Interest in the distinctive features of early Christian manuscripts (e.g. codex format, staurogram, nomina sacra, handwriting, and lectional signs) has increased significantly over the last decade. They are no longer merely identified and compared, but also put into a sociocultural context of early Christian scribal habits and reading culture. Similarly, more attention is constantly being directed
Swedish emigration to America is a topic that does not hold a major position in Swedish historical research anymore. At one time, during the 1960s and 1970s, there were a major research project, Sweden and America after 1860, that focused primarily on the reasons of the migration, the demographics of the migration and to some extent what happened to the emigrants in America. The research project d
Background: Whether and how n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are related to type 2 diabetes (T2D) is debated. Objectively measured plasma PUFAs can help to clarify these associations. Methods and Findings: Plasma phospholipid PUFAs were measured by gas chromatography among 12,132 incident T2D cases and 15,919 subcohort participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Canc
Abstract. Activation of sympathetic nerves increases circulating glucose and inhibits insulin release from the islet beta-cells, which might contribute to stress-related diabetes. Accordingly, we have shown previously that blockade of parasympathetic activity aggravates diabetes in alloxan-treated mice, suggesting that unopposed sympathetic activity impairs diabetes. In this study, we tested wheth
Background: Risks that are potentially associated with long-term therapies should be assessed. Objective: The present analyses were performed to determine the risk of malignancy in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) receiving subcutaneous (sc) interferon (IFN) beta-1a, using pooled safety data from key clinical trials and data from the Merck Serono Global Drug Safety database. Methods: The stan
Högre verkningsgrader, stabilitet och minskad toxicitet; så skall framtidens solceller nå verkligheten. Många hoppas att solenergi ska ta över våra energibehov och varje dag närmar vi oss en grönare utvinning av elektricitet. Kommer våra bilar och byggnader täckas av solceller i framtiden? Inte helt omöjligt, om vi kan bemästra det fascinerande materialet perovskit. På EPFL, Ecóle Polytechnique FPerovskite research has quickly gone from non-existent to one of the biggest reseach areas in Photo- voltaics. There are still many questions to be solved regarding the stability, environmental impact, reproducible large area devices, efficiency and module fabrication cost of Perovskite Solar Cells, PSCs, before commercial up-scaling. Scientists all over the world are working towards solutions and
Begreppet särskild måttfullhet har styrt marknadsföring av tobaksprodukter sedan 1975. Idag råder som huvudregel ett förbud mot marknadsföring av tobaksprodukter. Ett av undantagen till huvudregeln är att kommersiella meddelanden inom butiker får förekomma så länge de inte är uppsökande, påträngande eller uppmanande till bruk av tobak. Dessutom måste dessa kommersiella meddelanden, för att vara tiThe concept of particular moderation has governed the marketing of tobacco products since 1975. As a general rule, marketing of tobacco products is forbidden. One of the exceptions to this general rule is that commercial messages within shops may occur as long as they are not reaching out to people, intrusive or inciting the use of tobacco. In addition, these commercial messages must, in order to
Title: The EU Way, or the Huawei? A comparative study of the values projected onto Europe’s 5G network by the Chinese Communist Party and the European Union. The purpose of this investigation is to look closer on the value-tension between the European Union and the Chinese Communist Party regarding which values are present in the official policies of these entities and how these values are projec
Principen om barnets bästa ska beaktas i lagstiftning, administrativa beslut och andra åtgärder som berör barn. Innebörden av principen om barnets bästa och principens genomslag i rättstillämpning är omdiskuterad. Principen om barnets bästa återfinns i lag (1990:52) om vård av barn och unga (LVU) som en portalbestämmelse och ska påverka alla beslut som tas enligt lagen. Diskussioner om stärkt barnThe principle of the best interests of the child shall be taken into consideration in legislation, administrative decisions and other measures concerning children. The meaning of the best interests of the child and the principle’s impact on the application of law is disputed. The principle of the best interests of the child can be found in the Act with Special provisions on the care of Young Perso
After the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 (GFC) monetary policy and central banking have changed remarkably. Central banks responded to the crisis with extraordinary measures to preserve financial stability but were also largely left alone to fight the economic slow-down and deflationary forces initiated by the crisis. The role of the central bank has expanded enormously and 'unconventional mo
Characterization of a gene associated with polar growth in Streptomyces venezuelae Bacteria display a variety of shapes which includes spheres, rods, spirals etc. This variety of cell morphology is determined by the cell wall and the cytoskeleton, and by mechanisms that control growth, cell division and cell wall synthesis for example in response to the surrounding environment. Streptomyces spp.
