Something that all Nordic countries have in common is that journalistic work, popular culture phenomena and public debates resulting in subsequent political initiatives have served as driving forces in the development of academic research on the Holocaust. It is also clear that the field is heavily politicized, imbued with moral questions and highly diversified.The memories of the Holocaust have i
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry biological information from their parent cell to other cells in the body. To intercept and decipher this information necessitates the isolation of EVs from complex backgrounds such as blood or spinal fluid. Acoustic trapping has been previously demonstrated as a promising technique for EV isolation from cell media, blood plasma and urine. The acoustic fields stru
Aim: Grass-yellow butterflies (Eurema) are a group of pantropical Pieridae distributed throughout Asia, Australasia, Africa and the New World. However, little is known about their diversification, including the biogeographic mechanism(s) explaining their circumglobal distribution. We present the first densely sampled, time-calibrated phylogeny and biogeographic reconstruction of grass-yellows to c
The majority of the large hydro power plants in Sweden were built 1935 - 1975 and are located in a cold climate in the northern parts of Sweden. Since the power plants were designed for a service life of 50-100 years, some of them are soon to reach their estimated service life and some have already passed it. During a condition assessment to determine the status of the Porsi hydro power plant, con
Microplastic (MP) pollution is increasingly recognized as a critical issue in coastal environments, where complex interactions between ocean currents, winds, waves, and human activities govern the transport and deposition of synthetic particles. Although previous studies in Asia have documented MPs accumulation linked to riverine discharge, tourism pressures, and monsoonal circulation, limited wor
Modernitet och intermedialitet is the first major study of the Swedish modernist writer Erik Asklund (1908-1980) and his works. The thesis consists of an introductory chapter and three close readings of Asklund’s early novels Kvinnan är stor (The Woman is Great, 1931), Lilla land (A Small Country, 1933), and Fanfar med fem trumpeter (A Fanfare with Five Trumpets, 1934). In these novels, Asklund de
Meta Isæus-Berlin: The Animated Installations Torsten Weimarck At about the same time that I saw Meta Isæus-Berlin’s remarkable installation Ett vattenhem (A Water Home) at the Bo01 Housing Fair in Malmö I also happened to see Johannes Stjärne Nilsson and Ola Simonsson’s film Music for one appartment and six drummers which was shown as a supporting film in the cinema. It struck me that these wo
The TRIPS Agreement allows WTO Members to enact and apply appropriate domestic competition law to address IPR-related anti-competitive practices. However, these flexibilities in the TRIPS Agreement do not provide any specific guidance for WTO Members. The application of domestic competition law to IPR abuses in technology transfer varies a great deal between developed and developing countries, and
Although much attention in recent years has been devoted to methane (CH4) emissions from northern wetlands, measurement based data sets providing full annual budgets are still limited in number. This study was designed to help fill the gap of year-round measurements of CH4 emissions from subarctic mires. We report continuous eddy correlation CH4 flux measurements made during 2006 and 2007 over the
Our understanding and quantification of global soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and the underlying processes remain largely uncertain. Here, we assessed the effects of multiple anthropogenic and natural factors, including nitrogen fertilizer (N) application, atmospheric N deposition, manure N application, land cover change, climate change, and rising atmospheric CO2 concentration, on global soil
Aim The controls of gross radiation use efficiency (RUE), the ratio between gross primary productivity (GPP) and the radiation intercepted by terrestrial vegetation, and its spatial and temporal variation are not yet fully understood. Our objectives were to analyse and synthesize the spatial variability of GPP and the spatial and temporal variability of RUE and its climatic controls for a wide ran
Objective – To identify key factors affecting the probability of obtaining an interview and being hired for an academic library position. Design – An online survey was distributed via the following electronic mail lists: ACRL, LITA, COLLIB, METRO, ACQNET, COLLDV, ULS, EQUILIBR, and ALF. The questionnaire was posted via StudentVoice, an assessment survey provider. Setting – Academic libraries in
