It is in political scientific theory commonly understood that the politics of microstates are defined by a lack of ideological plurality and strong public consensuses. This study aims to investigate whether such characteristics may contribute to the emergence of party systems that hinder the full democratization of countries. The study has been conducted as a multiple-case study including the prin
Chemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added products is an attractive industrial process because it offers several economic and environmental advantages. This review presents advances and challenges in the CO2 and propylene oxide (PO) co-polymerization using heterogeneous catalysts to form poly (propylene carbonate) (PPC), an environmentally friendly polymer with several applicati
New garden cultivars are constantly being developed and old ones disappear. In order to preserve older cultivars for the future, the Swedish Programme for Diversity of Cultivated PLants (POM) started in 2002, and the National Gene Bank in Alnarp opened in 2016. In Alnarp, older cultivars grow in large fields.As a back up to the living plant collections, there are local clone archives all around Sw

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, and are collectively referred to as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is a major cause of lifetime morbidity, has a severe impact on quality of life of patients (equivalent to that of rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, migraine, or diabetes) and constitutes a substantial economic burden to the h
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det ljus som vi vanligen ser, har spritts av objekten i vår omgivning. Ett annat ljusfenomen är fluorescens, som kan användas inom olika områden för analys av prover. Olika substanser ger skilda fluorescensprofiler. Om dessa inte helt överlappar varandra kan substanserna särskiljas. Områden, där ljusdiagnostik har använts inom ramen för detta arbete, är kemisk analys, m
This article is based on the Agent-action-Objective (AaO) axiom and assumes that intention can be discovered and made evident. But this requirement can be satisfied only under the condition that a particular individual can be identified with his style of writing. This implies that the nature of writing becomes approachable. Getting a style under control presupposes the A-component, which is discus
The exploding progress in genomic technology and knowledge now opens the possibility to actually identify the molecular mechanisms in disease. However, inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple sclerosis (MS), are complex and polygenic and remain a challenge. One possible shortcut could be the use of inbred animals as models for RA and MS for the genetic analysis. These
The importance of the historical contacts between mainland Finland and the island of Gotland has long been overlooked. The purpose of this analysis is therefore to focus on the contacts between these two areas during a period when cultural and material exchange was of utmost importance, the Viking Age. A common jewellery type used by the Finnish women during the whole Viking Age period were the c
Although the yeast Candida glabrata is considered to be a part of the commensal microflora in healthy individuals, during the last years it has been frequently isolated from patients with mucosal and systemic fungal infections. Now it is considered as the second most frequently isolated pathogenic yeast after Candida albicans. Despite its name, C. glabrata is phylogenetically a closer relative to
The so called Collectio Scorialensis parva is an unedited alphabetical collection of stories about Egypti an desert fathers. It is found in two Greek MSS: Scorialensis R.II.1 and Parisinus gr. 919. They also contain a larger collection of the Apophthegmata Patrum, the so called alphabetica - anonyma derivata. Other manuscripts preserve this latter collection in a later stage, where all or parts of
The ATLAS Inner Detector is a composite tracking system consisting of silicon pixels, silicon strips and straw tubes in a 2 T magnetic field. Its installation was completed in August 2008 and the detector took part in data-taking with single LHC beams and cosmic rays. The initial detector operation, hardware commissioning and in-situ calibrations are described. Tracking performance has been measur
