Digital systems are integrated in our environment and have become a natural part of our every day life. As we rely more on these systems our expectations on them increases. We expect them to perform new tasks, communicate and cooperate. The complexity of these systems are increasing. The increasing complexity and the requirement for flexibility, which allows the system to adapt and evolve over tim
Energy correlations between gamma -ray transitions and the prompt proton decay line in Cu-58 were studied by means of the fusion-evaporation reaction Ca-40(Mg-24,1 alpha 1p1n) using the EUROBALL spectrometer coupled to ancillary detector devices. A lifetime of 0.06 < tau < 0.58 ps for the 8915 keV proton-decaying state in Cu-58 is deduced. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
The t(6;9) translocation is found in a subset of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is associated with a poor prognosis. The translocation results in the formation of the DEK-NUP214 fusion protein containing almost the entire nuclear protein DEK and two thirds of the nucleoporin NUP214. The molecular mechanisms behind the leukemic conversion of cells expressing the fusion protein DEK-N
Boken handlar om jag-begreppet i tanke och tal. Huvudfrågan är vad vi menar när vi säger 'jag. Relaterade frågor rör vilka sorters jag-kunskap och självmedvetande som behövs för att kunna tala om sig själv. Betoningen ligger på menings- och referensteorier, men ett stort utrymme ägnas även åt jag-tankar och jagbegreppets roll för tänkande i allmänhet.The subjct of this book is the first person in thought and language. The main question is what we mean when we say 'I'. Related to it are questions about what kinds of self-consciousness and self-knowledge are needed in order for us to have the capacity to talk about ourselves. The emphasis is on theories of meaning and reference for 'I', but a fair amount of space is devoted to 'I'-thoughts and t
Investigations of variations in metabolic efficiency and thermogenesis have a short and turbulent history. In small animals, non-shivering thermogenesis and diet-induced thermogenesis have a great impact on overall body weight, and the question is whether mechanisms to waste energy have evolved also in human energy metabolism. The candidate molecules for this adaptive thermogenesis are the uncoupl
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens ämne är den mezuzah, en kapsel med texter ur 5 Mosebok, som bör fästas på dörrposterna i ett judiskt hem, i uppfyllande av budet i 5 Mos. 6:9/11:21: "och du skall skriva dem [dessa ord] på dörrposterna i ditt hus och på dina portar". Genom en översikt över rabbinska texter vilka behandlar budet att fästa en mezuzah på dörrposterna i hemmet inThe present study deals with different aspects of the mitsvat mezuzah in Rabbinic literature from the first to the sixteenth centuries, with some emphasis on the medieval sources. Through a charting of statements regarding the mezuzah as an object, and the mitsvat mezuzah and its fulfilment, an overview is given of the development of the mezuzah and the perception of it
Reviews the film, Requiem, directed by Hans-Christian Schmid (2006). This award-winning (for both its star, Sandra Hüller, and the film itself) German film is based on the case of Anneliese Michel, a 23-year-old German woman who died in 1976, probably of starvation (she weighed 68 lb. just before her death) and exhaustion, after 67 exorcism rites. Hüller's nuanced performance chills the spine far
Dalköpingeån, en icke-perenn å med ett avrinningsområde på 66 km² beläget i Söderslätt, södra Skåne, upplever en säsongsbunden torka längs en 3 km lång sträcka av dess totala längd på 15,4 km under sommaren. På den plats där ån torkar ut observerades ett slukhål 1976, vilket tros bidra till torrperioden. För att undersöka detta fenomen och få insikter i det hydrogeologiska systemet genomfördes en The Dalköpinge River, a non-perennial river with a 66 km² catchment area located in Söderslätt, southern Scania, Sweden, experiences a seasonal dry phase along a 3 km stretch of its 15.4 km length during summer. At the location where it runs dry a sinkhole was observed in 1976, believed to contribute to the dry spell. To investigate this phenomenon and gain insights into the hydrogeological system
The cerebellum is important for the control of movements, speech as well as mental activities. In the molecular layer of the cerebellum there exist interneurons which role in the cerebellar neural network is not yet fully understood. In this thesis, these interneurons are simulated by mathematical models in order to investigate their connectivity attern. Further, the input/output behavior of a del
The sediment composition of drumlins in the Åsnen area in Småland, south Sweden is poorly studied. Excavations are being planned with intention to study the internal architecture and composition of these drumlins. As a preliminary investigation this thesis was done to determine the sediment depths in the tail of a drumlin at Rörvik gård, situated on Vemboö in Lake Åsnen. To determine the sediment
I svensk rätt finns bestämmelser som berör gärningsbeskrivningen i 30:3 RB och 45:4 RB. Det första lagrummet stadgar att gärningsbeskrivningen utgör ramen för domstolens prövning. Det andra lagrummet stadgar vilket innehåll en gärningsbeskrivning ska ha. Frågan hur preciserad den information som ges i gärningsbeskrivning ska vara har länge varit omdiskuterad. Kraven på gärningsbeskrivningens precIn Swedish law, the provisions regarding the indictment are found in 30:3 RB and 45:4 RB. The first provision states that the indictment serves as a foundation of the court´s trial. The second provision establishes what specific information the indictment should contain. The question of how accurate the information provided in the indictment must be has long been up for discussion. The requiremen
Förr i tiden existerade närmare 90 % fler våtmarker på Öland än vad som finns idag. Innan ut-dikningen hade ägt rum fungerade Ölands strandvallar som en barriär för vattnet så det förhindrades att strömma ut mot Östersjön. I huvudsak lutar topografin på Öland österut vilket bidrar till att vattnet automatiskt transporteras från väst mot öst. Genom att dika ut och ta bort delar av de naturliga hindIn the past the need to enhance land use for agricultural purposes resulted in ditching of land and existing beach deposits to reduce wetlands. The ditching resulted in a 90% decrease of wetlands on Öland together with a decrease in groundwater. Before the drainage had started the beach deposits on Öland worked as a barrier that pre-vented the water to run off towards the Baltic Sea. The topograph
The objective of this paper is to determine the existence of temporal persistence in the homicide rates in the Colombian regions, or in other words, to determine the existence of a relationship between the past and present homicide rates. In order to achieve this objective, in this study was analyzed longitudinal data with annual observations for all the municipalities of the country. The results
Abstract: The gender pay-gap is not a new phenomenon in Brazil. Since the increase of female participation on the labor market, the gap has remained a persistent problem that has generated a wide range of studies on the topic. The Human Capital Theory argues that individuals’ education and on-the-job experience are essential determinants on wage estimations. This assessment is not disputed in the
This thesis focuses on seasoned equity offerings and aims to examine announcement effects and long-run performance of SEO firms on the Swedish stock exchanges, during the recovery phase of the global financial crisis. Also, an OLS regression is run in order to explain post-SEO performance using the independent variables book-to-market ratio, market capitalization and the firms’ number of SEOs duri
Despite an increasing number of women entering the economics profession during recent decades, it is still dominated by men. This paper summarizes the situation in academic economics in Australia, Canada, Great Britain, the United States, and Sweden (substantial appendices detail the situation in Sweden, not previously been available in English). Women constitute about a third of the PhD graduates
