1989 antog Europeiska Unionen ett vapenembargo mot Kina efter landets hårdhänta hantering av protesterna på Tiananmen-torget som ägde rum i juni samma år. Tjugo år senare är vapenembargot fortfarande i kraft, trots att flera medlemsländer återkommande har föreslagit att det ska hävas. Det finns många komplicerade förhållanden som gör att eventuella försök att antingen skärpa eller häva EU:s vapenThe European Union issued an arms embargo on China as a reaction to the repression of the protests at the Tiananmen Square in June 1989. Today, twenty years later, the arms embargo on China is still not lifted, even though several member states have suggested it. Several complicated issues are connected with the lifting of the arms embargo. The shape is significantly different from the other EU

Uneasy citizens: constructions of political cynicism among young satire audiencesYoung adult citizens are a mixed group – in both research and media, they’re seen as engaged and disengaged, as well as politically idealistic and cynical (cf. Amnå & Ekman 2014). This paper seeks to further understand this contradiction, by studying the Swedish young adult audience of news satire, a group that ha

The European species of Diglyphus Walker are reviewed. Fifteen species are included. One of these, D. clematidis sp. n., is described as new, and one, D. anadolucus Doganlar, is recorded as new to Europe. Several of the species have their geographical distribution increased as many new country records are introduced. New host records and compilation of host records from the literature are presente

The thesis addresses a practical problem that has recently emerged on the Swedish public procurement law agenda; the fact that a considerable number of initiated tender procedures are cancelled by the contracting authority. During the last decade, the number of cancelled tenders has increased yearly and in 2017 over 13 percent of the initiated procedures governed by the EU public procurement regul

During the epidemic of optic and peripheral neuropathy which occurred in Cuba in 1992-1993, viruses antigenically related to the Coxsackie viruses were isolated from cerebrospinal fluid of patients. Concurrently with the virologic studies, epidemiologic, toxicologic, nutritional, immunologic, and histopathologic investigations were also carried out. Although it was demonstrated that the illness wa

Stochastic radiation radar (SRR) systems allow for the forming of radar images by transmitting stochastic signals to form the stochastic radiation field and thereby increase the target observation information to achieve high resolution imaging. In this paper, we examine the use of the online SParse Iterative Covariance-based Estimation (SPICE) algorithm to suppress the noise and improve the operat

Since its development in the 1990s, the Regional Innovation Systems (RIS) approach has attracted considerable attention from economic geographers, innovation scholars and policy makers. The RIS approach is well-known in scientific discourse about the uneven geography of innovation and the factors that shape the knowledge generation and innovation capacities of regions. The aim of this paper is to

Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a significant human pathogen that has developed multipleimmune evasion mechanisms to counter the host immune response. One of these mechanisms involvesthe production of the M protein, which, amongst other things, acts as an anti-phagocytic factor and canbind host proteins. Another is the ability of M protein to bind a human protein called fibronectin (Fn). Thisprotei
