The Copenhagen Food Coop (CFC) is an alternative food community in Copenhagen that provides locally grown organic vegetables and fruits to its members. It also disseminates knowledge on organic and sustainable food production, distribution, and consumption and aims to develop a participatory and inclusive community organisation. Some scholars see such alternative food networks as having great pote
Amyloid fibrils of α-synuclein (α-syn) are a component of Lewy bodies, the characteristic hallmark of Parkinson's disease. Amyloid fibrils arise through primary nucleation from monomers, which in the case of α-syn is often heterogeneous, followed by the growth of the nuclei by monomer addition. Secondary nucleation corresponds to the formation of new fibrils facilitated by pre-existing fibrils. Wh
We report on the influence of doping on the band-edge abruptness of InAs/GaSb p-n and p-i-n tunnel diodes. Understanding and fabrication of a well-defined and sharp band edge is mandatory for tunnel FET operation. InAs/GaSb nanowire junctions were selectively grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates using template assisted selective epitaxy
Human intrahepatic lymphocytes are enriched in CD1d-unrestricted T cells coexpressing NKR. Although the origin of this population remains controversial, it is possible to speculate that the hepatic microenvironment, namely epithelial cells or the cytokine milieu, may play a role in its shaping. IL-15 is constitutively expressed in the liver and has a key role in activation and survival of innate a
The transcriptional events that control T cell tolerance are still poorly understood. To investigate why tolerant T cells fail to produce interleukin (IL)-2, we analyzed the regulation of NFkappaB-mediated transcription in CD4(+) T cells after tolerance induction in vivo. We demonstrate that a predominance of p50-p50 homodimers binding to the IL-2 promoter kappaB site in tolerant T cells correlate
How can we reconcile the conception of language as a conventional-normative semiotic system with a perception/action-based account of its structure and meaning? And why should linguistic meaning - as opposed to linguistic expression - be so closely related to motor activity and its neural underpinnings, as suggested by recent findings? A conceptual framework and evolutionary scenario building on t
Downstream regulatory element antagonist modulator (DREAM)/potassium channel interacting protein (KChIP3) is a multifunctional protein of the neuronal calcium sensor subfamily of Ca2+-binding proteins with specific roles in different cell compartments. In the nucleus, DREAM acts as a Ca2+-dependent transcriptional repressor, and outside the nucleus DREAM interacts with Kv4 potassium channels, regu
Forskning kring tidigt liv möter svårigheter utöver de som forskning kring senare liv ställs inför. På grund av att de tidigaste bergarterna inte finns bevarade har viktig information om jordens tidiga förhållanden för evigt gått förlorad. Dessutom var de tidigaste livsformerna små och morfologiskt enkla, vilket betyder att abiotiska pseudofossil lätt kan infiltrera fossilarkivet. Ett centralt tem
Conducted between the months of January and March 2012 in Eldoret Kenya, this study sought to find out why the internally displaced women of Yamumbi IDP Camp A remained trapped in the displacement camp. The study sought the opinions and views of the women. By applying qualitative approach method of semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions hand-recorded data was collected. Using purpo
Konklusionen i uppsatsen är att skatteflykt utgör möjligheten att genom gränsöverskridande transaktioner minimera sin skatt genom nyttjande av skattekonkurrens mellan jurisdiktioner. Hur skatteflykt bedöms juridiskt skiljer sig åt mellan EU-rätten, som anser att om substans i etablering föreligger är skatteflykt ett legalt nyttjande av etableringsfriheten och svensk rätt, som ser till rättshandlinThe essay concludes that tax evasion is the possibility through cross-border transactions minimize taxes through use of tax competition between jurisdictions. How avoidance and evasion is legally jugded differs between EU law, that statues if substance in establishment exists is tax evasion or avoidance a legal exercise of the right of establishment, and the Swedish law, which refer to legal docum
The aim of this project was to investigate the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum 299v on the flocculating behaviour of beer starter culture yeast strains isolated from both top and bottom fermenting yeasts from a previous study (Li.Yu.,2014 unpublished). In the present study,microbial enumeration was done through basic culturing and plating techniques. Yeast strains and isolates of Lactobacillus p
The mining industry is characterized by a hazardous working environment for its employed blue-collar workers and a general complexity of valuation for investors. By theories of behav-ioral finance, corporate social responsibility, and others outlined in the following, this makes a setting where one could plausibly expect reactions and even overreactions among investors to fatal accidents incurred
The war in Ukraine has made the issue of energy poverty salient again in Germany after a long period of political neglect and limited attention. In studying the issue, I bridged agency and structure by employing Hajer’s Argumentative Discourse Analysis to examine both discourse coalitions and their storylines between 2017 and early 2022. I examined the discursive mechanisms behind the marginalizat
The Swedish ministry of education recently voiced intentions to uproot over a decade's worth of digital implementation in the classroom, on the back of falling PISA results and increasing reports of learning difficulties. Empirical evidence for either positive or negative effects on learning stemming from computer usage is scarce and inconclusive. Utilizing a fixed effects model that exploits
The androgen receptor is a key transcription factor contributing to the development of all stages of prostate cancer (PCa). In addition, other transcription factors have been associated with poor prognosis in PCa, amongst which c-Myc (MYC) is a well-established oncogene in many other cancers. We have previously reported that the AR promotes glycolysis and anabolic metabolism; many of these metabol
Arbetet syftar till att undersöka hur en domstol kan gå tillväga i bevisvärderingen av sakkunnigbevisning när det finns motstridig sådan och hur en sådan bevisvärdering förhåller sig till robusthetskravet. Robusthet är ett mått på sannolikheten att ett bevisfaktums stöd för ett tema förändras vid ytterligare utredning. Med utgångspunkt i en deskriptiv del av arbetet, där bevisrättsliga principer The thesis’ purpose is to examine how a court of law can evaluate expert testimony when both the prosecutor and the defense have called experts who give contrary statements. The examined evidence evaluation is thereafter analyzed with regards to the notion of robustness in evidence. Robustness is a way of measuring the probability that additional evidence will alter the probability based on the ex
Russia has been issuing passports to Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus since the Soviet dissolution. Most targeted are secessionist regions of former Soviet states, whose populations are now becoming Russian due to passportisation. This has had several effects on the Eastern Neighbourhood, including brain drain, meaning that the highly educated and skilled citizens are emigrating. The brain dr
