The weakness of Japan's economy during the "lost decade" of the 1990's prompted critical revaluation of many regulatory policies that became entrenched during the country's rapid expansion in the postwar era. At the time of the bursting of Japan's bubble economy, regulation and the behavior of the private sector had combined to cause low levels of imports and inward inves
This study departs from the constructivist approach to research the Manners` concept of the European Union as a "normative power" or norm exporter. The focus is diffusion of the regional co-operation model that EU has been promoting as a foreign policy goal. Study presents motives and policies behind that objective. Conditionality of regional co-operation is also the distinctive feature
This mainly explorative study examines the nature and environmental conditions of Social Entrepreneurship in China. It makes use of the theory of the network society, which allows to analyze the relationship of three mutually related elements: the global network, the changing role of the nationstate, and the question of identity. The last factor is, as will be argued, closely related to social mov
Williams is a long standing, family owned and operated Formula 1 team. Their track record of success is closely tied to their status as a skilled and independent constructor in a highly competitive and monetized sport. When founder Frank Williams steps aside and his daughter Claire takes over, the team struggles to produce the glory of yesteryear. Claire’s appointment fuels accusations of nepotism
This thesis is mainly focused on a proof of the Jordan Curve Theorem. We follow Tverberg’s paper: A PROOF OF THE JORDAN CURVE THEOREM, but add some more details and graphics in order to make this topological proof more understandable. Later in this thesis, the proof of the Poincare-Bendixson Theorem will also be discussed, as an application of the Jordan Curve Theorem.
Effekter av inducerad hypotermi på hjärna och hjärta efter hjärtstillestånd Patienter i coma efter hjärtstillestånd vårdas på IVA och en majoritet behandlas med hypotermi i neuroprotektivt syfte. Hypotermins effekt på hjärtat är dåligt känd. I samarbete med sjukhusen i Malmö och Helsingborg samlar vi fortlöpande data från behandlade patienter och följer upp med återbesök hos neurolog efter 6 mån.Effects of actively induced hypothermia on the brain and the heart after cardiac arrest. Patients in coma after cardiac arrest will be treated by actively induced hypothermia in the intensive care ward with the aim of being neuroprotective. The effect of hypothermia on the heart is not known. In collaboration with the hospitals in Malmö and Helsingborg data from these patients are introduced in a
Avdelningen Studentstöd och lärande ger service och stöd till studenter och består av tre arbetsgrupper: Pedagogiskt studentstöd, Studieverkstaden och SI-verksamhet.Student Support and Learning provide service and support to students, and comprises three working groups: Disability Support Services, the Academic Support Centre, and the Supplemental Instruction unit.
Akademiintendenturen ansvarar för att planera, koordinera och genomföra universitetets akademiska högtider, andra stora tillställningar och event, såsom Årshögtiden, Nit och Redlighet och Diplomeringsceremonin samt officiella besök. I detta ingår presskontakter och kommunikation kring arrangemangen samt kontakter med externa parter kopplade till arrangemangen. I avdelningens uppdrag ligger även et
Inom detta forskningsområde behandlar vi miljö- och energisystemaspekter av övergången från fossila till biobaserade bränslen och kemikalier. Vår forskning tar upp effekterna av politiska styrmedel och marknadskrav på övergången, men ger också input till beslutsfattare om hur man formulerar styrmedel som stödjer hållbara biobaserade produktionssystem. Utvecklingen av nya biobaserade produktionssyWithin this research area we deal with environmental and energy systems aspects of the transition from fossil to biobased fuels and chemicals. Our research addresses impacts of policies and market demands on the transition, but also provides input to decision makers on how to formulate policies that support sustainable biobased production systems. The development of new biobased production system
Tommy Andersson är forskargruppsledare för den här forskargruppenOur studies are focused on the revelation of WNT5A, a secreted glycoprotein. WNT5A belongs to the non-transforming class of WNTs, and upon binding to different receptors or co-receptor complexes, it elicits non-canonical (β-catenin-independent) signaling. WNT5A act as both tumor promoter as well as tumor suppressor, depending on cell type. For example, in breast cancer loss of WNT5A protein is ass
Luftvägsinfektioner är en av våra vanligaste infektionssjukdomar. Forskargruppen fokuserar på olika aspekter av luftvägsinfektioner, framför allt vid tillstånd med nedsatt immunförsvar lokalt i luftvägarna som t ex vid cystisk fibros och hos lungtransplanterade. Projekten utforskar t ex biomarkörer för bakteriella infektioner i luftvägsprover, hur det medfödda immunförsvaret i lungan fungerar vid Airway infections are one of the most common infectious diseases. The research group focuses on different aspects of airway infections, especially in pulmonary conditions associated with impaired innate immunity in the airways, such as cystic fibrosis (CF) and lung transplant recipients. The projects address issues such as biomarkers for bacterial infection in airway samples, how innate immunity f
We investigate whether acquiring more education when young has long-term effects on risk-taking behavior in financial markets and whether the effects spill over to spouses and children. There is substantial evidence that more educated people are more likely to invest in the stock market. However, little is known about whether this is a causal effect of education or whether it arises from the corre
Background: Almost 1/3 of heart failure patients fail to respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). A simple clinical score to predict who these patients are at the moment of referral or at time of implant may be of importance for early optimization of their management. Methods: Observational study. A risk score was derived from factors associated to CRT response. The derivation cohort wa
Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) are membrane-bound receptors which bind the Fc fragment of antigen-bound IgGs. The binding generates cell signaling and subsequently an immunological response. In this way FcγRs are important links between the humoral and cellular parts of the immune system. Three families of FcγRs have been identified in human, FcγRI, FcγRII and FcγRIII. FcγRI has high affinity for IgG
