We have studied a selection of factors influencing the damage of DNA in nanochannels during fluorescence imaging. For cutting and nicking of DNA we show that the DNA is shortened during imaging. To avoid photodamage over the course of several hours of a typical experiment, we demonstrate the importance of an oxygen free gas to propel the buffer solution through the device. Finally, by varying the

Bulgarian apico-alveolar stops and Swedish dorsovelar stops are palatalized when adjacent to front vowels. An X-ray motion film study of these assimilations (part of an ongoing investigation of the temporal organisation of coarticulation and assimilation) is presented. Two issues are examined, extrinsic vs intrinsic production of assimilation and feature spreading vs. coproduction. The articulator

The “neurotrophic hypothesis of depression” posits that low levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are associated with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Low levels of BDNF have also been found in individuals with suicide attempts, in MDD or other disorders, suggesting that low BDNF may also be associated with suicidality. We assessed serum BDNF in 68 physically healthy and unmedicated (

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the narrative tools in the modern Arabic poetry and take Al-baradony poetry as a model because it is a fertile field for academic studies and is as diverse as the curriculum to be studied by way of applications It has been studied in some respects and is still under taken for reasons. This study tries to examine the phenomenon of narrative style Al-b

Objective: Antimuscarinic treatment in fasted mice and rats causes clonic convulsion soon after food intake. This study was designed to evaluate the electrophysiological markers of these convulsions and fasting in electrocorticograms in rats. Methods: Male Wistar albino rats were stereotaxically implanted with 10 cortical electrodes, and baseline electroencephalogram recordings were taken for 10 m

The legal empowerment approach is a recent attempt to be specific about the role of institutions for the eradication of poverty. This is a broad concept that includes not only the national formal judicial system in a country, but all formal and informal institutional structures providing the rules of the game of human interaction in any given society. The approach has invited a lot of debate as to

Publicerade våldtäktsanklagelser på sociala medier och ett icke-involverat rättsväsende blev karaktäriserande fenomen för Me Too-Rörelsen. Exemplifierat genom två huvudexempel hävdas avsaknaden av judiciell inblandning innebära ett ifrågasättande av antagandet att lagen styr staten, vilket i förlängningen argumenteras utgöra avsteg från Rättsstatsprincipen. Rättsstatsprincipen framhålls som grundPublishing rape allegations on social media whilst not involving the administration of justice became a significant phenomenon in the wake of the Me Too-Movement. Exemplified through two prime examples, the judicial un-involvement, arguably a questioning of the assumption that the law is the powerholder in the state, will be claimed to have been a departure from the concept of the Rule of Law. T

This thesis is about traditional and modern architecture in Casablanca, Morocco. Morocco is located in north-western Africa and Casablanca is the country's largest city with a population of 3.3 million (2011). Morocco has a long history with many different rulers which have left its mark on the country's architecture. The old, traditional architecture of Casablanca is in the old medina, Me

Denna uppsats har undersökt ’rätten att bli glömd’, dvs. fysiska personers rättighet att be en operatör till en sökmotor att inte visa sökträffar som innehåller personuppgifter på sin resultatlista efter en sökning på personens namn. Rätten att bli bortglömd är en relativt ny grundläggande rättighet i EU-rätten, då den först etablerades den 13e Maj 2014 i målet C-131/12 Google Spain, och blev sedaThis thesis has examined the right to be forgotten; the right to have personal data erased from the search index of a search engine operator so that it is not displayed following a search on the basis of a data subject’s name. The right is fairly new, as it was first established in Case C-131/12 Google Spain on 13 May 2014 and was subsequently codified in Article 17 and 21 of the General Data Prot

Abstract in English The purpose of this study is to compare the story about Emil i Lönneberga by Astrid Lindgren with the translation Miguel el travieso by Marina Escanilla. The story chosen contains a lot of cultural elements, which appear difficult to translate. The intention is to show that, when translating cultural words, the essential culture of Småland, and the antique and rural of the époq

This essay presents an intertextual analysis of three short stories by Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges; “The Garden of Forking Paths” (1941), “The South” (1944), and “The End” (1944). The analysis explores the possibility of using the philosophical ideas concerning bifurcations in time as presented in “ The Garden of Forking Paths” to reinterpret the other two short stories, given that these

War has for a long time been fought at the expense of civilians. Depleted uranium has been one such object used in war that in the end would leave its mark on the civilian population and still today is the subject of discussions regarding its use. By using just war theory I will evaluate the American and British use of depleted uranium against the civilian populations of Iraq and former Yugoslavia

Antalet barnvräkningar har ökat stadigt år för år i Sverige. Detta trots att den svenska regeringen sedan långt tillbaka fastslagit en “nollvision” mot vräkningar av barn. FN:s barnrättskommitté har vid flertalet tillfällen rekommenderat Sverige att agera för att bättre följa sina internationella konventionsåtaganden, men de senaste åren av reformer och utredningar har inte haft någon effekt på anDespite efforts to turn the trend, the number of evictions of children have not decreased in Sweden. In fact, the number has steadily increased, despite the Swedish governments ”zero-vision” on child evictions. The CRC has on several occasions recommended Sweden to better conform with international law, but no clear improvement has been seen. This thesis investigates if the Swedish government has

Den här studien handlar om körsång och dess potentiella påverkan på människor. Syftet är att ta reda på om – och hur körsångarna i Sinnesrokören upplever att körsången påverkar dem och vilka faktorer det är som gör att de i sådana fall påverkas. Körledarens drivkrafter och mål och hur dessa visar sig i praktiken undersöks också.

Vessel-source pollution is regarded as one of the major sources that harm marine environment. It has become an issue of public concern since 20th century due to a series of oil pollution incidents on the sea. Fortunately, international law has been developed to control this source of pollution taking consideration of the importance of protection and preservation of marine environment and sustainab

This thesis examines if the investment strategy “Puppies of the Dow” is a working strategy applied to a European market setting during the years 2001-2010. The purpose was to determine whether the strategy could be successfully replicated in a different market with conditions differing from the once underlying the Dow Jones Industrial Average that the investment strategy originates from.
