Short leukocyte telomere length (LTL) may be associated with several psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder (MDD). Short LTL has previously been associated with poor response to psychiatric medications in bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, but no studies have prospectively assessed the relationship of LTL to SSRI response in MDD. We assessed pre-treatment LTL, depression sever

Purpose: The purpose of this work is to determine the abundances of neutron-capture elements in solar neighborhood giant stars. This enables constraints to be put on the the cosmic origin of these elements. I have determined abundances of elements produced in both the weak s-process (Cu), the first and second s-process peaks (Y, Zr and La, Ce, Pr, Nd, respectively) and the r-process (Eu, Gd). The

Throughout the years, the church has played an integral role in the community. It has served as a spiritual hub, a political symbol, and a center point for the community. One thing that cannot be denied is that the church has had some sort of power and influence on the community throughout different periods of time. You may even argue if the impact it has had on the community is positive or not. S

When it comes to predicting biological outcomes, be they single adaptations, or whole ecosystem shifts, we have still to build many bridges in our understanding of how each level of life is connected. Though exceedingly complex, analysing communities is vital in comprehending how single species, or ecosystems, may fare in this changing world. This study aims to answer questions about plant-pollina

Jus cogens-normer är normer som det internationella samfundet har kommit överens om är tvingande i det internationella rättssystemet. Flertalet ouppklarade problem när det kommer till dessa normer kvarstår dock i gällande internationell rätt. Den förevarande uppsatsen behandlar tre av dessa problem, nämligen om konflikter mellan jus cogens-normer är möjliga, hur de konflikterna i så fall skulle kuJus cogens norms are norms which the international community has agreed are peremptory in the international legal system. However, several issues regarding these norms are left unresolved in current international law. This thesis concerns three of those issues, namely, if jus cogens norms can conflict with one another, how those conflicts in that case could be resolved, and lastly, what they could

Abstract Microfluidics is the field where the behavior of fluids is studied in very small channels, and small means that the size of the channels normally is only a couple of hundred microns. Fluids in the µL/nL/pL range are handled in microfluidics. There´s a difference in the behavior of fluids on the microscale compared to the macroscale. This difference, taken into consideration yields severa

The large-scale expansion of wind energy is an important element of the energy transition in Germany and a necessary tool to mitigate climate change. Yet, it is contested in many rural settings across the country. This thesis builds on the argument that rural areas are a crucial factor for the energy transition. They serve as the sites that host most of the infrastructure needed in the transition

Urbanization expands very quickly, and it is one of the major threats to biodiversity. The spread of exotic trees in urban sites negatively affect the distribution of native trees and thereby insects. Herbivorous insects are highly dependent on native trees as a host and for providing nutrition. Any impact on the distribution of native trees will hence potentially also alter the insect abundance a

Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om under vilka omständigheter fängelseförhållanden kan utgöra omänsklig eller förnedrande behandling och därmed kan ligga till grund för uppehållstillstånd i Sverige. Frågeställningen är outforskad ur ett svenskt perspektiv. Det saknas i princip nationell vägledning. En person kan erhålla uppehållstillstånd i Sverige med anledning av omänsklig eller förnedrande behanThis thesis deals with the question of the circumstances in which prison conditions may constitute inhuman or degrading treatment, and thus may form the basis for a residence permit in Sweden. This has not been an area that has been explored to a great extent from a Swedish perspective. A person can obtain a residence permit in Sweden due to inhuman or degrading treatment as a person eligible for

This paper examines if competition between internet service providers using city networks leads to lower prices. The research tests the theory of the circular city that in which the price depends on the marginal cost as well as the number of competitors in the market. Based on this theory the cost of a 100 Mbits connection should move towards marginal cost if there are more internet service provid

Människans roll inom IS kan ofta falla till glömska inom organisationer som besitter en hög teknisk medvetenhet. Då utvecklingen av tekniska lösningar sker i explosionsartad takt blir möjligheten för användaren att hänga med mindre för varje ny funktion. Säkerhetsmedveten-het är därmed en fråga som bör diskuteras och göras mer aktuell inom organisationer idag då litteratur påvisar att det inte fin

Jihadism has become a major topic in Western as well as non-western public debate. Many military groups have sprung up in late 20th and early 21st century, claiming legitimacy using jihad for a wide variety of causes ranging from Kashmir, Somalia, Bosnia, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Nigeria. This leads to the question whether Islamist fundamentalism has been successful in project

Skatterättsliga klassificeringen av fastigheter påverkar inkomstslag, avdragsrätt, kapitalvinstbeskattning, beskattningstidpunkt, skattereserveringar, sociala avgifter och förmåner. Klassificeringen kan påverka skattesatsen avsevärt. En fastighet klassificeras i regel som antingen privatbostadsfastighet eller näringsfastighet. Reglerna återfinnes i IL 2 kap. med en del hänvisningar till FTL. BedöThe Swedish taxation legal classification of properties affects type of incomes, deduction right, capital gains taxation, time of taxation, tax reservations and employee benefits. The classification can significantly affect the rate of taxation. A property is as a rule classified as either private residential or business property. The regulation is found in the IL Chapter 2. and in FTL. The asses

Sammanfattning Jag har analyserat fem debattartiklar, tre skrivna av Linda Skugge, författare och skribent i Expressen, och två av Sara Stridsberg, författare och frilansande journalist, i den så kallade ?bimbodebatten? som har pågått i flera år där kända kvinnor har kritiserats i media på grund av sitt ickerespektabla förhållningssätt till sig själv och sin kropp, exempelvis gällande utvik, sili

Starting out from the neo-pluralistic theory and advocacy coalition framework, this study has an ambition to identify which theory may explain the sustainable development in the City of Växjö. The first mentioned theory stipulates that business groups affect the policy by for instance lobbying politicians. The latter one focuses on the fact that actors create coalitions in order to impose their id

Försäljning av alkohol har varit reglerat under mycket lång tid i Sverige. Den nuvarande regleringen kan spåra sina rötter till 1800- talets mitt och även om reglering förändrats över tiden så är försäljning av alkohol fortfarande starkt reglerad. Alkoholagens syfte är att begränsa alkoholens skadeverkningar. En konsekvens av alkoholagens syfte är att det ställs hög krav på den som vill bedriva seThe sale of alcohol has been regulated for a very long time in Sweden and the origin of the current regulations can be traced to the middle of 1900 century. The nature of these regulations have changed a great deal overtime but the sale of alcohol remains heavily regulated. The main purpose of the Swedish alcohol law “alkohollagen” is to limit the damages caused by alcohol use and as a consequence

Popular Abstract in Swedish Samarbete är ett värdeladdat ord i svenskt välfärdsarbete och inom socialt arbete förespråkas samarbete ofta som något värdefullt och nödvändigt. Idag finns det en stor, om än fragmenterad, vardagskunskap om samarbete och samverkan. Vetandet präglas dock av ett okritiskt accepterande av samarbetets fördelar, samtidigt som många verksamheter visar att resultaten av samarCo-operation is highly valued in Swedish welfare work and joint efforts within and between healthcare and welfare organizations is not new in Sweden. For decades the authorities have been trying to organize and coordinate various social and medical efforts in the public sector at a central level. This thesis is focusing on the meaning of co-operation between professionals belonging to different or
