Though the paradox between Human Rights and Intellectual Property Rights has been discussed, their relationship remains unclear. In this paper, to clarify the relationship between human rights and intellectual property rights in the process of globalization, I will examine the legislation and analyze the function of the legal regime we have today and present my arguments.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Olika former av ljus har använts i åtminstone 5000 år i medicinska sammanhang. Man har i många tidiga kulturer använt solljus för att behandla olika sjukdomar. Under det senaste århundradet har användandet av ljus introducerats i den västerländska medicinen. Nya former av ljusterapi har införts. Med utvecklingen av lasern på 1960-talet dök nya användningsområden upp. LaSome aspects on the use of light for tissue characterization and treatment of malignant tumours are discussed within this thesis. The work presented aims at improving optical techniques for tissue characterization, especially to detect malignant and pre-malignant lesions. A knowledge on the interaction between light and tissue is of utmost importance to understand and improve the various technique
The Lebanese are the largest group of Middle Eastern immigrants in the United States, and Lebanese immigrants are also prominent across Europe and the Americas. Based on over eighty interviews with first-generation Lebanese immigrants in the global cities of New York, Montreal and Paris, this book shows that the Lebanese diasporaolike all diasporasoconstructs global relations connecting and transf
A crucial debate is under way concerning the public's participation in biotechnology decision-making processes. This study, concerning the policy process around xenotransplantation (XTP) in Latvia and Sweden in the period 1970-2004, focuses on how scientific experts and politicians view the public and the public's participation in the process of developing policy regarding XTP. Drawing on intervie
This monograph is a slightly revised version of my dissertation from 2005.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal disease that exhibits patterns of usual interstitial pneumonia with honeycombing. IPF is characterized by damaged distal lung epithelium with excessive tissue scarring and extracellular matrix remodeling. The etiology of IPF is unknown and current therapies cannot end or reverse disease progression. Aberrant reactivation of developmental pathways is e
The thesis explores the ‘missing link’ in the study of priority-setting for research, development, and innovation (RDI), namely the processes of implementing RDI priorities, and the consequences of these processes. It does so by focusing on how choices, actions, and motivations of implementers of RDI priorities established elsewhere in the policy system enact, or carry out, the priorities, resulti
Recent years have seen the emergence of critical studies pro-duced by third- generation Displaced Persons (hereafter DPs),questioning ethno-nationalist historical narrations, hegemonicin the community. Yet, in the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada, suchstudies have been absent. Kassandra Luciuk’s current study iswritten by someone raised in the political elite of the Ukrainianethno-nationalist communit
The band offsets of semiconductor heterojunctions are critical parameters for the design of electronic and optoelectronic devices. In this work, we report the fabrication of a Co3O4/3C-SiC p-n heterojunction and the determination of the conduction band and valence band offsets at the Co3O4/3C-SiC heterojunction. Our results reveal that the Co3O4/3C-SiC p-n heterojunction exhibits a type-II band al
Introduction: The evidence-base for the impact of participating in the arts for different aspects of health and wellbeing is growing. Arts on Prescription has gained increasing recognition as a method for fostering connections among individuals and communities, however, to date no systematic review of the impact on individual health and wellbeing has been conducted. This review aims to provide an
BACKGROUND: It remains unclear why cool temperatures cause more persistent adverse health effects compared to hot weather. Fluid homeostasis may constitute a causal link between past temperatures and adverse health effects. In this study we investigated the association between past outdoor temperatures and current fluid homeostasis.METHODS: We studied participants from five cohorts during three de
This study examines China’s future energy trend by analyzing how the energy demand in China has changed and how it will change by looking at several domestic factors, such as structural and policy changes, as well as international factors that affect the country’s demand for energy. The sector-specific energy consumption trend in the near future is also discussed in order to show what the main dri
There have been several agreements over the years dealing with issue of arms control agreements, but no a specifically small arms and light weapons (SALW) control agreement. Nonetheless, transfer of arms could only be seen as legal when conducted in consistency with international law. There are to our use fundamental international legal principles that define how and when weapons can be engaged an

The heterotrimeric pre-mRNA retention and splicing (RES) complex, consisting of Bud13p, Snu17p and Pml1p, promotes splicing and nuclear retention of a subset of intron-containing pre-mRNAs. Yeast cells deleted for individual RES genes show growth defects that are exacerbated at elevated temperatures. Although the growth phenotypes correlate to the splicing defects in the individual mutants, the un
Hydrological modeling realism is a central research question in hydrological studies. However, it is still a common practice to calibrate hydrological models using streamflow as a single hydrological variable, which can lead to large parameter uncertainty in hydrological simulations. To address this issue, this study employed a multi-variable calibration framework to reduce parameter uncertainty i
