The tightened security restrictions after the “911” terrorist attacks must clearly have repercussions for privacy, almost regardless of how this term is conceptualised. The notably fluid essentials of the privacy-term makes it hard to evaluate the actual impact of new regulation as a shared point of reference is in fact lacking (its definition has been a popular topic for vicious debate and acute
Many filamentous organisms, such as fungi, grow by tip-extension and by forming new branches behind the tips. A similar growth mode occurs in filamentous bacteria, including the genus Streptomyces, although here our mechanistic understanding has been very limited. The Streptomyces protein DivIVA is a critical determinant of hyphal growth and localizes in foci at hyphal tips and sites of future bra
This chapter applies a critical feminist theory of intersectionality to analyse the climate policy efforts of two Swedish cities: Gothenburg and Malmö. As cities committed to ambitious climate goals, they are regarded as frontrunners. Actors in both cities acknowledge the challenges posed by organisational structures as they have made efforts to integrate measures, attempting to work more holistic
Thermal performance curves (TPCs) capture how population growth depends on temperature. When temperatures increase, such as during global change, TPCs may evolve to match new environmental temperatures. While previous studies mostly focus on population growth rate TPCs, evolution can also be strongly trait-dependent and require a multi-trait analysis. Here, we empirically tested how TPCs and multi
This paper studies the relationship between Thai-Cambodia border tensions and cooperation against online fraud from February 2021 to February 2026. Online fraud has become a serious cross-border problem in Southeast Asia, and Thailand and Cambodia both have reasons to cooperate against scam compounds and related criminal networks. At the same time, their relationship is shaped by a long history of
Social insects such as termites live in colonies in which cooperation is assumed by all individuals developing into castes to which specific tasks are allocated. Little has been reported about molecular aspects underlying termite caste-specific gene expression. Genetic regulation has recently been hypothesized to govern caste-specific traits and physiology in social insects. Cytochrome c oxidase (
DNA chemical and physical networks have been investigated with respect to their stability and swelling, and rheological properties. Chemical networks were prepared by cross-linking DNA with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE), and physical networks by association with cationic polymers. Both types of gels display strong elastic properties and have a shear thinning behaviour. Addition of cation
I kursen ETS170 kravhantering erbjuds studenterna möjligheten att genomföra praktikprojekt i samarbete med näringslivet. Praktikprojekten utgör 2 av 5 poäng och genomförs i grupper av 3-5 studenter. I dessa skarpa projekt tillämpar studenterna teorin i kursen på verkliga industriella problem och får genom stort eget ansvar prova sina förmågor att gå från teori till praktisk handling i en verklig i
Zeaxanthin, a carotenoid in the xanthophyll cycle, has been suggested to play a role in the protection against photodestruction. We have studied the importance of the parameters involved in zeaxanthin formation by comparing spinach plants grown in low light (100 to 250 mol m-2 s-1) to plants transferred to high light (950 mol m-2 s-1). Different parameters were followed for a total of 11 days. Our
This paper presents a computational study of the combustion process of wood pellets in a small-scale grate fired furnace. The objectives were to obtain detailed information on the combustion characteristics and NO formation in the furnace, and to examine the effect of secondary air on the combustion process. The simulation results were compared with experimental data in terms of flame temperature
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen presenterar en experimentell studie av urlakning av betong orsakat av vatten som tränger igenom betongen, eller av diffusion av joner till vatten på uppströmssidan. Urlakningsförloppet och dess effekter modelleras med finita-element-metoden.
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen (DON) derived from aquatic and terrestrial vascular plants provide a major energy and nutrient source for freshwater and coastal marine biota. The bioavailability of this material may to a large extent depend on plant species. In this study, we have compared the bioavailability of DOC and DON sampled in two distinct stands of Typha domingensis and Eleoch
The fraudulent treatment of cattle with growth promoting agents (GPAs) is a matter of great concern for the European Union (EU) authorities and consumers. It has been estimated that 10% of animals are being illegally treated in the EU. In contrast, only a much lower percentage of animals (< 0.5%) are actually found as being noncompliant by conventional analytical methods. Thus, it has been propose
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a new observatory for very high-energy (VHE) gamma rays. CTA has ambitions science goals, for which it is necessary to achieve full-sky coverage, to improve the sensitivity by about an order of magnitude, to span about four decades of energy, from a few tens of GeV to above 100 TeV with enhanced angular and energy resolutions over existing VHE gamma-ray obser
En ockult våg svepte fram över Europa kring förra sekelskiftet. Poeten W.B. Yeats var, liksom den store auktoriteten på Tarot-kort A.E. Waite, medlemmar av the Golden Dawn, en sluten ockult frimurarorden, som hade grundats i London 1887 och som hade ett både sociokulturellt och litterärt inflytande i speciellt England och USA, men också på kontinenten. Sin inspiration hämtade Golden Dawn från renä
Den elektroniska handelns expansion, vilken vi ännu endast sett upptakten till, kräver uträtande av åtskilliga frågetecken från skattemässig synpunkt. Skattesystemen av idag utformades i ett samhällsklimat, i vilket handel re-gelmässigt bedrevs utifrån fysiska förankringspunkter, och gällande regler låter sig sällan tillämpas obehindrat i en elektronisk affärsmiljö, präglad av anonymitet och en oj
