BackgroundCushion bush [Leucophyta brownii Cass.=Calocephalus brownii (Cass.) F. Muell.] is an Australian Compositae shrub that has been introduced into Scandinavia as a pot plant. The first case of sensitization occurred in a gardener, and the main allergen was identified as the guaianolide calocephalin. ObjectiveTo present the identification of the main allergen, and to assess the prevalence of

We studied ice-nucleating abilities of particulate emissions from a modern heavy-duty diesel engine using three different types of fuel. The polydisperse particle emissions were sampled during engine operation and introduced to a continuous-flow diffusion chamber (CFDC) instrument at a constant relative humidity RHwater=110 %, while the temperature was ramped between −43 and −32 ∘C (T scan). The t

Ethics, Science and Society: Challenges for BioPolitics is an international project of academic research, scientific dissemination, and social and political responsibility, sponsored by the Luso-American Development Foundation. Its main objective is to stress the importance of this triptych-style approach – ethics, science, society – to address some of the current and major challenges facing human

This paper presents and discusses the methodology and technical aspects of mechanical tests carried out at a wide strain rate range with simultaneous synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements. The motivation for the study was to develop capabilities for in-situ characterization of the loading rate dependency of mechanically induced phase transformations in steels containing metastable austenite.

Plasmodium falciparum malaria can cause severe anemia. Even after treatment, hematocrit can decrease. The role of autoantibodies against erythrocytes is not clearly elucidated and how common they are, or what they are directed against, is still largely unknown. We have investigated antibodies against erythrocytes in healthy adult men living in a highly malaria endemic area in Uganda. We found anti

In the history of DSS literature numerous of researchers have investigated the state of DSS and attempts have been made to develop an understanding for the role of certain critical success factors affecting the implementation success. However, the cumulative knowledge is in the literature suggested to be li-mited and regularly placing the end-user outside the centre of focus. This thesis have incl

Prostitution is a disputed concept, not in the way that it is not defined, for it is, but not in the sense that would be to many viewed as ethical as well as moral values of the modern society. From the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to the Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Person and the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Oth-ers to the Convention for the Elimination of All

Ur ett internationellt perspektiv har Sverige ett högt anseende gällande jämställdhet mellan kvin- nor och män. Trots detta finns det en generell löneskillnad på 12,5 procent mellan könen. Att det finns oförklarade löneskillnader mellan kvinnor och män kan förklaras med att Sverige har en könssegregerad arbetsmarknad. Statistiskt sett finns det oförklarade löneskillnader, men Arbets- domstolen har

This paper explores the influence of German Expressionism on Alfred Hitchcock's filmmaking, focusing on three key works: The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), Shadow of a Doubt (1943), and Psycho (1960). German Expressionism, characterized by its distorted sets, dramatic use of light and shadow, and emphasis on psychological depth, is a foundational cinematic movement that profoundly impacted Hitc

Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka och utreda innebörden av generalklausulerna i 7:47 och 8:41 1 st. ABL. För att underlätta denna analys har fokus riktats på att undersöka vad som utgör en otillbörlig fördel enligt generalklausulerna, att se huruvida en företagsekonomiskt riktig eller försvarlig åtgärd kan ses som otillbörlig, samt även huruvida generalklausulerna kThe main purpose of this thesis has been to examine the meaning of the general clauses in 7:47 and 8:41 1st sentence of the Swedish company act. To fulfil this purpose, focus has been aimed at investigating what constitutes an unfair advantage according to the general clauses, to see whether an economically correct or justifiable measure can be seen as unfair, as well as seeing whether the general

This thesis assess three different conditional variance models from the GARCH family - GARCH(1,1), EGARCH(1,1) and GJR-GARCH(1,1) - and their accuracy in making one-day forecasts together with Value at Risk. The study is made on the daily returns of the OMX Stockholm 30 index between 2002-01-01 and 2010- 12-31. A five year in-sample set was used to estimate the model parameters and to make one-day

Uppsatsen behandlar EG-rättens formellt icke-bindande rättsakter, s.k. soft law såsom resolutioner, rekommendationer och uppförandekoder, och dessas tillämpning och funktion. Mot bakgrund av EG-rättens rättskällesystem undersöks de tre politikområdena jordbruk, tull- och handel samt transporter och transeuropeiska nät. På respektive område beskrivs ett flertal soft law-rättsakter i anslutning till

Numerous studies in the international economic literature suggest that foreign trade has a large positive effect on growth. From the theoretical aspects there are several reasons to be¬lieve in both export- and import-led productivity growth as well as productivity-led exports. The empirical results have been mixed, with earlier studies indicating a strong relationship and more recent studies that

Kejsarsnittsfrekvensen stiger i många delar av världen trots den ökade risken som föreligger vid kejsarsnitt. Det är framförallt de kejsarsnitt där medicinsk indikation saknas som bidrar till ökningen. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att undersöka bakomliggande faktorer till att blivande mödrar önskar elektivt kejsarsnitt. Tio vetenskapliga artiklar har granskats. Resultatet visade att kvinnor so
