I Sverige finns inget direkt förbud mot att bränna religiösa skrifter, vilket det däremot finns i Finland. Att bränna religiösa skrifter är en form av hädelse, och det är en sådan typ av lagstiftning som Finland har. Att häda innebär att kränka Gud eller ett annat religiöst föremål. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hädelselagstiftningens historia i Sverige och Fin-land. FrågeställningarnaIn Sweden, there is no direct prohibition against burning religious scriptures, which however exists in Finland. Burning religious scriptures is a form av blasphemy, and it is this type of legislation Finland has. Blasphemy means insulting God or another religious object. The purpose of this essay is to examine the history of blasphemy legislation in Sweden and Finland. The research questions are

There are several thousands of old landfills in Sweden and they are often located close to cities on valuable land, three of these landfills are Lassabacka in Varberg, Härlövsängar in Kristianstad and Onsjöparken in Eslöv. On these landfill methane- emission and concentration measurements are done with an IR Chamber called ULTRAMAT 23, a probe and the gas analyser LFG 20. This was done to see if t

The aim of this study is to understand the local phenomenom of pits in pairs on the Early Neolithic TRB gathering place of Almhov, Malmö, by studying the distribution of the osteological material in regard to species and body part frequencies. The results show that it is probable that at least two routines to place the animals in these pits were used. One method was to dig two pits, excluding anim

In forest biomass estimations, three dimensional (3D) canopy structure data derived from images captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, has shown potential due to the flexibility and cost efficiency of the method. However, little research has been done for its applicability in bioenergy forest. In this study, a method was developed with the purpose of remotely estimating

In today’s society there is an obsession with finding happiness. According to the coca-cola company, all you need to do is open happiness1, but why stop with a can of coke when you can find your happiness on a dating site. It even seems to come in edible form in your local shop. But what exactly is happiness? De Saussure spoke of “the arbitrary nature of the sign” as a two part model; “the signifi

Åberopandet av bevis i de svenska domstolarna styrs av principen om fri bevisföring, som ger parterna rätt att presentera de bevis de önskar, utan krav om att beviset ska ha tillkommit i enlighet med viss reglering. Från denna princip finns dock vissa undantag. Bevis som härstammar från en anonym källa har ansetts utgöra ett sådant undantag, på grund av oförenligheten med processrättens krav och pThe presenting of evidence within Swedish courts is controlled by the principle of free production of evidence, which gives the parties a right to refer to any evidence, without any requirements regarding its conception. There are however a few exceptions. Evidence originating from anonymous sources has been considered an exception, due to the discrepancy between such evidence and the principles o

Introduction: Under-dosing is a recognized problem with current nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). Therefore, a new 6mg nicotine gum has been developed. To compare the nicotine uptake from the 6mg gum versus currently available NRT products, two pharmacokinetic studies were performed.Methods: In one randomized crossover study, 44 healthy adult smokers received single doses of 6, 4, and 2mg nicoti

Time series from Landsat and Sentinel-2 satellites have great potential for modeling vegetation seasonality. However, irregular time sampling and frequent data loss due to clouds, snow, and short growing seasons, makes this modeling a challenge. We describe a new method for modeling seasonal vegetation index dynamics from satellite time series data. The method is based on box constrained separable

OBJECTIVES: Patients diagnosed with RA have been at an increased risk of many cancers and at a decreased risk of some cancers. We planned to revisit the theme by using a nation-wide population of RA patients.METHODS: An RA research database was constructed by identifying hospitalized RA patients from the Hospital Discharge Register and cancer patients from the Cancer Registry. Earlier studies from

Background: Following reversal of short periods of ureteral obstruction (UO), glomerular and tubular renal dysfunction recovers with time. Diabetes mellitus (DM) affects glomerular function; thus, the ability of diabetic kidneys to recover from UO may be impaired. This study investigated the effects of long-term DM on the recovery of glomerular and tubular function, as well as permeability of the

In order to improve curve safety, warning signs are used to alert drivers to unexpected changes in horizontal alignment and speed variations. While all countries have standards and guidelines for signs, markings and delineations to ensure a uniform system, they do not use them in the same way and choices and combinations may differ. SAFESTAR project promoted a method for establishing uniform curve

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is a valuable stem cell source used for transplantation. Immediate umbilical cord (UC) clamping is widely practised, but delayed UC clamping is increasingly advocated to reduce possible infant anaemia. The aim of this study was to investigate an intermediate UC clamping time point and to evaluate iron status at the age of 4 months in infants who

It is estimated that over 80% of bacterial infections are associated with biofilm formation. Biofilms are organized bacterial communities formed on abiotic surfaces, such as implanted or inserted medical devices, or on biological surfaces, such as epithelial linings and mucosal surfaces. Biofilm growth is advantageous for the bacterial organism as it protects the bacteria from antimicrobial host f

It is becoming increasingly clear that many proteins start to fold cotranslationally before the entire polypeptide chain has been synthesized on the ribosome. One class of proteins that a priori would seem particularly prone to cotranslational folding is repeat proteins, that is, proteins that are built from an array of nearly identical sequence repeats. However, while the folding of repeat protei

During the last decade, building in wood has increased, mainly due to environmental awareness and targets to decrease the carbon footprint originated from the production of building materials. New technologies such as CLT (cross laminated timber) have accelerated the construction of multi-story wooden buildings. The CLT structure has been used both for housing and offices. Due to the extensive siz

Background: In cardiovascular disease, prevention strategies targeting standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (SMuRFs; hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, and smoking) are crucial; however, myocardial infarction in the absence of SMuRFs is not infrequent. The outcomes of individuals without SMuRFs are not well known. Methods: We retrospectively analysed adult patients with firs

The enoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) reductase (ENR) is a key enzyme within the bacterial fatty-acid synthesis pathway. It has been demonstrated that small-molecule inhibitors carrying the diphenylether (DPE) scaffold bear a great potential for the development of highly specific and effective drugs against this enzyme class. Interestingly, different substitution patterns of the DPE scaffold have b

Radiotherapy (RT) datasets can suffer from variations in annotation of organ at risk (OAR) and target structures. Annotation standards exist, but their description for prostate targets is limited. This restricts the use of such data for supervised machine learning purposes as it requires properly annotated data. The aim of this work was to develop a modality independent deep learning (DL) model fo

Assignment of the G3m(g) and (b) correlative amino acid residues was performed at the genomic level by direct sequencing of DNA from nine Caucasian individuals. Two oligonucleotide primers were used for subclass-specific enzymatic amplification of a DNA segment comprising a major portion of the second and third constant region domains (CH2 and CH3) fo the human IgG3 heavy chain gene. Comparison of
