The Palestine problem was one of the first conflicts the newly formed United Nations (UN) was obliged to contend with. Secretary-General Trygve Lie played an active part in the proceedings, and his consistent support for the partition plan and Israeli UN membership has led to charges of Zionist sympathies and that his actions were based on this personal political bias. What explains the UN Secreta
Cubomedusae have a total of 24 eyes of four morphologically different types. Two of these eye types are camera-type eyes (upper and lower lens-eye), while the other two eye types are simpler pigment pit eyes (pit and slit eye). Here, we give a description of the visual system of the box jellyfish species Chiropsella bronzie and the optics of the lens eyes in this species. One aim of this study is
This study assessed the ability of the tongue tip to accurately select intra-oral sensors embedded in a upper palatal interface of 19 able-bodied volunteers. Tongue selectivity performance measures were determined for three different tongue-computer interface layouts. Assessment of intra-oral target selection speed and accuracy revealed that performance was dependent on the location and distance b
The expansion in the supply of energy services over the last couple of centuries has reduced the apparent importance of energy in economic growth despite energy being an essential production input. We demonstrate this by developing a simple extension of the Solow growth model, which we use to investigate 200 years of Swedish data. We find that the elasticity of substitution between a capital-labor
The incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) promotes glucose homeostasis and enhances -cell function. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, which inhibit the physiological inactivation of endogenous GLP-1, are used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Using the Metabochip, we identified three novel genetic loci with large effects (30-40%) on G
Ectoedemia argyropeza (Zeller, 1839) possesses a compound eye that exhibits features of both apposition and superposition type eyes. Like apposition eyes, the eye of E. argyropeza lacks a clear-zone, which in superposition eyes separates the distal dioptric from the proximal light-perceiving structures. On the other hand, a tracheal layer around the proximal ends of the rhabdom as well as a well-d
The very neutron-rich oxygen isotopes O-25 and O-26 are investigated experimentally and theoretically. The unbound states are populated in an experiment performed at the R3B-LAND setup at GSI via proton-knockout reactions from F-26 and F-27 at relativistic energies around 442 and 414 MeV/nucleon, respectively. From the kinematically complete measurement of the decay into O-24 plus one or two neutr
Bile duct injury is an important unsolved problem of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, occurring with unacceptable frequency even in the hands of experienced surgeons. This suggests that a systemic predisposition to the injury is intrinsic to cholecystectomy and indicates that an analysis of the psychology and heuristics of surgical decision-making in relation to duct identification may be a guide to
The main obligation under Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) is the obligation of registration. The company responsible for import and manufacture, as well as an only representative are registrants. To carry out the registration obligation means t
The strive for international justice have existed for a very long time. We have seen attempts been made to achieve this goal by for example the creations of the Tribunals for former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. The idea has been to prosecute and hold war criminals responsible for their actions. The most recent attempt to establish an international legal system was first made in 1989, when the process of
Over the last decades business has become increasingly globalised and corporations are no longer limited by national boundaries. As a consequence many states have abolished their exchange controls, that is to say, the rules that controlled the transferring of money or other assets abroad. The abolition of exchange controls, however, provides opportunities for tax avoidance. Since companies are tax
Fundamental rights and the four fundamental freedoms co-exist in Community law. These two fundamental interests have been placed on the highest normative level by the ECJ. Notwithstanding its similarities, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms are two different notions, where the former is typically human rights and the latter applies primarily to economic circumstances. When these two funda
Pharmaceuticals have been gaining environmental attention on a global scale. It is estimated that approximately 4,000 medical compounds are used in the drugs applied today. As middle hand providers, licensed physicians are the third to last representative in the distribution chain of prescription drugs. The aim of this study was to examine if Swedish and Danish physicians consider environmental ef
Problem description: Mature industrial enterprises stand before the challenge of developing strategies and competitive advantage through their logistics services. The business development within logistics and distribution services is fast and rapidly changing as the customer experience is becoming increasingly important and the additional services are becoming an integrated part of the product off
Biological invasion is one of the main drivers of species extinctions. Therefore, measures are implemented to reduce the abundance of the invading species with the goal to mitigate its impact. These measures often lead to high labour and economic expenditures yet their effectiveness are often uncertain. To evaluate and thereby improve the mitigation of invasions, it is essential to understand the
The aim of this thesis has been the examination of the productivity growth patterns through the process of structural change and within sectors productivity improvements for Finland over the period of 1975 to 2011. By connecting theories of “General Purpose Technologies”, “Creative Destruction”, and “Techno-economic paradigm” with the ICT emergence, the notion of ICT intensity sectors had emerged
