Popular science summary: Recessive mutations in STUB1 cause cerebellar ataxia Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias (ARCA) constitute a group of rare disorders characterized by ataxia due to cerebellum neurodegeneration. Here we characterize three novel mutations in the STUB1 (STIP1 homology and U-box containing protein) gene as the cause of ARCA in two families. STUB1 encodes CHIP (C-terminus

Den svenska riksdagen har höga ambitioner om att utveckla den förnyelsebara energin i allmänhet och vindkraften i synnerhet. Nationella energi- och miljöpolitiska mål har antagits för att förenkla etableringar och således skapa förutsättningar för en utveckling av vindkraften i Sverige. Ambitionerna är högt ställda men politiska ställningstagande kräver verkställighet och resultatet av det finner The Swedish Parliament sets high ambitions in order to develop renewable energy in general and wind energy in particular.

Sammanfattning Människans rätt till självbestämmande är en grundläggande rättighet som i de allra flesta sammanhang i livet tillskrivs stor betydelse. Även inom hälso- och sjukvården betonas respekten för människans integritet och autonomi. När det gäller livets slutskede och människans rätt att styra över hur och när hon vill avsluta sitt liv får självbestämmanderätten emellertid vika till förmåSummary The human right to self-determination is a fundamental right, which in most situations in life is considered to be of high importance. This approach also applies in the department of medical care, in which the respect for the individual integrity and autonomy is emphasized. Regarding the final stages of life, the right to self-determination and the right to control how and when a person w
Uppsatsen redogör för rättsläget kring olovligt spridande av privata bilder på internet. I dagsläget bedöms sådant spridande vanligtvis som förtal i Sverige. För att något ska utgöra förtal ska en uppgift ha spridits som varit ägnad att utsätta personen för andras missaktning. Bedömningen av huruvida en uppgift varit ägnad att utsätta en person för andras missaktning och huruvida personens ära bliThe subject of this essay is the legal situation regarding unauthorized distribution of private photos on the Internet.

In multi body simulation (MBS) using flexible bodies, damping is an important model input to be able to predict the response of a structure with sufficient precision. The purpose of this thesis has been to estimate the structural damping of an experimental setup and implement the estimated damping into MBS-models of the setup. In this thesis the modal properties in terms of natural frequencies, m
Since the introduction of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), its impacts on developing countries have been widely discussed by scholars. In this article, we focus on the impacts of stronger Intellectual Property protection, pushed by TRIPS, on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) potentials and performances of the developing countries at diff
Fjärrvärmenät för ett energieffektivare Lund Lund är en stad i förändring. En helt ny design på fjärrvärmenätet skulle kunna vara en lösning på många problem. I dagens samhälle ses ett uppvärmt hem som en självklarhet. Men värmen uppkommer inte av sig själv. För att värma sitt hem använder många idag fjärrvärme då detta är både en smidig, miljövänlig och ofta billig lösning. I Lund har fjärrvärmeLund is a rapidly growing city, and in a short time two new research facilities, ESS and MAX IV, will be completed. These facilities will deliver their excess heat to the district heating network of Lund which puts a high demand on the network. Kraftringen Energi AB, which owns and operates the network, are also in the process of replacing old pipes which motivates a through investigation of which
The Maputo Declaration was launched in 2003 as a response to the stagnation of African agriculture. The signatories agreed that 10% of public expenditure should be spent on agriculture in an effort to increase agricultural productivity. This paper examines to what degree the goal of the Maputo declaration has been reached. Little to no evidence was found for a direct positive impact on agricultura
Att kunna se igenom människor Att kunna flyga, vara osynlig och ha röntgensyn – de superkrafterna är det många som önskar sig. Faktum är att röntgensyn är en verklighet; man måste bara få tag på lite speciell utrustning. På sjukhus runtom i världen används det dagligen medicinska avbildningtekniker som antingen grundar sig på röntgenstrålar eller andra former av strålning. Dessa tekniker hjälperThe full-width-at-half-maximum of the point spread functions for a pixellated cadmium telluride detector exposed to gammas from a 140.5 keV Tc-99m source are modelled in GATE, at a detector-collimator distance of 5 cm, and collimator-source distances of 5 cm and 10 cm, with lead pinholes of diameter 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm and 5.0 mm acting as collimators. The PILATUS3 X CdTe 300k detector from Dec
Despite the increased focus on sustainable urban development both within academia and in urban planning practices, authors seem to agree that we are mostly continuing business as usual and are not embarking on different socio-environmental trajectories. On the contrary, such urban sustainability practices can often lead to processes of displacement and gentrification, thus worsening the conditions
