Abstracts The 5th meeting of the Nordic Network in Metaphysics 12-13 November 2021, Lund In alphabetic order: • Åsa Burman (Stockholm University): A Taxonomy of Social Facts How many types of social facts are there? The purpose of this talk is to develop a taxonomy of social facts to answer that question. I start by giving a more comprehensive account of social power, the power view, than has hith

Being acquainted with four of the most famous games in game theory, we will learn that players often are better paid off cooperating with each other, but that the structure of the game forces them to defect from cooperation. Only when confronted with the zero-sum game the players have no incentive to cooperate. In all the other games, cooperation is secured if the players commit themselves to adop

Vid den asylrättsliga prövningen har den sökande bevisbördan för att de faktiska omständigheter som krävs för att få uppehållstillstånd också föreligger. I fråga om flyktingstatus ska den enskilde härmed kunna bevisa att den vid ett återvändande riskerar förföljelse. Inom denna prövning faller även att den sökande ska göra sin tillhörighet till en viss flyktinggrund sannolik. En av dessa grunder äIn refugee claims, it is the applicant who has the burden of establishing the veracity of his or her allegations and the accuracy of the facts on which the refugee claim is based. To successfully establish a claim, the individual must show that he or she is at risk of facing persecution. As part of this process, the applicant must also successfully prove that this persecution is based on a convent

Background and objective. Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG), a key intermediate in Krebs cycle, is an important biological compound involved in the formation of amino acids, nitrogen transport, and oxidation reactions. AKG is already commercially available as a dietary supplement and its supplementation with glutamine, arginine, or ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate has been recently considered to improve anti

In contrast to acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children, adult cases of this disease are associated with a very poor prognosis. In order to ascertain whether the frequencies and patterns of submicroscopic changes, identifiable with single nucleotide polymorphism array analysis, differ between childhood and adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia, we performed single nucleotide polymorphism array analys

Popular Abstract in Swedish Personer som drabbas av hjärtstopp riskerar grava hjärnskador p.g.a. brist på blodflöde till hjärnan. Patienterna blir ofta långvarigt medvetslösa och vårdas på intensiv¬vårdsavdelning i respirator. Risken för hjärnskada kan minskas med kyl¬behandling. Under kylbehandlingen, cirka 1.5 dygn, får patienten sederande och ev. muskelavslappnande medicin för att minska ”huttrAbstract Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the only treatment available to reduce neurological sequels for unconscious patients following cardiac arrest (CA). TH requires sedation and muscular relaxation, obscuring the clinical neurological examination for estimation of prognosis, and clinical decision making. Continuous amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) has been used to predict outcome in neonates

One of the major symptoms of the neurodegenerative condition Parkinson's disease (PD) is a slowness or loss of voluntary movement, yet frustratingly therapeutic strategies designed to restore movement can result in the development of excessive abnormal movements known as dyskinesia. These dyskinesias commonly develop as a result of pharmacotherapy in the form of L-DOPA administration, but have als

More and more corporations around the world is starting to work in project form and leaving their traditional function based way of organising themselves behind. This leads to new ways of driving and implementing changes and improvements. It requires another approach and this approach has to deal with the individual employee in a greater extend. Alfa Laval often questions how to make a project to

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund En till fem procent av de patienter som genomgår öppen hjärtkirurgi får en efterföljande infektion i operationssåret och bröstbenet. Infektionen kan leda till allvarliga komplikationer såsom blodförgiftning, organsvikt och i värsta fall till att patienten avlider. De traditionella metoder som används för att behandla den här typen av infektion har visat sig ha

This thesis has investigated the potential of combining Raman spectroscopy with Sheimpflug Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) for simultaneous characterization and ranging of aerosolized soot. The first part of the project involved the implementation of conventional non-ranging Raman spectroscopy for both deposited and aerosolized soot. The second part constituted the design, modelling, and evalu

Fientliga cyberoperationer ökar och staters kritiska nationella infrastrukturer står inför hotet att bli måltavlor eftersom de i större utsträckning är beroende av datanätverk. Cybersfären benämns ständigt som den ’vilda västern’ vilket antyder att det tillämpade internationella rättsliga ramverket är otillräckligt. Den internationella rätten som föreskriver jus ad bellum och dess tillämplighet påHostile cyber operations are on the rise and states’ critical national infrastructures are facing the threat of being targeted as they become more dependent on computer networks. Cyberspace is persistently referred to as the ‘wild West’ implicating that the applied international legal framework is insufficient. The international law stipulating jus ad bellum and its applicability to cyber operatio

Permafrost regions cover approximately a quarter of the Northern Hemisphere and thawing has been recorded in many different locations. The thawing process is likely to continue given that the Northern Latitudes will experience increased warming, which is known as the Arctic Amplification Factor. Changes in permafrost regions can cause changes in hydrology, biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems. Fur

This thesis covers established procedures for the successful and attempted immobilization of lipases and phospholipases to various hydrophobic support materials, utilizing a rotating bed reactor, magnetic stirrer and tube-rotator. The design of a robust platform was established with great instrumental knowledge and proper conditioning for the creation of efficient immobilizations and activity assa

The inflammation of the lungs in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by increased numbers of macrophages, neutrophils and T-cells. Decline in lung function in these patients has been correlated to the number of CD8+ T-cells present in the lung as well as to a decline in the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ T-cells. Although systemic components are likely to be present, circulating lymp
