The financial crisis of 2008 resulted, among other, on a popular awareness that the monetary system was not working for the interest of the many. The blockchain technology that was launched soon after offered monetary activists and entrepreneurs a tool to re-imagine, re-claim and re-organize money along a vague ideal of a commons paradigm. A wave of monetary experimentation ensued that took a most

In this work, an automated downstream process for the purification and formulation of a recombinant protein was integrated at lab scale in a single chromatography unit. The purification chain consists of three bind-and-elute chromatography columns, a flow-through membrane chromatography step, and a final ultrafiltration-diafiltration (UFDF) step to concentrate and formulate the sample. An integrat

In this work, we investigate properties of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) that escape from star clusters due to dynamical interactions. The studied models were simulated as part of the preliminary second survey carried out using the MOCCA code (MOCCA-SURVEY Database II), which is based on the Monte Carlo N-body method and does not include gravitational wave recoil kick prescriptions of

INTRODUCTION: This article draws on understandings from reproductive justice, crip and queer theories to discuss gonadectomy for children and young people with gonadal variations. Gonadectomy is sometimes performed on people with gonadal variations without their free and informed consent. Some parents report experiencing pressure to consent to such surgery when their children are young.

Context:: Software-intensive organizations’ rationale for sharing Open Source Software (OSS) may be driven by both idealistic, strategic and commercial objectives, and include both monetary as well as non-monetary benefits. To gain the potential benefits, an organization may need to consider what they share and how, while taking into account risks, costs and other complexities. Objective:: This st

osämjans värde - en studie av vad staden vill och en förhoppning om vad den skulle kunna vara I underrubriken tillskriver jag staden som enhet en förmåga att önska, att vara bärare av drift och begär. I och med det ges den en roll som subjekt i relation till sina invånare. I det här arbetet diskuterar jag vad stadens samlade funktion skapar för drivkrafter.

Idrottens skiljedomstol inrättades på 1980-talet efter en ökad efterfrågan på ett domstolsorgan som kunde döma i samtliga idrottsrelaterade tvister. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) blev produkten och har sedan dess begynnelse dömt i ett stort antal tvister inom idrottsvärlden. Den här uppsatsen syftar till att redogöra för hur CAS verksamhet fungerar samt utreda huruvida processen införThe Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) was established in the 1980s following an increased demand for an arbitration tribunal to handle all sports-related disputes. The Court of Arbitration for Sport was introduced and has since its inception delivered a large number of decisions within the world of sports. The subject of the paper is to describe how CAS operates as an institution and analyze w

På grund av ökat miljö- och klimatmedvetande har det under senaste tiden lagts stor kraft på forskning och utvecklingen av byggnaders miljöpåverkan. Betong där för stora andelar av koldioxidutsläppen och för att kunna minska betongmängden som används krävs mer arbete kring optimering av konstruktionsdelar med hänsyn till klimatavtrycket. Forskningen kring klimatoptimering av både husstommar och bjDue to increased environmental and climate awareness, great emphasis has been placed on both research and development of environmental impact of buildings. Scientific research on climate optimization of both structural frames and floors is well developed. However, equally large environmental improvements have not yet been made for foundations of large buildings. There are still no obvious alternat

Core Issue: Developing and maintaining industrial automation systems requires a lot of coordination of programming code. To support this task a configuration management system can be used but many companies of today find it hard to select a system that suites them best. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to examine various configuration management systems and evaluate them according to the nee

Studiens syfte var att undersöka psykoterapeuters socialiseringsprocesser, såsom dessa processer upplevdes av psykoterapeuterna 1,5 år efter avslutad utbildning. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fem psykoterapeuter. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), vilket gav fyra huvudteman: Önskan att förbättra sin nuvarande praktik, Att möta psykoteThe aim of the study was to investigate the socialization processes of psychotherapists, as those processes were experienced by the psychotherapists themselves 1,5 years after finishing their training. The material was gathered using semi-structured interviews and then analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) which generated four main themes: The wish to improve one's curr

In recent years cars are becoming more and more connected and it has become commonplace to connect one’s phone to the car interface, allowing streaming of music, making calls and sending messages. The primary technology used for connection is Bluetooth, a short-ranged wireless communication technology that has been around since 1999 and improved and expanded upon ever since. It is of vital importa

Abstract Zoos have been gaining increased popularity from tourists in recent years, as many people feel distant from wildlife and thus are eager to experience closeness with animals. The aim of this paper is to analyse tourist experiences of modern zoo tourism and the research question asked is “What types of tourist experiences are tourists gaining when visiting a modern zoo?” To achieve this ai

Ett avgörande om vårdnad, boende och/eller umgänge som inte följts kan verkställas enligt 21 kap. föräldrabalk (FB), förutsatt att det inte är oförenligt med barnets bästa. I sådant fall kan beslutet förenas med tvångsmedel i form av vitesföreläggande eller polishämtning. En ansökan om verkställighet ska avslås om det finns en risk att barnet far illa eller om barnet motsätter sig verkställighet oA decision on custody, resident and/or visitation that has not been followed can be enforced in accordance with Chapter 21 in the Children and Parent Code (föräldrabalk (1949:381)), provided it is not incompatible with the best interests of the child. In such a case, the decision can be combined with coercive measures in the form of an imposition of a conational fine or police retrieval. An applic

Mitochondrial damage and dysfunction are associated with the aging process, and can be attributed to mutations in both nuclear and mitochondrial genes involved in cellular respiration. Mitochondrial DNA is particularly prone to damage due to its proximity to reactive oxygen species in the mitochondrial matrix. With the current advances in gene therapy studies for both inherited and acquired diseas
