Although border politics have been given much theoretical attention in recent years, empirical studies of identity construction among border police officers are less common. In 2014, a two-year collaborative project partly funded by the EU was initiated in order to increase international collaboration between border police officers in the Baltic Sea area. The participating organizations were borde
Biomedical research projects involving multiple partners from public and private sectors require coherent internal governance mechanisms to engender good working relationships. The DIRECT project is an example of such a venture, funded by the Innovative Medicines Initiative Joint Undertaking (IMI JU). This paper describes the data access policy that was developed within DIRECT to support data acce
The Kattegat has, since the 1980s, been subject to extensive investigations focusing on various aspects of the marine environment. The most important reasons for this concentration of work are marine eutrophication, periodically occurring oxygen deficiency in the bottom-water and subsequent benthic mortality. In this study a previously not discussed sill area separating two deep areas in the Katte
The specific insertion of a divalent metal ion into tetrapyrrole macrocycles is catalyzed by a group of enzymes called chelatases. Distortion of the tetrapyrrole has been proposed to be an important component of the mechanism of metallation. We present the structures of two different inhibitor complexes: (1) N-methylmesoporphyrin (N-MeMP) with the His183Ala variant of Bacillus subtilis ferrochelat
This article discusses the advantages of the the Coherence Based Genealogical Method (CBGM), not only as a tool for reconstructing the text of the New Testament, but also for surveying the history of readings and for explaining textual changes. The CBGM promises to detect readings, which have emerged several times independently in the textual tradition. The method is applied to selected examples i
Influences on stratospheric aerosol during the first four months following the eruption of Kasatochi volcano (Alaska) were studied using observations at 10700 +/- 600 m altitude from the CARIBIC platform. Collected aerosol samples were analyzed for elemental constituents. Particle number concentrations were recorded in three size intervals together with ozone mixing ratios and slant column densiti
The purpose of this paper was to see how poverty and social exclusion has been defined, measured and understood together with the urbanization process in a mega-city like Sao Paulo and also to look upon and analyze the connection and importance of policy correlated with these notions in the last decades, especially from 1990s until present. The questions that have been answered in order to fulfil
In this thesis I investigate the potential trade effects associated with three antidumping cases filed by the U.S. steel industry during the first decade of the 21st century. The analysis consists of a detailed case study, covering everything from the establishment of dumping margins to the final effects. The empirical results are consistent with expected effects, i.e. decreasing imports from targ
My thesis consists of three main parts. The first part, Chapter 2, describes the legal framework regulating free movement of goods, with the focus on quantitative restrictions in the EC. The starting point of this chapter is the current approach to harmonization in completing the internal market. This section considers the limits of economic integration prior to 1986 and the important steps taken
The mast cell mediator histamine is involve in T2D pathogenicity Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder which is characterized by high glucose levels in blood and urine. Diabetes is one of the most expanding diseases in the world today. There are 2 major types of diabetes; type 2 diabetes (T2D) contributes with up to 90% of all diabetes subtypes. Patients with T2D compose up to 150 mill
We have estimated affinities for the binding of 34 ligands to trypsin and nine guest molecules to three different hosts in the SAMPL3 blind challenge, using the MM/PBSA, MM/GBSA, LIE, continuum LIE, and Glide score methods. For the trypsin challenge, none of the methods were able to accurately predict the experimental results. For the MM/GB(PB)SA and LIE methods, the rankings were essentially rand
Three dimensional domain swapping is one of the mechanisms involved in formation of insoluble aggregates of some amyloidogenic proteins. It has been proposed that proteins able to swap domains may share some common structural elements like conformationally constrained flexible turns/loops. We studied the role of loop L1 in the dimerization of human cystatin C using mutational analysis. Introductio
The decays of the high angular momentum, high spin F-4(0) states of the electron configuration 3s3p3d in aluminium-like ions (with three electrons outside a closed shell) have been identified in delayed spectra of foil excited Ti, Fe and Ni ion beams. The line identifications were aided by HXR, MCHF, and MCDF calculations and are corroborated by lifetime measurements which demonstrate the differen
