Large-scale land acquisitions are a critical driver of global socio-environmental change, in particular in the Global South. This study aims to investigate drivers, impacts and feedbacks of environmental change in Kilombero Valley, Tanzania, a region in rapid societal and environmental transformation. We use land cover classifications to map and quantify land cover changes from 1990 to 2016, and c
Glucokinase plays an important role in the regulation of insulin secretion and is therefore an attractive candidate gene for both insulin dependent (IDDM) and non-insulin-dependent (NIDDM) diabetes mellitus. A single G-A nucleotide polymorphism at the -30 position of the beta-cell specific promoter region of the glucokinase gene was previously associated with reduced beta-cell function. In the pre
An apparatus for static perimetry of the central visual field at 64 points is described. The testing is fully automatic: the test logic is programmed into a mini-computer and the results are plotted as a diagram in polar coordinates. A few cases with small or medium sized visual field defects have been analyzed by conventional methods and by the automatic instrument with satisfying results.
I avhandlingen undersöks betydelsebeskrivningen i Ordbok över svenska språket utgiven av Svenska Akademien (SAOB) i ljuset av teoretisk semantik. De fem etablerade och i ordbokens definitionstext högfrekventa formlerna, eller semantiska etiketterna, "bildlig", "oegentlig", "utvidgad", "allmännare" och "överförd användning" studeras ur olika perspektiv.Frågan som ställs i avhandlingen är hur formle
The actualization of action possibilities (i.e., affordances) can often be accomplished in numerous ways. For instance, an individual could walk over to a rubbish bin to drop an item in or throw the piece of rubbish into the bin from some distance away. The aim of the current study was to investigate the action dynamics that emerge from such under-constrained task or action spaces using an object
The direct reprogramming of adult skin fibroblasts to neurons is thought to be controlled by a small set of interacting gene regulators. Here, we investigate how the interaction dynamics between these regulating factors coordinate cellular decision making in direct neuronal reprogramming. We put forward a quantitative model of the governing gene regulatory system, supported by measurements of mRNA
Advances in synchrotron storage rings and beamline automation have pushed data-collection rates to thousands of data sets per week. With this increase in throughput, massive projects such as in-crystal fragment screening have become accessible to a larger number of research groups. The quality of support offered at large-scale facilities allows medicinal chemistry-focused or biochemistry-focused g
Evacuation models generally tend to make over-simplifications in the representation of human behaviour in fire due to the difficulties to capture its complexity. This work shows how ‘new’ discrete choice model approaches allow overcoming this issue. A description of the existing state-of-the-art of discrete choice models is introduced to highlight the potential of those models. Three case studies
The aim of this chapter is to present industrial relations as a field of research to labour law researchers, and to discuss current research topics and identify areas for future research. In doing so, the chapter will also explore questions such as: What may an industrial relations-perspective in labour law research entail? When is an industrial relations-perspective fruitful in labour law researc
Purpose: Childhood cancer invades the child's daily life and has a strong influence on their living conditions and lifestyle. The treatment is an unpleasant experience and the children often perceive the treatment as worse than the actual disease. The aim of the present study was thus to explore the process of how healthcare professionals improved care for children undergoing sedation for intrathe
Earth's life support systems depend on biodiversity and healthy ecosystems. Without radical transformations, staying within safe planetary boundaries becomes impossible. While the inequalities between Global North and Global South are increasingly acknowledged, the agency and rights of people often placed in the category of 'vulnerable' -women, youth, indigenous peoples and local communities- are
This chapter describes Carl William Hansen’s (aka Ben Kadosh) Luciferian manifesto, Den ny morgens gry (1906). Throughout his life, Hansen was a member of several masonic and occult organizations operating in Denmark and was well known (or perhaps notorious) in the Danish occult milieu. Even though Den ny morgens gry appears to be a very original work, it ties in with late nineteenth- and early tw
The modulated structure of Ag2SnO3, disilver tin trioxide, was investigated by high-resolution electron microscopy and electron diffraction along four different directions. Electron diffraction showed an incommensurate one-dimensional modulated structure with a modulation wavevector of 1/6.4a*. High-resolution images showed a large number of superstructure domains with the size range 10-100 nm and
Background: Digitalized work life can increase cognitive demands and influence people’s everyday life. This can be challenging for people with cognitive difficulties, yet there is scarce knowledge of how they manage these. It is essential to learn how self-initiated management strategies can be a resource to support sustainable work and everyday life. Aim: To describe how people with cognitive dif
Coherent folded acoustic phonons in a multilayered GaSb/InAs epitaxial heterostructure were generated by femtosecond laser pulses and studied by means of ultrafast x-ray diffraction. Coherent phonons excited simultaneously in the fundamental acoustic branch and the first back-folded branch were detected. This represents the first clear evidence for phonon branch folding based directly on the atomi
Abstract in Uncoded languages Da li kapitalizam gubi svoju progresivnost i postaje destruktivan? Da li je moguce da se cak blizi svom kraju? Ovakvo razmisljanje zvuci poznato, ali se o ovim pitanjima danas razgovara mnogo vise nego ikada pre. Majkl Hart i Samir Amin, obojica medu vodecim kriticarima savremenog kapitalizma, razgovaraju o buducnosti sistema, pokretima otpora sistemu i alternativama
