The first aim of this chapter is to argue that Mary Wollstonecraft’s approach to inequalities of property and wealth is a form of “non-intrinsic egalitarianism”. The second aim is to nudge republican political theory in our own time towards accepting this approach as part of what freedom requires. Republican theory is not fit for purpose in our contemporary world unless it acknowledges economic in
Mutations in the PINK1 and PRKN genes are the most frequent genetic cause of early-onset Parkinson disease. The pathogenic p.R275W substitution in PRKN is the most frequent substitution observed in patients, and thus far has been characterized mostly through overexpression models that suggest a possible gain of toxic misfunction. However, its effects under endogenous conditions are largely unknown
A series of orthoborate-based ionic materials of bis(glycolato)borate ([BGB]) and bis(ethylene-1,2-dioxy)borate anions ([BEDB]) coupled with tetrabutylphosphonium ([P4444]) and tetrabutylammonium ([N4444]) cations have been synthesized, and their physicochemical properties are characterized. The ionic materials based on the most popular orthoborate anion, bis(oxalato)borate anion ([BOB]), which co
The model by D. Hu and D. Cai [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 138701 (2013). doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.111.138701] describes the self-organization of vascular networks for transport of fluids from source to sinks. Diameters, and thereby, conductances, of vessel segments evolve so as to minimize a cost functional E . The cost is the trade-off between the power required for pumping the fluid and the energy con
This proposal addresses the problematic of heritage in the making and how the digital engages in museum practices. Questioning reconstructions of the past, and the ways in which material culture and museums are used, to support heritage discourses. It concerns the ability of Chinese digital museums, to turn the past into present. Inspired by Foucault, this research, questions whether digital is ma
The present master thesis was performed in cooperation with the company “Aventure AB”. The company’s R&D department envisioned a new yoghurt-based product able to decrease the blood glucose levels after a meal. The innovative characteristic of the product is due to the diet fibers of the barley grain, which is going to be incorporated inside the yoghurt. The preliminary experiments which were
For a short-lived organism, such as a freshwater zooplankter, the ways of coping with years of local recruitment failure are either to disperse between habitats and recolonise or to disperse in time through diapause. Diapause is common among freshwater zooplankton and is generally seen as a way to escape periods of harsh environmental conditions. The egg-bank or pool of diapausing copepodites in l
The Japanese conjectural and hortative particle bee is the main characteristic of Tohoku dialect, and has been rigorously studied by Tamakake Gen at Tohoku University. This thesis presents for the first time in English his semantic categorization of bee, while complementing this with a detailed description of the particle's grammatical properties. The stereotypic bee, as can be seen in the Fin
The effect from mechanical-biological pre-treatment (MBT) of wastes in Sweden and Germany has been studied. The organic matter and biological activities were studied and compared. Other parameters such as heavy metals and nutrients were examined and related to the organic matter. The effect of low water content on degradation was investigated and the relevant legislation in the two countries was s
Many natural resources lead economies experience worse economic performance than their exports lead counterparts. This phenomenon is known as the Resource Curse, and many resource abundant countries face it. This study is aimed to critically assess existing Resource Curse theory by comparing two seemingly different cases Kazakhstan and Norway. Based on the Resource Curse theory hypothesis suggests
Chronic wounds are a health problem that have devastating consequences for patients and contribute major costs to healthcare systems and societies. To understand the magnitude of this health issue, a systematic review was undertaken. Searches were conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, EBM Reviews and Cochrane library, CINAHL, EBSCO, PsycINFO, and Global Health databases for articles published between 2000
The subject of this thesis concerns the ICC’s jurisdiction over the occupied Palestinian territories, a question actualised in recent years due to the Palestinian ICC membership. The thesis is mainly conducted through a traditional legal dogmatic method, the exception being the historical background. The author has chosen to apply a scientific theory for this thesis. The theory adopted is Martti K
Climate change is escalating. In the search for alternatives to fossil fuels, many countries are pushing green hydrogen as an energy vector. The development of a hydrogen economy is planned, and social and ecological consequences are at risk of being neglected. Namibia has excellent conditions for renewables and plans to be a major exporter of green hydrogen. Germany is set to import green hydroge
The current Japanese population of 124 million is expected to decrease to 104 million by year 2050 (Takahashi et al., 2003) with a rapid aging population and, thus increasing immigration is one of the responses to this demographic concern. Hereon onwards, it will be relevant to understand the social patterns of foreign residents living in Japan and finding out more about their livelihoods as non-n
