Postural control is the ability to maintain equilibrium and orientation in a gravitational environment. It is dependent on feedback and feedforward mechanisms that generate appropriate corrective movement based on body-sway motion detected primarily by visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive sensory systems. Since information from the various senses is not always accurate (e.g. by disease) or avail

The intensity of a fire is an important factor determining the recovery of soil microorganisms after a forest fire, since it can alter the quality and quantity of carbon sources. Recovery of the microbial community was studied in a Mediterranean pine forest soil subjected to different temperatures to simulate the short-term effects of fire intensity on bacterial and fungal growth, estimated using

Streptococcus pyogenes is a major human pathogen with more than 500 000 casualties annually of which at least 163 000 are due to invasive infections. The remainder is due to post-streptococcal complications with rheu¬matic heart disease constituting the majority. S. pyogenes also causes milder infections such as skin infections and pharyngitis with an estimation of more than 700 million cases each

Background: Transcription factors play a key role in lineage commitment and differentiation of stem cells into distinct mature cells. In hematopoiesis, they regulate lineage-specific gene expression in a stage-specific manner through various physical and functional interactions with regulatory proteins that are simultanously recruited and activated to ensure timely gene expression. The transcripti

Gasbildning i deponier kan pågå under mycket lång tid, och bidrar i väsentlig grad till antro-pogena utsläpp av växthusgaser i form av metanemissioner. Det finns ett behov av att få bättre kännedom hur läckage av metan sker, och av miljö samt ekonomiska skäl, är det viktigt att samla in och återvinna metangas. Albäcks avfallsupplag i Trelleborg, har sedan årsskiftet 2008/2009 upphört efter mer än

I takt med utbyggnaden av vindkraft har artskydd av fåglar blivit en ofta förekommande fråga i tillståndsprövningarna. I dessa förefaller 4 § artskyddsförordningen medföra tolknings- och tillämpningsproblem. Enligt dess ordalydelse ska bestämmelsen nämligen tillämpas på alla vilda fåglar, oavsett art, samt på vissa djurarter. Bestämmelsen föreskriver bland annat förbud mot att avsiktligt döda och In line with the expansion of wind power projects species protection of birds has become a frequent issue in permit procedures. In this context section 4 of the Species Protection Ordinance (2007:845) appears to result in difficulties when interpreted and applied. According to the provision, it should apply to all wild birds, regardless species, and some animal species. The provision stipulates, i

The term bibliotherapy is well known in several scientific fields as well as among practitioners in the US and in the UK, but in Sweden there seems to be a more modest use of the term as well as presence of practical bibliotherapeutic activity. On the other hand, some of the effects of reading that are commonly associated with bibliotherapy in the scientific literature seems to be similar to the e

Den 8 november 2011 gav den danska Sjö- och Handelsrätten en dom i Rolex III som resulterade i en del osäkerhet angående det rättsliga klimatet kring intellektuella rättigheter, i synnerhet angående privata importer av varor som gör intrång i sådana rättigheter. Avgörandet i Rolex III är kontroversiellt eftersom det förlitar sig på användandet av en legal fiction på ett sådant sätt att avgörandetsOn November 8th 2011 the Danish Maritime and Commercial Court pronounced a ruling on the Rolex III case which caused uncertainty regarding the legal climate of intellectual property law, specifically the importation of infringing goods for private use. As the Rolex III case is quite a controversial ruling, relying on the use of legal fiction in such a way that its legal validity is questionable, i

Denna uppsats tar avstamp i mål B 1883-12 och B 1195/13 gällande så kallade otrohetskontroller. Hovrätten lade i båda fallen fokus på begreppet sexuell handling och har använts sig av prop. 2004/05:45 - En ny sexualbrottslagstiftning som utgångspunkt för att avgöra om handlingarna bör definieras såsom sexuella eller ej. Således avgjordes huruvida handlingarna föll inom området för sexualbrott, merThis essay takes its starting point in cases B 1883-12 and B 1195/13 concerning actions made by men in order to control suspected infidelity in their respective girlfriends. In the legal process The Swedish Court of Appeal, Hovrätten, put their main focus on the term sexual action. Further the court in both cases used the legislative proposal, prop. 2004/05:45 - En ny sexualbrottslagstiftning, lea

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka framträdandet av den externa dimensionen av principen om folkets rätt till självbestämmande i internationell rätt, dvs rätten för ett folk att utträda ur en existerande stat och kräva självständighet. Genom att använda den diskursanalytiska metod som utvecklades av Michel Foucault i hans arbete Vetandets Arkeologi, utgör den ett försök att skissera de möjliThe purpose of this study is to examine the emergence of the external dimension of the principle of the people's right to self-determination in international law, that is the right of a people to secede from an existing state and claim independence. Using the archeological method of discourse analysis as developed by Michel Foucault in his work The Archeology of Knowledge, it is an attempt at

Denna studie har för avsikt att visualisera och förklara variationer och mönster i välmående i distriktet Hambantota i södra Sri Lanka. Detta görs genom att använda en stor intervjudatabas från distriktet med frågor och svar om subjektivt välmående och andra utvecklingsfaktorer och sammankoppla denna med en tillgänglighetsmodell. Denna modell är utvecklad i ett Geografiskt Informationssystem (GIS)This study tries to visualise and explain variations and patterns in well-being throughout the Hambantota District in southern Sri Lanka. This is accomplished by using a large interview database with questions and answers on developing factors and subjective well-being and linking this to a model of accessibility. The accessibility model was developed in a Geographical Information System (GIS) as
