Russia is a country in transition towards democracy. After a long period of economical and political suppression, people have a chance to participate in society's life, to affect the ruling government and to express their views more freely. However, in order for the democratic transition to continue, it is not enough to merely have a chance to participate and be active&semic there should b
I mål B554-15 från Borås tingsrätt och mål B3118-16 från Hovrätten för Västra Sverige var en i domstolen könad man åtalad för att ha våldtagit en i domstolen könad kvinna. Den tilltalade påstods ha genomfört sexuella handlingar genom att otillbörligt ha utnyttjat att målsäganden befunnit sig i en särskilt utsatt situation. Den tilltalade fälldes för våldtäkt i tingsrätten. I hovrätten friades han In case B554-15 from Borås District Court and case B3118-16 from Court of Appeal for Western Sweden, a gendered man was impeached for having raped a gendered woman. The accused was charged with having performed sexual acts on the complainant, improperly exploiting the fact that she was in a particularly vulnerable situation. The accused was convicted by Borås tingsrätt for having raped the complai
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka i vilken utsträckning cyberkrigsföring regleras av den internationella humanitära rätten. Särskild vikt läggs vid hur begreppet ”attack” i Tilläggsprotokoll I till Genèvekonventionerna ska tolkas i förhållande till cyberoperationer (en. cyber operations) som sker inom ramen för internationella väpnade konflikter, och tillämpligheten av de materiella reglerThe aim of this paper is to examine how cyber operations that are undertaken in the context of international armed conflicts are regulated in international humanitarian law. It will focus on the qualification of cyber operations as ‘attacks’ and the applicability of the substantive rules that restrict the conduct of hostilities under the Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions. In particul
This study aims to increase the understanding of how an organisation applies crisis communi- cation strategies on social media, how users respond to these crisis communication messages, and what the nature of the interaction between the organisation and users is. Three research questions were developed, which consisted of 1) what crisis communication strategies and tac- tics Boeing uses on Faceboo
Background The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is involved in several diseases and patho- physiological states, such as Alzheimer’s disease and hydrocephalus. Previous studies CSF dynamics in the brain show that the flow of the CSF depends on cardiac pulsation, time of day and respiration. Methods In this thesis, the validity of using real time phase contrast MRI in order to study CSF flow is evaluated
After studying economic integration it doesn’t come as a shock that preferential trade agreements (PTA) have an effect on the countries within the PTA, or outside the PTA for that matter also. The majority of the Latin American countries have been considered as developing countries for the better part of the 21st century, and have, for the most part, been secluded from the world market. Since the
Johan Ekeblad was a Swedish diplomat and nobleman during the period of the Swedish Empire in the 17th century who is mostly known for his letters, written in an impressionistic and highly modern style. This paper aims to treat Johan Ekeblad and his writing as a representative of a new form of mentality that emerged amongst Swedes when Sweden due to its new power reemerged on the European scene. Th
Den 1 januari 2009 slopades avskattningsregeln för personaloptioner till förmån för en regel anpassad till EU-praxis. Avskattningsregeln reglerade anställda som deltagit i personaloptionsprogram och som flyttat ut ur Sverige innan programmet löpt ut. Avskattningsregeln träffade den del av personaloptionen för vilken kvalifikationstidpunkten infallit under tid då den anställde haft sitt hemvist iOn January the first 2009 the rule of exit taxation for stock-options was abolished in favor of a rule adapted to EU case law. The rule of exit taxation regulated employees who participated in stock option plans and who moved out of Sweden before those plans had expired. The rule of exit taxation was aimed at those stock options for which vesting had occurred during the period when the employee r
AIMS: Cellular communication network factor 2 (CCN2) is a matricellular protein implicated in fibrotic diseases, with ongoing clinical trials evaluating anti-CCN2-based therapies. By uncovering CCN2 as abundantly expressed in non-diseased artery tissue, this study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that CCN2 plays a pivotal role in maintaining smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotype and protection aga
Advancements in light engineering have led to the creation of pulsed laser sources capable of delivering high-repetition-rate, high-power few-cycle laser pulses across a wide spectral range, enabling exploration of many fascinating nonlinear processes occurring in all states of matter. High-harmonic generation, one such process, which converts the low-frequency photons of the driver laser field in
The purpose of the dissertation is to trace the working process of Johannes Widekindi (ca 1620–1678), Swedish historiographer of the Realm, when writing his bilingual history of the Swedish military actions in Russia in 1609–1617, published in 1671 in Swedish as Thet Swenska i Ryssland tijo åhrs Krijgz-Historie and in 1672 in Latin as Historia Belli Sveco-Moscovitici Decennalis.Chapter 1 of the di
Introduction: Case–control analyses have shown BARD1 variants to be associated with up to >2-fold increase in risk of breast cancer, and potentially greater risk of triple negative breast cancer. BARD1 is included in several gene sequencing panels currently marketed for the prediction of risk of cancer, however there are no gene-specific guidelines for the classification of BARD1 variants. We pres
The glutamatergic neurotransmission system and the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) have been implicated in smoking and alcohol consumption behavior. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that nicotine and ethanol influence NMDAR functionality, which may have a role in tendencies to consume these substances. Nonetheless, little is known about concentrations of NMDAR coagonists in the cerebros
Background: Dose-dense (DD) adjuvant chemotherapy improves outcomes in early breast cancer (BC). However, there are no phase 3 randomized data to inform on its combination with trastuzumab for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–positive disease. Methods: This was a protocol-predefined secondary analysis of the randomized phase 3 Pan-European Tailored Chemotherapy (PANTHE
Background. Stress influences many aspects of animal behaviour and is a major factor driving populations to adapt to Changing living conditions, such as during domestication. Stress can affect offspring through non-genetic mechanisms, but recent research indicates that inherited epigenetic modifications of the genome could possibly also be involved. Methodology/Principal Findings. Red junglefowl (
Purpose– The purpose of this study is to analyse the views stock market actors have on corporate communication of corporate social responsibility (CSR) information grounded on legitimacy and stakeholder theory. Recent findings suggest that management teams experience an increased interest and demand for CSR information from the actors on the stock market and that this underlie a focus shift. This
BACKGROUND: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening and concomitant treatment can be implemented in several ways. The authors investigated how the net benefit of PSA screening varies between common practice versus “good practice.”. METHODS: Microsimulation screening analysis (MISCAN) was used to evaluate the effect on quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) if 4 recommendations were followed: limite
Sub-barrier Coulomb excitation was performed on a mixed beam of 62Mn and 62Fe, following in-trap β− decay of 62Mn at REX-ISOLDE, CERN. The trapping and charge breeding times were varied in order to alter the composition of the beam, which was measured by means of an ionisation chamber at the zero-angle position of the Miniball array. A new transition was observed at 418 keV, which has been tentati
