressen. För att erbjuda sådan individuellt riktad reklam använder adtechsektorn metoder som bygger på en storskalig kartläggning av användares onlineaktiviteter. Vanligen är det en tredje part till den tjänst som användaren faktiskt nyttjar som ansvarar för och utför den här kartläggningToday, internet users often face advertising that is tailored and selected to match their interests. To offer such targeted advertising the adtech sector use methods that rely on a large scale tracking of users’ internet activities. In most cases this tracking is performed by a third party to the service that the user is accessing. This makes it hard for individuals to know what information is col

Narcissister förknippas bland annat med ”narcissistisk misshandel”, en bild som sprids av YouTube-kanaler som primärt publicerar videos berörande detta ämne. En netnografisktematisk analys utfördes på kommentarsfältet tillhörande en sådan video, med rubriken ”Why do you feel it so important to know they are definitely a narcissist?”. Detta i mål om att studeras hur ”görandet” av stigma, i form av

The housing market in Malmö is characterized by major differences between socioeconomic groups regarding the possibility to access housing of decent quality. Many households in Malmö with limited financial resources have a hard time meeting their housing needs. To address this problem, Malmö Stad has initiated the “Mallbo project” in which the city of Malmö collaborates with market actors to devel

A barrier option is a financial derivative whose payoff depends on the underlying asset breaching a predefined barrier level. Compared to vanilla options, barrier options are less expensive and may be customized for specific risk management strategies or strategic financial applications. In practice, the underlying asset is monitored only at discrete times, yet accurate and efficient pricing of di

Facebook kan vara ett verktyg för kommuner, regioner och myndigheter (offentlig sektor) att nå ut till medborgare med sin verksamhet. Att producera innehåll på Facebook och administrera en Facebooksida innebär att personuppgifter behandlas, vilket i sin tur innebär att EU:s allmänna dataskyddsförordning blir tillämplig. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att utreda och analysera den offentliga sektoFacebook can be a tool for Swedish municipalities, regions, and public authorities (the public sector) to reach out to citizens. Personal data is processed when one administers a Facebook page and produces content on it, which means that the General Data Protection Regulation becomes applicable. The aim of this thesis is to examine and analyse the responsibilities of the public sector on Facebook
