Over the years, there has been much debate regarding the conformational behavior of flexible polyelectrolytes with electrostatic interactions described by the D bye-Huckel approximation. In particular, the electrostatic persistence length has been reported to depend both quadratically and linearly on the screening length as well as having no consistent power-law dependence at all. On the basis of
The use of area-based approaches in urban regeneration is widely accepted in the European community. As these projects are based on the context of the focal area, there is no one-size-fits-all solution on how to design and implement those. The Eco-city Augustenborg project is an environmentally-led urban regeneration project initiated in Malmö in 1998. Today, fifteen years after the project was in
Utgångspunkten i svensk rätt är att våldtäktslagstiftningen ska skydda varje individs rätt till sexuell integritet och sexuellt självbestämmande. Dagens lagstiftning gör straffbart när gärningsmannen genom våld eller hot tvingat offret eller otillbörligt utnyttjat att offret befunnit sig i en särskilt utsatt situation. Den kritik som riktats mot våldtäktslagstiftningen är att en person är tillgängThe basis of the rape legislation in Sweden is the right of every individual's sexual integrity and sexual self-determination. The current legislation requires that the offender has used force, threat or a situation of exploitation. The critic against the legislation is that a person is available as long as he or she does not make any physical resistance. The presumption will be different with
It just turned out this way - the life stories of six young women confined to a secure juvenile correctional facility The purpose of this paper is to identify risk conditions and protective conditions for a group of girls under secure confinement, based on their retrospective testimonies, and also to examine how these conditions manifest themselves in their statements. The empirical basis for th
One of the biggest question in physics is to investigate the early universe or big bang. 10 µs after big bang, there existed a phase of transition called QGP (Quark Gluon Plasma). In this phase of transition quarks and gluon were free from each other. In normal life neutron and proton consist of three quarks with exchanging gluons. To simulate QGP scientists has built the large accelerator at CERN
It is estimated that approximately 8-10% of yogurt-based products stick to the carton packaging material surface (Hansson, 2011), and therefore consumers cannot pour the entire product out of the package. This is a multi-dimensional problem since product loss is expensive, because all the resources throughout the supply chain are wasted (European Parliament, 2011; FAO, 2012). In addition, the rema
Syfte: Vårt syfte är att undersöka aktiekursutvecklingen hos statligt ägda bolag som privatiserats helt eller delvis genom en börsintroduktion eller en nyemission. Vidare syftar uppsatsen till att undersöka huruvida storleken av privatiseringen har någon betydelse för aktiekursens utveckling samt om privatiseringen kan användas som en investeringsstrategi. Metod: För att undersöka utvecklingen avPurpose: To examine the stock performance of formerly state owned enterprises that have been fully or partly sold to the market as a result of an IPO or SEO. The general purpose of this essay is to see if one can use privatizations as a investment strategy, and if the share size of the IPO or SEO can explanatory to the performance. Methodology: To be able to perform this study and fulfil the purp
The purpose of this thesis was to explore gender norms, beauty ideals and social practices and the way these become ‘visible’ on the Japanese female body as (re)producing the ideal Japanese femininity and skin color in particular. In order to achieve that, I investigate and identify these norms, the mechanisms that implement them on the body and the attitudes and expression of resistance against t
Objective: To investigate test-retest reliability and internal consistency of a new instrument for evaluation of mobility device interventions. Material and methods: The instrument comprised 4 scales and one summed index. Two test-retest interviews involved 147 mobility device users (mean age 60 years) with a broad range of functional limitations, living at home. Results: For 2 scales and the summ
Background: Age, gender and socioeconomic status have been shown to be associated with the use of prescription drugs, even after adjustment for multimorbidity. General practitioners have a holistic and patient-centred perspective and our hypothesis is that this may reflect on the prescription of drugs. In Sweden the patient may seek secondary care without a letter of referral and the liability of
Whey protein adsorption on stainless steel surfaces was investigated by in situ ellipsometry under well-defined flow conditions and protein solution residence times. The size distribution in solution of the protein aggregates formed under the same conditions was determined by dynamic light scattering. The adsorption was performed at 72 degrees C and 85 degrees C which is below and above the unfold
BACKGROUND: Surgical safety during posterior sagittal anorectal plasty (PSARP) for anorectal malformations (ARM) depends on accurate pre-operative fistula localization. This study aimed to evaluate accuracy of pre-operative fistula diagnostics.METHODS: Ethical approval was obtained. Diagnostic accuracy of pre-PSARP symptoms (stool in urine, urine in passive ostomy, urinary tract infection) and exa
Background: Flavonoids are compounds of interest in the search for new anti-cancer therapies. We have previously isolated the methoxyflavones 5,4′-dihydroxy-6,7,8,3′-tetramethoxyflavone (8-methoxycirsilineol), 5,4′-dihydroxy-6,7,8-trimethoxyflavone (xanthomicrol), and 5,4,'3′-trihydroxy-6,7,8-trimethoxyflavone (sideritoflavone) from Baccharis densiflora. Herein, we investigate the toxicity of thes
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the causative agent of gonorrhea, a disease that is restricted to humans. Complement forms a key arm of the innate immune system that combats gonococcal infections. N. gonorrhoeae uses its outer membrane porin (Por) molecules to bind the classical pathway of complement down-regulatory protein C4b-binding protein (C4bp) to evade killing by human complement. Strains of N. go
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) has a variety of biological effects, e.g. it induces and modulates vascular smooth muscle activity. The effects are mainly mediated via a hetergenous group of 5-HT receptor subtypes. In order to elucidate the 5-HT receptor mechanisms in the human splanchnic circulation, in vitro studies were carried out on omental arteries obtained from patients undergoing abdominal surg
To, address; he possibility, that genes specifically control the chronic phase of arthritis we have isolated a congenic fragment from the resistant E3; rat cm the, susceptible DA rat background. The isolated fragment covers the Pia6 quantitative trait locus on chromosome 14, which previously has been identified to be linked to chronic pristane induced arthritis (PIA) in gene segregation experiment
Purpose – Scenarios have become a vital methodological approach in business as well as in public policy. When scenarios are used to guide analysis and decision-making, the aim is typically robustness and in this context we argue that two main problems at scenario set level is conservatism, i.e. all scenarios are close to a perceived business-as-usual trajectory and lack of balance in the sense of
Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI) is a naturally occurring inhibitor of the TF-FVIIa induced coagulation in the presence of FXa. Recombinant two domain TFPI, where Asn 117 on the FXa-inhibitory domain was exchanged to a Gln yielding non-glycosylated TFPI (117QTFPI1-161), was evaluated regarding pharmacokinetics and delayed antithrombotic potential in the rabbit. Pharmacokinetic study 117QTFPI
