Plasmodium relictum is the most widespread avian malaria parasite in the world. It is listed as one of the 100 most dangerous invasive species, having been responsible for the extinction of several endemic bird species, and the near-demise of several others. Here we present the first transcriptomic study focused on the effect of P. relictum on the immune system of its vector (the mosquito Culex qu

Laser-induced fluorescence is a clinical diagnostic tool, used for tumor demarcation and detection. The technique relies on the injection or topical application of a light sensitive drug called a photosensitizer. This substance has the ability to be accumulated to higher concentrations in cancer cells than in normal cells. This accumulation procedure takes from a few hours to several days, dependin

A controlled, highly engineered landfill has many similarities to natural peatlands or other natural anoxic sediment deposits. In anaerobic MSW landfills, generally about 30-50 percent of the total carbon content in the waste can be converted into biogas and be collected as resource for energy or chemical industry. Remaining long-lived organic carbon, e.g. from lignin remains un-degraded, Organic

Background Care of old people with multimorbidity living at home is often fragmented with lack of coordination and information exchange between health care professionals, the elderly and their relatives. This paper describes the protocol of a randomised, controlled study, which aims to compare the efficacy of caring for older people with multimorbidity and three or more hospital admissions in the

Background: Over the past decade, several PET tracers were developed to visualise and quantify tau pathology in vivo. However, all these tracers have distinct off-target binding, different dynamic ranges and likely different levels of non-specific binding resulting in large variability in semiquantification. We propose to standardise the sampling and the quantification across all available tau tra

Over the past few decades, digital technologies for health care have been introduced to improve effectiveness, reduce costs, and enhance access [1]. The case for digital health care increased dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic [2,3]. However, less is known about some of the broader conditions under which these technologies would be able to contribute to improving health care [4]. To inform

Collective harm cases are situations in which things will become worse if enough acts of a certain kind are performed but no single act of the relevant kind will make a difference to the outcome. The inefficacy argument says that since one such act does not make a difference to the outcome, you have no outcome-related reason to refrain from acting in this way. If this argument holds, you have no cCollective harm cases are situations in which things will become worse if enough acts of a certain kind are performed but no single act of the relevant kind will make a difference to the outcome.

Kvinnojourerna uppkom för att stötta kvinnor som utsattes för våld i nära relation. Aktivister ansåg inte att myndigheter kunde tillgodose det behovet och därför startades det på deras eget bevåg ideella organisationer som drevs av ideellt aktiva kvinnor för att hjälpa och stötta dessa kvinnor. En förändring i en samhällelig diskurs bidrog till en förskjutning av våld i nära relation från att ha vThe emergence of women’s crisis centres in Sweden occurred when women activists recognised the need to offer shelter and support to women who were being subjected to intimate partner violence. The activists realised the authorities were unequipped and unwilling to offer support to victims of abuse and therefore started independently a movement of volunteer organisations who aimed to enact the supp

Universalitetsprincipen utgör en jurisdiktionsgrund enligt svensk rätt. I slutet av år 2022 meddelade Högsta domstolen ett prejudicerande beslut som behandlade hur universell jurisdiktion ska förstås enligt svensk rätt. Högsta domstolen fastslog i detta fall bland annat att den misstänkte måste ha en tillräcklig anknytning till Sverige för att det ska finnas ett svenskt rättskipningsintresse vid uThe principle of universality constitutes a basis for jurisdiction under Swedish law. At the end of 2022, the Supreme Court delivered a precedent- setting decision dealing with how universal jurisdiction should be interpreted according to Swedish law. The Supreme Court determined that for Swedish courts to exercise universal jurisdiction, there has to be a Swedish judicial interest, which is decid

On February 6, 2023, two earthquakes (7.8MW and 7.7MW) struck Turkey within nine hours, resulting in over 50,000 fatalities and significant damage to critical infrastructures (CI) which provide services essential for the functioning of society. This thesis aims to holistically assess the impact this earthquake had on critical infrastructures for providing vital societal services through the develo

This thesis explores the structure and potential future of public transport in Mainz, Germany, through the lens of the Foundational Economy. The Foundational Economy, a broad project developed by several European scholars, offers a critique of neoliberalism by advocating for renewed policy attention to essential goods and services—such as public transport. The Foundational Economy reorients public

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is part of the well-known IoT concept where a large number of devices need to be interconnected in order to collect and exchange data. Companies’ aim is not only to minimize cost during product design, operation and maintenance but also to enable remote monitoring on the efficiency of the devices-assets through the utilization of cloud services.

Last year’s demographical changes and times of internationalization and also individualization have led to changes in the way welfare services are delivered. More specifically there have been changes made within social care and health care. The new times that have led to privatization has also increased the amount of service providers. Within elderly care, this is not an exception. Waves of New Pu

Denna uppsats jämför de lagstiftningstekniker som valdes av Sverige respektive Storbritannien för att implementera den del av Postdirektivet som omfattar de samhällsomfattande posttjänsterna och vilka resultat respektive land har uppnått. Den utvärderar även EU:s val av regleringsmetod. Motivet bakom Postdirektivet, som trädde ikraft 1997, var EU:s vilja att försäkra invånarna tillgång till samhäThis essay compares the different ways that Sweden and Great Britain respectively chose to implement the part of the Postal Directive that include the universal services and the results that have been achieved by each country. It also evaluates the EU's choice of regulatory approach. The motive behind the Postal Directive, which came into force in 1997, was the EU's desire to assure resid
