This unique collection of essays has been compiled in honour of Professor Göran Melander, one of the founders of the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI), in Lund, Sweden. Göran Melander served as the Institute’s first director and subsequently as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The volume illustrates the complex relationship between dissemination of human

It is believed that neural activity evoked by cognitive tasks is spatially correlated in certain frequency bands. The electroencephalogram (EEG) is highly affected by noise of large amplitude which calls for sophisticated time local coherence estimation methods. In this paper we investigate different approaches to estimate time local coherence between two real valued signals. Our results indica

Popular Abstract in Swedish Så gott som alla metaller reagerar vid normala omständigheter med syret i luften och oxideras, vilket förändrar materialets egenskaper. T.ex. rostar järn efter hand, något som alla bilägare är bittert medvetna om. Oxider behöver dock inte vara negativa, utan kan även fungera som barriärer mot fortsatt korrosion, isolerande skikt i mikroelektronikkomponenter m.m. FöljaktThe oxidation of Rh, Pd and Pt is studied under conditions ranging from ultra high vacuum to ambient pressures, with emphasis on a complete understanding of the geometry of the various oxide structures found. The investigations use a combination of various experimental methods, including high resolution core level spectroscopy, low energy electron diffraction, surface x-ray diffraction and scannin

uses a microporous membrane operated in cross-flow. The continuous phase is pumped along the membrane and sweeps away dispersed phase droplets forming from pore openings as shown in Figure 1. The key feature of the membrane emulsification process, which sets it apart from conventional emulsification technologies, is that the size distribution of the resulting droplets is primarily governed by the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Intraoperativ strålbehandling (IORT) innebär att en hög engångsstråldos ges direkt under operation till den kirurgiskt frilagda tumören och/eller kvarvarande tumörrester. Den vanligaste typen av strålning som används vid denna behandlingsform är elektronstrålning från konventionella medicinska linjäracceleratorer. Det krävs dock att ett speciellt applikatorsystem finns The aim of this work was to quantify limitations of and uncertainties in commonly used dosimetric techniques for relative absorbed dose determination in degraded electron beams, such as those encountered in intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) and small-electron-field radiotherapy. Three different detector types were investigated with regard to measurements of output factors and relative absorb

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige insjuknar årligen drygt 6000 kvinnor i bröstcancer. Antalet nyinsjuknade kvinnor i sjukdomen stiger något för varje år samtidigt som dödligheten minskar. En av orsaken till den minskade dödligheten är modern medicinsk behandling som idag kompletterar den kirurgiska behandlingen. Sjukdomsförloppet vid bröstcancer är mycket varierande beroende på tumörens utbredBackground: Treatment of primary breast cancer is individualised and adjuvant systemic treatment is delivered to most patients after surgery. Oestrogen receptor (ER) status and progesterone receptor status (PR) can define patients who would benefit from adjuvant endocrine therapy with tamoxifen (TAM) alone or as chemo-endocrine therapy. In spite of adjuvant treatment with TAM, some patients with h

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärt-kärlsjukdomar är en ledande orsak av sjuklighet och dödlighet. Med hjälp av dagens moderna ultraljudsteknik är det möjligt att påvisa även begynnande, mycket diskreta kärlförändringar. En tidig upptäckt av dessa kan bli av betydelse för individens framtida hälsa. I ett antal studier har vi med hjälp av ultraljud undersökt kärlens styvhet och förmåga att vidgas (enCardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Early recognition of vascular changes, both structural and functional, may help to identify individuals at risk for CVD. Using modern ultrasound techniques – the echo-tracking technique for assessment of stiffness in large arteries and flow-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery as an indicator of endothelial

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vissa E. coli bakterier kan vara utrustad med arvsanlag (gener) som kodar för vidhäftningsfaktorer, som gör att den kan binda till tarmslemhinnan, eller toxiner som kan orsaka olika typer av tarmsjukdom som diarré. En annan faktorer som kan bidra till att en bakterie kan orsaka infektion är genkassetter, som kodar för en rad av olika gener, som t.ex för upptag av järn, The presence of genes in food, encoding some virulence factors, was studied by PCR, and species of Enterobacteriaceae, associated with food, were studied by the DNA-based methods of TTGE, ribotyping and sequencing. The flora of fresh and chill-stored pork were analysed by a culture-independent approach, using specific amplification of 16S rRNA genes followed by cloning and sequencing. No evidence

Performance demands put on combustion engines are ever increasing, e.g. demands on emissions and fuel consumption. The increased demands together with new combustion concepts increase the need for feedback engine and combustion control. Mathematical models are considered important in order to implement high performance feedback control, as well as to perform diagnostic functions in vehicles. Vario

Abstract Objective. Aerobic fitness, defined as maximum oxygen uptake (VO(2PEAK)), and body fat measurements represent two known risk factors for disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between VO(2PEAK) and body fat measurements in young children at a population-based level. Methods. Cross-sectional study of 225 children (128 boys and 97 girls) aged 8-11 years, recr

In this article we respond to Bargiela-Chiappini, Iedema and Mumby.We notice that there is considerable agreement concerning the state of the art of organizational discourse analysis, while also discussing the disagreements. We expand on some of the ontological issues inherent in our argument, further discuss the character of reductionism in organizational discourse analysis, the trappings of a pr

Oblivious to ion specificity, pH has been a key parameter for macromolecular solutions for little more than a century. We here widen the concept by describing the ionization of macromolecules not only via pH, but also pX where X are other binding species. Using binding constants, measured by NMR, of chloride and thiocyanate to amino acid motifs on g-crystallin, we calculate i) titration curves as
