The recent Company of Biologists workshop 'Growth, Division and Differentiation: Understanding Developmental Control', which was held in September 2011 at Wiston House, West Sussex, UK, brought together researchers aiming to understand cell proliferation and differentiation in various metazoans, ranging from flies to mice. Here, we review the common themes that emerged from the meeting, highlighti

Syftet med denna uppsats är att delta i den allmänna debatten och bidra i normbildningen. Studien avser att undersöka lämpligheten för IFRS for SMEs som underlag för K3 regelverket. Detta genom att tillfråga revisorer om vad de tycker i specifika jämförelser mellan IFRS for SMEs och ÅRL, samt de normer som ger råd om hur denna lag ska tolkas. Komponentavskrivningar och omprövning av restvärde, nyt

This thesis provides an analysis of three photographs from the New Mothers-series by Rineke Dijkstra, which serve as a point of entry for a discussion on how the maelstrom of visual expressions surrounding the contemporary subject is transforming his/her experience of what is real in relation to visual expressions. In the exploration, the concept of “the real” is examined in its construction and a

Passenger transport services constitute public utilities, exactly like all the other similar public networks e.g. energy & water distribution, TV broadcasting or postal services. The Member States in the EU have a keen interest in the development of passenger transport and therefore the financing of public transport is such an important economic, political and social issue. In its ideal form,

Till bilden av den unge Halldór Laxness (1902–1998) som enfant terrible på Island hörde hans normstridiga stavning och interpunktion, inte oväsentligt i ett land där språknormering gärna blir föremål för symbolstrider. Vid översättning normaliseras dessa språkliga nivåer regelmässigt, även om det finns skäl att anta en generell utveckling under 1900-talet mot ökad adekvans (≈ trohet) […] I förenin

A new chip design for handling and studying chromosomal DNA is described. Folding the nanochannels enables us to image an entire yeast chromosome in a single field of view. Together with existing mapping techniques our new design opens up the possibility of directly analyzing entire chromosomes in a single field of view using fluorescence microscopy. This would enable, for example, identification

In the last few decades it has become ever clearer that humankind faces many serious environmental challenges. As the corporate sector has been identified as an important actor to address these challenges, understanding why certain companies choose to adopt sustainability initiatives, while others do not, is an important question. However, little previous research has addressed how sustainability

Educational software based on teachable agents has repeatedly proven to have positive effects on students’ learning outcomes. The strongest effects have been shown for low-performers. A number of mechanisms have been proposed to explore this outcome, in particular mechanisms that involve attributions of social agency to teachable agents. Our study examined whether an expression of high versus low

Norovirus (NoV) is a major cause of gastroenteritis. NoV genotype II.4 (GII.4) is the predominant genotype in health care settings but the reason for this finding is unknown. Stool samples containing isolates with a known NoV genotype from 2,109 patients in Denmark (patients consulting a general practitioner or outpatient clinic, inpatients, and patients from foodborne outbreaks) were used to dete

In the ActivAbles and STARR projects we have developed interactive training tools for stroke survivors. A prototype system includes an interactive balance foam pad, feedback lamps and a step counting game app which all connect to a central server. The feedback is designed to be inclusive - designs are multimodal, and the setup is flexible and can easily be adapted. We describe the system and repor

Miljö och miljöfrågor har under den senaste tiden lyfts fram som ytterst viktiga för framtiden, inte minst växthuseffekten och dess konsekvenser. Att vara och agera miljömedvetet kan sägas ha gått från att ha varit ett val för ett engagerat fåtal till att ha blivit en etablerad livsstil för många. Miljöfrågor är också av stor betydelse för Simrishamns kommun. Under några sommarmånader mer än fördu

The first standards based on thermal manikin measurements were developed in the 1980s. In the Nordic countries tests for thermal insulation measurements of sleeping bags and cold protective clothing were developed. Similar standards were published in Germany by DIN and in the US by ASTM. At a European level, EN 342 describes test methods and requirements for cold protective clothing based on manik
