A 3m ground-based optical telescope, with active and adaptive optics, is a powerful and versatile research tool. This type of telescopes is affordable and manageable also for communities with limited previous telescope experience. While there are many scientific and technical reports regarding modern 3m class telescopes, there is no document giving a comprehensive description. This paper is an att
The present thesis deals with the unsatisfactory access of the blind and visually impaired persons to accessible copyrighted materials as part of the clash of human rights and intellectual property rights. Therefore, numerous human rights of these groups of people affected by the lack of access to copyrighted works are studied. Finally, the World intellectual Property Organisation Draft Treaty for
Calcium- and integrin-binding protein 1 (CIB1) is a ubiquitous, multifunctional regulatory protein consisting of four helix-loop-helix EF-hand motifs. Neither EF-I nor EF-II binds divalent metal ions; however, EF-III is a mixed Mg2+/Ca2+-binding site, and EF-IV is a higher-affinity Ca2+-specific site. Through the generation of several CIB1 mutant proteins, we have investigated the importance of th
The growth of a short edge crack, located within one grain in a bcc crystal and subjected to cyclic loading, is modelled using a dislocation formulation. The external boundary including the crack itself is built from dislocation dipole elements and the plasticity is represented by discrete dislocations moving along preferred slip planes. The crack propagates by single shear due to emission and ann
Analyzing genomic data across populations is central to understanding the role of genetic factors in health and disease. Successful data sharing relies on public support, which requires attention to whether people around the world are willing to donate their data that are then subsequently shared with others for research. However, studies of such public perceptions are geographically limited and d
Ulf Johansson Dahre Introduction The 4th annual Somalia International Rehabilitation Centre (SIRC) Conference of the Horn of Africa focused on “Good Governance and the Rule of law” as keys to peace, development and sustainable development. The conference was held in Lund, Sweden, October 14-16, 2005. The content of this volume reflects some of the views and proceedings presented at the conference
Creation and adoption of corporate policies requires significant commitment of scarce senior management resources. In the absence of processes and tools, convergence upon final policy and may not be achieved in a timely manner. Significant similarities between policy and requirements documents suggest that requirements engineering techniques could be used to generate policy. However, neither evide
The finite element method is used to analyze the stability of a cantilever column resting on elastic foundation and subjected to an eccentric slave load at its free end. The analysis has been conducted according to Bernoulli-Euler and Timoshenko beam theories. Effects of the mass offset, coupling effects and damping has been taken into account.
The aim of this article is to propose a method for creating a more coherent concept of norms – and to deliver a tentative and open suggestion on how to define norms in a way that might fit into the context of Sociology of Law (further on shortened, SoL). The idea is that the norm concept can be chiselled out through ontological analysis, and that this analysis can be conducted in a way that allow
This thesis covers the subject of delivery clauses in negotiable and non-negotiable Bills of Lading. The use of such clauses raises legal issues relating to transport law, letter of credit (L/C) law and sale's law. Legal issues involving different legal areas are often difficult to solve, since there are no clear-cut solutions. The document of title function, which is a fundamental quality of
OBJECTIVE: To explore how lifestyle and demographic, socioeconomic and disease-related factors are associated with supervised exercise adherence in an osteoarthritis (OA) management programme and their ability to explain exercise adherence.METHODS: A cohort register-based study on participants from the 'Swedish Osteoarthritis Registry' who attended the exercise part of a nationwide Swedish OA mana
The activation of G Protein-Coupled Receptor 56 (GPR56), also referred to as Adhesion G-Protein-Coupled Ceceptor G1 (ADGRG1), by Collagen Type III (Coll III) prompts cell growth, proliferation, and survival, among other attributes. We investigated the signaling cascades mediating this functional effect in relation to the mitochondrial outer membrane voltage-dependent anion Channel-1 (VDAC1) expres
Food security necessitates a multifaceted strategy, ranging from social protection to providing healthy food. Change in existing food systems is needed to create a more equitable and sustainable society. Hunger is one of the significant challenges in the world that arise due to food insecurity, bad quality, food waste, and losses that leads to damage of public health. The implementation of green f
INTRODUCTION: The risk for brain injury manifested as cerebral palsy is higher in very preterm born children than in term. Prenatal administration of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4 ) has been shown to be neuroprotective and reduces the proportion of very preterm born children later diagnosed with cerebral palsy. A Swedish national clinical practice guideline was implemented in March 2020, stipulating th
