The aim of this investigation is to answer the question of why it is prima facie morally wrong to cause or contribute to the extinction of species. The first potential answer investigated in the book is that other species are instrumentally valuable for human beings. The results of this part of the investigation are that many species are instrumentally valuable for human beings but that not all sp
Lucian Blaga started to write his drama having a very strong philosophical and anthropological background, at least subconscious if not literary expressed. Thus his aesthetics within the ten plays is influenced by his primary concern to resuscitate a supposed ancestral mentality. The first aspect that strikes the reader is the omnipotence of the sacred, be it divine or demonic. Anyhow, each of his
Popular Abstract in Swedish Multipla infektioner med olika patogener eller olika stammar av en patogen är vanliga. Positiva eller negativa interaktioner (konkurrens respektive facilitering) mellan patogener som infekterar samma värd kan påverka förekomsten av enskilda patogener och därmed ha stor betydesle för förekomsten av en specifik sjukdom. I denna avhandling studerar jag två fästingburna bakMost animals will encounter several more or less severe infectious diseases during their lifetime, and simultaneous infections with more than one pathogen, or several different strains of the same pathogen, are common in natural populations. Ticks transmit a wide variety of different pathogens and can also be simultaneously infected with more than one pathogen. The possible interactions between di
This chapter discusses the consequences for a long-term sick individual when rehabiliation back to work fails and where she is objectified in a double-sided process. She is objectified first as a "sick body" before the medical authorities charged with producing health. Second she is objectified in terms of her rehabilitation to work, when given the responsibility to find the "healthy" part of her
Use of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) has increased substantially during the last decades. In the beginning fire safety engineering was mainly used for fire performance based design of buildings but recently new areas such as marine transport have appeared as new applications for fire safety engineering. So on one hand we have the increasing use of FSE. On the other hand we have the introduction of
Popular Abstract in Swedish En av tio kvinnor utvecklar bröstcancer någon gång under sin livstid, vilket innebär att bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancertypen hos kvinnor idag. De vanligaste behandlingarna av bröstcancer är kirurgi, radioterapi, kemoterapi, hormonterapi och immunoterapi. Nackdelen med dessa behandlingsmetoder är att de flesta av dem ger allvarliga bieffekter hos patienten. Därför Apoptosis is a defined process for cells to commit suicide through a set of biochemical and morphological cell changes. Activated apoptotic signals converge on the mitochondria, leading to permeabilization of mitochondrial membranes and release of different apoptosis regulatory proteins into the cytosol. With my studies I wanted to investigate the importance of polyamines in the regulation of apop
Three potential filter materials, granular activated carbon, bone meal and iron fines, were evaluated for treatment of heavy metal contaminated landfill leachate. All materials could sorb some metals to a high extent; more than 90 % of some metals were removed. However, all filters suffered from the drawback of releasing unwanted substances. Geochemical modelling was used to elucidate sorption mec
The article presents the results of a quantitative study of Norwegian and Swedish newspaper articles from 2000 and 2001. The study includes a limited content analysis of the newspaper articles, and a comparison to statistical data on migration.
Background Anastomotic leak is one of the most serious complications following bariatric laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB), and associated with high morbidity rates and prolonged hospital stay. Timely management is of utmost importance for the clinical outcome. This study evaluated the approach to suspected leakage in a high-volume bariatric surgery unit. Methods All consecutive
