In the 1930s and 1940s, Ukraine experienced political violence on an unprecedented scale. Political violence by the Soviet government and the German occupation authorities resulted in the death of millions, through starvation, deportations, and massacres, and left wounds which still have not fully healed. Independently of the Soviets and Nazis, mass political violence was carried out also by the O

The government of Kenya has committed to run on 100% renewable energy by 2030 as part of the new national development goals, and as a result, the country calls for the construction of additional energy plants. However, the construction of these energy plants have in many cases affected local communities who have been forced to relocate to other areas. As an example of this, the recent expansion of

The current Lambda Cold Dark Matter cosmology predicts galaxy growth by hierarchical merging, leading to galaxy substructure like tidal streams and dark matter subhalos devoid of stars. The goal of this thesis is to investigate whether tidal stream-subhalo interactions can leave observable gaps in the streams, and at which rate this might happen in a galaxy like the Milky Way. The stream-subhalo i

Of all the huge natural disasters that claimed the lives of thousands in Asia, the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 was the largest, estimated to have killed more than 230,000 people. The scope of damage brought about by this natural disaster urges focus on recovery and post-disaster reconstruction from several perspectives. Here we find an in-depth ethnography of Thailand and the role of culture and

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vävnadskallikrein (VK) är ett äggvitespjälkande protein som dels kan aktivera vävnadsnedbrytande enzymer som kollagenas och gelatinas och dels spjälkar kininogen till kininer (bradykinin och kallidin). Via bindning till speciella kininreceptorer (B2 receptorer) som finns överallt i kroppen, styr kininerna olika processer i de flesta av kroppens organ och vävnader såsom Tissue kallikrein releases pharmacollogically highly active kinins from kininogen. Many other enzymes may also release kinins. The aim of the study was to clarify the pathophysiological role of tissue kallikrein in acute pancreatitis. Two sensitive and specific radioimmunoassays for porcine and human tissue kallikrein were developed. A large release of tissue kallikrein from the pancreatic gland

For decades, accessibility to the physical housing environment for people with functional limitations has been of interest politically, professionally and for the users Guidelines and norms on accessible housing design have gradually been developed, however the built environment shows serious deficits when it comes to accessibility This study addresses development of a content valid cross Nordic v

The Transfermium Working Group (TWG) was set up in 1986 under the joint auspices of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP). Its conclusions, duly endorsed by IUPAC and IUPAP, were published in the following three reports:1. Criteria that must be satisfied for the discovery of a new chemical element to be recogni

This paper situates political assassinations by Western states in the global south in a wider discussion concerning decolonization and the progressivist narrative of international law. The paper looks at three generations of such assassinations, focusing on the international legal environments in which they took place and setting the parameters for both legitimation and opposition: the mid-twentieThis paper situates political assassinations by Western states in the global south in a wider discussion concerning decolonization and the progressivist narrative of international law.

Purpose: A degenerative meniscus lesion is a slowly developing process typically involving a horizontal cleavage in a middle-aged or older person. When the knee is symptomatic, arthroscopic partial meniscectomy has been practised for a long time with many case series reporting improved patient outcomes. Since 2002, several randomised clinical trials demonstrated no additional benefit of arthroscop

Since November 2012 all citizens in Uppsala County in Sweden have access to their medical record on the internet sight “my health contacts”. This is the first step in a EU deployment- project where a total of 12 different eHealth services will be launched over time. The IT director of the county has engaged himself in the idea of medical records and other eHealth services since 1997 and has had se

Popular Abstract in Swedish Utvecklingen av säkrare och mer miljövänliga processer är en av de största utmaningarna som den kemiska industrin står inför. I det här sammanhanget är katalys i tvåfassystem, bestående av vatten och organiska lösningsmedel, av största intresse eftersom den möjliggör en enkel återvinning av katalysatorn samtidigt som den minskar skadliga utsläpp och kostnader för återviThe steric and electronic properties of eight water-soluble phosphines (1-8) were investigated by different methods. Phosphines 1-6 were tested as ligands in palladium catalysed hydroxycarbonylation of styrene. In line with the proposal that a ligand with low basicity should facilitate nucleophilic attack of water on the acyl complex, the electron rich {4 - [Bis(2 - diethylaminoethyl)] - aminobenz

The aim was to investigate quality of life (QoL) in elderly persons newly diagnosed with cancer (65+ years) in relation to age, contact with the health-care system, ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL), hope, social network and support, and to identify which factors were associated with low QoL. The sample consisted of 101 patients (75 women and 26 men) newly diagnosed with cancer.

Spectral Doppler ultrasound imaging typically consists of a spectrogram, showing the velocity distribution of the blood, and a brightness (B-) mode image allowing the operator to navigate. It is desirable to have both high spectral and velocity resolution, so that details in the blood flow can be traced, as well as a high B-mode frame rate to allow for tracking of movements and to adjust the posit

This thesis examines contemporary heathland management in Western Jutland, Denmark, focusing on how diverse forms of knowledge – embodied, institutional, and scientific – shape management and conservation practices. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with shepherds and interviews with municipal staff, and Nature Agency officials, the study analyzes the negotiations that underpin the governance of the

Climate-focused study abroad relying on high-emitting travel poses a dilemma between study abroad and emission reductions. This study employs the three spheres of transformation investigating this dilemma through coding syllabi (n=156,) surveying educators (n=9,) and interviewing (n=14) Climate Action Network for International Educators (CANIE) affiliates considering whether studying climate chang

Resilience has become a recent buzzword among urban planners who intent to increase a city’s capaci- ty to function despite disasters. Yet, scholars have raised concerns about the impact of resilience strat- egies on marginalized groups which are unproportionally exposed to and affected by environmental harm. Power relations inherently influence environmental governance and its outcomes for equity
