Understanding stellar evolution and its effect on planetary systems is crucial for correctly interpreting the chemical constraints of exo-planetary material that can be given to us by white dwarfs. This article will describe how asteroids, moons, and comets, as well as boulders, pebbles and dust, evolve into eventual targets for chemical spectroscopy, and how planets and companion stars play a vit
On December 9, 2016, South Korea's National Assembly voted to impeach the country's president, Park Geun-hye, over abuse of power among other charges. Three months later, the Constitutional Court upheld the impeachment and she was dismissed from office-the first South Korean president to be removed this way. New elections were called. Park was then made the subject of a criminal investigation and
Background: Little is known about whether the protective effect of marriage on alcohol use disorder (AUD) varies by cultural background. Aims: Using Swedish national data, we examined whether marriage is associated with a stronger reduction in AUD risk among Swedes of a Swedish background (i.e. those with two Swedish-born parents) compared to Swedes with a foreign background (i.e. one or two forei
Context. The nuclear stellar disc (NSD) is a flat and dense stellar structure at the centre of the Milky Way. Previous work has identified the presence of metal-rich and metal-poor stars in the NSD, suggesting that they have different origins. The recent publication of photometric, metallicity, proper motion, and orbital catalogues allows the NSD stellar population to be characterised with unprece
This article compares the policy and collective bargaining responses in the three Scandinavian countries to the cost-of-living crisis that began in 2021. The countries are known for their coordinated and consensual response to exogenous shocks. However, Scandinavian variants of neoliberal reforms, the 2009 Financial Crisis and, more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic have challenged the model. The co
Denna rapport identifierar och analyserar investeringsmöjligheter samt produktionsoperationella förändringar i produktionen av hålpipor. Studien avser en ledande svensk tillverkare i branschen och påbörjas med en analys av företaget självt samt dess kunder. Därefter undersöks förtegets nuvarande produktionsförmåga, varvid investeringsmöjligheter identifieras och analyseras. Slutligen diskuteras ocThis report identifies and investigates possible investment alternatives and operational improvements to the production of perforating punches. The analysis is conducted for a leading Swedish manufacturer in the industry. First, an analysis of the company and its customers is performed, followed by a study of the current production capabilities. Based on this investigation, key investments opportu
The news media remains as one of the most important sources of societal uptake of climate change information. Its potential to covertly shape public perception and attitudes regarding climate change is therefore considerable but difficult to assess. This thesis underscores the discursive and cognitive role of metaphor in this dynamic by using a framework that combines the theory of conceptual meta
The following paper aims to assess Mongolia’s recent decision to engage in its first issue of sovereign bonds, announced for the fall of 2010. To this end, both a qualitative and a quantitative analysis of the bond characteristics and implications were conducted. The comparative country analysis provides insight into previous activities on the sovereign bond market, and helps estimate the expected
Morphogenesis of the Drosophila melanogaster embryo is associated with a dynamic reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton that is mediated by small GTPases of the Rho family. Often, Rho1 controls different aspects of cytoskeletal function in parallel, requiring a complex level of regulation. We show that the guanine triphosphate (GTP) exchange factor DRhoGEF2 is apically localized in epithelial ce
Retinitis pigmentosa is a blinding disease in which unknown mechanisms cause the degeneration of retinal photoreceptors. The retinal degeneration (rd1) mouse is a relevant model for this condition, since it carries a mutation also found in some forms of retinitis pigmentosa. To understand the degenerative process in the rd1 mouse, we must identify the survival and apoptosis-related signaling pathw
Recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vector-induced neuropeptide Y (NPY) overexpression in the hippocampus exerts powerful antiepileptic and antiepileptogenic effects in rats. Such gene therapy approach could be a valuable alternative for developing new antiepileptic treatment strategies. Future clinical progress, however, requires more detailed evaluation of possible side effects of this tre
This thesis provides an analysis of the Eurozone‟s crisis management during the European debt crisis from a Neorealist perspective. It assesses the explanatory power of Neorealism for the counter-measures taken in response to the European debt crisis. The main argument is that in times of crisis, the member states of the European Union may fall back to Neorealist behavior, despite any integrating
Flying animals need continual sensory feedback about their body position and orientation for flight control. The visual system provides essential but slow feedback. In contrast, mechanosensory channels can provide feedback at much shorter timescales. How the contributions from these two senses are integrated remains an open question in most insect groups. In Diptera, fast mechanosensory feedback i
The pilot project reported here utilized the first technology ever developed for the computerized on-line registration and analysis of finger movements during Braille reading. Five congenitally blind subjects performed tactile reading of pedagogically carefully selected texts. Two specialists in visual impairments analyzed the computer-registered reading activities using specially designed interac

The Israel-Palestine conflict reached a critical juncture with the horrible attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023, triggering a devastating invasion by Israel into the Gaza Strip. This escalation catapulted the conflict into a global focus, intensifying calls for a ceasefire amidst mounting Israeli violence. Against this backdrop, this paper aims to analyze media framing of violence in conf
This thesis combines labour regime analysis with Marx’s distinctive class of modern landed property in a case-study situated at the small-scale gold mine La Mina Vincente. It examines how the Colombian state's efforts to formalize artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) intersect with the presence of illegal armed groups, shaping the labour regime of La Mina Vincente. The study makes use of qua
