This article explores the ethics of world heritage (WH) through a cosmopolitan lens. It proposes that cosmopolitanism provides fertile ground for the study of WH, in particular if combined with sensitivity to distinct indigenous ethical and political claims. Underpinning my article is the question of whether the politics of WH, despite its peaceful and universalist intensions, obscures local dispu
High-precision analyses of the isotopic composition of methane in ambient air can potentially be used to discriminate between different source categories. Due to the complexity of isotope ratio measurements, such analyses have generally been performed in the laboratory on air samples collected in the field. This poses a limitation on the temporal resolution at which the isotopic composition can be
Antalet medborgare inom Europeiska unionen som nyttjar den fria rörligheten ökar konstant. Fler och fler familjer har på något sätt en internationell koppling, ett vanligt exempel är äktenskap mellan två personer med olika medborgarskap. När vardagslivet blivit mer globaliserat och oberoende av nationsgränser blir det ibland problematiskt då lagstiftningen inte anpassats därefter. För bara ett par
Nya begrepp att ha koll på inför studiestarten. Vad är skillnaden mellan en institution och en fakultet? Vad är egentligen Ladok?

Mapping of the spatial and temporal motion of particles inside an optical field is critical for understanding and further improvement of the 3D spatio-temporal control over their optical trapping dynamics. However, it is not trivial to capture the 3D motion, and most imaging systems only capture a 2D projection of the 3D motion, in which the information about the axial movement is not directly ava
Arctic waders are well known for their impressive long-distance migrations between their high northerly breeding grounds and wintering areas in the Southern hemisphere. Performing such long migrations requires precise orientation mechanisms. We conducted orientation cage experiments with juvenile sharp-tailed sandpipers (Calidris acuminata) to investigate what cues they rely on when departing from
Collagen XVI is integrated tissue-dependently into distinct fibrillar aggregates, such as D-banded cartilage fibrils and fibrillin-1-containing microfibrils. In skin, the distribution of collagen XVI overlaps that of the collagen-binding integrins alpha 1 beta 1 and alpha 2 beta 1. Basal layer keratinocytes express integrin alpha 2 beta 1, whereas integrin alpha 1 beta 1 occurs in smooth muscle ce
In order to better address the feedbacks between climate and wetland methane (CH4) emissions, we tested several mechanistic improvements to the wetland CH4 emission model Peatland-VU with a longer Arctic data set than any other model: (1) inclusion of an improved hydrological module, (2) incorporation of a gross primary productivity (GPP) module, and (3) a more realistic soil-freezing scheme. A lo
We have investigated the inhibition of the recently identified family C13 cysteine peptidase, pig legumain, by human cystatin C. The cystatin was seen to inhibit enzyme activity by stoichiometric 1:1 binding in competition with substrate. The Ki value for the interaction was 0.20 nM, i.e. cystatin C had an affinity for legumain similar to that for the papain-like family C1 cysteine peptidase, cath
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) that control cell cycle progression are regulated in many ways, including activating phosphorylation of a conserved threonine residue. This essential phosphorylation is carried out by the CDK-activating kinase (CAK). Here we examine the effects of replacing this threonine residue in human CDK2 by serine. We found that cyclin A bound equally well to wild-type CDK2 (C
Gruppen driver forskning kring mätning och behandling av svår kronisk andnöd (dyspné) samt behandling av kronisk andningssvikt. Gruppen har nära samarbete med ledande forskare nationellt och ett internationellt forskningsnätverk kring klinisk dyspnéforskning. Studier inkluderar epidemiologiska analyser, Cochrane meta-analyser, kliniska kohortstudier samt randomiserade kontrollerade behandlingsstudThe research group focuses on the mechanisms, measurement and treatment of severe chronic breathlessness (dyspnea) and management of chronic respiratory failure. The research is conducted in close collaboration with leading researchers nationally and an international research network. Studies include epidemiological analyses, Cochrane meta-analyses, clinical cohorts and randomized controlled trial
