Purpose: This study explores informational structures producing and organizing the construction of waste sorting in Sweden. It shows how the issue is constructed by it being searched for in Google and how this contributes to the specific informational texture of waste sorting in Sweden. It is guided by the following questions: Who are the main actors and which are the central topics featuring in G

Background. CD14, a coreceptor for several pattern recognition receptors and a widely used monocyte/macrophage marker, plays a key role in host responses to gram-negative bacteria. Despite the central role of CD14 in the inflammatory response to lipopolysaccharide and other microbial products and in the dissemination of bacteria in some infections, the signaling networks controlled by CD14 during

With the arrival of heterogeneous manycores comprising various features to support task, data and instruction-level parallelism, developing applications that take full advantage of the hardware parallel features has become a major challenge. In this paper, we present an extension to our CAL compilation framework (CAL2Many) that supports data parallelism in the CAL Actor Language. Our compilation f

In our article entitled ‘The Responsibility to Protect – An incoherent Doctrine?’ we claimed that R2P in the version proposed by the ICISS is incoherent. We argued that the ICISS-report used the criteria of right intention, proportionality and legitimate authority to determine when a humanitarian intervention is obligatory and we continued by arguing that this cannot be done in a coherent manner.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are artificial receptors designed for the selective recognition of template molecules. These polymers have been applied in analytical separations, as chemical sensors and in drug delivery system due to their low cost and high stability. In recent years MIP beads, especially those with good selectivity in aqueous solution, have become attractive as they can be

This chapter explores trends in an emotional or experience economy as this relates to media management. The case of reality entertainment is used as an example of the tricky balancing act between the management and production of media content that has emotional resonance and audience engagement with such content. The research draws on quantitative and qualitative empirical audience data to illumin

Tumor-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) offer several modes of tumor cell killing, from direct cytotoxic activity to indirect mechanisms employing the host immune system, particularly its innate branch. The latter effector functions seem to dominate among clinically approved anti-cancer mAbs and major efforts are being undertaken by both academia and the pharmaceutical industry with the aim to

Ett resilient hushåll, som är väl förberett för en kris, ökar krishanteringsförmågan för samhället i stort när katastrofen är ett faktum – och mildrar konsekvenserna. Trots att hushåll på landsbygden drabbades hårt av stormen Gudrun 2005 var de väsentliga för krishanteringen som helhet, inte minst för överlevnad och mellanmänsklig omsorg. Hur såg detta skeende ut, och på vilket sätt kan analys av

The electrochemically coated conducting paper based point-of-care diagnostics using amperometric sensing principles for troponin detection has been demonstrated in the present report. The cost-effective and stable conducting polymer coating was achieved on papers using screen printing followed by electrochemical deposition techniques for the first time. The cyclic voltammetric analysis has reveale

Residential fires are often unequally distributed over residentialareas. In a Swedish research project - Residential fires in the metropolitanareas - underlying factors behind residential fires are analyzed in thecities of Malmö, Gothenburg and Stockholm. A central researchquestion is how geographical differences between residential fires andunderlying socio-economic factors in the cities can be a

Butikskedjorna inom dagligvaruhandeln är viktiga aktörer i arbetet med att förbättra ekologiska och sociala aspekter av livsmedelsförsörjningen och även för att uppmuntra till hållbara produkter på marknaden. Med tanke på deras stora inflytande på andra aktörer i produktkedjan i hållbarhetsarbetet tillskrivs butikskedjorna ofta benämningen grindvakt. Denna position innebär också f

- Allmänheten anser generellt att klimatfrågan är viktig, och förklarar sig beredd att agera både som medborgare och konsumenter. Samtidigt varierar allmänhetens klimathänsyn kraf- tigt mellan olika områden. Social motivation är en stark drivkraft som kan förklara allmänhe- tens motstridiga agerande i klimatfrågan.- Positiva argument som förbättrad luft och högre livskvalitet i stä
