Commercial sexual exploitation of Children and Adolescents (CSEC) is an increasing problem all over the world and especially in developing countries with growing tourist industries. In these countries CSEC and Child Sex Tourism have become two often closely connected problems. In Costa Rica there are many NGOs and governmental institutions working with these problems through prevention, attention
It was with great interest that I read “Political Power of Iranian Hierocracies” by János Jany published in Comparative Civilizations Review. Writing about Iranian history is not an easy task because historical points of view have been highly politicized. Such is particularly the case when discussing the Pahlavi dynasty, particularly its founder, Reza Shah Pahlavi, and his successor, Mohammed Reza
Protein kinase C (PKC) plays a prominent role in immune signaling, and the paradigms for isoform selective signaling are beginning to be elucidated. Real-time microscopy was combined with molecular and biochemical approaches to demonstrate a role for PKC-epsilon in Fcgamma receptor (FcgammaR)-dependent phagocytosis. RAW 264.7 macrophages were transfected with GFP-conjugated PKC isoforms, and GFP m
Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to critically review different pricing strategies with a special focus on Revenue Management and discuss the possibilities and challenges for hotels when optimising their profitability. Methodology: We have conducted three case studies on hotels located in the Öresund region. The studies were done with a qualitative research approach. The respondents are all w
The mission of the Centre for Engineering Education is to: - Facilitate educational development and training within the framework of Genombrottet. - Organize faculty-wide doctoral courses and training of PhD supervisors. - Organize Supplemental Instruction (SI) at the Faculty of Engineering and in collaboration with primary and secondary schools. - Deliver foundation education for access to engine
The laboratory consists of a XenX x-ray irradiator (XStrahl) for experimental radiobiology, with supporting equipment for cell culture applications, such as laminar flow cabinets, CO2 incubators, and a hypoxia workstation. The XenX unit is designed as a radiotherapy machine in miniature. It consists of a 225 kV x-ray source, mounted on a rotatable gantry allowing irradiation of specimens from all
In 2009, a nationwide initiative was established in order to lead and develop world-leading research in Sweden. Lund University received strategic research funding from the Swedish Foundation for Stategic Research and the Swedish Government for 12 strategic research areas (SRAs) of excellence. Of these 12 SRAs, StemTherapy (the strategic research area for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine) cont

Kompetenscentret AdTherM inriktar sig på analyser av termiska processer i industriella tillämpningar, inklusive termo- och elektrokemisk energiomvandling. De flesta utmaningar för industrin inom detta område är generiska och baseras på samma fysiska mekanismer. För att utveckla detta forskningsfält måste både experiment och modeller förbättras och samordnas. AdTherM är en plattform som är centreraAdTherM targets analyses of thermal processes in industrial applications, including thermo- and electrochemical energy conversion activities. Most challenges for the industry in this area are generic and based on the same physical mechanisms. To develop this field, both experiments and models need to be improved and coordinated.
