Cryogenic land surface processes (CLSPs), such as cryoturbation, are currently active in landscapes covering 25% of our planet where they dictate key functions, such as carbon (C) cycling, and maintain patterned landscape features. While CLSPs are expected to diminish in the near future due to milder winters especially in the southern parts of the Arctic, the shifts in C cycling in these landscape

“Seeding” is the addition of preformed fibrils to a solution of monomeric protein to accelerate its aggregation into new fibrils. It is a versatile and widely used tool for scientists studying protein aggregation kinetics, as it enables the isolation and separate study of discrete reaction steps contributing to protein aggregation, specifically elongation and secondary nucleation. However, the see

During the last two decades our understanding of human B cell differentiation has developed considerably. Our understanding of the human B cell compartment has advanced from a point where essentially all assays were based on the presence or not of class-switched antibodies to a level where a substantial diversity is appreciated among the cells involved. Several consecutive transitional stages that

There is currently intensive research on the development of biobased polymers as potential alternatives to the environmentally hazardous isocyanate-based polyurethanes. In this context, polythioureas (PTUs) form a particularly attractive target because they can be synthesized by using isothiocyanates, a class of molecules that can be found in nature with expected low toxicity. Herein, a serie

This paper makes use of nearly 25,000 observations representing over 95,000 paid workdays across over 300 years to investigate individual work patterns, work availability, and the changes in work seasonality over time. This sample is comprised of workers in the construction industry, and includes unskilled men and women as well as skilled building craftsmen – the industry which is often used to es

In this contribution, we propose a model of Quaternary seismicity in the Outer Western Carpathians. The model presents results of analysis of fractured clasts performed in 268 exposures of Quaternary fluvial gravels within the ca. 5,000 km2 large segment of the Outer Western Carpathians comprising: Outer Carpathian nappes, the innermost part of the Carpathian Foredeep, and two intramontane basins

Tre av WSP Sverige AB genomförda geotekniska undersökningar har studerats. Samtliga är lokaliserade i Skåne. Projekten har valts i syfte att skapa en övergripande förståelse för hur geologin i Skåne påver-kar geoteknikers metodval och arbetssätt i förhållande till aktuell konstruktion. Geologin i Skåne skiljer sig från övriga Sveriges. Bergrunden är i nordvästra Skåne kristallin och i sydvästra Sk

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur synen på en lämplig förälder och föräldrarnas kön framställs och påverkar vid vårdnadstvister samt hur det står i relation till principen om barnets bästa. Det har gjorts genom att analysera, undersöka och diskutera hur föräldrarna beskrivits av socialnämnder och i domar. I uppsatsen har en rättsdogmatisk och en diskursanalytisk metod använts. IThe purpose of this essay is to examine how the issue of a suitable parent and the sex of the parent is described and influences in custody battles and how this relates to the principle of what is best for the child. This has been done by analyzing, examining and discussing how the parents are described by social services and courts. In the essay a classic legal method and a discourse analysis hav
