Despite the increased risk of thrombosis in cancer patients compared with healthy individuals, mechanisms that regulate cancer-induced hypercoagulation are incompletely understood. The aim of this study was to investigate whether cell-specific hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) 1α regulates cancer-associated hypercoagulation, using in vitro clotting assays and in vivo cancer models. In mouse lung and
Silver particle-free inks display immense superiority and potential over silver nanoparticle-based inks in the aspect of synthesis, flexibility and low-temperature processing, which has attracted considerable research interest as an alternative for fabricating conductive structures in recent years. Although recent research on silver particle-free inks has led to beneficial results, there are still
RF and DC characterization of vertical InAs nanowire MOSFET on Si substrates are presented. Nanowire arrays are epitaxially integrated on Si substrates by use of a thin InAs buffer layer. For device fabrication, high-k HfO2 gate dielectric and wrap-gates are used. Post-deposition annealing of the high-k is evaluated by comparing one annealed and one not-annealed sample. The annealed sample show be
Government agencies in Sweden are experiencing a communicative turn where notions concerning branding, image and identity have become standardized tools and concerns. Public relations, with its focus on persuasion and creating relations with external actors, is part of this communicative turn. This book is concerned with how government agencies practice political public relations in a more communi
Elevated basal insulin secretion under fasting conditions together with insufficient stimulated insulin release is an important hallmark of type 2 diabetes, but the mechanisms controlling basal insulin secretion remain unclear. Membrane rafts exist in pancreatic islet cells and spatially organize membrane ion channels and proteins controlling exocytosis, which may contribute to the regulation of i
This paper highlights the potential for basing participatory action research on priorities identified by communities. The case builds on a research project by the Social Science Medicine Africa Network (Soma-net) focusing on AIDS prevention among school youth in Kajiado in Kenya during 2003–2006. It became clear from that study just how complex it is to promote open communication on issues of sexu
Joseph Roth was a wanderer. Born in a Galizian shtetl, in the periphery of the Danube Monarchy, he went to Vienna, Berlin, and Paris, became socialist, monarchist, European, cosmopolitan. And yet remained East European Jew. Relentlessly on the move, and the embodiment of a Jewish and a modern destiny, Roth travelled through Europe and lived and wrote his novels and feuilletons in hotels and cafés,
Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to provide insights into, and guidance on, how to balance packaging standardisation and adaptation strategies in different markets in the fast moving consumer electronic goods (FMCEG) industry.Design/methodology/approach– The research was explorative in nature and was utilised in a case study format. The main data collection methods were a literature review, i
Background: Little is known about how parental gender equality early in their children lives can influence daughters’ decision to use contraceptive pills. Aim:The study aimed at exploring whether maternal working time and paternity leave in Sweden during the first two years of their daughters’ lives is associated with the use of oral contraceptives when they are adolescents or young adults. Materi
We report on the first storage of ion beams in the Double ElectroStatic Ion Ring ExpEriment, DESIREE, at Stockholm University. We have produced beams of atomic carbon anions and small carbon anion molecules (C-n(-), n = 1, 2, 3, 4) in a sputter ion source. The ion beams were accelerated to 10 keV kinetic energy and stored in an electrostatic ion storage ring enclosed in a vacuum chamber at 13 K. F
BDSM är ett samlingsbegrepp för de sexuella disciplinerna Bondage/Disciplin, Dominans/Submission och Sadomasochism. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda rättssäkerhetsbrister vid gränsdragningen mellan straffansvar och ansvarsfrihet vid våldsutövning i BDSM-relationer. De två nivåer som ska vara uppfyllda för att ett samtycke ska verka ansvarsbefriande enligt 24 kap. 7 § BrB är samtyckets giltigBDSM is an overlapping abbreviation of the sexual practices Bondage/Discipline, Dominance/Submission and Sadomasochism. The purpose of this thesis is to examine deficiencies in the rule of law regarding the boundary between criminal liability and discharge from liability in BDSM-relations. For consent to be a ground for exemption from criminal responsibility according to Chapter 24 Section 7 in th
Frågan om en kriminalisering av psykiskt våld har aktualiserats i flera lagstiftningsprocesser i Sverige. Någon kriminalisering har däremot inte kommit till stånd. I Danmark infördes emellertid år 2019 en ny bestämmelse i straffeloven som reglerar psykiskt våld i nära relationer. I uppsatsen undersöks svenska regeringens respektive danska Justitieministeriets argument som har aktualiserats beträff
This thesis addresses the sexual violence justice gap in Portugal descriptively by questioning how victim-survivors of these crimes experience and/or perceive criminal justice, including those that have resorted to formal law and those that haven’t Normatively, it reflects on the justice needs of victim-survivors of sexual violence and connects these needs to the restorative justice movement - an
Different approaches have been used to test capital structure theories empirically. In this paper the statement that Myers and Majluf (1984) discussed, that a low risk debt issue should affect the firm value less than a high risk equity issue, is explored and tested by applying an event study approach similar to the one Eckbo (1986) carried out on different kinds of debt issuances. There are also
Köp av sexuell tjänst har i Sverige varit förbjudet sedan 1999. Införandet av förbudet var en del i arbetet mot mäns våld mot kvinnor. Lagen har därefter genomgått en rad ändringar, senast en straffskärpning 2022. I december 2022 publicerade Norges regering en offentlig utredning där ett förslag på avkriminalisering av sexköp presenterades. I Norge inspirerades man 2009 av den svenska modellen ochThe crime of purchase of sexual services has been criminalized in Sweden since 1999. The introduction of the ban was part of the work against men's violence against women. The law has subsequently undergone a series of changes, most recently a toughening of the penalty in August 2022. In December 2022, the Norwegian government published a public inquiry in which a proposal for the decriminaliz
1994 infördes ett förbud mot etnisk diskriminering i svensk rätt. Sedan dess har Arbetsdomstolen prövat etnisk diskriminering i arbetslivet endast i 40 fall och arbetsgivaren har fällts endast i två fall. Detta utgör en väldigt låg bifallsfrekvens som skiljer sig markant från de allmänna domstolarnas bifallsfrekvens. Arbetsdomstolen har fått omfattande kritik om hur den tillämpar gällande lagstiftIn 1994, a prohibition against ethnic discrimination was introduced in Swedish law. Since then, the Labour Court has adjudicated ethnic discrimination in working life only in 40 cases and the employer has only been convicted in two cases. This represents a very low approval rate, which differs significantly from the general courts' approval rate. The Labour Court has received extensive critici
