Guatemala holds one of the world’s highest chronic malnutrition rates. The department of Totonicapán in the Western highlands, almost exclusively populated by indigenous people, has the most alarming chronic malnutrition rate of over 80 percent. UNICEF Guatemala launched the chronic malnutrition intervention program ’36 Months Zero Malnutrition’ in 2009. Through the application of the Development

Uppsatsen presenteras ur ett rättshistoriskt perspektiv. För att kunna ge en bättre bakgrund har en kort historisk bakgrund presenterats som sedan övergår i uppsatsens avhandling gällande de senaThe purpose of this essay is to investigate how and why the legislation concerning the sentence of life imprisonment for murder has changed in Sweden over the past 15 years, 1999-2014, and the thought process behind the changes. The investigation will be presented from a legal historical perspective. In order to explain the development a short historical background has presented the thoughts behi
Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer for men, making proper diagnostic essential. Using machine learning as a tool to help in digital pathology has become increasingly popular and helps to limit the high intra observer variability between pathologists. Due to the many cases of prostate cancer and the large differences between tumours, treatments have to be individualized for e
När åtal mer eller mindre enbart vilar på målsägandens utsaga, vilket är vanligt vid våldtäktsfall där bevisningen ofta hänförs till uttryck för bristande samtycke eller bristande uppsåt, är det domstolens ansvar att värdera utsagan och avgöra om den uppfyller beviskravet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att granska och analysera hur denna värdering bör utföras samt hur den går till i praktiken. Engelsk rWhen an indictment, more or less, depends on the complainant’s testimony, as it often is in the case of rape when the evidence relates to the issue of consent or mens rea, it is up to the court to evaluate the testimony and decide whether or not it meets the standard of proof. The purpose of this paper is to examine and analyse how that evaluation should be performed and how it is currently perfor
Åtkomst till bevismaterial är avgörande för att förverkliga det straffrättsliga ansvaret. Idag är en stor del av detta bevismaterial digitalt och i syfte att skydda och hemlighålla sådan information används i allt större utsträckning kryptering. Kryptering, som enklast möjligt kan sägas utgöra den digitala versionen av att låsa in material i ett kassaskåp, innebär att man utan den särskilda dekrypBeing able to access evidence is crucial for the realisation of responsibility under criminal law. In today’s world, a large part of what can potentially be evidence is stored digitally. In order to protect and keep digital information confidential, encryption is becoming widespread. Encryption, put simply, can be said to be the digital version of locking material in a safe, and basically means th
In a market with homogeneous products and no barriers to trade, arbitrage, in the form of parallel imports of pharmaceuticals, is expected to lead to a price convergence in the market as a whole, preferably downwards, as an effect of competitive behavior between the parallel trader and the pharmaceutical producer. Such an effect on prices have however only sparsely been shown in previous research,
In 1994 the Swedish Construction Code, BKR, was changed from being based on material to being based on function. This permitted constructing multi-storey buildings with a bearing framework made of wood, which had been prohibited since the end of the 19th century. There is now a growing in- terest of using wood as a construction material. In Växjö four seven-storey buildings, Limnologen, are under
Aktieägaravtalet är en rättslig företeelse som saknar uttrycklig reglering i lag. Problem kan därför uppstå vad gäller avtalens bundenhet mellan parterna. I denna uppsats undersöks i vilken utsträckning vissa överlåtelsebindningar respektive beslutsbindningar är bindande parterna emellan. Inom associationsrätten finns en grundläggande tanke om att aktier skall vara fritt överlåtbara. Undantag fråThe shareholder agreement is a legal occurrence that lacks explicit statutory regulation. Therefore problems may occur in what way these agreements are legally binding upon the parties. This essay examines in which extent certain transfer obligations respectively decision obligations are binding upon the parties. In company law there is a basic principle that the shares are freely transferable. E
Narkotika har sedan 1960-talet utgjort ett allvarligt samhällsproblem i Sverige. En skyndsam utbredning har varit en bidragande faktor till stor del av den grova brottsligheten i landet. På 1970-talet infördes målet om ett narkotikafritt samhälle i Norden, vilket sedan dess varit ledande för Sverige. Utmärkande för Sveriges narkotikapolitik är ett strängt och restriktivt förhållningssätt. Ett narkDrugs were noted as a serious public issue in Sweden during the 1960s with its accelerated expansion and conduciveness to heavy criminality. During the 1970s, the drug policy towards a drug free society was introduced in the Nordic region, and is still today advocated in Sweden. The drug policy in Sweden is known for the severe and restrictive approach. The drug policy has characterized the Swedis
Archaeological collections are crucial in heritage studies and are used every day for training archaeologists and cultural heritage specialists. The recent developments in 3D acquisition and visualization technology has contributed to the rapid emergence of a large number of 3D collections, whose production is often justified as the democratization of data and knowledge production. Despite the fac
Objectives: To compare the performance of ultrasound measurements and subjective ultrasound assessment (SA) in detecting deep myometrial invasion (MI) and cervical stromal invasion (CSI) in women with endometrial cancer, overall and according to whether they had low- or high-grade disease separately, and to validate published measurement cut-offs and prediction models to identify MI, CSI and high-
Mothers can influence prenatal conditions by varying the amount of nutrients, hormones or antioxidants they provide to their developing young. Some of these substances even affect the transfer of these compounds in the next generation, but it is less clear how different maternally transmitted compounds interact with each other to shape reproductive resource allocation in their offspring. Here, we
Objective To compare several methods of missing data imputation for function (Health Assessment Questionnaire) and for disease activity (Disease Activity Score-28 and Clinical Disease Activity Index) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Methods One thousand RA patients from observational cohort studies with complete data for function and disease activity at baseline, 6, 12 and 24 months were sel
In humans, each hemisphere comprises an overlay of two visuotopic maps of the contralateral visual field, one from each eye. Is the capacity of the visual cortex limited to these two maps or are plastic mechanisms available to host more maps? We determined the cortical organization of the visual field maps in a rare individual with chiasma hypoplasia, where visual cortex plasticity is challenged t
Data that defines IGHV (immunoglobulin heavy chain variable) germline gene inference using sequences of IgM-encoding transcriptomes obtained by Illumina MiSeq sequencing technology are described. Such inference is used to establish personalized germline gene sets for in-depth antibody repertoire studies and to detect new antibody germline genes from widely available immunoglobulin-encoding transcr
This research is triggered by the emerging ‘power by the hour’® paradigm, in which aero engines are effectively leased to airlines, with the manufacturing company remaining responsible for their maintenance and repair throughout their service life. By incorporating knowledge about the performance of existing products into the design phase of new products, it is hoped to tackle some of the in-servi
Adult human joint cartilage lesions do not spontaneously heal. Patients with isolated articular cartilage lesions make up perhaps some 1% of the total number of patients examined by arthroscopy. Symptoms such pain and locking, and the suggestion that the untreated lesions may progress to osteoarthritis form the basis for current attempts to repair articular cartilage by cell transplantation and ot
Data assimilation methods provide a rigorous statistical framework for constraining parametric uncertainty in land surface models (LSMs), which in turn helps to improve their predictive capability and to identify areas in which the representation of physical processes is inadequate. The increase in the number of available datasets in recent years allows us to address different aspects of the model
In the chapter the authors revisit one of the original topics in business angel research: to measure the scope of the business angel market and evaluate its impact on the economy, especially the financial contributions of business angels at the macro (market) level. This is an issue that has considerable policy relevance. Most policy initiatives to support business angel activities have been intro
