The article provides empirical evidence on the use of two types of security in medieval finance: conditional hostageship and the community responsibility system. Both exposed guarantors to imprisonment or confiscation. Evidence from Dordrecht shows the former was frequently applied but was not very disruptive. However, the latter community responsibility system did lead to reprisals against mercha
The human genome encodes 13 aquaporin isoforms with characteristic substrate specificity that are expressed at specific locations throughout the body. Of these isoforms, AQPs 1-4 serve important functions in renal water reabsorption. Consequently, specific AQP inhibitors have been proposed as 'aquaretics', a new class of drugs suitable to induce diuresis without concomitant salt wasting. Furthermo
The maximum likelihood principle of estimation applied to the linear black-box identification problem gives models with theoretically attractive properties. Also, the method has been applied to industrial data (various processes in paper production) and proved able to work in practice.This paper presents further developments of the method in the case of a single output. The reliability and speed o
Electron emission caused by extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation in the presence of a strong near infrared (NIR) field leads to multiphoton interactions that depend on several parameters. Here, a comprehensive study of the influence of the angle between the polarization directions of the NIR and XUV fields on the two-color angle-resolved photoelectron spectra of He and Ne is presented. The resultin
The purpose of this study was to investigate the adsorption mechanism in reversed-phase chromatography (RPC) of proteins and to develop a model for the effect of dual mobile phase modulators—a salt and an organic solvent—on this process. Two different adsorption mechanisms were considered: (1) pure association of a protein molecule and one or more ligands and (2) displacement of the organic modula
The question asked in this thesis is: what is the impact on the democratic legitimacy of the legal orders of the member states of the EU, where the meaning of EU fundamental rights is determined by the Court of Justice of the EU. It begins by developing a theoretical framework which reconstructs the deep structure of the law of the member states, in order to understand the ground of legitimacy for
In this paper I will explore two trends that I argue pose significant challenges to feminist technoscience studies as a knowledge-producing endeavour. The first is Sweden democrats’ use of figures as facts, with the hope of changing society into a fascist one. The other is the investment in natural science research infrastructure with the hope of solving societies most pressing problems. Sweden de
High salt concentration has been shown to induce increased electrochemical stability in organic solvent-based electrolytes. Accompanying the change in bulk properties is a structural ordering on mesoscopic length scales and changes in the ion transport mechanism have also been suggested. Here we investigate the local structure and dynamics in highly concentrated acetonitrile electrolytes as a func
IMPORTANCE: There is a lack of agreement on what constitutes successful outcomes for the process of health care transition (HCT) among adolescent and young adults with special health care needs.OBJECTIVE: To present HCT outcomes identified by a Delphi process with an interdisciplinary group of participants.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A Delphi method involving 3 stages was deployed to refine
New applications of a flow-calorimetric biosensor system, the enzyme thermistor (ET) are described. The ET measures the reaction heat in a small column containing immobilized biocatalyst as a temperature change of the effluent from the column. Since most biological reactions are exothermic, the ET has a very broad applicability and numerous assays of clinical as well as biotechnological interest h
The Ph.D. dissertation consists of three connected, yet independent research articles, which focus on the implementation of circular economy principles in public procurement. Motivated by a curiosity for dynamics in processes of implementation I chose to investigate how actors related to processes of public procurement can implement the circular economy principles as a default. The aim of the diss
This presentation highlights results from an action research project in a Swedish primary school. The aim of the project is to investigate digitally-based musical settings with young children in need of special support. Various digital-based music instruments were used to facilitate performing, creating and learning music, alone or in small groups. The theoretical background of the project is foun
Huvuddelen av alla pianoelever slutar spela inom 3 år på kulturskolan. Varför är frånfallet så stort och vad kan man göra för att förhindra det? Tidigare forskning visar bland annat att popmusik är den genre pianoeleverna helst vill spela och att det är viktigt att eleverna känner att de utvecklas och upplever en känsla av kompetens för att vilja fortsätta spela. Att spela ett instrument kommer ocThe main part of all piano students stops playing within 3 years at culture school. Why is the number of dropouts so high and what can be done to prevent it? Previous research shows, among other things, that pop music is the genre piano students preferably want to play and that it is important that students feel that they develop and experience a sense of competence to want to continue playing. Pl
Relationship marketing is getting more focus from researchers today. The idea of earning the trust and loyalty of customers by engaging in relationships has been put to practice in many retail areas. Retailers and researchers are stressing the importance of establishing relationships with their customers and are in many ways focused on the physical service encounter. Literature often suggests that
The popularity of cloud-based applications has increased the importance of performance optimized databases. In this thesis the database for a cloud-based ERP-system called BeX®Online is investigated with the goal to optimize the generation speed of reports in the business intelligence functionality in the case system. The result is a set of recommended solutions to bottlenecks and inefficiencies f
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om falska erkännanden kan vara en följd av de psykiska påfrestningar som kan uppstå när en häktad åläggs restriktioner. Uppsatsen vill även svara på om risken för falska erkännanden beaktas när olika förslag till lösningar för att komma till rätta med den höga restriktionsanvändningen diskuteras. Sverige har under de senaste decennierna fått återkommandeThe aim of this essay is to investigate if mental strain which is a result of solitary confinement may lead to false confession. The essay’s aim is also to investigate whether the risk of false confessions is taken into consideration in the process of finding legislative solutions to the problem with high use of restrictions. During the last decades, Sweden has received repeated criticism for th
The aim of this study was to investigate if spatial planning is a opportunity for social sustainability in the district Rosengard in Malmo. Rosengard was included in the so called million-program, which was intended to solve the housing crisis. The results of this spatial planning made Rosengard, and many other areas included in this program, segregated areas with social problems. The questions t
