Large-scale historical databases featuring individual-level causes of death offer the potential for longitudinal studies of health and illnesses. There is, however, a risk that the transformation of the primary sources into ‘data’ may strip them of the very qualities required for proper medical historical analysis. Based on a pilot study of all 11,100 deaths registered in Copenhagen in 1880–1881,
Habitat preferences and foraging strategies affect population-level space use and are therefore crucial to understanding population change and implementing spatial conservation and management actions. We investigated the breeding season habitat preference and foraging site fidelity of the under-studied and threatened, Baltic Sea population of Caspian Terns (Hydroprogne caspia). Using GPS devices,
This article aims to contribute to the growing scholarly literature on the implementation of shariʿa-based family law codes by describing and analyzing the gender implications of religiously inspired judicial activism in relation to judicial divorce through khulʿ. The article highlights two functions played by family court judges and other legal professionals. First, I argue that Egyptian family c
The proper function of mammalian mitochondria necessitates a coordinated expression of both nuclear and mitochondrial genes, most likely due to the co-evolution of nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. The non-protein coding regions of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) including the D-loop, tRNA and rRNA genes form a major component of this regulated expression unit. Here we present comparative analyses of t
Popular Abstract in Swedish Transportsektorn står för 63% av Sveriges använding av kol, olja och gas. Biobränslen som etanol, biodiesel och biogas står bara för 6.8% av energin som används för nationella transporter, biogas står för 12% av detta. Ökad produktion av biobränslen för transproter behöver inte betyda minskad produktion av jordbruks- och skogsråvaror för annat. Dels kan restprodukter anBiofuels are currently produced from agricultural crops, and an increasing use of crops for this application is expected in the EU in the years to come. The dominating crops cultivated in the EU for biofuel production today have a relatively large environmental impact. The European Energy Agency has identified several lignocellulosic crops, including industrial hemp, as more sustainable potential
Basal-like breast cancer is an aggressive subtype generally characterized as poor prognosis and lacking the expression of the three most important clinical biomarkers, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2. Cell lines serve as useful model systems to study cancer biology in vitro and in vivo. We performed mutational profiling of six basal-like breast cancer cell lines (HCC38, HCC1143,
Two nickel(II) complexes, [Ni(L)(2)] (1) and [Ni-2(mu(1,1)-N-3)(2)(L)(2)(DMSO)(2)] (2) [where HL = 3-(methyl-amino)propyliminomethyl-4-bromophenol, a tridentate Schiff base], have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The deprotonated tridentate Schiff base occupies three coordination sites o
Recent technological advancements now allow us to obtain geographical position data for a wide range of animal movements. Here we used light-level geolocators to study the annual migration cycle in great reed warblers (Acrocephalus arundinaceus), a passerine bird breeding in Eurasia and wintering in sub-Saharan Africa. We were specifically interested in seasonal strategies in routes and schedules
List decoding of binary block codes for the additive white Gaussian noise channel is considered. The output of a list decoder is a list of the $L$ most likely codewords, that is, the L signal points closest to the received signal in the Euclidean-metric sense. A decoding error occurs when the transmitted codeword is not on this list. It is shown that the list error probability is fully described b
A wireless body area network (WBAN) is a network of compact low power devices that are either wearable or implantable. A compact antenna with suitable radiation pattern and polarization is useful for WBAN applications. Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology can be used in WBAN applications that require high data rates. This paper present a small wearable (15x17x17 mm) UWB antenna designed and optimized i
Real-time bidding is getting increasingly popular for buying and selling online display advertisement. This has spurred a research interest into how to design optimal bidding algorithms, with advances during the last two to three years focusing heavily on reinforcement learning. This thesis focuses on creating bidding agent using recent innovations in combining reinforcement learning and deep lear
Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka i vilken utsträckning en arbetsgivare kan bestämma vad en arbetstagare ska ha på sig på arbetsplatsen utan att inskränka på den anställdas skydd mot att bli diskriminerad. Fokus ligger på att bena ut vad som ryms under begreppet arbetsledningsrätt när det gäller arbetstagarens utseende på jobbet samt vilka begränsningar som finns i denna fråga. En vinkel som undThe aim of this essay is to investigate the extent to which employers can decide what employees wear at work before restricting the employee's right not to be discriminated. The main focus lies in figuring out what the term managerial prerogative entails when it comes to the employee’s appearance at work including the juridical limitations in this question. One angle of the matter is consideri
Huvudregeln för påföljdsvalet i det svenska påföljdssystemet är att rätten ska fästa särskilt avseende vid omständigheter som talar för en lindrigare påföljd än fängelse. Fängelse är påföljdssystemet strängaste påföljd och skall väljas i sista hand. Som skäl för fängelse får domstolen enligt 30 kap. 4 § 2 st. beakta tre skäl: brottets straffvärde, brottets art och den tilltalades tidigare brottsliThe main rule in the Swedish sanction system is that the court must pay particular attention to circumstances that indicates a lighter sentence than imprisonment. Imprisonment is the sanction system’s strictest penalty and shall be used only as a last resort. As reasons for imprisonment the court may only consider three factors: penal value, crimes with presumption for imprisonment (will be referr
Denna studie ämnar att öka förståelsen för hur den alternativa mediesajten Avpixlat strategiskt kommunicerar sin bild av det svenska samhället, hur denna uppfattas av sajtens läsare och vilka implikationer det kan få för demokratin. I ett dialek- tiskt förhållningssätt undersöks kommunikationen utifrån såväl sändar- som läsarperspektiv, med hjälp av retoriska- och receptionsanalytiska metoder. Stu
Serum paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is a native lactonase capable of promiscuously hydrolyzing a broad range of substrates, including organophosphates, esters, and carbonates. Structurally, PON1 is a six-bladed β-propeller with a flexible loop (residues 70-81) covering the active site. This loop contains a functionally critical Tyr at position 71. We have performed detailed experimental and computational a
