Abstract Mean dive duration and probability of observing Minke whale surface feeding were estimated throughout three consecutive feeding seasons in Faxafloy bay, Iceland. Observations were done using manual theodolite and binoculars each season from June to August. Surfacings of the whale as well as behavioural notes were fixed into Pythagoras program. Mean dive duration was significantly longer i
Based on seven qualitative, semi-structured interviews with adhd-diagnosed parents, our aim is to deepen the knowledge regarding the positive and negative impacts in parenthood, concerning their own experiences. The purpose of this study is also to get an insight into how society's expectations of parents affect the adhd-diagnosed parents view upon themselves. The theoretical framework used wa
T cell lineage development from an early thymic progenitor involves programmed shutoff of progenitor gene expression, upregulation of T cell specification genes, and proliferation. This biological system has been deeply studied and a gene regulatory network (GRN) that can accurately describe the system has been presented. Such a GRN offers an excellent opportunity to study lineage commitment from
BUT A SURFACE is a product that offers a surface which helps users to switch between positions they like freely when working from home with devices like laptops. Under the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home has become a “new normal”. Compared with working in the office or school, people usually perform more relaxed in positions like sitting casually on lounge chairs or sofas when working from h
The long-distance migration that some animals accomplish can be truly astonishing. It can be observed in several different groups of animals with some of the most famous examples being sea turtles, birds, salmon and the Monarch butterfly. How these animals manage to navigate over distances sometimes as long as 10000 km nobody knows for sure. There is evidence of some animal’s ability to navigate u
In jawed vertebrates, the initiation of an adaptive immune response against a novel pathogen relies on antigen presentation, the process whereby the organism’s cells present pathogen-derived peptides to T cells, which recognise the foreign material and elicit subsequent action. The cell surface proteins responsible for antigen presentation are encoded within a region of the genome known as the maj
Ansvarsbegränsningar är idag ett vanligt förekommande inslag i avtal, i synnerhet i kommersiella sådana. Syftet med inkorporeringen av en ansvarsbegränsningsklausul är vanligtvis att parterna söker reglera riskfördelningen sig emellan. Ansvarsbegränsningen sätter då en prägel på avtalsförhållandet, vilken många gånger tar sig uttryck i form av att skadeståndsansvaret begränsas i sig eller att ett Contractual terms that limit the liability are widely used nowadays, particularly in commercial agreements. The purpose of the incorporation of liability limitations is usually that the contracting parties want to regulate the allocation of risks between them. The liability limitation then sets the scene for the agreement, which often takes the form of the general liability being limited or a maxi
Kännetecknande för aktiebolagsformen är aktieägarnas avsaknad av personligt ansvar. Detta skapar även förutsättningar för en intressekonflikt mellan aktiebolagets ägare och dess borgenärer där synen på samt incitamenten till såväl investeringar som risktagande kan skilja sig åt. Kapitalskyddssystemet utgör en central del av det aktiebolagsrättsliga borgenärsskyddet och kan betraktas som lagstiftarThe limited liability company is characterised by the shareholders’ lack of personal liability. This also forms the basis of a conflict between the owners of the company and the creditors of the company, whose approaches and incentives for investments as well as risk-taking may diverge. The legal capital regime constitutets a core part of creditor protection under company law and can be considered
This thesis intends to contribute cumulatively to the understanding of the circumstances that women’s rights-focused NGOs work in when operating in a post-conflict country with an authoritarian regime. It also aims to argue on the importance of the NGOs’ role to empower women by political participation under those circumstances and discuss why it’s often very challenging for the mentioned NGOs to
Popular Abstract in Swedish Förbränningsmotorer används på flera platser i samhället där energi behöver göras tillgänglig i form av mekaniskt arbete eller elektrisk energi. Den kanske mest kända tillämpningen är som kraftkälla i en personbil. Förbränningsmotorerna har givetvis ett antal fördelar som bidragit till deras popularitet och omfattande användning - lågt pris, kompakthet, driftsäkerhet ocCurrent combustion engines provide excellent performance for vehicle propulsion and power generation. However, recent demands from society ask for higher efficiencies and lower emissions. These requirements are hard to meet with current technology and call for new solutions. Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition, HCCI, offers a potential to combine high efficiency with very low emissions. It op
Popular science summary The effect of glucose and incretin proteins on insulin secretion and OPN production Insulin secretion is a sensitive cellular process with ramifications in diabetes mellitus development. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia, a chronic condition defined by high levels of circulating glucose. Insulin hormone is the primary regulator of glucose absorption from
Drinking water is the most important part of our food that we need in everyday life. It is estimated that over one million permanent residents and nearly as many second homes in Sweden uses its own well as the only source of drinking water supply. For example we can point to Landskrona municipality in the south of Sweden where there are about one thousand households that use their drinking water f
The purpose of this essay is to compare the sacrifice story in Gen 22 with rabbinical commentaries on the binding of Isaac (Aqedah). More specifically, I want to examine what it is in the text of Gen 22 that may have influenced and inspired the early rabbinic tradition of Aqedah; that all subsequent animal sacrifices received its force and validity from the profits that Isaac won by his sacrifice.
