Denna studie undersöker konflikten i Taranto, en stad i södra Italien som sedan 1960 talet har hyst ett av Europas största stålverk, Ilva. Under årtiondenas lopp har Ilva omformat Tarantos socioekonomiska och miljömässiga landskap och orsakat allvarlig förorening, som epidemiologiska studier har kopplat till överdödlighet och ökad sjuklighet. Denna kris har lett till en konflikt som också har utkäThis study examines the conflict in Taranto, a city in Southern Italy that has hosted one of Europe’s largest steel plants, Ilva, since the 1960s. Over the decades, Ilva has reshaped Taranto’s socioeconomic and environmental landscape, causing severe pollution that epidemiological studies have linked to excess mortality and morbidity.

This study investigates the long-term social consequences of early-life exposure to adverseconditions in nineteenth-century Poznań.

Both high-mountain rivers and wet-based mountain glaciers are considered effective erosion agents. They acted alternatively or simultaneously during the late Quaternary in the Tatra Mountains (West Carpathians) thus producing a vast amount of clastic material that was subject to deposition, reworking and transportation downstream. A small fraction of that amount of the material is still preserved

Aims/objectives: The study’s aim was to assess the association between different levels of leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and assess the association between socio-economic status (SES) and distribution of LTPA. Methods: The study was based on the Malmo Diet and Cancer Study cohort that included participants aged 44-74 years at enrolment. Demog

The molecular chaperone DNAJB6 has conserved serine (S) and threonine (T) residues, which are crucial for its ability to efficiently suppress amyloid formation of aggregation-prone amyloidogenic peptides. Substitution of the conserved ST-residues with alanine residues results in loss of this function. These functionally important conserved ST-residues are located in a C-terminal domain, which is c

The national legislation of each Member State of the European Union grants different tax exemptions for non-profit organizations. The Member States may independently determine which entities are granted tax benefits, under what conditions and to what extent these exe

Uppsatsen handlar om det allmännas ansvar när myndigheter på olika sätt lämnar upplysningar och råd till enskilda. Historiskt har ett skadeståndsansvar för det allmännas offentliga verksamhet ansetts strida mot statssuveräniteten och principen ”the king can do no wrong”. Det var inte förrän vid skadeståndslagens (SkL) tillkomst år 1972 som det infördes ett ansvar när det allmänna orsakar skada i sThis thesis is about the Swedish public bodies liability when they provide information and advice to individuals. Historically, liability for negligent exercise of public authority has been considered to be contrary to public sovereignty and the principle 'the king can do no wrong'. It was not until the creation of the Tort Liability Act (TLA) in 1972 that a liability when public bodies ca

This study examines the representation of the European Union (EU) and EU-Hungarian relations in the two largest daily newspapers in Hungary, Népszabadság and Magyar Nemzet.

The purpose of this study is to develop a general understanding of the areas of alliances and service quality as well as their relation to each other, through a consumer perception. Further, to discover more detailed and close up knowledge of customer perceived service quality within airline alliances. This is done by identifying particularly significant dimensions in the service process that have

Objective. We sought to measure the bone mineral density (BMD) of various regions in the maxilla before implant treatment and to investigate correlations between these values and the BMDs of the spine and hip. Study design. Eighteen patients were examined by means of quantitative computed tomography, and the BMD of the maxillary alveolar ridge was calculated. The same patients also underwent dual-
