We explain autonomy with full-fledged reference to the complementaristic conception of language and its introspective capabilities. This field that we refer to is understood to belong to a wider epistemic category than that of (the received view of) semiotics as well as of systems science. It follows from the linguistic complementarity that autonomies (self-references; independencies) can never be
In sociology, new institutionalists led the revival in interest in institutions in organizational theory and economic sociology by shifting the focus of causal reasoning from agent-centric studies of economic and organizational actors to the relationship connecting the firm with its institutional environment. We suggest a multilevel causal model incorporating the connection between the subinstitut
This research investigates how Weather and Climate Information Services (WCIS) have been used by farmers in the Tattaguine district of Senegal, where rainfed agriculture faces challenges due to increasing climate variability. The study employed qualitative methods, including structured interviews, key informant interviews, and a focus group discussion. The findings reveal high WCIS use rates but l
The N-body problem has been studied for many centuries and is still of interest in contemporary science. A lot of effort has gone into solving this problem but it's unlikely that a general solution will be found with the mathematical tools we have today. We review some of the progress that has been made over the centuries in solving it. We take a look at the first integrals, existence of solut
Biodiversity was during the 1990s perceived as 'green gold'. With the emergence of the biotechnology industry, biodiversity prospecting, or bioprospecting, was perceived to provide opportunities to gain benefits for several purposes. Benefits would attribute towards conservation, development of source countries, new medicines, profits for the industry and welfare to local providers of biog
This thesis explores how the handling, analysis and transformations of material and data affect the production of knowledge in an applied project of cultural analysis. It concerns itself mainly with the process of dislocation, transformation and transportation of meaning, by putting to work the actor-network theories of Bruno Latour. An attempt will be made to retrace the steps of creating materia
SKV har sedan en lång tid tillbaka varit av uppfattningen att ägare till fåmansföretag ska förmånsbeskattas för dispositionsrätten till rörelsefrämmande egendom oavsett faktiskt nyttjande. När det gäller rörelsetillgångar i fåmansföretag anser SKV att sådan egendom som huvudregel endast ska förmånsbeskattas i de fall där faktiskt nyttjande ägt rum. I de fall där rörelsetillgångar på olika sätt kanSKV has a long held the view that owners of closely held companies should be taxed for the benefit outline the rights of the non-operating property, regardless of actual use. As regards the operating assets of closely held companies believe SKV to such property as a general rule should only benefit is taxed in cases where actual use took place. In cases where the operating assets in different ways
Nyupptäckt strategi som Streptococcus pneumoniae använder för att undvika immunförsvaret Pneumokocker lyckas undvika immunsystemet och orsaka livshotande infektioner. Om alla strategier bakterien använder upptäcks kan nya vaccin framställas och nya behandlingar utvecklas innan antibiotikaresistensen blir ett allvarlig hot. Infektioner På ett effektivt sätt rensar immunsystemet kroppen från främm
This thesis aims to evaluating the actual performance of China’s “Feed-in-Tariff” system for wind energy, especially the updated version after 2009 which being part of the Chinese economic stimulus package that intended to help the recovery of the economy from global financial crisis. The research started by looking thoroughly into the evolution and mechanism of the system. Then through a case stu
The purpose of this thesis is to shed light on the role of Track II and Track III diplomacy as a means to shape Sino-Japanese relations. It studies the Track II and Track III diplomacy and its interplay and interrelations with Track I diplomacy in Sino-Japanese relations since the end of the WWII. It analyzes the function of Track II and Track III (or non-governmental) diplomacy and their interrel
Taxes and subsidies on foods and nutrients have the potential to promote healthier diets and thereby reduce mortality. In this study, we examine the effects of such policy instruments on Swedish public health. Specifically, we estimate the effects of food and nutrient taxes and subsidies on mortality averted and postponed in Sweden, using both demand system estimations and simulation models. We ev
The vascular system is vital for all tissues and the interest in its visualization spans many fields. A number of different plant-derived lectins are used for detection of vasculature; however, studies performing direct comparison of the labeling efficacy of different lectins and techniques are lacking. In this study, we compared the labeling efficacy of three lectins: Griffonia simplicifolia isol
Mistletoes (Viscum) and close relatives are unique among flowering plants in having a drastically altered electron transport chain. Lack of complex I genes has previously been reported for the mitochondrial genome, and here we report an almost complete absence of nuclear-encoded complex I genes in the transcriptome of Viscum album. Compared to Arabidopsis with approximately 40 nuclear complex I ge
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, often aggressive type of B-cell lymphoma with poor survival and no cure. Cancer and cancer treatment has a negative impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) both during active disease and in the long term, and improvement of HRQOL is a crucial objective of cancer therapy in older patients and no curative intent. Baseline HRQOL has in other lymphoma pop
Abstract: The aim of this chapter was to analyze associations between measures of cortisol in salivaand mental health and to see if divergent results were functions of the methods used. Measures ofmental health outcome included Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), symptoms of depression, andsymptoms of anxiety, Burnout (BO), and Vital Exhaustion (VE). Only studies on otherwise healthyindividuals were
Rapid advances in the development of sequencing technologies, numbers of commercial providers and diminishing costs have made DNA-based identification and diagnostics increasingly accessible to doctors and laboratories, eliminating the need for local investments in expensive technology and training or hiring of skilled technicians. However, reliable and comparable molecular analyses of bacteria in