Trots växande insatser förblir kustnära anpassning fragmenterad och otillräcklig när det gäller att hantera sårbarheten hos dem som drabbas mest. Dessa brister är inte enbart tekniska utan även politiska, formade av konkurrerande idéer om vad som räknas som anpassning och vem den tjänar. Även om det finns ett växande erkännande av behovet för att förstå de olika sätt på vilka anpassning upplevs ocDespite growing efforts, coastal adaptation remains fragmented and insufficient in addressing the vulnerabilities of those most affected. These shortcomings are not only technical but political, shaped by competing ideas about what counts as adaptation and whom it serves. Although there is growing recognition of the need to understand the various ways adaptation is known and experienced, empirical
Sexualbrotten i svensk rätt kräver idag att gärningsmannen har använt någon typ av våld eller hot, eller har utnyttjat ett hjälplöst tillstånd. År 2003 kom emellertid Europadomstolens avgörande i Bulgariendomen, i vilken kan utläsas att varje sexuell handling som begås utan samtycke ska vara straffbar. Sedan dess har det i Sverige livligt debatterats om huruvida domen innebär att den svenska lagenThe sexual offences in Swedish law of today require that the perpetrator has used violence or threats, or that he has exploited a helpless state. However, in 2003 the European Court of Human Rights delivered a judgment in the case of M.C v. Bulgaria, which stated that any non-consensual sexual act must be punishable. There has been a legal discussion in Sweden ever since, regarding whether this ju
Dagens svenska våldtäktslagstiftning kräver att gärningsmannen använt sig av tvång eller utnyttjande för att straffansvar ska föreligga. Det har ifrågasatts om denna utformning av våldtäktslagstiftningen istället borde ersättas med en bestämmelse där samtycke ges en avgörande betydelse. Med en samtyckesbaserad våldtäktsreglering skulle den utslagsgivande faktorn för om ett brott har begåtts eller The Swedish rape legislation of today uses force as the delineator between non-criminal sex and criminal rape. It has been heavily disputed whether or not the force-based legislation ought to be replaced with the use of consent. In that case, consent or the lack of it would determine what is lawful or unlawful, regardless of any use of force. Despite the fact that the Swedish regulations on sexua
Enligt svensk rätt omfattas även poliser i tjänst av nödvärnsrätten (24 kap. 1 § brottsbalken), vilket gör att den kan åberopas i de fall där ett polis- ingripande slutat i skottlossning. Vid försvarlighetsbedömningen ska poliser och enskilda utövare av nödvärn granskas enligt samma principer, eftersom polisen rent straffrättsligt ska betraktas som privatperson. Det rättsliga utgångsläget är dock According to Swedish law, police officers and citizens alike have the right to self–defence (Swedish penal code, sec. 24 para. 1). This allows police officers to invoke the justification rule after shooting an attacker during an arrest. When judged, general principles of criminal law are applicable to police officers, and they are supposed to be judged as individuals. This dogmatic essay examines
Sveriges regering satte 2011 upp mål om att bli bäst på att utnyttja digitaliseringens möjligheter. Digitaliseringen av bygglovsprocessen har trots det gått långsamt. Bygglovsprocessen idag (2018) är en långsam, dyr och ineffektiv process. Möjligheten att söka bygglov med e-legitimation finns endast hos 30 procent av kommunerna och 60 procent har någon slags e-tjänst ansökan. Ansökningarna innebärThe Swedish government set up a goal in 2011 of making the best use of digitization opportunities. The digitization of the building permit process has, however, been slow. The process of building permits is today (2018) a slow, expensive and inefficient process. The possibilities to apply for building permits with e-credentials is only available in 30 percent of municipalities and 60 percent have
Den här uppsatsen behandlar förflutna framtider. I fokus för undersökningen står en större svensk liberal och urban kultursfär som inkluderar delar av Sverige och Svensk-Amerika under 1900-talets fyra första decennier. Undersökningens källmaterial utgörs av nyårskrönikor i Dagens Nyheter och Svenska Amerikanska Posten under årsskiftena 1904 till 1935. Metodiskt undersöks materialet komparativt genThis thesis examines the cultures of the future (framtidskulturer) during the first four decades of the 20th century in a large Swedish urban and liberal cultural sphere including Sweden and Swedish America. The source material consists of New Year chronicles in the newspapers Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Amerikanska Posten between 1904 and 1935. By examining the historical futures in the Swedish an
This study seeks to investigate how an affective perspective can contribute to an understand- ing of the space of Kanalens Kvarter in Albertslund, Denmark. From the perspective of the phenomenological approach, the thesis explores the aesthetics, social boundaries, and the use of the space in Kanalens Kvarter. I found a knowledge gap within the literature on street culture because emotions are put
