I det här avsnittet berättar Emilie om hur det är att studera på universitetet när man inte ser och tar sig fram med rullstol. Emelie berättar också om sin väg till universitetsstudier, farhågor och förväntningar. Hon tar också upp utmaningar på vägen och vilket stöd och anpassningar som har behövts för att göra studierna tillgängliga. I avsnittet pratar vi också om små saker som har stor betydels
Amassing the available solar energy over the Sahara desert, through the installation of a large-scale solar farm, would satisfy the world’s current electricity needs. However, such land use changes may affect the global carbon cycle, possibly offsetting mitigation efforts. Here a fully coupled Earth System model EC-Earth was used to investigate the impact of a Saharan solar farm on the terrestrial
Critical IS research agendas are more important than ever if we wish to uncover the unanticipated and potentially harmful consequences of digital technologies. Developed from Michel Foucault’s late work, we introduce the problematization lens as a critical IS research strategy for exploring discursive commitments embedded in digital phenomena. The problematization lens is characterized by a geneal
Robert Alexy’s theory of legal argumentation is among the notable contributions made to mainstream jurisprudence in the last three decades. Remaining true to its rational discursive mission, it engages with both analytical positivism and natural law theories. A recent collection of essays edited by George Pavlakos explores Alexy’s theory from a number of philosophical standpoints, revealing its th
Risk and risk aversion are crucial concepts in finance. Models in finance typically assume a known probability distribution of returns, which does often not hold in reality. This papers aims to measure the uncertainty surrounding the probability distribution in equity markets and to evaluate if such uncertainty is priced. Our study defines uncertainty as the volatility of the option implied volati
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) packages its micrometers-long double-stranded DNA genome into a nanometer-scale protein shell, termed the capsid. Upon confinement within the capsid, neighboring DNA strands experience repulsive electrostatic and hydration forces as well as bending stress associated with the tight curvature required of packaged DNA. By osmotically suppressing DNA release from HS
A body of evidence points towards a close connection between susceptibility to fractures and osteoporosis. The incidence of osteoporotic fractures, both in absolute figures and in age-specific figures, has increased worldwide throughout this century. Although some reports show that the age-specific incidence is levelling-off, there will be a continuously increasing number of individuals with such
Objective: To investigate the association between the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) cognitive factors and cognition assessed by neuropsychological tests. Method: Ninety patients with a psychotic illness, the majority having a schizophrenia diagnosis, were assessed with PANSS ratings and tested by a comprehensive computerized neuropsychological test battery, EuCog. Results: Test perf
An insight into the proteome status of today is presented, covering aspects of market values, new scientific literature sources, new technology initiatives and future developments. The authors give a personal view of the importance and the expected progress of microtechnology in proteome research. The background to some of the fundamental analytical technologies where for example, chromatography h
