The implementation of iris scan technology in the context of humanitarian financial assistance in UNHCR-run refugee camps raises an array of legal questions. While the collection and storage of biometrical data in other contexts is often accompanied by a critical discussion about data protection and privacy concerns, the use of such data in humanitarian settings is often left uncontested. The in-d
SMS-betalningar var fram till den första februari 2013 en mobil betalmetod på frammarsch i Sverige då det var den mest använda mobila betalningsmetoden. I augusti 2010 infördes krav på att företag som erbjuder betaltjänster måste ha tillstånd från Finansinspektionen. Mobiloperatörer som förmedlar SMS-betalningar omfattas av detta krav och som svar till detta introducerade man tjänsten WyWallet. F
Polen är en Sveriges största exportmarknader, dit varor och tjänster för stora summor pengar exporteras varje år. Ändå är polsk rätt inte utredd i svensk litteratur och mycket sparsamt utredd i engelsk litteratur. Den här uppsatsens syfte är att jämföra svensk och polsk rätt avseende avtalsingående. Av redogörelsen framgår att de i många fall är mycket lika. Den polska avtalsrätten återfinns i civPoland constitutes one of Sweden’s biggest export markets; goods and services worth significant sums of money are being exported to Poland each year. However, polish law remains unexplored in Swedish literature and very frugally explored in English literature. The aim of this essay is to compare Swedish and Polish law regarding conclusion of contracts. From the account, presented in this essay, th
Geokronologi och paleomagnetiska studier är de viktigaste verktygen för paleogeografiska rekonstruktioner kring hur kontinenter fårhållit sig relativt till varandra under geologisk tid. Genom att jämföra s.k. polvandringskurvor och tidpunkter för storskaliga magmatiska händelser mellan olika krustala block (kontienter/kratoner) kan vi få en bättre förståelse av hur dessa block förhöll sig relativtRobust geochronology and well-constrained paleopoles are the main tools for paleogeographic reconstructions. Through the completion of so called barcode diagrams (matching of coeval events of mafic magmatism between blocks) and determination of the apparent polar wander paths, these studies provide a better understanding of the position of continents and supercontinents in the past. The robust U–P
We develop a representation of reverse-time migration (RTM) in terms of Fourier integral operators, the canonical relations of which are graphs. Through the dyadic parabolic decomposition of phase space, we obtain the solution of the wave equation with a boundary source and homogeneous initial conditions using wave packets. On this basis, we develop a numerical procedure for the reverse-time conti
Organometallic analogs of chloroquine (CQ) are of interest as drug candidates that may be able to overcome the widespread chloroquine resistance developed by malaria parasites. Two new chromium arene CQ-analogs: [η(6)-N-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)-N'-(2-dimethylamino-methylbenzyl)-ethane-1,2-diamine]tricarbonylchromium 4 and [η(6)-N-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)-N'-(2-dimethylaminobenzyl)-ethane-1,2-diamine
This report identifies fundamental problems to be addressed in order to build relevant clinical tests of human balance while standing. The stated purpose of these tests is identification of lesion site and/or definition of functional balance deficits in a specific patient. During a recent consensus meeting (ESCEBD), 60 researchers and experienced clinical users of posturography (14 European countr
OBJECTIVE—The purpose of this study was to evaluate the metabolic effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of nateglinide in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and to identify a dose appropriate for use in a diabetes prevention study. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—This multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, fixed-dose study of 8 weeks’ duration was performed in a total of
The cone snail is the only invertebrate system in which the vitamin K-dependent carboxylase (or gamma-carboxylase) and its product gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) have been identified. It remains the sole source of structural information of invertebrate gamma-carboxylase substrates. Four novel Gla-containing peptides were purified from the venom of Conus textile and characterized using biochemica
As climate change and unsustainable waste practices present major global challenges, effective waste management in developing countries becomes critically important. In South Africa, organic waste constitutes a significant share of general waste and is often landfilled, contributing to methane emissions and serious health risks for the population. In response, the Western Cape province has introdu
Forest plantations play a crucial role in the livelihoods of Rwandan people. They provide valuable wood resources, such as timber and biomass energy. The first plantations created in the colonial period from 1920 to 1948 contained only exotic Eucalyptus species, which is thought to out-perform native species in terms of more rapid wood production. Over time, this resulted in the domination of non-
Aquaporins of the TIP subfamily (Tonoplast Intrinsic Proteins) have been suggested to facilitate permeation of water and ammonia across the vacuolar membrane of plants, allowing the vacuole to efficiently sequester ammonium ions and counteract cytosolic fluctuations of ammonia. Here, we report the structure determined at 1.18 Å resolution from twinned crystals of Arabidopsis thaliana aquaporin AtT
Popular Abstract in Swedish Projektet har for avsikt att vardera den elektriska overledningen mellan hjartats formak och hur forsamring av denna overledning bidrar till uppkomsten av attackvis pakommande formaks- flimmer. Studierna har anvant sig av ekg- registreringar fran kroppsytan, registreringar fran hjartats insida, anatomiska dissektionsstudier och djurexperiment. Slutsatser 1. OfiltreratThe aim of this thesis was to evaluate the role of interatrial conduction defects in the genesis of lone paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) using combined approach of non-invasive signal-averaged P-wave ECG, invasive electrophysiological (EP) studies, anatomical studies and animal experiments. Non-filtered signal-averaged P-wave ECG revealed irregularities in orthogonal P-wave morphology and the
Allergic rhinitis is an inflammation in the nose caused by overreaction of the immune system to allergens in the air. Managing allergic rhinitis symptoms is challenging and requires timely intervention. The following are major questions often posed by those with allergic rhinitis: How should I prepare for the forthcoming season? How will the season's severity develop over the years? No country yet
The El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influences the global climate and the variability in the terrestrial carbon cycle on interannual timescales. Two different expressions of El Niño have recently been identified: (i) central Pacific (CP) and (ii) eastern Pacific (EP). Both types of El Niño are characterised by above-average sea surface temperature anomalies at the respective locations. Studi
A new setup for burning velocity measurements of liquid fuels at elevated pressures using the Heat Flux method has been constructed. The burner design has been improved comparing to previous studies in this and other laboratories. Laminar burning velocities were determined experimentally for ethanol+air and methanol+air mixtures over a range of conditions including equivalence ratio (0.8 to 1.3),
Wave climate data for the Swedish provinces Skane and Halland, were hindcast using SWAN, a third-generation spectral wave model. The 40-year wave dataset, from 1979 to 2019, is made available through an open-access data portal (https://gis.sgi.se/vagmodell/). The wave data has a three-hour resolution and includes significant wave height, peak wave period, and wave direction. The wave model domain
Semialgebraic proof systems have been studied extensively in proof complexity since the late 1990s to understand the power of Gröbner basis computations, linear and semidefinite programming hierarchies, and other methods. Such proof systems are defined alternately with only the original variables of the problem and with special formal variables for positive and negative literals, but there seems t
We study the organic aerosol (OA) budget in a tropical forest by analyzing a case that is representative for the OP3 campaign at Borneo. A model is designed that combines the essential dynamical and chemical processes that drive the diurnal evolution of reactants in the atmospheric boundary layer (BL). In this way, the model simultaneously represents the effects and interactions of various dynamic
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a highly pruritic, chronic inflammatory skin disease. The diagnosis is made using evaluated clinical criteria. Disease activity and burden are best measured with a composite score, assessing both objective and subjective symptoms, such as SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD). AD management must take into account clinical and pathogenic variabilities, the patient’s age and a
