This article deals with Gunnar Rosendal within church politics in a European perspective. The term church politics is here used in a broad sense, referring to the church’s management of internal problems and conflicts as well as the political strategies of the church in its relation to state and society. In my study I focus on three fields that in various ways got church political consequences o

Modern radiotherapy aims to treat the decease while minimizing the radiation dose to the adjacent normal tissue, to minimize acute and late effects of the treatment. The foremost technological approaches have been intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) in combination with image guided radiotherapy (IGRT). IMRT and IMPT is characterized by a more confo

This article discusses the role of the protein corona in delivery systems with tagged nanoparticles and how knowledge of the protein corona can help in optimizing delivery. The basic question is whether and how the binding of proteins and other biomolecules at the nanoparticle surface interfere with the interaction between a tag and its receptor. This is an interesting problem in many respects, bu

We currently use Convection-Enhanced Delivery (CED) of the platinum-based drug, carboplatin as a novel treatment strategy for high grade glioblastoma in adults and children. Although initial results show promise, carboplatin is not specifically toxic to tumour cells and has been associated with neurotoxicity at high infused concentrations in pre-clinical studies. Our treatment strategy requires in

Encapsulation in self-assembled lipid structures has been shown to increase the stability of large biomolecules, including proteins and nucleic acids (NAs), which has many potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In order to fully optimise the encapsulation system for a certain application, however, it is important to understand the effect of the encapsulated biomolecule o

We use the inverse scattering transform to show that a solution of the Camassa-Holm equation is identically zero whenever it vanishes on two horizontal half-lines in the x-t space. In particular, a solution that has compact support at two different times vanishes everywhere, proving that the Carnassa-Holm equation has infinite propagation speed. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.

In fire safety engineering, information about the expected walking speed of occupants through smoke is one factor that is of great interest to the designer. However, despite the fact that research already in the 1970s demonstrated that people tend to evacuate through smoke, little research has been performed on the topic, and evidently there is a lack of data on walking speed in smoke. This has cr

The relationship between a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and a government can be unpredictable, which could complicate the NGO’s operations in a resource dependent environment. If a government decides to abruptly cut its official development assistance allocation towards the civil society; does that not only reflect the government’s new development policy but it might also jeopardize the con

Ambitions and ClarificationsThe book takes its point of departure in the "intimate visions of society" that are significant of contemporary social life. This concept refers to the tendency to apprehend good social relations as personal, close and warm, while bad relations correspondingly are perceived as impersonal, cold, distant and alienated. Exemplary categories, such as closeness, warmth, commAmbitions and ClarificationsThe book takes its point of departure in the "intimate visions of society" that are significant of contemporary social life.

Uppsatsen har undersökt huruvida spelföretaget Star Stable Entertainment AB marknadsföring av virtuella valutor och produkter till barn bryter mot EU:s konsumentskyddslagstiftning i ljuset av Sveriges Konsumenters anmälan mot företaget. Uppsatsen har även diskuterat om direktivet om otillbörliga affärs-metoder är anpassat för den digitala miljön med hänsyn till kommissionens aktuella fitness checkThe essay analyses whether the gaming company Star Stable Entertainment AB´s marketing of virtual currencies and other virtual products against chil-dren violates EU consumer law, considering the Swedish Consumers Associ-ation’s complaint against the company. The paper also discusses whether the Unfair Commercial Practice Directive (UCPD) is fit for the digital environ-ment, given the European Com

We empirically analyze whether support by the parent organization in the early (nascent and seed) stage speeds up the process of commercialization and helps spin-offs from public research organizations generate first revenues sooner. To identify the impact of support by the parent organization, we apply multivariate regression techniques as well as an instrumental variable approach. Our results sh

This article is based on the creation of sports heritage as having strong roots in the Anthropocene. It particularly discusses listed building declarations of the built heritage of sport, from a Swedish perspective, as well as the feelings of nostalgia associated with such activities. Two contemporary examples of preserved sports heritage sites, Hindås Ski Jumping Hill in Hindås and the stand at V
