The aim of this Master’s thesis is to analyse the discourse of accessibility at the Regional Archives in Lund. The focal point of the study is the interaction between the archivist and the user of the archival records, which stems from questions regarding how archival records are mediated in the dialogue between the archivist and the user, and if the archive’s construct of access is perceived as a

Denna uppsats behandlar det straffrättsliga begreppet samtycke som är en av ansvarsfrihetsgrunderna i svensk rätt. Syftet i uppsatsen är att besvara när samtycke blir relevant att åberopa och när det tillämpas. I ansvarsfrihetsgrunden samtycke innefattas två centrala rekvisit: att samtycket är giltigt samt att gärningen inte är oförsvarlig. Arbetet koncentrerar sig på samtycke till våldsbrott och This paper examines and analyzes the conception of consent in Swedish criminal law. The purpose of the paper is to answer the question when consent becomes relevant to discuss and to examine when it should be applicable. The conception of consent contents two necessary prerequisites: it has to be a valid consent and the criminal act can’t be indefensible. The work of the paper concentrates in crim

Syftet med denna uppsats är att granska det rättsliga skyddet för visselblåsare i Sverige. Syftet är även att utreda om eventuella problem som finns med detta skydd löses genom de lagförslag som finns i de offentliga utredningarna SOU 2013:79 och SOU 2014:31. Det finns inte någon lagstiftning i Sverige som specifikt inriktar sig på skydd för visselblåsare. Det rättsliga skyddet är komplext och berThe purpose of this paper is to examine the legal protection of whistleblowers in Sweden. The purpose is also to examine if any problems with this legal protection are solved by the bills in two Government Official Reports – SOU 2013:79 and SOU 2014:31. There is no specific regulation in Swedish law for the protection of whistleblowers. The legal protection is complex and different rules from diff

This thesis explores the anti-media populist discourse of the current Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, with which he harshly targets Slovak mainstream media to delegitimize them and their critical reporting. This practice, which Fico has been engaging in for many years, was originally considered problematic mainly due to its potentially detrimental consequences for trust in the media among many

Världen har kommit en bit på vägen mot en grönare framtid, men mer behöver göras för att nå klimatmålen. En viktig del av lösningen är fler förnyelsebara energikällor, såsom solceller. Problemet med solceller i Sverige är dock att solen skiner som mest på sommaren, när elpriserna är låga, och knappt alls på vintern, när elpriserna är höga. Därför hade det varit bra med en lösning som möjliggör attIn order to contribute to reaching the climate goals of the future, power-to-heat (P2H) technologies are a possible solution. A heat pump (HP) or an electric boiler (EB) can be used to produce warm water by utilising cheap electricity from photovoltaic (PV) parks in the summer when there are many hours of sunlight. The warm water can then be stored until winter for use in district heating (DH) whe

HAMLET, a complex of α-lactalbumin and oleic acid, preferentially kills cancer cells and is also effective in vivo. HAMLET causes apoptosis but cells die even if this pathway is inhibited. Thus, the role of autophagy, an alternative cell death pathway, was examined. During autophagy double membrane-enclosed autophagosomes form around cellular material and deliver it to the lysosomes for degradatio

Popular Abstract in Swedish Våra celler är täckta av kolhydrater (socker) som är kopplade till proteiner och lipider på cellens yta. Olika celler presenterar olika socker, och en och samma cell kan dessutom ändra sitt sockeruttryck beroende på hur den mår och vad den vill utföra, till exempel dela sig eller dö, en effekt man ofta ser i cancer. På så sätt fungerar sockerstrukturerna som en kod som There is an intensive interest in characterising the structure and function of galectins, which is not surprising given their many important cellular functions and strong implications in human disease. Understanding the mechanisms involved in galectin functions will help to find selective and novel strategies for disease treatment and diagnosis. A key to this lies in their carbohydrate binding spe

This study investigated the feasibility of targeting the free, unbound forms of prostate-specific antigen (fPSA) for in vivo imaging of prostate adenocarcinomas (PCa), as PSA is produced and secreted at abundance during every clinical stage and grade of PCa, including castration-resistant disease. We injected (125)I-labeled monoclonal antibody PSA30 (specific for an epitope uniquely accessible on

Proteus mirabilis bacilli play an important role in human urinary tract infections, bacteremia, and rheumatoid arthritis. The authors previously studied human complement C3 conversion by smooth-form P. mirabilis O10, O23, O30, and O43 lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) and showed that smooth Proteus LPSs fragmented C3 in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In the present study, one smooth P. mirabilis S195

In this paper, we study machine learning techniques and features of electroencephalography activity bursts for predicting outcome in extremely preterm infants. It was previously shown that the distribution of interburst interval durations predicts clinical outcome, but in previous work the information within the bursts has been neglected. In this paper, we perform exploratory analysis of feature e

This thesis addresses the correlation between creditor protection and thecross-border seat transfer of companies in the light of the case law of the European Court of Justice concerning the freedom of establishment of undertakings. After the restrictive outcome of Daily Mail, the judgment of the European Court of Justice in Centros took the legal community by surprise. The following cases of Übers

In high-income countries a large proportion of all deaths occur in hospitals. A common way to translate knowledge into clinical practice is developing guidelines for different levels of health care organisations. During 2012, national clinical guidelines for palliative care were published in Sweden. Later, guidance for palliative care was issued by the National Board of Health and Welfare. The aim

Blastocystis is an enteric protozoan purportedly associated with numerous clinical cases of diarrhea, flatulence, vomiting, and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Despite new knowledge of Blastocystis cell biology, genetic diversity, and epidemiology, its pathogenic potential remains controversial. Numerous clinical and epidemiological studies either implicate or exonerate the parasite as a cause of

Wrought Alloy 600 and Alloy 182 weld metal were tested for stress corrosion crack initiation in a BWR test loop. For the tests a modified bolt loaded compact tension specimen was developed, in which a U-notch replaced the conventional crack notch. The stress state close to notches of various radii was analyzed. Specimens with various notch radii were loaded to the same displacement at the bolt. A

We identify biomarkers for disease progression in three type 2 diabetes cohorts encompassing 2,973 individuals across three molecular classes, metabolites, lipids and proteins. Homocitrulline, isoleucine and 2-aminoadipic acid, eight triacylglycerol species, and lowered sphingomyelin 42:2;2 levels are predictive of faster progression towards insulin requirement. Of ~1,300 proteins examined in two

A non-commercial knowledge base providing assessments of fetal risks of medicinal drugs is a useful tool in the everyday work of midwives. The information is freely available on the internet, and according to a questionnaire study, nearly 95% of the midwives are familiar with the database, 30% use the information weekly, and 80% express that it affects their medical decisions. A vast majority of t
