Innovation is considered one of the most important drivers for economic growth but measuring innovation is complex and abstract. To measure innovation, it is common to use proxies such as patent and R&D expenditure. How good of a measure is patents when it comes to explaining economic growth? Patents have faced a lot of critique when being used as a proxy for innovation, quality adjustment for

Telomeres are special DNA-protein structures that protect ends of chromosomes from being recognized as double-strand breaks. Telomeres consist of tandemly repeated units of TG-rich DNA and associate with telomere-specific proteins.When a cell replicates its chromosomes, a certain piece of DNA is lost from chromosomal ends due to the ´´ end replication problem´´. This progressive shortening of telo

The comfortable garment is about creating a comfortable experience with all that it implies, both physiologically and psychologically. The project describes the interaction between expectations and needs, in and across situations, in order to be and feel prepared, relaxed, and while still well dressed. The Expectation of this project is that it should be an eye opener to take get new knowledge abo

Cooperation initiatives across national borders is growing phenomenon all over the world due to developing globalization and regionalization. Growing trend of spatial reorganization of production process, massive growth of markets and labor recourses, opportunities to “escape” from spatial and resource dependencies are stimulating international cross-border interactions and emergence of cross-bord

High performance of an explosive compound with respect to afterburning requires sufficient combustible properties of the explosive, and a careful determination of the most appropriate charge positioning to achieve the desired afterburning effect. Understanding the physical processes of post-detonation afterburning and how these are affected by the surroundings, e.g. the Height of Burst (HoB), faciHigh performance of an explosive compound with respect to afterburning requires sufficient combustible properties of the explosive, and a careful determination of the most appropriate charge positioning to achieve the desired afterburning effect.

The main goal of this thesis is to show how operational risk can be measured if even the use of standard extreme value theory fails to explain single catastrophic events in the tail of the distribution. Against the background of regulatory requirements imposed by the Basel Accords, an Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) is developed for a dataset of operational losses occurred in US businesses bet

The laws of “secret room interception” and “actions to prevent certain serious crimes” took effect in January 2008. A year later the law of “actions to investigate certain crimes that are dangerous to society” was enforced. All three laws gave the law enforcement authorities new conditions for the use of secret coercive measures. The law enforcement authorities are entitled to use secret room inte

Popular Abstract in English The sesquiterpene lactones is an important group of natural products, and they are present in many medicinal plants. Their most important biological activities are anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activity, although for many decades their potential use as drugs was dismissed. The main reason for this was their alkylating capacity, reacting with thiol functions in proteDamsin (1) is a natural sesquiterpene lactone (SL) isolated from Ambrosia arborescens Mill., a plant used in the Andes as antiinflammatory medicine. This natural product is an inhibitor of NF- κB, a protein complex that controls the transcription of many genes in mammalian cells, and has a potential for standing model for the development of new anti-cancer lead structures. In order to improve the
