Background: Embryonic stem cells (ESC) have the capacity to self-renew and remain pluripotent, while continuously providing a source of a variety of differentiated cell types. Understanding what governs these properties at the molecular level is crucial for stem cell biology and its application to regenerative medicine. Of particular relevance is to elucidate those molecular interactions which gov
International roaming has been a frequently debated subject in the European telecom sector lately. While prices on most other mobile services have been reduced by half during the past few years, roaming charges have remained fairly static since the service was first introduced with the birth of GSM. While generating large profits for Europe’s dominating operators, the situation constitutes a restr
Gränsöverskridande e-handel ger upphov till en del juridiska problem inte minst då tvister uppstår mellan avtalsparterna. Något som diskuterats särskilt bland rättsvetare världen över, är vilket lands domstol som ska ha jurisdiktion när avtalstvister uppstår i detta sammanhang. I Bryssel I-förordningen finns vissa delvis tvingande domsrättsregler som är tillämpliga då avtalstvister uppstår mellaCross-border e-commerce gives rise to a number of legal issues. One particular difficulty, discussed by legal commentators all over the world, is how to allocate jurisdiction when disputes arise over e-contracts. The Brussels I Regulation contains certain semi-mandatory jurisdiction rules which apply in relation to contract disputes between traders and consumers. These rules give the consumer a r
In 2001 the Doha Round Talks was initiated by the World Trade Organization. Development was the overarching goal. For several developing countries with a comparative advantage in agriculture, trade with such products is seen as essential to economic growth and thus development. In order to spur this development it appears to be particularly important that developing countries have increased access
During the last decades there has been an ever-increasing amount of democratic transitions taking place all over the world. In connection to this phenomenon, transitional justice has developed as a subfield in post-conflict peacebuilding, dealing with the judicial aspect of transitions. In applying theoretical constituents of transitional justice, this study examines the concepts of lustration (i.
Numerous post-conflict states in contemporary Africa are run by individuals who derive their origins from rebellion. Some take over or even improve existing state structures when seizing power, whereas others contribute to the fragmentation of the state. By comparing four insurgent movements that have managed to wrest state power; the NRA, the EPLF, the NPFL, and the USC, this study finds that soc
In this study I examine the ways that social policy and (step)family discourse are constituted by the cultural and legal priority granted to biological kinship ties. I call the discourses that perpetuate the primacy of biological kinship the politics of biology. The purpose of the study is to examine the ways that the politics of biology are constituted, expressed and challenged in Swedish late mo
When researched and discussed as a legal notion, sovereignty is difficult to define&semic as a strict definition will in all probability be built on subjective state values, and will also change due to adoption or denunciation of treaties, and changes in the overall international political climate. Therefore, as an effect, scholars have declared sovereignty as dead and, thus, of no value to th
Small-scale fisheries are highly important in terms of economic productivity and environmental relevance in Mexico’s Northwest. The Santa María Bay (SMB), in Sinaloa, México, is the largest bay in the state and is highly productive in terms of fishing and the economic activities derived from it. It is also home to endemic species and the region’s largest mangrove wetland. It faces environmental an
More than 400 million people in the world have type 2 diabetes, making it one of the most common diseases internationally according to the World Health Organization. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) is used to treat type 2 diabetes since it increases the sensitivity of insulin in peripheral tissues. The knowledge about the mechanism how TZD works is limited which has resulted in patients getting serious

This was done by analysing texts found on the official CIA website with discursive psychology methodology. Three main themes were identified, with thirteen subthemes. These related to how the CIA presented terrorists, terrorism, an

During the last decades the spread of the invasive species round goby, Neogobius melanostomus, has largely increased in the Baltic Sea affecting the ecosystem, biodiversity and species interactions. Round goby originates from the Caspian Sea and has most likely been introduced multiplied times via ships ballast water to different areas of the Baltic Sea. The establishment has had both negative and
As the climate crisis becomes more severe, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is increasingly seen as a viable option to help mitigate climate change. However, one risk with regard to CCS is that it locks us into the use of carbon-based energy sources and industry, creating a carbon lock-in. Looking at the German-Norwegian partnership to store German CO2 in Norway and to provide hydrogen in return,
This study explores the qualitative aspects of remittance-sending. The central premise is that remittances are a concept that is socially embedded and therefore needs to be explored beyond its fiscal characteristics. The research contends that there is a gap in qualitative research where remittance-senders are concerned and argues that it is essential to understand the experiences and perceptions

This thesis investigates the aspirations for the European Union’s future population composition through the European Commission’s proposal of the New Pact on Migration and Asylum. By examining six policy documents, this thesis investigates the migrant and citizen categories that are constructed and the technologies of biopower that will be employed to achieve the expressed aspirations. The researc
In working to reduce this increasingly intensified effect of climate change, one of the key strategies employed by different countries around the world is to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions from the energy sector. As they are one of the biggest contributors, the strategies include the employment of different mitigation actions and fading away from the conventional fossil fuel source to a mo
