De senaste åren har upphovsrätten fått mycket uppmärksamhet eftersom den digitala utvecklingen och framväxandet av Internet gjort det möjligt att snabbt och utan kvalitetsförlust lagra och överföra stora mängder ljud, bild och text. Denna överföring är inte sällan olovlig och det sker idag omfattande upphovsrättsintrång över Internet. I dessa intrång är det i huvudsak tre olika aktörer som är inblIn recent years, copyright law has been given much attention since the digital development and the emergence of the Internet made it possible to quickly storage and transfer large amounts of audio, images and text without loss of quality. The transfer is often illegal and there is a widespread copyright infringement going on in the Internet environment. In these infringements there are three main

Cyperus fuscus was thought to be extinct in Sweden until it was rediscovered at Lake Vombsjön, Skåne, after 63 years in 2013. The species also occurred at the lake 2014—2021, but in very variable numbers. The variation depended largely on the water level during late summer. Favourable conditions in form of low levels in late summer have also occurred prior to 2013, though less frequently than in rCyperus fuscus was rediscovered at Lake Vombsjön in Skåne, southernmost Sweden, in 2013. The species occurred there between 1945 and 1950, which was the latest Swedish record except for a casual occurrence in a plant nursery. The comeback was spectacular with 2770 individuals counted along 4.7 km of the shore. In 2013, the water level was exceptionally low for technical reasons, with up to 100 m o

A search is reported for the pair production of a new quark b' with at least one b' decaying to a Z boson and a bottom quark. The data, corresponding to 2.0 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity, were collected from pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Using events with a b-tagged jet and a Z boson reconstructed from opposite-charge electrons, the ma

This research presents the modeling of the anaerobic digestion of cane-molasses vinasse, hereby extending the Anaerobic Digestion Model No. 1 with sulfate reduction for a very high strength and sulfate rich wastewater. Based on a sensitivity analysis, four parameters of the original ADM1 and all sulfate reduction parameters were calibrated. Although some deviations were observed between model pred

Studier visar på att ljudnivån på en intensivvårdsavdelning är hög. I många studier har man kommit fram till att en stor del av ljudet orsakas av samtal mellan personal. Samtal svarar för 26% av allt ljud på en intensivvårdsavdelning. Sömn är en grundläggande komponent för att återställa energi och fysisk hälsa efter sjukdom. Upp till 58 % av alla patienter som sover vaknar på grund av oljud inne

A method to compute spin-orbit coupling between electronic states is presented. An effective one-electron spin-orbit Hamiltonian is used, based on atomic mean field integrals, The basic electronic states are obtained using the restricted active space (RAS) SCF method. The Hamiltonian matrix is obtained by an extension of the restricted active space state interaction (RASSI) method. Several hundred

Background: Clinical egg allergy is a common food allergy. Current management relies upon strict allergen avoidance. Oral immunotherapy might be an optional treatment, through desensitization to egg allergen. Objectives: To determine the efficacy and safety of oral and sublingual immunotherapy in children and adults with immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated egg allergy as compared to a placebo treatmen

Background: Although chronic breathlessness is common in life-limiting illnesses, validated feasible instruments to measure functional impact of the symptom in this population are scarce. We aimed to validate the Dyspnea Exertion Scale (DES) compared with the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) breathlessness scale for test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, and responsiveness in people

During the last decades a striking decline has been observed for wild bees throughout central and north-western Europe, including Sweden. in an area of 64 km' in the parish of Stenbrohult, southern Smaland Andrena hattorfiana, Andrena humilis, Nomada armata and Panurgus hanksianus were studied (in Sweden red-listed as VU, EN, EN and VU). We present occurrence patterns in relation to habitat types

This essay discusses language uniformity and diversity in the light of recent development of the minimalist program (Hauser et al. 2002, Chomsky 2008, Berwick and Chomsky 2011, and much related work). It pursues two leading ideas. First, Universal Grammar (UG) is maximally minimal: hence early internal language (I-language) is largely uniform across individuals, language variation being mainly or

Reviews the book, From Trauma to Transformation by Muriel Prince Warren (see record 2006-03012-000). The reviewer believes this book is a disorganized, rambling, uninformed, and poorly written text. The only reason the reviewer finished reading the book was because of the commitment to write this review. The book's scholarship-or lack of it-is even worse than the book's organization. The author ma

In the evolution of bird migration, partial migration is assumed to be an important intermediate step between migration and residency. Partial migration is characterised by the existence of both migratory and resident individuals in a given population. Compared to regular migration, relatively little is known about partial migrants and their migratory performances. In my thesis, I have studied th

Rationale: Long-term outcomes after acute kidney injury (AKI) are poorly described. Objectives: We hypothesized that one single episode of minimal (stage 1) AKI is associated with reduced long-term survival compared with no AKI after recovery from critical illness. Methods: A prospective cohort of 2,010 intensive care unit (ICU) patients admitted to the ICU between years 2000 and 2009 at a provinc

One of the most critical functions of the various Proteomics organizations is the training of young scientists and the dissemination of information to the general scientific community. The education committees of the Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO) and the European Proteomics Association (EuPA) together with the other local proteomics associations are therefore launching a joint Tutorial Progra

A bench scale aerobic submerged membrane bioreactor (ASMBR) was used to treat diluted palm oil mill effluent (POME). For further improving the effluent quality and reduction of bio-fouling, powdered activated carbon (PAC) and zeolite were used as bio-fouling reducers (BM). We compared the performances of ASMBR without BFR (called BFR0) with ASMBR using BFR, namely 2 g/L PAC (BFR1), 4 g/L PAC (BFR2

Stroke is a neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of disability in adult humans. Treatments to support efficient recovery in stroke patients are lacking. Several studies have demonstrated the ability of grafted neural stem cells (NSCs) to partly improve impaired neurological functions in stroke-subjected animals. Recently, we reported that NSCs from human fetal striatum and cortex exhib

Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a 188 amino acid, 25 kDa protein belonging to the lipocalin protein superfamily. Although predominantly associated with high density lipoprotein, apoM is found in all major lipoprotein classes. To facilitate clinical studies of apoM, we have developed a sandwich ELISA for the measurement of apoM in human plasma. This method has been used to investigate normal apoM variat

The function of six porcine left lung allografts was studied after pulmonary (140 mL/kg) and bronchial (50 mL/kg) artery perfusion with Perfadex (Kabi Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden) at room temperature, followed by 24-hour storage of the lungs in an atelectatic state in 6 degrees to 8 degrees C Perfadex, which is a low-potassium-dextran solution. Left lung transplantation was done followed by right p