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Inflödet av kosmiskt material till jorden har inte varit konstant sedan jorden bildandes, men det är svårt att studera hur inflödet förändrats eftersom meteoriter lätt omvandlas och förstörs på jordytan. En metod för att studera förändringar i inflödet av kosmiskt material till jorden är att titta på förändringar i halten kromit i sediment. Kromit är ett mineralMeteorites are easily altered in the oxygen-rich environment on the Earth surface. Fossil meteorites are thus uncommon and in the ones, which are found, almost all minerals are secondary. However, the spinel group mineral chromite is resistant to alteration and has successfully been used as a proxy for ordinary chondrites in sediment. The frequency and composition range of spinel group minerals in
Colombia is a country characterized by an intense internal armed conflict, which has its foundation in political instability followed by discontent among the population of the country. With the rise of drug lords, rebel groups, paramilitaries and army the conflict has continuously intensified towards the government, which has left countless of civilians displaced and vulnerable. The political corr
This study explores the implications of an encampment policy - criminalising refugees’ mobility beyond the borders of a camp - for the potential of Cash Based Transfer assistance in protracted refugee situations. As the success of Cash Based Transfer assistance implies market availability and access to commodities, and certain interaction between the host community and refugee population, it is ar
Den svenska straffrätten har under det senaste århundradet genomgått en mängd förändringar. Allt som oftast har påföljdssystemet varit utformad efter de för tillfället förhärskande bestraffningsteorierna. Det finns en lång tradition av särbehandling av unga lagöverträdare i Sverige och till viss del så tas hänsyn till andra intressen när det gäller ungdomar. Denna framställning ska besvara frågornSwedish penal law has undergone many changes over the last centuries. The sanction system has most often been modelled on penalization theories dominant at the time. Sweden has a long tradition of special treatment of young offenders, and other interest are to some extent taken into consideration when it comes to juvenile offenders compared to adults. This essay will answer the questions of which

The court does not use legally binding judgements to fulfil the requisite criminal acts. The purpose of this essay is to examine if the use of
Sverige har länge varit förskonat från korruption av större omfattning, landet brukar i Transparency Internationals årliga rapporter rankas som ett av länderna med minst korruption. Det senaste decenniet har dock flera stora korruptionshärvor i myndigheter och offentlig verksamhet uppmärksammats av media och väckt stort intresse hos allmänheten. Undersökningar som BRÅ publicerat visar att mutor i
The SABR model has for a long time been an invaluable tool for capturing the volatility smile and to price nancial derivatives not quoted in the market. However, the current negative rate environment in the EUR market has led to numerous challenges for nancial institutions. One of the most problematic issues is that the SABR model used for volatility interpolation and extrapolation fails when rate
This master thesis is the first step in developing a new laboratory process for the automatic control basic course. The new process should illustrate the benefits of state-space control compared to PID control. A process with several outputs to control is then desired as a single PID controller does not support such a system. The suggested process consists of two carts mounted on a linear rail and
Att vara mor till ett barn ger omfattande rättsverkningar såsom vårdnad, förmynderskap och arv. Det rättsliga moderskapet bestäms i svensk rätt av moderskapspresumtionen och är inte lagfäst annat än undantagsvis. Om moderskapet skulle vara oklart eller korrekta uppgifter saknas i folkbokföringen, kan ledning inte sökas i föräldrabalken. I stället har praxis utvisat att talan om moderskap får väckaMotherhood implies several legal aspects, such as custody, guardianship and inheritance. Legal maternal status is established based on an unwritten legal presumption of motherhood. In Sweden, this presumption is grounded in unwritten law, which is why uncertain motherhood is not to be determined by the Children and Parents Code. Precedents show that maternity instead may be determined by a declara
