In recent years, climate change has been widely recognized as a potential problem. The building industry is taking a variety of actions towards sustainable development and climate change mitigation, such as retrofitting buildings. More than mitigation, it is important to account for climate change adaptation and investigate the probable risks and limits for mitigation strategies. For example, one
The complete amino acid sequence of the single polypeptide chain of human complex-forming glycoprotein heterogeneous in charge (protein HC) isolated from a single individual is reported with the supporting data. The primary structure was determined by automatic degradation of the intact chain and of fragments obtained by chemical and enzymatic degradations of the native or reduced and S-carboxymet
Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is a disorder in which, despite the presence of islet antibodies at diagnosis of diabetes, the progression of autoimmune ß-cell failure is slow. LADA patients are therefore not insulin requiring, at least during the first 6 months after diagnosis of diabetes.

The aim was to perform a bibliometric study, and compare the quantity of publications on schizophrenia with the total medical literature in Medline during 57 years, 1950-2006. The annual additions of literature to Medline are continually increasing and form the Medline growth curve. Comparisons of the number of publications on schizophrenia, or any other disease, to this curve, may be used to esti
BACKGROUND: Maintenance of the botanical integrity of cereal kernels and the addition of acetic acid (as vinegar) in the product or meal has been shown to lower the postprandial blood glucose and insulin response and to increase satiety. However, the mechanism behind the benefits of acetic acid on blood glucose and satiety is not clear. We hypothesized that the gastric emptying rate could be invol

Inför det svenska riksdagsvalet 2018 var ett av de mest debatterade ämnena brott och straff. Efter en tid av dödsskjutningar på öppen gata och med vittnen som inte vågade lämna sina iakttagelser på grund av risken för hämndaktioner ropades det från politiskt håll efter möjligheten till att avlägga vittnesmål anonymt som ett led i kampen mot den organiserade brottsligheten.

Inom associationsrätten finns det personassociationer, som förenar personer, och kapitalassociationer, som förenar ett kapital. De sistnämnda har ett begränsat ansvar för delägarna, utgör egna rättssubjekt och består av ett grundkapital som väger upp det begränsade ansvaret. På grund av sina egenskaper har kapitalassociationen länge varit ett populärt val vid bolagsbildning. Uppsatsen utgör en komIn Corporate law there exist partnerships, which brings together people, and limited companies, which unites capital.

Denna studie undersökte möjligheten att använda icke-kontextuella mått på motivation: Tidsinvestering och Personlighet. Dessa icke-kontextuella mått utvärderades utifrån deras förmåga att predicera genomsnittligt betyg (GPA), ett vanligt använt mått på akademisk prestation och indikator för akademisk motivation. Resultaten analyserades via explorativ faktoranalys och multipel linjär regression basThis study investigated the possibility of using non-contextual measurements of motivation: Time-investment and Personality. These non-contextual measurements were evaluated based on their ability to predict Grade Point Average (GPA), a commonly used metric of academic performance and used tangible for academic motivation. Results were analysed through exploratory factor analyses (EFA) and multipl

Den tilltalades tidigare brottslighet kan i svensk rätt påverka påföljdsbestämningen för ny brottslighet, dvs. straffmätning och påföljdsval, på främst tre sätt. I första hand kan den tidigare brottsligheten beaktas genom ett skärpt påföljdsval. I andra hand har rätten möjlighet att förklara villkorligt medgiven frihet förverkad. I sista hand finns det genom straffskärpning möjlighet att förlänga

Many of the coastal areas in Vietnam have elevations below one meter making them vulnerable to salt water intrusion, flooding, and erosion. The Red River Delta (RRD) located in northern Vietnam has suffered severe erosion along certain stretches of coastline during at least the last hundred years. At Hai Hau Beach in the RRD, a land area of 16 km in length and 2.5 km in width has been lost during
International law related to patents, on the one side, and human rights, on the other, both constitute interesting areas of law on their own. From time-to time the two distinct fields of international law intertwine. A tragic but highly relevant example is the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic. The core of law-related considerations of the HIV/AIDS epidemic consists of specific parts of the two fields, na
As the overall United Nations (UN) machinery embarks on its continuous road of reformation, more particularly as it relates to reforming its Human Rights System, this Thesis sets out to critically examine the effect of this process on one aspect of the latter System: international minority rights.
