Histamine is known to be present in ovarian tissue and may play a role in the ovulation process. The effect of histamine on the follicular smooth musculature was investigated using strips from the protruding part of mature bovine follicles, mounted in vitro for registration of isometric motor activity. Histamine contracted the preparation in a concentration-dependent manner. The response was inhib
Background: The Tau PET ligand 18F-AV1451 has been shown to reliably detect paired helical filaments of tau in Alzheimer's disease, but it is not yet known whether it binds to the tau aggregates present in patients with mutations in the gene (MAPT) coding for the tau protein. Further, no study has yet compared the cerebral retention of 18F -AV1451 with the tau aggregates revealed using neuropathol
Softwood bark contains a large amounts of extractives—i.e., soluble lipophilic (such as resin acids) and hydrophilic components (phenolic compounds, stilbenes). The effects of the partial removal of water-soluble extractives before acid-catalyzed steam pretreatment on enzymatic digestibility were assessed for two softwood barks—Norway spruce and Scots pine. A simple hot water extraction step remov
Speed and accuracy are crucial prerequisites in the application of proteomic methods to clinical medicine. We describe a microfluidic-based nanovial array for rapid proteolytic processing linked to MALDI-TOF MS. This microscale format consumes only minute amounts of sample, and it is compatible with rapid bioanalytical protocols and high-sensitivity readouts. Arrays of vials (300 mu m in diameter
In the bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials to ethanol, the cost of the raw material and the cost of the enzymes have been identified as the major costs for the product. In addition, many lignocellulosic materials contain considerable amounts of five-carbon sugars which are not easily fermented to ethanol. The possibility of improving the cost-intensive steps was investigated. The steam pre
In recent decades, information technology has enjoyed an ever-increasing degree of influence upon society. The use of technology has proliferated, bleeding into all human activities, and now extends into the most private activities of individuals. Unfortunately the perpetrators of serious crimes have not missed the revolution. Technology has marked off many working terrains including that of serio
Modern office buildings have high energy savings potential and potential for indoor climate improvements. During the nineties many office buildings with glass facades were built, in several cases with double skin glass facades. The advantages of buildings with double skin facades (compared with single skin glazed ones) are considered to be the reduced heating and cooling demand, the increased soun
The concentrations of cartilage proteoglycan (aggrecan), stromelysin-1, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) and procollagen II C-propeptide in knee joint fluid and the levels of aggrecan, hyaluronan and keratan sulfate in serum were measured before and after exercise in 33 healthy athletes. The samples before exercise were obtained after 24 h rest from running or soccer and the sampl
Thirty right-handed participants were presented with emotional pictures either to the left or to the right visual field. The pictures were shown for a duration of 150 ms to make sure that they were exclusively presented to one hemisphere only. Eye movements were recorded with electroocularogram for each participant throughout the test. A total of 30 pictures were chosen on the basis of their valen
Två grundläggande rättsgrundsatser inom civilprocessrätten är principen om jura novit curia och kontradiktionsprincipen. Jura novit curia innebär att domstolen känner lagen och att domstolen ska tillämpa den adekvata rättsregeln på tvisten, oavsett om parterna baserat sin talan på denna eller ej. Kontradiktionsprincipen, som både finns i intern svensk rätt och i EKMR, stadgar att ingen får dömas oTwo fundamental principles in the Swedish procedural code are the principle iura novit curia and the principle of an adversarial procedure. Iura novit curia means that the court knows the law and that the judge is responsible for the application of the relevant legal rules, whether the parties have based their pleadings on these or not. The principle of an adversarial procedure, which exists both

This thesis assess three different conditional variance models from the GARCH family - GARCH(1,1), EGARCH(1,1) and GJR-GARCH(1,1) - and their accuracy in making one-day forecasts together with Value at Risk. The study is made on the daily returns of the OMX Stockholm 30 index between 2002-01-01 and 2010- 12-31. A five year in-sample set was used to estimate the model parameters and to make one-day
En fjärdedel av de homosexuella, bisexuella och transpersoner som deltagit i en stor undersökning år 2013 hade blivit utsatta för hot och våld. Personerna utsätts bland annat för att de inte tillhör normen. Enligt straffskärpningsregeln i 29 kap. 2 § 7 p. BrB är det en försvårande omständighet vid bedömningen av straffvärdet om ett motiv för en brottslig gärning varit att kränka en person, folkgA quarter of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons participating in a survey in 2013 had been exposed to threat and violence. One of the reasons for them being targeted was that they do not conform to the norm. According to the penalty enhancement provision in Chapter 29, Section 2, Subsection 7 of the Swedish Penal Code if a motive for a crime is to aggrieve a person, ethnic group o
Införandet av ombud för barn i vårdnadstvister har varit omdiskuterat under en mycket lång tid. Frågan har diskuterats av sakkunniga, behandlats i flera utredningar samt varit föremål för flertalet riksdagsmotioner. Än har frågan inte resulterat i någon ny lagstiftning. Uppsatsens syfte är att, ur ett barnrättsperspektiv, utreda om ett införande av ombud för barn i vårdnadstvister kan stärka barThe question of whether a legal representative for children in custody disputes should be introduced in Swedish legislation has been discussed for a long time. Despite this, the discussions have not yet resulted in any legislation. The purpose of this essay is to, from a children’s rights perspective, investigate whether the legislation of representatives of children in custody disputes could st
I svensk straffprocessrätt har omedelbarhetsprincipen haft stor betydelse sedan rättegångsbalken infördes år 1948. Den innebär att domstolen bara ska döma över det som har framkommit under huvudförhandlingen. Domstolen har inte innan huvudförhandlingen läst polisens utredning, utan parter och vittnen ska komma till domstolen och lämna sin berättelse direkt inför rätten. Den 1 januari 2022 infördeIn Swedish criminal procedure law, the principle of immediateness has been of great significance since the code of judicial procedure came into effect in 1948. This implies that the court should only judge and present verdicts based on what has appeared during the main hearing. Hence, the court will not have read the pre-trial investigation before the main hearing. Instead, the implicated parties
Lojalitetsplikten i kommersiella avtalsförhållanden kan definieras som skyl-digheten för parterna i relationen att tillvarata motpartens intressen utöver sina egna. Lojalitetsplikten kan härledas långt tillbaka i historien men det är först under 1900-talets andra hälft som saker började hända och denna utveckling tog rejäl fart under de senaste ca 20 åren. Lojal samverkan mellan parterna står iblaThe principle of loyalty in commercial relations can be defined as an obliga-tion for the parties to safeguard the other party’s interests in addition to their own. The principle of loyalty can be derived far back in history, but it was only during the second half of the 20th century that things started to happen, and this progress took off in the last 20 or so years. Loyal collaboration be-tween
Uppsatsens övergripande syfte är att utreda såväl innebörden som omfattningen av Migrationsverkets och migrationsdomstolarnas utredningsansvar i asylärenden/ mål enligt 23 § FL respektive 8 § FPL.
