This thesis uses a discourse analytical approach based on Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe to critically analyze long term migration policies. Hegemony and antagonism are used to show the development of the “Root cause discourse”. The discourse is based on the assumption that mainly illegal migration from underdeveloped sender states to more developed receiving states will in time diminish due to

Biotin synthase was the first example of what is now regarded as a distinctive enzyme class within the radical S-adenosylmethionine superfamily, the members of which use Fe/S Clusters as the sulphur source in radical sulphur insertion reactions. The crystal structure showed that this enzyme contains a [2Fe-2S] cluster with a highly unusual arginine ligand, besides three normal cysteine ligands. Ho

Introduction: Complicated perianal disease (cPD) may be the sole presentation of Crohn’s disease (CD). The role of small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) in the diagnostic algorithm of cPD is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the role of SBCE as a diagnostic tool, in patients with cPD, after a negative standard workup for CD. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective, cross-sectional study, in patients with

Wild waterfowl are important reservoir hosts for influenza A virus (IAV) and a potential source of spillover infections in other hosts, including poultry and swine. The emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses, such as H5N1 and H5N8, and subsequent spread along migratory flyways prompted the initiation of several programs in Europe, North America, and Africa to monitor circula

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka överförmyndarens tillsyn av ställföreträdares verksamhet. En överförmyndare är en kommunal förvaltningsmyndighet vars skyldighet är att tillhandahålla gode män och förvaltare. En sådan legal ställföreträdare kan förordnas för personer som inte kan att ta hand om sig själva och sin egendom. Ställföreträdarens uppdrag är således att bevaka huvudmannens rätt,The purpose of this essay is to study the chief guardian’s supervision of deputies’ activities. A chief guardian is a municipal administrative authority whose obligation is to provide custodians and administrators. Such a legal deputy may be assigned to persons who can no longer take care of themselves or their property. The deputy’s commitment is thus to guard the rights of the principal, adminis

Diploid potato cultivars that are propagated by True Potato Seeds (TPS) are a new potentially revolutionary way of potato breeding. Conventional breeding is based on highly heterozygous tetraploid potato varieties. Diploid potato breeding by TPS is useful to create inbred lines and from there hybrid offspring. TPS is cheaper, has almost no diseases and is easy to distribute. Diploid potatoes have Are potatoes, grown from seeds, the future? Did you know that you can grow potato plants from seeds? A potato plant has two ways to propagate itself; by the all known potato that we love to eat and by seeds that are grown in tomato-like berries above the ground. These seed producing potato plants that are as well diploid (two copies of every chromosome) instead of conventional tetraploid (4 copie

Recent data suggests that up to 30% of the population suffers from liver diseases including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which can further develop to non-alcoholic steatohepati

Fotoreceptorerna - tappar och stavar - i ögats näthinna behövs för vår syn men är mycket sårbara, och sjukdomar kan göra att de degenererar och dör, vilket ger svår synnedsättning eller blindhet. En sådan sjukdom är Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), som drabbar ungefär 1 på 3000-4000 personer. RP-sjukdomen är ärftlig och beror på genmutationer, men det är oklart hur dessa får fotoreceptorerna att dö och The rod and cone photoreceptors in the retina of the eye are crucial for our vision, but also vulnerable to diseases, which can make them degenerate and die. Such diseases include Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a heritable disease with a prevalence of about 1 in 3.000 – 4000 people. RP comes from gene mutations but it is not clear how these cause the degeneration and there are no therapies available.

Background: Effectiveness of biologics has neither been established in patients with high oral corticosteroid exposure (HOCS) nor been compared with effectiveness of continuing with HOCS alone. Objective: To examine the effectiveness of initiating biologics in a large, real-world cohort of adult patients with severe asthma and HOCS. Methods: This was a propensity score–matched, prospective cohort

Evolutionen som livboj för en krympande slända Många organismer påverkas negativt av mänsklig miljöpåverkan, och riskerar att dö ut. Evolutionära processer kan dock fungera som en livboj och bromsa den negativa utvecklingen från miljöförändringar. Global uppvärmning driver en insektsart till en mindre kroppsstorlek. Men när naturlig selektion istället verkar för en stor kroppsstorlek kommer de neDue to human-induced environmental changes, many natural populations are undergoing extensive fitness declines. Natural or sexual selection could potentially shift the phenotypic mean of critical traits towards new phenotypic optima, promoting evolutionary rescue. However, this process has rarely been studied in natural populations. Furthermore, the population fitness can also be increased by gene

Kritiskt sjuka patienter drabbas ofta av ökat vätskeläckage från kärl till vävnad vilket gör intravenös vätsketerapi är viktig komponent i behandlingen av kritiskt sjuka patienter. Även om vätskebehandling tveklöst kan rädda liv kan okritisk användning av vätska orsaka ödem och kompartmentsyndrom vilket i förlängningen kan försämra utfallet. Det övergripande syftet med gruppens forskning är att opFluid therapy is a cornerstone in the treatment of critically ill patients and is one of the most common therapies in intensive care units (ICU). However, excessive fluid therapy has side effects such as tissue oedema and compartment syndromes, which may ultimately worsen outcome. The main objective of the project is to optimize fluid therapy in patients suffering from sepsis/SIRS by investigating

Popular Abstract in English This thesis concerns experiments of heat transfer in a rectangular channel with ribs and an obstacle. Liquid crystal thermography (LCT) is used to record the temperature fields in the experiments. LCT is based on measurement of the color response of a heated surface. When illuminated with a white light, the liquid crystals react to temperature changes by changing color,This thesis presents experimental investigations of local heat transfer in a rectangular channel (aspect ratio AR = 4) with continuous transverse ribs as well as an obstacle. Liquid crystal thermography (LCT) is employed to obtain the temperature fields in the heat transfer experiments. The liquid crystal applied here has a red start at 35°C and a bandwidth of 1°C. The work consists of (1) periodi

This paper aims to determine the short and long term determinants of carbon intensity, energy intensity and scale effects for China, with data on the provincial level from 1995 to 2010. The results show that measures which are taken to limit carbon emission increase with carbon intensity on the long run. This means that more measures are taken, when more carbon is emitted per unit of output. The r
