Antalet rättsfall gällande oönskad publicering och spridning av andra människors privata material på Internet har ökat betydligt de senaste åren, med de s.k. Instagramupploppen 2012 som en sorts uppmärksamhetskulmen. Inget svenskt samlingsnamn som passar i alla dylika sammanhang har uppkommit och även om specifika detaljer skiljer sig åt från fall till fall, förefaller ärekränkningar förekomma somThe legal cases concerning unwanted online publishing of private material have experienced a significant rise in the last few years peaking around 2012 in Sweden, with initial assiduities around the issue being brought about by the “Instagram riots”. Up to this day, there is yet to be a collective term to entirely encompass these cases, and although the specific details differ between each case, t

Effekterna av den globala uppvärmningen har visat sig på alla kontinenter och i Sverige har det blivit både varmare och blötare. Risker som kopplas till klimatförändringar i Sverige är torka, värmevågor och översvämningar och dessa risker måste hanteras på alla samhällsnivåer av flera olika aktörer. Stöd och råd för hur samhällsaktörer kan förbereda sig kommer från både Nationellt kunskapscenter fThe effects of global warming have been seen at all continents and in Sweden it has become both warmer and wetter. Risks connected to this are droughts, heat waves and flooding. These risks have to be dealt with on all levels by every actor. Recommendations and support on how to avoid the consequences of these in urban planning comes from both the Swedish Portal for Climate Change Adaptation and t

Abstract Author: Nicole Eklund Title:”Female wedding-frenzy and male urges - A qualitative content analysis of the two fashion magazine’s ELLE and King” [Translated title] Assessor: Elisabeth Martinell Barfoed Supervisor: Staffan Blomberg The main purpose behind this paper was to study two fashion magazines, King and ELLE, and how they describe and portrait men, women, femininities, masculinities

Problem definition: The production, sale and consumption of ready to eat-vegetables and salads have increased at a frantic pace over the last decade and this trend shows signs of continuing. This very much depends on that ready to eat-salads are minimally processed and contain no artificial additives. They also retain a large amount of their nutrients after harvest and do not require any preparat

Large uncertainty exists in model projections of the land carbon (C) sink response to increasing atmospheric CO2. Free-Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) experiments lasting a decade or more have investigated ecosystem responses to a step change in atmospheric CO2 concentration. To interpret FACE results in the context of gradual increases in atmospheric CO2 over decades to centuries, we used a suite of se

Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA Brott på strålbenet på handledsnivå (handledsbrott) är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till att patienter måste uppsöka en akutmottagning. Skadan drabbar oftast medelålders och äldre kvinnor. Skelettet blir skörare hos kvinnor efter klimakteriet, vilket lättare leder till ett benbrott. Medan brott på lårbenshalsen oftast drabABSTRACT Fractures of the distal radius are common injuries that may cause persistent disability and pain. This thesis prospectively investigates the incidence and characteristics of distal radius fractures, the relationship between fracture malunion and disability and the natural course of patient-reported outcome after fracture in a well-defined population in Northeastern Scania, Sweden. Further

Background: Sunitinib malate is approved multinationally for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and advanced imatinib-refractory gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST). Greater exposure to sunitinib is associated with improved efficacy. Therefore, minimising the impact of adverse events (AEs) on patient quality of life is important to enable patients to achieve optimal exposur

This qualitative study is about how individual supportive conversation between school welfare officers and pupils in upper secondary school is carried out. The major interest of the study was to explore the problems that school welfare officers have during forced or involuntary supportive conversations with pupils, and how those problems can be understood and solved with the concept of strategies.

Climate change is a threat facing the planet which could bring disastrous consequences. In the globalised world, states are less capable of fighting this threat alone&semic it is also necessary that companies take on this challenge. Amongst other people, this idea is supported by Kofi Annan and Nicolas Stern. One of the ways in which this is done is through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR

Objective. To study the impact of disease and treatment with DMARDs on antibody response elicited by either pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) or pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) in patients with SSc. Methods. Forty-four SSc patients and 49 controls received a dose of either PCV13 or PPV23. Twelve patients were treated with DMARDs. Antibody levels to pneumococcal polysaccharides 6B

We analyzed the impacts of drought severity on a variety of sectors in a topographically complex basin (the upper Aragón basin 2181 km2) in the Central Spanish Pyrenees. Using diverse data sources including meteorological and hydrological observations, remote sensing and tree rings, we analyze the possible hydrological implications of drought occurrence and severity on water availability in variou

The regulation of acetylcholine (ACh) release from cholinergic neurons transplanted to the hippocampus or neocortex was studied by microdialysis in awake rats. Fetal basal forebrain tissue was implanted as a cell suspension or solid graft into the fimbria-fornix-lesioned hippocampus, or as a cell suspension into the frontal cortex after excitotoxic lesion of the nucleus basalis. Several months aft

A combined experimental/numerical method for determination of constitutive parameters in high strain-rate material models is presented. Impact loading, using moderate projectile velocities in combination with small specimens (sub mm) facilitate tensional strain rates in the order of 10(4)-10(5) s(-1).

Over 840 M ha of arable land is affected by salinization, and the area is predicted to increase due to global change. Assessments of the status of the microbial community in saline soils have frequently been based on microbial biomass estimates, which might not accurately reflect microbial process rates in soil. Moreover, assessments of how the relative importance of major decomposer groups bacter

Behavioral responses to novelty, including fear and subsequent avoidance of novel stimuli, i.e., neophobia, determine how animals interact with their environment. Neophobia aids in navigating risk and impacts on adaptability and survival. There is variation within and between individuals and species; however, lack of large-scale, comparative studies critically limits investigation of the socio-eco

In addition to their natural substrates GDP and GTP, the bacterial translational GTPases initiation factor (IF) 2 and elongation factor G (EF-G) interact with the alarmone molecule guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp), which leads to GTPase inhibition. We have used isothermal titration calorimetry to determine the affinities of ppGpp for IF2 and EF-G at a temperature interval of 5-25 °C. We find that

Popular Abstract in Swedish De flesta av Sveriges cirka 15000 större broar är byggda i betong. Ett problem som kan uppkomma i betongbroar är sprickor, vilka kan bidra till att minska broarnas beständighet och säkerhet. I en del broar har fler sprickor uppkommit på sydsidan än på nordsidan vilket antyder att solen har stor påverkan på dessa broar, eftersom det är den enda faktor som skiljer sig väsWhen the temperature changes in the environment the temperature will also change in a structure. Complex interactions of climate factors affect the temperature changes. When the temperature is varied in a material it will expand or contract, and movements will be produced. If the movements are prevented, stresses may be induced which can contribute to cracks in the structure. Severe cracks have be

The human HLA-D histocompatibility region encodes class II antigens each of which consists of two polypeptide chains (α and β) inserted in the plasma membrane. These molecules are implicated in the regulation of the immune response1-3 but several human diseases are also found to be associated with certain HLA-DR antigens4. The occurrence of insulin-dependent (type I) diabetes (IDDM) is strongly as

Background: Cobalt (Co) causes allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and the emerging use of Co nanoparticles (CoNPs) warrants gaining further insight into its potential to elicit ACD in sensitized individuals. Objectives: The aims of the study were to clarify to what extent CoNPs may elicit ACD responses in participants with Co contact allergy, and to evaluate whether the nanoparticles cause a distin
