BACKGROUND: Cell membrane interactions rely on lipid bilayer constituents and molecules inserted within the membrane, including specific receptors. HAMLET (human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells) is a tumoricidal complex of partially unfolded alpha-lactalbumin (HLA) and oleic acid that is internalized by tumor cells, suggesting that interactions with the phospholipid bilayer and/or spe

Att arbetsmarknaden är i ständig förändring råder det ingen tvekan om. Produktionen av både tjänster och varor efterfrågar nya former för förvärvande av arbetsprestationer. Mer eller mindre nya grepp inom företagsvärlden som till exempel utkontraktering och projektanställningar vittnar om detta. Förändringarna gör att gränsdragningen mellan att vara arbetstagare och uppdragstagare inte kan förväntThe labour market is constantly changing. The production of both services and goods are now acquiring labour in new forms. More or less new tendencies in business management such as outsourcing and project assignments are realities today. These changes add complexity to the process of defining whether a person, the work performing part, is to be considered as employed by the principal or as an ent

The glaciotectonic architecture and structural evolution of a fine-grained end moraine formed by the 1890 glacier surge of Bruarjokull is described from four excavated cross-sections. The end moraine ridge is a morphological expression of a marginal sedimentary wedge formed during the last days of the surge. The actual end-moraine ridge was formed on the last day of the 1890 surge when the glacier

The Dominican Republic is a small open economy, highly dependent on trade for its economic growth. During the past decades, the country has taken major steps to liberalize its trade regimes. As a consequence revenues from import duties and tariffs have fallen sharply. This has put an immediate pressure on the country to reform its tax system in order to increase revenue from domestic sources to co

Skogarna på den norra hemisfären har en betydande roll i den globala kolbalansen på grund av deras förmåga att agera som kolkälla. En annan aspekt som gör de intressanta är deras känslighet för tänkbara kommande klimatförändringar där en möjlig följd är ökad störningsfrekvens. Störningar (som bland annat innefattar storm, insektsangrepp och brand) påverkar skogens kolbalans genom att minska upptagOn the night between the 8th and 9th of January 2005 one of the worst wind storms Sweden has experienced took place. The storm caused damage to 270 000 ha of forest and 75 · 106 m3 wood. Due to the great areas affected, this event has a significant effect on the forest carbon balance. The aim of this study includes determining the usefulness of MODIS (moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer)

Following the successful first Urban Sound Symposium held at Ghent University in 2019, the second edition in 2021 had to face the challenges of the pandemic. The symposium turned this challenge into an opportunity for giving easier access to practitioners and experts from around the globe who are confronted with urban sound in their professional activities. It was organized simultaneously in Ghent

Internal crisis communication has long been undervalued compared to external communication, both in research and practice. Traditionally treated as a secondary, information‑driven activity, it is now gaining increased attention. Effective internal crisis communication is crucial not only for managing crises, but also for preventing secondary communication crises, supporting organizational learning

El Sistema, the originally Venezuelan music teaching movement is spreading worldwide, suggesting Western classical music as a tool for counteracting poverty and segregation. In Sweden, this represents an interesting and perhaps pro- voking twist, as the hegemony of classical music in music teacher education has since long been replaced by the hegemony of popular music. Based on eldwork during the

What is the relationship between identity, representation and memory in contemporary performance practices? Does memory function as a basic tool in artist’s work or can it also be regarded as a hindrance?In current performance art, identity is often defined as an accumulation of one’s embodied experience and memory. The artist’s body can be seen as an archive which is re-enacted in the encounter w

Many innovations arise spontaneously as a result of the market mechanism and the actions of capitalist firms, but some, especially the more radical ones, require public intervention. The first part of this chapter discusses when such policy interventions might be necessary and why. The next section discusses selectivity in innovation policy. The last (main) section of the chapter discusses the gen

Many people use conspiracy theories to make sense of a changing world and its ever more complexif social structures (e.g., international financial systems, global bodies of governance), tragic events (e.g., terrorist attacks, man-made catastrophes, or natural disasters), or socio-political and economic issues (e.g., security, migration, distribution of resources, health care).
