When initiating the research for my graduate paper I had a rather straightforward intent in mind. It was to determine if the research being conducted in the bio-health related field was negatively affected by the patent system. If the research was delayed by the patent system I wanted to apprehend why. I came to the conclusion that over the years the sphere where the exchange of intellectual prope
When new technologies for the health care sector are developed, it is of outmost importance to increase the possibilities of survival and remain high quality of life for patients. During the conception and design of such technologies, the problem to solve and the possible solutions to achieve have to be well understood and the scope has to be defined. For the particular case of the project LISA, t
The main purpose of the project has been to find the root cause to the failure of a machine component used to secure some vital parts (later on referred to as the pins) of a packing machine. It was already known that the failure had to do with fatigue, but the actual mechanisms were quite unknown. Measurements on the components did not indicate forces that should lead to failure. The components of
I dagens informationssamhälle vill medborgarna kunna ta del av så mycket information som möjligt, varför visselblåsning har blivit ett mycket uppmärksammat ämne. Visselblåsare utgör ett viktigt kontrollmoment i samhället som historiskt sett avslöjat uppgifter och skandaler av stort allmänintresse. Denna framställning syftar i en första del till att i ett rättsutvecklingsperspektiv redogöra för de In the age of information people want to get hold of as much information as possible, which is probably why whistleblowing has become such a hot topic. Whistleblowers constitute an important body of control in society which historically has revealed information and scandals of great public interest. The aim of this essay is two-folded. First off the aim is to in a perspective of legislative develo
Conclusions. The presented analysis of nasal polyposis using connectivity based on the PubGene literature co-citation network demonstrates that this tool can be used to identify key genes in DNA microarray studies of human polygenic diseases. Objectives. DNA microarray studies of complex diseases may reveal differential expression of hundreds of genes. According to network theory and studies of ye
Uppsatsen har genom en rättsdogmatisk metod undersökt domstolens bedömning av putativt nödvärn. Centrala kärnan i utredningen är om rättssäkerheten kan anses vara uppfylld vid en sådan bedömning. En otillåten handling som förövas med uppsåt ska i regel föranleda straffansvar, däremot föreligger inga regler utan undantag. En person som upplever en annan verklighetsuppfattning än den objektivt rådaThis paper is, using a legal dogmatic method, analysing the Court’s assessment of putative self-defence. The key question is whether the legal certainty can be regarded as fulfilled in such an assessment. An unauthorized act that is perpetrated with intent shall, as a rule, cause criminal liability, but there are exceptions to all rules. A person who perceives a different view of reality than th
Distinktionsprincipen är en av de mest fundamentala principerna i internationell humanitär rätt. Distinktionsprincipen grundades i St. Petersburgdeklarationen från 1868 och syftade till att minska det dödliga våldet mot civila i väpnade konflikter. Principen är nu kodifierad i artikel 48, 51(2) och 52(2) i det första tilläggsprotokollet till Genevekonventionen. Det är lättast att utläsa principen The principle of distinction is one of the cardinal principles of international humanitarian law. The principle of distinction originated in the St. Petersburg Declaration in 1868, aiming to limit the civilian casualties in warfare. The principle is now codified in article 48, 51(2), 52(2) of the 1977 Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Convention. The principle is most prominent in article 48. Th
This essay has investigated immigrants and Swedes with foreign background’s perception of cultural heritage as it has been specified by UNESCO. The approach to focus on this particular sample population was born out of the realisation that the EU, nationalist parties and far - right extremists all point to a common her itage. What has not been studied however is the effect of immigration on nation
Mouse apolipoprotein M (m-apoM) displays a 79% sequence identity to human apolipoprotein M (h-apoM). Both proteins are apolipoproteins associated with high-density lipoproteins, with similar anticipated biological functions. The structure of h-apoM has recently been determined by X-ray crystallography, which revealed that h-apoM displays, as expected, a lipocalin-like fold characterized by an eigh
Objective: To assess the quality of reporting in observational studies in dermatology. Data Sources: Five dermatology journals-the Archives of Dermatology, the British Journal of Dermatology, the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, and Acta Dermato-Venereologica. Study Selection: Cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies published as or
Five different low-Mach large eddy simulations are compared to the turbulent stratified flame experiments conducted at the Technical University of Darmstadt (TUD). The simulations were contributed by TUD, the Institute for Combustion Technology (ITV) at Aachen, Lund University (LUND), the EM2C laboratory at Ecole Centrale Paris, and the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE). Combustion is modeled by
Enligt flyktingkonventionen har inte alla flyktingar rätt till flyktingstatus. Palestinska flyktingar, som åtnjuter skydd eller bistånd från UNRWA, hör till de som exkluderas från konventionens tillämpningsområde. Intentionen med artikel 1 D var inte att dem inte förtjänar samma skydd som andra flyktingar – tvärtom infördes bestämmelsen för att garantera palestinska flyktingar ett kontinuerligt skAccording to the Refugee Convention, not all refugees have the right to a refugee status. Palestinian refugees, who enjoy protection or assistance from UNRWA, are among those excluded from the scope of the Convention. The intention of Article 1 D, which was formulated in the travaux préparatoires to the Convention, was not to provide them of a lower level of protection than other refugees - on the

To enhance their applicability in a broader range of pervaporation feed streams, poly[1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-propyne] (PTMSP) membranes have been successfully crosslinked, using a 3,3'-diazido-diphenylsulfone crosslinker. Both photochemical and thermal processes were used to activate the bis(azide) and thus initiate the crosslink reaction. The presented photochemical crosslink process, has an insuff
Context: Due to the complexity and challenging nature of radical prostatectomy (RP), it is likely that both short-and long-term outcomes strongly depend on the cumulative number of cases performed by the surgeon as well as by the hospital. Objective: To review systematically the association between hospital and surgeon volume and perioperative, oncologic, and functional outcomes after RP. Evidence
To identify weather controls of beech diameter growth and masting in southern Sweden, we analyze records of monthly weather, regional masting record, and tree-ring chronologies from five beech-dominated stands. The results indicate a strong weather control of temporal pattern of masting events in southern Sweden over the second half of the 20th century. Negative summer temperature anomaly 2 years
BACKGROUND: It is well known that low platelet count on admission to intensive care units (ICU) is associated with increased mortality. However, it is unknown whether prothrombin time (PT-INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) on admission correlate with mortality and organ failure. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate if PT-INR and APTT at admission can predict outco
Since 2018, the Swedish housing market has exhibited a paradoxical development in which a persistent housing shortage coexists with increasing vacancies. The simultaneous progression of these seemingly anti-correlated trends raises important questions regarding the functioning of the residential real estate sector. This thesis examines why the residential Swedish rental market continues to produce
