In 2008 the National Library of Sweden made a decision to change the Swedish classification system SAB to the internationally used Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), a decision that was supported by the Swedish Library Association that recommended all Swedish libraries to make the change. The main reasons and arguments were internationalisation and rationalisation; less time should be laid on cla

Wood–water interactions are central to wood science, technology, and engineering. In the early twentieth century, the term “fiber saturation point” was coined to refer to the point of transition from the domain where wood properties change with moisture content to the domain where wood properties are constant. This conceptual model assumed that the wood cell walls are water saturated at this trans

Despite the so-called ‘great retreat’, in which people arguably are distancing themselves from the political sphere and civic engagement, the last two years has seen an upsurge in political activities. Outside the realms of institutionalised politics, i.e. political parties, lies a whole terrain of alternative political activities, including social movements and media institutions. Following the E

Popular science Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are a versatile group of non-methane hydrocarbons (chemical compounds made of carbon and hydrogen) emitted by vegetation. The most common BVOCs from plants are some chemical compounds like isoprene, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. BVOCs are involved in plant growth, reproduction and defense mechanisms. Besides, BVOC play an important rol

The New Economic Partnership for Africa’s Development constitutes a new initiative to development, created by the African states themselves with an ultimate goal to be more integrated in the global economy on more equal terms and thereby reduce poverty within the continent. NEPAD sees democracy, good governance and human rights as necessary for sustainable development. This thesis examines the ass

In this article, we study the ongoing redevelopment of post-war, modernist residential area Rosengård, located in Sweden’s third biggest city Malmö. We show how a planning and design strategy for this area has come to focus on a ‘compact city’ typology in line with Malmö’s strategy for creating a ‘near, dense, green and mixed city’. Such compact city typology emphasizes high density, urbanity, pro

I svensk rätt finns i dagsläget ingen bestämmelse om allmän skyldighet att bistå nödställda. Frågan har, historiskt sett, behandlats i utredningar och flertalet motioner har lagts fram men alla har gått i avstyrkande riktning. I brist på en straffsanktionerad hjälpplikt kan enskilda trots förmåga och hjälpmedel välja att inte ingripa utan att straffas. Lagstiftaren menar att försiktighet måste iak

As a primary driver of climate change, energy systems are often affected by the type of “self-perpetuation and lock-in” that characterize so-called ‘wicked problems’. Although it has a relatively clean energy system, Canada still has provinces (e.g. Alberta, Saskatchewan) that possess carbon-intensive power grids, and provinces that have experienced minimal renewable energy development other tha

January 1, 1999, a new sex purchase law was introduced in Sweden, Lag (1998: 408). The law implies that in a sex trade a crime is committed only by the consumer in the sex trade. The majority of consumers in prostitution are men and the suppliers are women. When prostitution is problematized it's usually from the woman's point of view and the perspective of the man is often overlooked. The

This paper is about the maritime claims of The Philippines and China in the South China Sea, a strategic place in the Southeast Asia and perceived as rich in natural resources. Nine countries have shorelines on the South China Sea. It is composed of four (4) island groups, one of which is the Spratlys, strategically located in Asia, with important and busy shipping lanes, rich natural resources an

The aim of this article is to articulate how legal processes, that produce assumptions about social realities which subsequently shape relations of inequality and oppression, may be explored using a critical legal cartographic approach. Critical cartography points to the duality of representation and construction that is innate to cartography, i.e. when portraying reality, maps are also making it.The aim of this article is to articulate how legal processes, that produce assumptions about social realities which subsequently shape relations of inequality and oppression, may be explored using a critical legal cartographic approach.

The participation by Swedish citizens in foreign armed conflicts is a topic that has been receiving an increasing amount of attention not only in the media but also in the political debate. The debate has first and foremost centered around those Swedish citizens travelling to Syria to join various terrorist organisations but the topic extends further, is far more complex and gives rise to a number

The investing industry has historically been built around the sole purpose to bring superior financial returns to investors. Due to the rising concern towards global social and environmental issues, investments promoting sustainable development have grown popular. Centring sustainable investments debate is the strategy impact investing. The strategy originates from more traditional ethical investm

A cell surface receptor that binds to the Fc region of IgA is expressed by certain strains of group A streptococci. The physico-chemical properties and binding characteristics of this receptor, called protein Arp, were studied. Like bacterial receptors that bind IgG, protein Arp has an elongated shape and no disulfide bonds. The affinity constant of protein Arp for three different molecular forms

Popular science summaryWater is very important for life. In order to survive every organism needs to control the amount of water in its cells. One of the main ways the cell regulates its water content is through aquaporins. Aquaporins are membrane proteins that allow water and/or small neutral molecules to enter or exit the cell. Aquaporins form a large family and are present in all life forms, hoAbstractAquaporins are membrane integral proteins that facilitate the transport of waterand/or other small neutral molecules across biological membranes in cells in allforms of life. Among the subfamilies of aquaporins in higher plants, the X IntrinsicProteins (XIPs) are the most recently discovered subfamily and the leastcharacterized. However, the aromatic/arginine (ar/R) selectivity filter and

In recent years, a subgroup of B‐cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP ALL) without an established abnormality (“B‐other”) has been shown to be characterized by rearrangements of ABL1 , ABL2 , CSF1R , or PDGFRB (a.k.a. ABL‐class genes). Using FISH with probes for these genes, we screened 55 pediatric and 50 adult B‐other cases. Three (6%) of the adult but none of the childhood B‐other c

This thesis is written in the field of family law and describes the best inter-est of the child in custody cases, by comparing Swedish and Polish law in the light of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The thesis begins with a descriptive part where the definition of the best interest of the child according to the Convention is presented. Thereafter, each country’s definition of the best

Pro-poor public spending is an important tool used for promoting development and poverty reduction. Yet, it has been hard to find evidence that public spending actually translates into desired outcomes. Public financial management (PFM) systems have been pointed out as one vital factor affecting public spending efficiency, but this has yet not been confirmed in any empirical research. By using new

Nudging has been discussed in the context of policy and public health, but not so much within healthcare. This scoping review aimed to assess the empirical evidence on how nudging techniques can be used to affect the behavior of healthcare professionals (HCPs) in clinical settings. A systematic database search was conducted for the period January 2010-December 2020 using the PRISMA extension for S
