Abstract in Italian Nell’aprile 2011, al famoso logo della community di file sharing globale The Pirate Bay fu aggiunta l’immagine di una lente di ingrandimento e il nome del sito cambiò in The Research Bay. Gli utenti che cliccarono sul nuovo logo furono reindirizzati su un sondaggio online; durante le 72 ore di svolgimento dello studio, 75.000 file-sharer compilarono il questionario preparato da
The underpinning idea of extended producer responsibility rules has been to provide incentives for manufacturers to design products that are easy to recycle. However, current incentives for design for recycling are limited, due to the problems in assigning costs for collection and recycling of individual products to the relevant producers. An alternative way to promote design for recycling, or to
Popular Abstract in Swedish I högrisksystem såsom sjukvården är det frestande att härleda såväl framgång som motgång till enskilda individer. Vi prisar hjälten Dr. House för framgångssagor och vi drar syndabocken SOS-sköterskan inför domstol för att inte ha uppfattat allvaret i en specifik situation. Den enskildes professionalitet, erfarenhet och klokskap används som förklaringsmodeller för framgåThe main aim of the research is to explore different aspects of organisational resilience in escalating situations, with an investigation of both theoretical and practical implications. From the platform of an explorative approach, this study makes use of naturalistic research in the domain of health care and experimental simulation studies, in order to establish a broad theoretical framework vis-
Popular Abstract in Swedish I gruppen huvudhalscancer ingår tumörer i övre luftvägar och svalg. Riskfaktorer för huvudhalscancer är rökning och alkoholöverkonsumtion. Under de senaste 20-30 åren har det skett en påtaglig ökning av insjuknandet, 4-5% per år, i det som kallas orofaryngeal cancer. Orofaryngeal cancer utgår från mellansvalget; mandlar, tungbas och mjuka gommen. Ökningen sammanfaller mThe treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is surgery or (chemo)radiotherapy +/- surgery. Side effects related to therapy are long lasting and adversely affects quality of life. The incidence of oropharyngeal cancer is increasing and patients commonly present an advanced tumour stage with neck metastases at the time of diagnosis. The treatment protocol previously comprised rad
This study investigates online material published in reaction to a Science magazine report showing the absence of peer-review and editorial processes in a set of fee-charging open access journals in Biology. Quantitative and qualitative textual analyses are combined to map conceptual relations in these reactions; and to explore how understandings of scholarly communication and publishing relate to
Popular Abstract in Swedish Arsenik (As) finns i grundvatten på många platser i världen, och mer än 100 miljoner människor världen över exponeras dagligen för As via dricksvatten. Kronisk exponering för As kan orsaka bl.a. cancer, hjärt-kärlsjukdom och diabetes. När As omsätts (metaboliseras) i kroppen bildas flera olika omsättningsprodukter (metaboliter) emellan vilka giftigheten skiljer sig åt. Over 100 million people around the world are exposed to high concentrations of arsenic (As) in drinking water, associated with a number of adverse health effects such as skin, lung and bladder cancer, vascular diseases and diabetes. In humans, As is metabolized via alternating reduction and methylation reactions, from inorganic As (iAs) into monomethylated (MMA) and dimethylated As (DMA). The most
The extent to which in-situ global mechanical tensioning (GMT) can be used to modify the residual stress state in friction stir (FS) welds is investigated in this article. Residual stress distributions have been determined by synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction for four sets of FS welds in high-strength AA7449-W51 and lithium containing AA2199-T8 aerospace aluminum alloys subjected to a syst
This article examines the modern concept of literary value. Since the late 18th century, the problem of literary value has been regarded, from the point of view of the so called double discourse of value, as a presupposed opposition between material and spiritual ”economies”. Many Romanticist and Modernist authors believe that literature – and in a broader sense art and aesthetics – constitute a v
The flexibility demands in manufacturing are severe, e.g., for rapid-change-over to new product variants, while robots are flexible machines that potentially can be adapted to a large variety of production tasks. Task definitions such as explicit robot programs are hardly reusable from an application point-of-view. To improve the situation, a knowledge-based approach exploiting distributed declara
The mechanism of atomic and molecular ionization in intense, ultra-short laser fields is a subject which continues to receive considerable attention. An inherent difficulty with techniques involving the tight focus of a laser beam is the continuous distribution of intensities contained within the focus, which can vary over several orders of magnitude. The present study adopts time of flight mass s
Trends towards distributed power generation and the deregulation of energy markets are increasing the requirement for software tools that optimize power generation plant design and operation. In this context, this paper describes the GTPOM (thermo-economic optimization of whole gas turbine plant) European project, funded in part through the European Commissions 5th Framework Programme, focusing on
Astrocytes play a critical role during the development and the maintenance of the CNS in health and disease. Yet, their lack of accessibility from fetuses and from the brain of diseased patients has hindered our understanding of their full implication in developmental and pathogenic processes. Human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are an alternative source to obtain large quantities of astrocytes in
Recent studies in Drosophila have shown that heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are required for Wingless (Wg/Wnt) signaling. In addition, genetic and phenotypic analyses have implicated the glypican gene daily in this process. Here, we report the identification of another Drosophila glypican gene, daily-like (dly) and show that it is also involved in Wg signaling. Inhibition of dly gene activi
