Även om terrorism utgör ett växande problem kan få presentera en precis och heltäckande förklaring av dess innebörd. I en internationell såväl som akademisk kontext råder oenighet om vilka handlingar som bör omfattas. I svensk straffrätt saknas likaså en definition av begreppet; istället straffbeläggs ett stort antal terroristhandlingar under skilda brottstyper. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vadAlthough terrorism poses a growing threat, few can present a precise and all encompassing definition of the term. Internationally, as well as academically, there is disagreement about which acts should be subjected by the term. Swedish criminal law similarly lacks a definition; instead numerous terrorist acts are criminalized under separate forms of crimes. The purpose of this essay is to investi

Popular science summary: Climate change, and its effect on nature, is presently a hot research topic. Many studies have focused on the effect of recent climate change on breeding and spring migration in birds. Several bird populations have been shown to advance migration or breeding. It has been suggested that if they do not do this they might miss optimal breeding conditions such as peak food av

Popular science Mauritania and Senegal are two countries located at the border of West Africa. Their urban population is increasing significantly since the last decades because of rural immigration and natural growth of urban population. Using GIS and remote sensing techniques, the rate of urbanized area is estimated for two coastal cities of Mauritania (Nouadhibou and Nouakchott) and for three co

In this exam paper the question of the meaning of 1 Cor 7:36-38 is addressed, a passage containing one case in which marriage is recommended and one in which it is not. To answer the question linguistic, literary and historical analyses are performed within the framework of an evaluation of eight proposed interpretations of the passage. In the first interpretation, labeled (A), the unspecified mal

Purpose: The objective of this study is to determine whether or not board gender diversity influences the capital structures of S&P 500 firms. This is done based on the premise of female risk aversion and conventional capital structure and agency issues theories. With this foundation, we intend to close the knowledge gap regarding the effects of gender diversity on corporate boards. Methodol

Art funds are gaining traction as an alternative asset class, yet investors must often weigh financial returns against ethical objectives such as promoting diversity in the art market. This bachelor’s thesis investigates how these two motives interact by asking: How do ethical and financial drivers shape individual investors’ willingness to allocate capital to art funds? A two-part online survey

The selective separation of glycoproteins is essential in biomarker discovery, glycoprotein profiling and analysis. Glycosylation of proteins has a major impact on their structure and function. The heterogeneity of glycosylation patterns makes the glycomic profiling extensive, but nonetheless of upmost importance for the deeper understanding of metabolic pathways, cell signalling and the impact of

Glasarkitektur utvecklas ständigt med ökande krav på estetik, funktionalitet, och hållbarhet. Användningen av böjda glaselement blir allt vanligare i modern byggnation. Traditionellt tillverkas krökt glas av floatglas som upphettas över glasets transitionstemperatur och formas till önskad krökning. Denna teknik är tids- och energikrävande och därmed relativt kostsam. Av denna anledning används anGlass architecture continues to evolve with increasing demands for aesthetics, functionality, and durability. The use of curved glass elements is becoming increasingly common in modern constructions. Traditionally, curved glass is made of float glass that is heated above the glass transition temperature and formed into a curved shape. This technique is time- and energy-intensive, and consequently,

INTRODUCTION: Plasma biomarkers offer promise for improving the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and differentiating AD and other neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) like frontotemporal dementia (FTD) from primary psychiatric disorders (PPDs), particularly in younger patients. METHODS: In this prospective study, we investigated plasma phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217), neurofilament light chain

With the rapid growth of mobile communication systems, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology plays a key role in enhancing communication systems to meet growing data traffic demands. However, scaling the technology further challenges the system designers to balance design tradeoffs in order to provide efficient and low-cost communication systems. This requires efficient hardware

Genom en rättsdogmatisk och rättsanalytisk metod undersöker denna uppsats hur undantaget för text- och datautvinning (TDM) i 15 a § lag (1960:729) om upphovsrätt till litterära och konstnärliga verk (upphovsrättslagen, URL) ska tolkas i relation till träning av generativ artificiell intelligens. Uppsatsen behandlar även huruvida den nuvarande regleringen ger en balanserad avvägning mellan upphovsr

Aims: Pain and poor health-related quality of life measures serve as the primary indication for primary elective total hip arthroplasty (THA). It remains challenging to predict whether THA delivers the patient-anticipated improvements. Our study aimed to develop and validate statistical and machine learning prediction models of one-year clinical improvement in patient-reported outcome measures (PR

PURPOSE: Provision of adequate support is much needed to secure equal educational opportunities for students with developmental language disorder (DLD). Important perspectives on support provision and its impact on academic progress are held by school professionals, caregivers, and students with DLD. This study sought to further the current knowledge on the perceived relation between educational s

The origins and spread of eastern Mediterranean civilizations 4000-2000 years ago constitute defining events in human development. Interregional connections across the sea played critical roles in building increasingly sophisticated economies and societies. Research of trade and exchange among these first centers has relied upon ancient societies' archaeological artifacts. The most ubiquitous arti

Deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) and deoxyguanosine kinase (dGK) catalyze the first step in the intracellular cascade of fludarabine (2-fluoroadenine-beta-D-arabinofuranoside) and cladribine (2-chlorodeoxyadenosine) phosphorylation, which leads to activation of these prodrugs, commonly used for treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Thus, resistance to nucleoside analogues may primarily be due

Male moth pheromone-detecting receptor neurons are known to be highly specific and very sensitive. We investigated physiological and behavioral responses to female sex pheromone components in male Ostrinia furnacalis moths (Lepidoptera: Crambidae). Using recordings from a cut-sensillum technique, trichoid sensilla could be grouped into four physiological types (1-4), according to the response of r

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arbetet i denna avhandling presenteras i 6 olika delarbeten (artiklar I-VI). Artiklarna I-III behandlar två olika enzymer som bryter ner cyklodextriner, vilka är ringformade molekyler med samma beståndsdelar som i stärkelse (dvs sammanlänkade glukosmolekyler). Dessa s.k. cyklodextrinaser kommer ursprungligen från två bakterier som har isolerats i varma källor på Island.Two putative cyclodextrinases (CDases) were amplified from two moderate thermophiles isolated in Iceland: Anoxybacillus flavithermus and Laceyella sacchari. They were cloned, expressed and characterized. The expression of the former was optimized in E. coli by using a solubility-enhancing tag, NusA, and tuning of inducer concentration in the expression strain Tuner(DE3). The CDases were optimally

Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla levande organismer är uppbyggda av celler. Antalet celler varierar, från encelliga organismer, t ex jäst, till flercelliga organismer, som t ex djur och växter. För att en cell ska fungera och utvecklas måste cellen hålla den inre miljön relativt konstant trots kanske stora variationer i miljön utanför. För att kunna göra detta har celler utvecklat system för att tIn plants, 14-3-3 proteins are key regulators of primary metabolism and membrane transport. It was previously thought that the 14-3-3 isoforms were not very specific with regard to target proteins, but more recent data suggest that the specificity may be high. Therefore, identification, localization, and characterization of all 14-3-3 isoforms in the model plant Arabidopsis are important. We ident

Background: Prostate cancer screening depends on a careful balance of benefits, in terms of reduced prostate cancer mortality, and harms, in terms of overdiagnosis and overtreatment. We aimed to estimate the effect on overdiagnosis of restricting prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing by age and baseline PSA. Methods: Estimates of the effects of age on overdiagnosis were based on population based
