Efter terrorattackerna i London är det troligt att acceptansen ökar för övervakning av det offentliga rummet. Ytterligare ökade be-fogenheter för polis och underrättelseväsen kan också väntas. Då blir det viktigt att utifrån demokratiska principer definiera vad som är den offentliga respektive den privata sfären, skriver statsvetaren Mikael Sundström vid Lunds universitet.

The exocrine pancreas is mainly regulated via neuro-hormonal pathways. CCK-dependent regulatory pathways and CCK-receptor subtype involved seem to differ between mammalian species. The first aim of the thesis was to establish the physiological dose-range for CCK, to further explore the short entero-pancreatic reflex and CCK-receptor subtypes involved in the CCK-mediated regulation of the exocrin

In this paper an alternative approach to model predictive control is presented. In traditional MPC a finite horizon open loop optimal control problem is solved in each sampling instance. When uncertainties such as computational delays are present, one can encounter problems. We propose to parametrize the control sequence in each sampling instant in terms of a linear feedback controller, i.e. in ea

It is argued, that the use of water can no longer be regarded as an almost free commodity. The idea to assess and value the environmental impact of the water use represents a true change of paradigm. The key issue is that any future wastewater treatment system has to be evaluated according to a quantitative criterion. This has to consider: •hygienic aspects: we believe that nobody will accept a l

The study of psychosocial is highly relevant for project-based sector like construction owing to the following justifications: mobility of workers, constant change of workplace, diversity of work performed, physically demanding, high health and safety risk, meeting deadlines, monetary constraints and male-dominated industry. All these factors contribute to the industry having unique and different

The direct involvement of the human leukocyte antigen class II DR-DQ genes in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is well established, and these genes display a complex hierarchy of risk effects at the genotype and haplotype levels. We investigated, using data from 38 studies, whether the DR-DQ haplotypes and genotypes show the same relative predispositional effects across populations and ethnic groups. Signifi

A Round Table Discussion on the Legacy of the late A. Gurevich and a book dedicated to his memory and ideas Saluting Aron Gurevich: Essays in History, Literature and Other Related Subjects (Brill, Spring 2010). The session will unite the contributors of the volume, its editor, illustrator, as well as Gurevich's longtime friends, colleagues, and disciples. It should interest and attract all those i
