In connection with the international housing exhibition Bo01 in Malmo, Sweden in 2001, several residential units were built. To get building permission, all developers had to present calculations proving that their buildings would use in total less than 105 kWh/(m(2.)year) bought energy. Measurements show that none of the buildings fulfilled the demand concerning energy use. According to the calcu
A supply chain is often complex in nature. Goods, information, and money shall flow in and between companies in a simple and cost effective manner. There are a number of tools that companies can use to control and manage the supply chain in an efficient manner.

Frågor som behandlar sexualitet och genus har endast på senare tid hamnat i fokus för samhällsvetenskaplig forskning och advocacy i Vietnam. Sexualitet och genus är ämnen som är tabu och icke-heterosexuella personer och transpersoner möter ofta diskriminering, stigmatisering eller osynliggörande och civilsamhället är till viss del begränsat. Syftet med följande uppsats är därför att undersöka hur Questions concerning sexuality and gender have only recently become the focus of social research and advocacy in Vietnam. Sexuality and gender are taboo subjects and non-heterosexual and trans persons often face discrimination, stigmatization or invisibility and civil society is in certain respects restricted. The purpose of the following thesis is therefore to investigate how a Vietnamese non-gov
This thesis is based on a qualitative study of paratexts, or paratextual elements, in Muḥammad Khalīfah al-Tūnisīys translation of the Antisemitic forgery Protocols of the (Learned) Elders of Zion (in translation: al-Khaṭar al-Yahūdīy: Brūtūkūlāt Ḥukamā’ Ṣahyūn ), from 1951. Gérard Genette, and his book Paratexts: Thresholds of Interpretation constitutes the theoretical framework of the study, whi

Abstract The Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a central role in the vertebrate immune system. The protein products of MHC genes present foreign peptides to T-cells, which then initiates the appropriate immune responses. MHC genes show extreme level of polymorphism and this was suggested to be maintained by selective pressures exerted by various parasites. Although associations between
The main purpose of this essay was to find whether there was a significant correlation between RCA in agricultural products and growth in GDP per capita, in the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. I used a modified version of the Solow model to estimate the presumptive relationship, and to see whether there is any convergence in growth between the countries. Due to lack of reported numbers I did not
Varför vill duvan hellre falla än flyga? Under lång tid använde vi endast vår kunskap om flygplan för att förstå hur fåglar, fladdermöss och insekter kan flyga. Detta trots det är tydligt att de stela flygplansvingarna inte liknar till exempel fladdermössens mjuka embranvingar särskilt mycket. Tänk bortom klassisk flygplansaerodynamik, och du kan lära dig mycket om alla de speciella flygtekniker ABSTRACT Among small to medium-sized birds, intermittent flight is a common behavior, where pauses are inserted between wingbeats. This is believed to have the effect of changing the power output without having to change the wingbeat frequency. Small birds often perform bounding flight, where the wings are completely folded against the body during pauses, while larger birds can be found to glide
Social services work with violent fathers The objective of this study was to review and analyze how social workers, employed by the Swedish social services, work with fathers that are domestically violent and to discuss their views and perceptions on this issue.

EUs anslutning till Europakonventionen har varit föremål för diskussion ända sedan slutet av 1970-talet. På grund av bristande rättslig grund i fördragen, har anslutning dock inte varit möjligt förrän ikraftträdandet av Lissabonfördraget år 2009. Artikel 6(2) FEU föreskriver nu en skyldighet för EU att ansluta sig till konventionen under förutsättning att avtalet om Unionens anslutning avspeglar nAccession of the EU to the ECHR has been subject to discussion since the late 1970s. Due to a lack of legal basis in the treaties, accession has not been possible until the entering into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009. Article 6(2) TEU now stipulates an obligation for the Union to accede to the Convention under the condition that the agreement relating to the accession makes provisions for
The paper introduces the philosophy and current status of a benchmark for the evaluation of control strategies in wastewater treatment plants and also the forthcoming developments and future perspectives. The work has been carried out within the framework of two COST Actions (682 and 624) and in close collaboration with the IWA Task Group on Respirometry. The benchmark is a platform-independent si
Cytochromes of the c type in the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis are all membrane anchored, with their heme domains exposed on the outer side of the cytoplasmic membrane. They are distinguished from other cytochromes by having heme covalently attached by two thioether bonds. The cysteinyls in the heme-binding site (CXXCH) in apocytochrome c must be reduced in order for the covalent attac
