Vad innebär domesticeringen egentligen för en djurart – och vad krävs för att den återigen skulle kunna ses som ”ursprunglig” eller vild? Kan den utdöda uroxen återskapas?

This article offers an overview of some main approaches in Swedish Cold War studies with a specific attention to how this field of research has dealt with the media as historical sources. The historiographical development is divided into two major research paradigms, one focusing on politics and Sweden in the postwar global environment, and the other focusing on the cultural aspects of the Cold Wa

Det verkar rimligt att anta att du endast är moraliskt ansvarig för något om du har åstadkommit detta genom dina handlingar. Utan en handling, inget moraliskt ansvar.

The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), adopted by the UN in 2006, represents the coming of age of a human rights approach to disability. In doing so, it provides answers to the questions what ‘disability’ is, who ‘persons with disabilities’ are and what entitlements are legitimate and relevant in relation to ‘disability’.

We analysed the role of the prechordal plate in forebrain development of chick embryos in vivo. After transplantation to uncommitted ectoderm a prechordal plate induces an ectopic, dorsoventrally patterned, forebrain-like vesicle. Grafting laterally under the anterior neural plate causes ventralization of the lateral side of the forebrain, as indicated by a second expression domain of the homeobox

The international standard ISO 22400 has defined a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to evaluate the performance of manufacturing operation. However, the defined KPIs seem to be inspired from the discrete production context, and hence do not automatically fit the process industry context. The process industry is defined as the industry in which the raw material undergoes conversion during a

This chapter analyses the European Union’s efforts to counteract the erosion of member states’ corporate tax bases. The author first describes how multinational enterprises, like Apple, have been able to exploit differences between the tax systems in order to pay less taxes. The author then presents the hypothesis that EU member states have managed to defend their interests in protecting their own
