High-power proton linacs are envisaged as drivers for numerous applications, such as neutron spallation sources for condensed matter study, neutrino factories, muon colliders, hybrid systems for transmutation or energy production, production of rare isotope beams for nuclear physics studies, etc. These linear accelerators are intended to deliver proton beams of up to several MW and tens of MW powe
The new year in Sweden began with some record-breaking cold temperatures. Temperatures in the village of Kvikkjokk in the northern Swedish part of Lapland dropped to -43.6°C, the lowest recorded since records began in 1887.Yet for the majority of Swedish households, heating is not an issue. Those living in the multi-household apartment blocks that characterise Sweden’s towns and cities enjoy avera
We investigate the observed depletion of red giants in the cores ofpost-core-collapse globular clusters. In particular, the evolutionaryscenario we consider is a binary consisting of two low-mass stars whichundergoes two common-envelope phases. The first common-envelope phaseoccurs when the primary is a red giant resulting in a helium white dwarfand main-sequence star in a detached binary. The sec
Escherichia coli K1 and Group B Streptococcus (GBS) are the most common bacteria that cause meningitis during the neonatal period. Complement, the first line of defence in the host, acts on these bacteria to opsonize with various components of complement for subsequent presentation to phagocytes. To counteract these opsonization effects, E. coli and GBS bind to the complement regulators C4 binding
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects millions of people world wide causing considerable human suffering and large socioeconomic costs. Increased knowledge of pathological pathways involved in RA will enable development of modern drugs, with reduced side effects. The mouse models offer an attractive approach to dissect the genetic and molecular mechanisms of RA.
Many Gram-positive bacteria express surface proteins that bind human plasma proteins. These bacterial proteins, and derivatives of them, are of interest for analysis of bacterial pathogenesis and as immunochemical tools. Well-characterized examples include the IgG-binding reagents staphylococcal protein A and streptococcal protein G, and the recently described streptococcal IgA-binding peptide Sap
Introduction To assess differences in initial symptoms, treatments, and bowel function between children with Hirschsprung's disease (HD) with or without a cognitive dysfunction (CD). Materials and Methods The study included children with HD who underwent transanal endorectal pull-through. A retrospective chart review was performed to collect data on patient characteristics, diagnosis, and treatmen
Due to a shifting competitive landscape, companies have realized that in order to meet the new market trends, they need to be flexible not only within their own link but throughout their supply chain. One factor that has proved to have great impact on supply chain flexibility is information sharing. The purpose of this thesis was to add to the knowledge on how organizations can increase their supp
This paper investigates how compassion with and understanding for the suffering of the other is constructed by the media and why certain choices are made with respect to coverage and framing. Articles published in the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter in relation to three different cases that all take place in Haiti have been surveyed by using quantitative content analysis and qualitative textual a
This paper studies how Sylva Plath’s The Bell Jar can be read from a feminist perspective and, in turn, what some possible benefits and potential risks of teaching the novel and feminist literary criticism to upper secondary school students of English in Sweden are. This paper also discusses how the novel can be a means to discuss the fundamental values of upper secondary school, in terms of equal
In this thesis, Carl Sagan’s television series and book Cosmos is studied. Theories and concepts from literary studies (and related fields) are used to analyze the so-called “cosmic perspective”. The cosmic perspective is shown to be complex, composed of four different but related perspectives: space; time; humanity and cosmic evolution; and history of science and exploration. A number of ambiguit
Övergångsrättvisa (transitional justice) är en term som beskriver hur länder med hjälp av juridiska och icke-juridiska åtgärder hanterar storskaliga övergrepp mot mänskliga rättigheter. Övergångsrättvisa används bland annat för att hålla förövare ansvariga och bringa försoning. Konceptet övergångsrättvisa växte fram som ett gensvar på hur länder under 1980–1990-talet hanterade de storskaliga övergTransitional justice is a term and concept which describes how countries deal with large-scale human rights abuses through different judicial and non-judicial measures in order to achieve reconciliation and hold perpetrators accountable. Transitional justice as a concept was born out of practice as a response to how countries in the 1980–1990s dealt with large-scale abuses committed by the earlier
Through semi-structured interviews conducted with representatives of three different NGOs located in The Gambia, this qualitative study explores how practices and activities in the organisations improve educational opportunities for girls in the country. The study identifies specific societal challenges that the NGOs try to remedy with their work, and what the focus is in their capacity building.
Det framgår av 7 § LAS att en uppsägning måste vara sakligt grundad. Vad som utgör saklig grund för uppsägning finns inte närmare angett i lag mer än att en uppsägning inte är sakligt grundad om det är skäligt att arbetsgivaren erbjuder arbetstagaren annat arbete hos sig, 7 § 2 st. LAS. Arbetsgivarens omplaceringsskyldighet gäller både vid uppsägningar på grund av personliga skäl och uppsägningar For a dismissal to be lawful it must fulfil the just cause requirement stipulated in Section 7 of LAS. The just cause requirement is not defined in neither LAS nor any other statute. Section 7 of LAS only explains that just cause will not be found if it is reasonable to demand that the employer provides the employee with different work tasks or transfers the employee to some other available positi
WHO has expressed that people with intellectual disabilities (ID) often are disadvantaged when it comes to accessing healthcare. However, a more solid evidence base is needed to determine if, and in which parts of the health system people with ID have lower access.
