Despite advances in the treatment quality of HIV throughout the world, several countries are still facing numerous obstacles in delivering HIV treatment at a sufficiently high quality, putting patients' lives in jeopardy. The aim of this status article is to give an overview of HIV treatment outcomes in the West African country, Guinea-Bissau, and to assess how newer treatment strategies such as l

Solution of spatial and verbal tasks was studied in 43 subjects using the advanced version of the method of intracortical interaction mapping (IIM) and analysis of EEG spectra in short (250 ms) intervals. Comparison between the IIM and coherence methods during solving simple motor tasks revealed some advantages of the IIM for studying of labile cortical connections. Several stages were separated i

Supermassive black holes are found in most galactic nuclei. A large fraction of these nuclei also contain a nuclear stellar cluster surrounding the black hole. Here we consider the idea that the nuclear stellar cluster formed first and that the supermassive black hole grew later. In particular we consider the merger of three stellar clusters to form a nuclear stellar cluster, where some of these c

We derive asymptotically exact results for the charge and spin densities far away from finite systems (atoms and molecules) and far outside solid surfaces. These results are then used to obtain the correct asymptotic form of the exchange-correlation potential of density-functional (DF) theory and to prove that, for all systems, the eigenvalue of the uppermost occupied DF orbital equals the exact i

Volcanic eruptions are the largest source of variability in the stratospheric particle concentration as they inject SO2 that is subsequently converted into sulphate particles. No major perturbation of the stratospheric aerosol load has been observed since the large eruption of Pinatubo in 1991, but several moderate eruptions after 2000 have caused deviations from stratospheric background condition

The book looks at corporate voluntarism from a socio-legal perspective and places CSR in a regulatory context. The responsible practices of leading businesses have a role in the rule-making process by clarifying general, flexible concepts such as ‘due diligence’, ‘reasonability’, ‘foreseeability’ which all have a bearing on findings of corporate ‘negligence’. Procedural regulations seeking to enco

The glycocalyx is a carbohydrate-rich layer that lines the luminal side of the vascular endothelium. Its soluble components exist in a dynamic equilibrium with the bloodstream and play an important role in maintaining endothelial layer integrity. However, the glycocalyx can be easily damaged and is extremely vulnerable to insults from a variety of sources, including inflammation, trauma, haemorrha

Ett resilient hushåll, som är väl förberett för en kris, ökar krishanteringsförmågan för samhället i stort när katastrofen är ett faktum – och mildrar konsekvenserna. Trots att hushåll på landsbygden drabbades hårt av stormen Gudrun 2005 var de väsentliga för krishanteringen som helhet, inte minst för överlevnad och mellanmänsklig omsorg. Hur såg detta skeende ut, och på vilket sätt kan analys av

Within the disciplines of social, economic, and evolutionary science, a proud ignorance can often be found of the other areas’ approaches. This text provides a novel intellectual basis for breaking this trend. Certainly, Human Sciences and Human Interests aspires to open a broad debate about what scholars in the different human sciences assume, imply or explicitly claim with regard to human intere

This thesis is about the flight of vertebrates and the studies of different modes of flight. Flight has always fascinated mankind and this fascination gave inspiration for our attempts at flying. Yet there are many different modes of flight among vertebrates and this thesis focuses mainly on the flapping flight of bats and intermittent flight of birds, as well as compares some of the factors conce
