Boken är producerad inom Etikforskningsprogrammet i anslutning till Swegene och Wallenberg Consortium North (WCN). 24 författare diskuterar olika aspekter av biotekniken, framför allt genteknik, stamcellsforskning och nanoteknik, under följande huvudrubriker: Frontlinjer och framtidsperspektiv, Biotekniken och samhället, Etiska frågor, Rättsliga frågor, Genetisk kunskap och information i sjukvårde
The reporting obligations under the TRIPS Agreement should provide a basis for discovering how the developed countries provide incentives to enterprises and institutions in their territories for the purpose of promoting and encouraging technology transfer and if these activities lead to concrete and helpful best industry practices. The obligations must be seen in their context. Other international
Hur viktiga är rummets belysning och färgsättning för människans välbefinnande, trivsel och prestation? Finns det några generella regler för hur en bra ljus- och färgsättning ska se ut? Kan forskningen bidra med några vettiga besked eller är allt till sist ändå bara en fråga om tycke och smak? Med utgångspunkt i miljöpsykologisk forskning behandlas kontorsmiljön under rubrikerna: Rummets färger; F
This paper presents an analysis of energy dissipation of a decimation filter chain of four half band digital (HBD) filters operated in the sub-threshold (sub-VT) region with throughput constraints. To combat speed degradation due to scaling of supply voltage, various HBD filters are implemented as unfolded structures. The designs are synthesized in 65 nm CMOS technology with low-power and three th
This paper discusses how physical planning works with place-making through urban design to support image creation in a municipality that aims to create a new image for its city. Two large-scale urban development projects in Sweden are analysed. The analysis focuses on official plans and documentation, and expert interviews. It distinguishes how place-making by physical planning happens through aes
The role of oxidants in viral diseases is fairly complex because it includes metabolic regulation both of host metabolism and viral replication. However, a role for reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) as mediators of virus-induced lung damage is supported by studies and antioxidants can thus be expected to act at many different levels. The aim of the present pilot stu
Objective: To evaluate if the measurement of survivin in the blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) undergoing infliximab treatment has predictive value for treatment response. Methods: The study included 87 consecutive RA patients (age 24-89 years, disease duration 18-526 months) treated with regular infusions of influximab. Survivin levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent a
Cycling as a transport mode has gradually become more attractive in cities during the last 10 years. However, not all cities give due consideration to cycling issues in the planning process. In many transport systems, cycling and issues of vélomobility are still neglected. Recent research considers several aspects of cycling, however, few studies have shown why differences in for example modal spl
Through the concept of friction, this article critically examines how the liberal peace travels across differences, accommodates, as well as is accommodated by the spaces it engages, and how it transforms, enables or constrains local as well as international agency. As the liberal peace interplays with the post-conflict realities three sites of friction are identified and examined in the divided c
Secondary hyperparathyroidism persists after renal transplantation in a substantial number of patients. Primary hyperparathyroidism and secondary hyperparathyroidism are both associated with abnormalities in glucose metabolism, such as insufficient insulin release and glucose intolerance. The association of hyperparathyroidism and diabetes after renal transplantation has, as far as we know, not be
Relative partial cross sections have been measured following photoexcitation of atomic chlorine near the Cl 2p and Cl 1s ionization thresholds. In addition, Breit-Pauli R-matrix calculations have been carried out in the region of the 2p thresholds, and the results are compared with experiment. Owing to angular-momentum considerations, it was found that the resonances associated with the higher 2p(
Background: Classic bladder exstrophy (CBE) is the most common form of the bladder exstrophy and epispadias complex. Previously, we and others have identified four patients with a duplication of 22q11.21 among a total of 96 unrelated CBE patients. Methods: Here, we investigated whether this chromosomal aberration was commonly associated with CBE/bladder exstrophy and epispadias complex in an exten
AbstractObjective: To study trough levels of metformin in serum and its intra individual variation in patients using a newly developed assay. Research Design and Methods: Trough serum levels of metformin was measured once using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LcMSMS) in 137 type 2 diabetes patients with varying renal function (99 men) and followed repeatedly during two months in 20
