Den europeiska gemenskapen inom försvars-och säkerhetsfrågor rör sig allt mer ifrån transnationellt samarbete mot federal integration. Parallellt med denna utveckling identifieras på EU-nivå i dagsläget dessutom en rad nya säkerhetspolitiska utmaningar som både unionen och medlemsstaterna till stor del är överens om att hantera gemensamt. Likväl förekommer också att krav ställs på mer nationellt sThe European Community in the fields of defence and security is at large moving further and further from transnational cooperation towards federal integration. In line with this development, a number of new security policy challenges have today been identified at EU level and both the EU and a majority of its member states agree that they need to be addressed jointly. Nevertheless, demands from me

Background and objectives Baonaise is a novel plant-based savoury sauce. Baonaise sauce base (BSB) is produced from baobab fruit pulp. Creaming and phase separation were observed in Baonasie from previous studies at the company. In this study, concentration, temperature and type of oil, speed and time of mixing were studied to investigate the factors influencing the physical stability of baobab p

The factors determining the course of glomerular fitration rate (GFR) and albumin excretion rate (AER) and the expression of mRNA of slit diaphragm (SD) and podocyte proteins in microalbuminuric, hypertensive type II diabetic patients are not fully understood. GFR, AER, and SD protein mRNA were studied in 86 microalbuminuric, hypertensive, type II diabetics at baseline and after 4-year random doub

The main objectives of this study were to outline the inter-and intraindividual and overall pharmacokinetic variability of S-citalopram, S-desmethylcitalopram, and S-didesmethylcitalopram in serum by means of therapeutic drug monitoring; and to investigate potential correlations between the serum concentration and simultaneously collected clinical data. The study was conducted on outpatients in Sw

Giant bamboo plantations are currently being established in the Southern Africa region and can be considered as potential lignocellulosic feedstock for the production of second generation bioethanol. In this study, giant bamboo internodal material was subjected to sulphur dioxide (SO2) impregnated steam pretreatment prior to enzymatic hydrolysis. The effect of temperature, residence time, and acid

An anti-ERBB2 antibody, trastuzumab, has been shown to be highly efficient in the treatment of metastatic breast cancers overexpressing the ERBB2 gene. It has been suggested that overexpression and even amplification of ERBB2 may play a role in the development of prostate cancer. Here, we have analyzed gene copy number and expression of the ERBB2 gene in both androgen-dependent primary and metasta

Background: CD14, a receptor for lipopolysaccharides (LPS), is found in both a membrane-bound form (mCD14) and a soluble form (sCD14). It is suggested that sCD14 is mainly released from blood monocytes by serine protease-mediated shedding. Because alpha(1)-antitrypsin (AAT), an inhibitor of serine proteases, has been shown to regulate CD14 expression in human monocytes in vitro, we sought to inves

In addition to fermentable sugars, dilute-acid hydrolysates of lignocellulose contain compounds that inhibit fermenting microorganisms, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Previous results show that phenolic compounds and furan aldehydes, and to some extent aliphatic acids, act as inhibitors during fermentation of dilute-acid hydrolysates of spruce. Treatment of lignocellulose hydrolysates with alka

Background: Heparin-binding protein (HBP) is a neutrophil-derived protein advocated as a biomarker in sepsis. We evaluated plasma HBP as a predictor of post-injury sepsis in trauma patients. Methods: Ninety-seven trauma patients were studied during the first week of intensive care. Injury-related data were collected and clinical parameters registered daily. Plasma HBP was sampled on day 1, 3 and 5

Objective. Assessment of disease activity in vasculitis can be achieved using the BVAS, a clinical checklist of relevant symptoms, signs and features of active disease. The aim of this study was to revalidate the BVAS version 3 (BVAS v. 3) in a cohort of patients with systemic vasculitis. Methods. A total of 238 patients with vasculitis from seven countries in Europe were evaluated at a single tim

Sufficient solute and water removal are crucial for adequate peritoneal dialy- sis (PD) treatment. However, present clinical tests for peritoneal membrane trans- port characteristics are cumbersome and time consuming. Here, a mathematical model consisting of linear differential equations aiming to describe the complex process of solute and water transport accross the peritoneal membrane, in order

Kraftringens geotermianläggning i Lund har varit i drift sen 1984. Det är den enda stora geoter-miska anläggningen i Sverige. Efter mer än 30 års drift är det dags att utvärdera hur det har fungerat. Arbetet be-skriver de geologiska förutsättningarna som stratigrafi (formation), formationstemperatur, typ av akvifer, porositet, permeabilitet och vattenkemi, samt driftdata, systemuppbyggnad, funktio

När nazistiska Nordiska motståndsrörelsen demonstrerade i Göteborg 30 september 2017 skapade det livlig debatt i media om rasistiska partiers rättigheter. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att vidga perspektivet på diskussionen i Sverige genom att undersöka hur stater kan bekämpa rasistiska partier utifrån idén om militant demokrati. Uppsatsen redogör för konceptet militant demokrati och undersöker On the 30th of September 2017 the Swedish Nazi party Nordiska motståndsrörelsen had a permit to demonstrate in the streets of Gothenburg. This was followed by a heated debate in the media on the rights of these kind of parties. The purpose of this essay is to add a wider perspective on the discussion in Sweden by examining how states can combat racist parties on the basis of militant democracy. Th

Min utgångspunkt har varit de senaste årens trendbrott i boendepreferenser, där storstäderna inte växer i samma takt som tidigare. Allt fler söker sig till platser med stort utbud av småhus, närhet till natur, goda förbindelser till arbete och rimligare kvadratmeterpriser. Till följd av detta har flera mindre kommuner och orter fått en skjuts i befolkningstillväxt. En av dessa kommuner är min egOver the last years the bigger cities in Sweden haven’t grown at the same speed as before. There has been a rising trend of people choosing to live outside of the big cities as they tend to look for areas with proximity to nature, large selection of small houses, good connections to work and more reasonable square meter prices. As a result, several smaller municipalities and towns have received a

Quantum annealing provides a promising avenue for obtaining good approximate solutions to difficult optimization problems. Protein folding represents one such problem. For testing novel algorithms and technologies, simplified lattice models are well suited, as they represent considerable computational challenges despite their simplicity. One such model is the HP model, where the protein is represe

Prediction of flood and evaluation of the impact of climate change in a catchment needs to be correctly estimated, which can be accomplished by hydrological modelling in HEC-HMS. In this paper, the objectives were to gain an understanding of the rainfall-runoff process and estimate the flood frequency curve in the Kävlinge River Basin. However, due to the complexity of a catchment, models should b

Sweden faces an upcoming period where thousands of buildings built during the million program period will be in need of a façade renovation. There is a large energy-saving potential in these buildings, since they are often poorly insulated and often have a ventilation system without heat recovery. Performing energy-efficient renovation measures to a building are expensive, which results in that th
