We show for the oppositely charged system poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)/sodium dodecyl sulfate that the cliff edge peak in its surface tension isotherm results from the comprehensive precipitation of bulk complexes into sediment, leaving a supernatant that is virtually transparent and a depleted adsorption layer at the air/water interface. The aggregation and settling processes take about

The chemokine CCL25 is selectively and constitutively expressed in the small intestinal epithelium and plays an important role in mediating lymphocyte recruitment to this site. In this study, we demonstrate that CCL25 expression in murine small intestinal epithelial cells is independent of signaling through the lymphotoxin 0 receptor and is not enhanced by inflammatory stimuli, pathways involved i

Uppsatsen analyserar två nya svenska filmer: Återträffen (2013) och Nånting måste gå sönder (2014). Hur förhåller sig de kvinnliga huvudkaraktärerna i respektive film till de patriarkala konventioner, som Laura Mulvey beskrev för nästan 40 år sedan? Med utgångspunkt i Mulveys teorier och kompletterat av såväl amerikanska som svenska film- och genusforskare, diskuteras karaktärernas framställning, This essay analyzes two new Swedish movies: The Reunion (Återträffen, 2013) and Something Must Break (Nånting måste gå sönder, 2014). How do the female leading characters in these movies relate to the patriarchal conventions described by Laura Mulvey nearly 40 years ago? Based on Mulveys theories, and supplemented by american as well as swedish scholars, the depiction, hierarchy and object/subject

The paper investigates the mean and volatility spillover effects from U.S and EU stock markets as well as oil price market into national stock markets of eight European countries. The study finds strong indication of volatility spillover effects from global US, regional EU, and world factor oil towards individual stock markets. While both mean and volatility spillover transmissions from the U.S ar

After 9/11 2001, the U.S. government proclaimed war on terror. In the purpose to prohibit future attacks on the U.S. and their civilian a secret work started at the Office of Legal Councile to define and guideline actions in the war of terror.

Prior articles and reports have named Credit Default Swap (CDS) spreads as a plausible indicator of default risk. In this report, the authors present a significant correlation between CDS spreads and two other more acknowledged methods of measuring default risk probabilities; the modified Merton model and credit ratings from the rating institute Moody’s. The tests are implemented by Spearman’s ran

Att marknadsandelarna är av betydelse för dominansbedömningen är välkänt inom konkurrensrätten. Frågorna är snarare vilken och hur stor betydelse marknadsandelarna har för bedömningen och utgången i ett specifikt fall i förhållande till övriga faktorer. Frågan uppmärksammades redan i United Brands varför också domen har kommit att verka som prejudicerande rättspraxis för flertalet senarkommande do

The mean and volatility spillover effects from the US and the aggregate European stock markets into individual Scandinavian equity markets are investigated by applying an EGARCH volatility-spillover model. Both the mean and volatility spillover effects from the US market are found to be significant. The European mean-spillover effects are small, negligible, and insignificant whereas the EU volatil

Executive aggrandizement is the incremental and intentional dismantling of constitutional checks and balances on executive power. One particular manifestation of this phenomenon, studied within political science for more than 100 years, is the lawful expropriation by executives of the theoretically exclusive lawmaking power of legislatures, an aggrandizement in conflict with the prescriptions of M

The field of learned image compression has been facing rapid development and research engagement. In this thesis, we seek to make an addition to the field by extending a state-of-the-art learned image compression architecture, called LIC-TCM, by incorporating a depth map as a second complementary modality to further enhance the image compression. Furthermore, we explore the inverse, meaning we pri

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) has been scrutinised in a large variety of fields and from a wide variety of perspectives. Yet, each new published article proves there is more to be uncovered of the novel and its characters. Still, there exists a discrepancy in the attention afforded to its narrators, as the character of Victor Frankenstein is overshadowed by that of the Creature. This phenomen

Climate change is an escalating global issue, with various parts of the world being impacted differently depending on their geographic placement, development status and financial resources. Over the last couple of decades, the intensified climate change impacts have made the climate a subject to be securitized. This happens when a securitizing actor, like a state representative, articulates the cl

Anonymous forms of non-art photography have received a great deal of attention in recent years. Museum exhibitions and published compilations of what is commonly referred to as ‘vernacular photography’ have appeared regularly since the late 1990s. An interest in photographs produced by anonymous amateurs is further reflected in the growing popularity of collecting snapshots that have been lost or

One third of all food that is globally produced is wasted every year. This essay develops a duty approach to the growing global food waste. Is there a duty not to waste food? The theoretical perspective of this essay is based on the correlative between rights and duties and on Thomas W. Pogge’s theories of global institutional duties. The thesis is that there is a global duty not to contribute to

If two undertakings agree to increase their prices, companies may infringe Article 101 of the TFEU which prohibits anti-competitive agreements and concerted practices. If the market is divided between two or more undertakings, the agreement may constitute abuse of collective dominance under Article 102 TFEU. The undertakings might be able to adjust their behaviour so that they could behave as they
