A knife is a tool which is used for both in- and outdoor purposes. Although wearing a knife in public areas is criminalized by Swedish law, the regulation includes several reservations about dispensations of judgement if the wearing is considered to be legitimated. The purpose of this study is to investigate and discuss the potential difficulties with the legal practice of the prohibition of knife
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli attach to epithelial cells through P fimbriae that bind Galα1‐4Galβ‐oligosaccharide sequences in cell surface glycosphingolipids. The binding of P‐fimbriated E. coli to uroepithelial cells causes the release of ceramide, activation of the ceramide signalling pathway and a cytokine response in the epithelial cells. The present study examined the molecular source of ce
In Huntington's disease (HD), cognitive symptoms and cellular dysfunction precede the onset of classical motor symptoms and neuronal death in the striatum and cortex by almost a decade. This suggests that the early cognitive deficits may be due to a cellular dysfunction rather than being a consequence of neuronal loss. Abnormalities in dendritic spines are described in HD patients and in HD animal
Dendritic cells (DCs) operate as the link between innate and adaptive immunity. Their expression of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), such as TLRs and CLRs, enable antigen recognition and mediate appropriate immune responses. Distinct subsets of human DCs have been identified; however their PRRs expressions are not fully clarified. Especially, expressions of CLRs by DC subpopulations remain el
It is well-known that the participation in a design process can be experienced as being so meaningful that the participation in itself overshadows even the result of that process. The participants in this design project represent a user group that often use products in which functional value is pre-eminent: people with disabilities. Thereby special attention has been given to the concepts of stigm
This essay highlights a discussion that arose in connection with the ‘Pirate Bay’ case, concerning impartiality of judges. The purpose of the essay is to investigate the circumstances under which a judge may have a conflict of interest, and how this issue should be solved when the solution is unclear. The essay focuses on the rule in Chapter 4, Section 14, note 10, and how it was applied in the pr
De senaste hundra åren har inneburit en förändring i det globala maktmönstret; stater är inte längre de enda internationella rättssubjekten, även internationella organisationer kan anta denna roll. Detta har betytt att samarbeten mellan internationella aktörer har blivit allt viktigare. Även EU vill hävda sin identitet som internationell aktör på den internationella scenen. I och med ikraftträdanThe past century has seen a change in the global pattern of power; states are no longer the only recognized subjects of international law, also international organisations can assume that role. This has meant that the cooperation between these kinds of international actors has grown increasingly important. Also the EU is seeking to assert its identity on the international scene. With the entry i
Somalia piracy has its effects on the sea, off the coast of Somalia and in the wider Indian Ocean. However, the source of the problem has its roots on the Somali land. Economic hardship, absence of an effective government and law enforcement are the driving force of piracy. External interference to the Somali land by the colonial powers and some other African states urged the Somaliland into polit
This thesis provides a formal analysis of Agnès Varda’s documentary The Beaches of Agnès (2008), focusing on how the formal elements in the film such as voice-over, reenactments and the use of mirrors create a sense of self-awareness in the film. Through Agnès Varda’s extensive body of work it is possible to see the historical movement of the essay film, from its relation to the French Cinema fro
Sweden has one of the most restrictive HIV transmission laws in the world. The Communicable Diseases Act contains the duty to inform, demanding that HIV positive people must inform their partners about their HIV status before sexual intercourse. Sex is also not permitted without a condom. Charges can be brought against HIV positive people not only in the case of actual HIV transmission, but also w
This essay examines the nature of contemporary UN peacebuilding mandates and the critique aimed at incorporating Western liberal ideas in postconflict peacebuilding missions. A critical discussion is provided to highlight the problems inherited in promoting liberal peacebuilding in peace operations, followed by an analysis and comparison of the mandates for UNAMSIL and UNMIS through an analytical
Purpose: The purpose of the thesis was to investigate if the Merton model had any predictive power of changes in Moody’s credit ratings and if there was a difference in the predictability between upgrades and downgrades. This was done in an effort to either support or dismiss the opinion that credit ratings are lagging. Methodology: The distance-to-default (DD) was calculated with the Merton mode
The purpose was to investigate whether the Merton Model works in emerging markets and if it does how efficient it works there compared to in mature markets. Findings show that the Merton model works in emerging markets and considers country specific information, yet only through stock prices and volatility. However, the model does not account for quality and availability of information in thes
An analysis of the dialogue between Ursula Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness and Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice, in terms of androgyny, the uncanny, and unity/disunity.
In 2017 the Swedish government takes the decision that conscription will be reactivated after eight years of sleep. Major system changes like this need time to find their path so they are able to produce. Therefore, several questions are raised ahead of the reactivation of the conscription. This study answers to the question why the conscription was taken back in service. The answer and driving fo
