This essay aims to examine the international crime of genocide in its general aspects, in order to provide a comprehensive perspective on the various legal elements, how these should be applied, and what effect they have had in previously adjudicated or ongoing cases. The crime of genocide is primarily defined based on the five acts outlined in Article II (a-e) of the Genocide Convention. To gain
Foraminiferer förekommer i marina sediment i världens hav och utgör en värdefull proxymetod för att rekonstruera vattendjup, strömmar, produktivitet och syrenivån vid djuphavsmassor. Valet av storleksfraktion som används när studier på bentiska djuphavs-foraminiferer utförs har visat sig ha betydelse när ekologisk fauna vid upvällningsregioner studeras. En genomgång av tidigare studier har visat aForaminifera are abundant in the marine sediment in all of the worlds’s oceans and offer a valuable proxy method to reconstruct water depth, circulation, productivity and deep water aeration. The choice of size fraction used when studying benthic foraminifera in upwelling areas are important. A review of 15 earlier studies where benthic foraminifera has been analysed, has shown that there are diff
Användning av sociala medier har ökat mer och mer under det senaste decenniet och ett av dessa är Facebook, en internetsida där användarna kan chatta med sina vänner, lägga upp foton samt titta på andras och göra statusuppdateringar. Denna studie undersöker om det finns en relation mellan hur människor använder sig av Facebook samt två specifika personlighetsdrag. Fokuset var ensamhet, som är indeThe use of social media has increased during the last decade, and one of them is Facebook, a website where the users can chat with friends, submit pictures, write status-updates and browse other people's entries. In this study, research was conducted to establish if there is a relationship between how people use Facebook and two specific aspects of personality. The focus of the study was lonel
Syftet är att granska hur gällande normering och vägledning på intäktsområdet efterlevs av IT-företag, samt att undersöka hur vägledningen upplevs av de företag den främst riktar sig till. Vi har undersökt 56 IT-företag som samtliga finns listade på A- respektive O-listan. Vi har jämfört deras årsredovisningar med RR 10 och RR 11 samt Stockholmsbörsens vägledning för intäktsredovisning i IT-företa
Syfte: Denna uppsats avser att utreda om aktierelaterade incitamentprogram påverkar företags aktieavkastning. Det testas även om företagen som väljer att införa incitamentprogram har haft bättre avkastning, intäkter och return on assets jämfört med de företag som inte infört incitamentsprogram. Metod: För att få fram resultat har data samlats in dels från respektive företag dels från databasern
The histamine- and pancreastatin- containing ECL cells in the acid-producing mucosa of the rat stomach operate under the control of circulating gastrin. The present work examines how cholecystokinin (CCK)-B/gastrin receptors regulate the activity of the ECL cells. The oxyntic mucosal histidine decarboxylase (HDC) activity and the circulating pancreastatin concentration are two markers for the acti
A discussion session where the conference participants are invited to participate is planned. One topic for the session is to discuss experiences of multidisciplinary research on integration of human factors and different production concepts applied in change processes within Swedish companies. An important question that the discussion will focus on is: How to get high quality in multidisciplinary
The Internet is a huge world-wide packet switching network comprised of more than 13,000 distinct subnetworks, referred to as Autonomous Systems (ASs) . They all rely on the Internet Protocol (IP) for transport of packets across the network. And most of them use shortest path routing protocols , such as OSPF or IS-IS, to control the routing of IP packets within an AS. The idea of the routing is ex
PURPOSE: To establish the safety and tolerability of ZD1839 (Iressa), a selective epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and to explore its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects in patients with selected solid tumor types. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a phase I dose-escalating trial of oral ZD1839 150 mg/d to a maximum of 1,000 mg/d given once daily for at least
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex systemic autoimmune disease caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Genome scans in families with SLE point to multiple potential chromosomal regions that harbor SLE susceptibility genes, and association studies in different populations have suggested several susceptibility alleles for SLE. Increased production of type I interferon (IFN) an
In previous work we have demonstrated increased expression of NOX2 in cardiomyocytes of infarcted human hearts. In the present manuscript we investigated the functional role of NOX2 in ischemically challenged H9c2 cells, a rat cardiomyoblast cell line, and adult rat cardiomyocytes. Expression of NOX2 in H9c2 cells was confirmed by RT-PCR. In Western-blot experiments, increased NOX2 expression was
This paper summarizes the results of studies of the Late Weichselian periglacial environments carried out in key areas of northern Eurasia by several QUEEN teams (European Science Foundation (ESF) programme: "Quaternary Environment of the Eurasian North"). The palaeoglaciological boundary conditions are defined by geological data on timing and extent of the last glaciation obtained in the course o
To search for occupational risk factors, we conducted a case-control study in nine European countries of cancers of the small intestine, male gall bladder, thymus, bone, male breast, melanoma of the eye, and mycosis fungoides. Recruitment was population based in Denmark, Latvia, France, Germany, Italy, and Sweden, from hospital areas in Spain and Portugal, and from one United Kingdom (UK) hospital
Hip displacement, defined in this study as a migration percentage (MP) of more than 40%, is a common, debilitating complication of cerebral palsy (CP). In this prospective study we analysed the risk of developing hip displacement within five years of the first pelvic radiograph. All children with CP in southern and western Sweden are invited to register in the hip surveillance programme CPUP. Incl

Popular Abstract in Swedish I blodet finns röda och vita blodkroppar eller blodceller, som är nödvändiga för vår överlevnad. Blodcellerna utvecklas i benmärgen från gemensamma ursprungsceller, så kallade stamceller och en konstant nyproduktion pågår genom hela livet. Under produktionen av mogna celler tillväxer och delar sig cellerna och får allt mer specialiserade egenskaper. Denna specialiseringAll hematopoietic cells are derived from the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in a continuous and dynamic process, regulated by a network of transcription factors in different combinations and extrinsic signals from growth factors (GFs) and other factors in the microenvironment. In the initial stages of hematopoiesis HSCs differentiate to progenitor cells with gradually more restricted lineage pote
