We recently established that two midgestation-derived stromal clones--UG26-1B6, urogenital ridge-derived, and EL08-1D2, embryonic liver-derived--support the maintenance of murine adult bone marrow and human cord blood hematopoietic repopulating stem cells (HSCs). In this study, we investigate whether direct HSC-stroma contact is required for this stem cell maintenance. Adult bone marrow ckit+ Ly-6
I samband med införandet av brottsbalken 1965 togs uppdelningen mellan otillräkneliga och tillräkneliga lagöverträdare bort. Alla människor skulle från och med reformen anses vara ansvariga för sina handlingar och kunna dömas i domstol. Denna modell har under de senaste decennierna fått stark kritik av både verksamma jurister och statliga utredningar. En återgång till ett tillräknelighetskrav i stAs a result of the enforcement of the Swedish Penal Code 1965 the distinction between accountable and unaccountable offenders were taken away. Every individual was from here on to be considered responsible for their acts and were able to be brought to justice. This legal system has received a lot of critic during the past decades from both legal experts and from the Swedish Government Official Rep
I den aktuella studien undersöktes barns förmåga att med hjälp av verktyg använda tidigare kunskaper för att lösa en ny uppgift, genom en så kallad analog överföring. Uppgiften ställde krav barnets förmåga att bortse från vilseledande visuell information, till förmån för verktygets funktionalitet. 90 barn mellan 24 och 55 månader rekryterades från sju förskoleverksamheter i en svensk kommun. BarneChildren’s ability to access previous knowledge and use tools when solving a novel analogical task was examined. When confronted with the task, the children had to ignore misleading visual tool information and attend to its functionality. 90 children between 24 and 55 months from seven preschools were recruited. The study’s design was quasi-experimental and factorial, and the children were confron
The Swedish government has decided to start building high-speed rails. The objective of this study is to analyze the policy process behind this decision. This is done using Bacchi’s What’s the Problem Represented to Be approach, which is designed to investigate the problem representations behind any policy, as well as their underpinnings. Eight different problem representations have been found,
Sharia har blivit ett hett ämne i debatten om huruvida Islam är förenligt med den moderna värld vi idag säger oss leva i eller ej. De samhällen där Islam är den dominerande religionen uppmanas att lägga Sharian bakom sig om de vill bli accepterade medlemmar i det internationella samfundet. Sharialagarna är till stor del baserade på Koranen men också på sunna – dvs. profeten Muhammeds vanor och relOver the last decade, Sharia has become an intense subject of discussion. Especially considering the laws compatibility with the modern society we now are claiming to live in. Countries, where Islam is the dominating religion, are encouraged to look past Sharia in order to become worthy members of the international congregation. Sharia is derived from two primary sources, the divine revelations se
The aim of this master’s thesis is to examine how museum professionals perceive and relate to Swedens newly instituted museum law. The museum law (SFS 2019:977) came into effect in august of 2017, and at this moment there are no larger-scale studies examining the effects of the law. This thesis is intended to serve as a time document, reflecting the perceptions that existed in the spring of 2020.
Kommuner kan med stöd av 10 kap. 1 § KL överlämna skötseln av kommunala angelägenheter till privata utförare. Vid ett sådant överlämnande behåller kommunen huvudmannaskapet och det övergripande politiska ansvaret för verksamheten. Till skillnad från offentliga organ omfattas privata utförare inte av offentlighetsprincipen, vilket innebär att kommunen på annat sätt måste tillförsäkra sig informatioMunicipalities may transfer the management of municipal responsibilities to private contractors pursuant to 10 kap. 1 § KL. When such a transfer takes place, the municipality retains principal responsibility and overall political accountability for the activity. Unlike public bodies, private contractors are not subject to the principle of public access, which means that the municipality must ensur

The prospectus protects investors by providing clear information about the company, the shares, and the risks, enabling them to make well-informed investments. The essay focuses
Sundarban mangrove is the largest continuous mangrove forest in the world and is the habitat of an incredible amount of biodiversity. Biodiversity loss and degradation of this highly ecologically productive mangrove forest due to climate change will have a tremendous impact on the livelihood of the people living in the deltaic region. The present study was aimed to find out the dynamics of change
As part of a project aimed at developing models for photosystem II (PSII) in green plants, we have prepared a series of model compounds (7, 8, and 13). In these compounds, a photosensitizer, ruthenium(II) tris(bipyridyl) complex (to mimic the function of P-680 in PSII), was covalently linked to a manganese(II) ion through different bridging ligands. The structures of the compounds were characteriz
China’s strong economic prosperity and the EU’s economic hardship due to the financial crisis have generated tensions and uncertainty within the EU-China bilateral relationship. China’s view of the EU as a strong economic superpower has began to crumble, while it has become more assertive in international affairs. The effects of the financial crisis have made the EU realise that it might need Chin
The urbanization of landscapes and the increase in impervious land cover materials is known to cause significant changes in the landscape's thermal properties, typically leading to urban heat island (UHI). Although previous studies have investigated the impacts of land cover land use (LULC) and other factors on the urban land surface temperature (LST), the results of such studies are mixed. For in
Inverse stochastic resonance (ISR) is a counterintuitive phenomenon where noise reduces the oscillation frequency of an oscillator to a minimum occurring at an intermediate noise intensity, and sometimes even to the complete absence of oscillations. In neuroscience, ISR was first experimentally verified with cerebellar Purkinje neurons [Buchin et al., PLOS Comput. Biol. 12, e1005000 (2016)]. These
In 2005 the Swedish Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry (LIF) initiated a national environmental classification and information system for pharmaceuticals. This investigation reports the results from a survey, conducted among the persons involved in the start-up process. The aim of this study is to generate knowledge contributing to the clarification of the motivations, expectations, and in
Organic-inorganic heterostructures play a pivotal role in modern electronic and optoelectronic applications including photodetectors and field effect transistors, as well as in solar energy conversion such as photoelectrodes of dye-sensitized solar cells, photoelectrochemical cells, and in organic photovoltaics. To a large extent, performance of such devices is controlled by charge transfer dynami
