Suspected associations between economic performance and health are contradictory in the literature. The present paper’s purpose was to contribute to this ongoing discussion by analyzing health trends of the 2000’s in the Russian Federation in the context of the economic downturns. Russia is a particularly interesting case study because of its financial instability and the devastated health status

The purpose of this investigation was to explore the processes that are perpetuating the proliferation of youth gangs in the poverty polygons of Monterrey, Mexico as well as to establish which specific factors attributable to these marginalized areas explain why some youth males join gangs while why other youth males from the same areas refrain from joining the gang. Furthermore, the investigation

I denna uppsats kommer jag att titta på hur miljöorganisationers talerätt har förändrats i EU efter det att EU ratificerade Århuskonventionen. Århuskonventionen ger individer och miljöorganisationer talerätt gällande tillgång till information, rätt att delta i beslutsprocesser, men också gentemot privatpersoner eller myndigheter som strider mot den nationella miljölagstiftningen. EU har införlivatIn this thesis I will look at how access to justice for NGOs has changed in the EU after the Union became a party to the Aarhus Convention. The Aarhus Convention gives individuals and environmental NGOs access to justice regarding access to environmental information, public participation in decision-making, but also in regard to private persons or public authorities in breach of national environme

Prejudikat är en av de viktigaste rättskällorna i svensk rätt. Det svenska rättssystemet är uppbyggt på så sätt att det, för brott- och tvistemålen, finns en gemensam högsta domstol, som är den instans som kan meddela avgöranden som blir vägledande för framtiden. Prejudikaten är formellt sett inte bindande, men i praktiken efterlevs dem i mycket stor utsträckning av tingsrätterna och hovrätterna. Precedent is one of the most important sources of law in the Swedish legal system. The Swedish Supreme Court is the highest instance in the Swedish legal system and it is also the court that can pronounce judgements that serve as guidance for the lower courts in the future. The precedents are not formally binding; they are however obeyed to a large extent. In November 2008 new regulations, regard

Abstract I examined the evolutionary dynamics of melanic wing colouration in male and female calopterygid damselflies. I use phylogenetic analysis and ancestral state reconstructions to show that male wing pigmentation in this family evolved from clear-winged ancestors, and present evidence that wing pigmentation in male damselflies is significantly correlated (independent of phylogeny) with temp

Restored salt marsh; topography, hydrology and vegetation Coastal salt marshes are shaped through a combination of physical (i.e., sediment accumulation/erosion) and biological (i.e., vegetation) processes. They are characterized by fine sediments and halophytic vegetation. The accretion rate and elevation change has been indicated as one of the most important factors in ecology of the marshes. T

Today there are various load bearing systems to choose from, concrete, steel, timber, or a combination of these. What determines the choice is usually the economy, which depends on the solutions in the different load bearing systems that will be made. Many of these choices are made based on previous projects and previous experience but do not always lead to the optimal solution. It is important to

Breast cancer is the most common cancer type among women. The 5-year survival rate for invasive breast cancer is generally good at approximately 80-85%, however it is not uncommon for late recurrences to develop – the relative survival at 15 years is approximately 60%, in contrast to for example uterine cancer where the 5-year is about 80% and very few late deaths occur (80% survival at 15-years).

Regulation of cell division in Streptomyces venezuelae -Popular science summary- Cell division is essential for bacteria to reproduce. This process involves FtsZ, an important and highly conserved cell division protein in bacteria. FtsZ plays a major role in the division mechanism by forming ring-like structure at the site of division, recruits and organizes other cell division proteins at the di

Bröstcancer och Notch-proteiner Var tionde kvinna i Sverige kommer att ha drabbats av bröstcancer vid 75 års ålder. Cancerforskningens framsteg under de senaste decennierna har förbättrat diagnostik och behandling av denna sjukdom så att man nu kan rädda majoriteten av bröstcancerpatienterna. Emellertid finns det fortfarande former av bröstcancer som inte svarar på de behandlingsmetoder som använ

Abstract Dopamine as a neurotransmitter was discovered in the late 1950s. The dopaminergic system is one of the most well studied neurotransmitter systems in the brain. It is involved in many important functions, such as motor function control; reward, reinforcement, motivation, associative learning, salience information encoding; cognition etc. Disturbances of the dopaminergic system may result

Uppsatsen utreder huruvida det finns stöd för att det när ett avtalsbrott begåtts finns någon allmän reklamationsskyldighet i svensk rätt.
