Popular Abstract in Swedish Extrakt från växten Artemisia annua har dokumenterats för sina anti-malaria egenskaper. Substansen är en mycket effektiv medicin mot malaria och hjälper även mot de former där multi-resistens utvecklats.1979 presenterades strukturen på den aktiva substansen. Den benämns artemisinin och är uppbygd av femton kol innehållandes en peroxid-brygga (två syre kopplade till varaPlants produce a multitude of different compounds that may have biotic effects. Artemisia annua, produces a compound used as a drug against multi-drug-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite causing malaria. The compound, artemisinin, is a sesquiterpene and is an essential component for the production of artemisinin drugs against malaria. In a first critical step of the biosynthes

Outliers pose a problem in all real structure from motion systems. Due to the use of automatic matching methods one has to expect that a (sometimes very large) portion of the detected correspondences can be incorrect. In this paper we propose a method that estimates the relative translation between two cameras and simultaneously maximizes the number of inlier correspondences. Traditionally, outlie

A series of structures of trans-[MX(2)(PBz(3))(2)] [M = Pt, X = Cl(-); PBz(3) = tribenzylphosphine (1), I(-), trans-diiodobis(tribenzylphosphine)platinum(II) (2), and NCS(-), trans-di(thiocyanate)bis(tribenzylphosphine)platinum(II) (3); M = Pd, X = I(-), trans-diiodobis(tribenzylphosphine)palladium(II) (4)] have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. In all compounds each tribenzylphosphine

Abstract—Resource management in IT–enterprises gain more and more attention due to high operation costs. For instance, web sites are subject to very changing traffic–loads over the year, over the day, or even over the minute. Online adaption to the changing environment is one way to reduce losses in the operation. Control systems based on feedback provide methods for such adaption, but is in natur

MAX-lab is a Swedish national synchrotron radiation facility, first established as a small-scale university project in the late 1970s and then gradually developed into a national and international user facility. This article presents a historical study of MAX- lab that illustrates the decentralized character of the Swedish science policy system and especially its lack of aggregation mechanisms for

Gene-environment interactions include exposure to genotoxic compounds from our diet and it is no doubt, that humans are regularly exposed to e.g. food toxicants, not least from cooked foods. This paper reviews briefly four classes of cooked food toxicants, e.g. acrylamide, heterocyclic amines, nitrosamines and polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Many of these compounds have been recognised for decades also

För att en användare ska ha rätt att utnyttja ett upphovsrättskyddat verk krävs tillstånd från upphovsmannen. Inom vissa verksamheter utnyttjas stora mängder av upphovsrättskyddade verk som behöver klareras. Det kan vara tidskrävande och dyrt att införskaffa individuella tillstånd för dessa. De nordiska länderna har löst detta problem genom att införa ett avtalslicenssystem. Avtalslicensen är ett In order for a user to exploit a copyright protected work, permission needs to be obtained from the author. In certain fields, large amounts of copyright protected work are exploited. To acquire individual permits is both time consuming and expensive. The Nordic countries have solved this problem by introducing a system of extended collective licenses (ECL). An ECL is an agreement between an organ

Sammanfattning Enligt ordningslagens (OL) 2 kap. 26 § ska den som anordnar en offentlig tillställning i vinstsyfte åläggas betalningsskyldighet för polismyndighetens bevakning av den. I denna uppsats behandlas bestämmelsen och dess tillämpning på de idrottsföreningar som bedrivs i bolagsform, de s.k. idrottsaktiebolagen. Besluten har varit uppe för överklaganden och diskussion sedan polisen för snSummary Under the provisions of section 2 (26) of the Swedish Public Order Act, the organizer of a profitable public event shall pay a fee to cover the police authority's expenses due to the event. This essay analyses the application of the fee on the so- called sport companies. The decisions have been subjects of appeal and discussion since the police for about three years ago started feeing

The Sound Environment Center at Lund university is an interdisciplinary center created to coordinate research on sound and soundscape issues and is known to be the first of its kind worldwide. Ranging from acoustics to medicine, psychology, and cognitive sciences, as well as humanities like musicology and linguistics, soundscape research adresses many interdependent areas and touches upon health a

This text attempts to describe and analyze the haptic relations between non-official, i.e. independent, cinema and market-led urbanization in contemporary China. From the theoretical context of recent scholarship on Visual Culture and film history, it's argued that motion pictures and the Visual are in fact crucial to modernization. Using the theories of Henri Lefebvre and Michel de Certeau th

In 1992, the European Union began institutionalizing the cooperation against terrorism within the EU structure. Since then, this cooperation has gone through a number of changes. From a historical institutionalistic point of departure we explain these changes by identifying sources of institutional resilience and institutional change. Based on these results, we were able to pose hypotheses of when

Land-use change (LUC) has fundamentally altered the form and function of the terrestrial biosphere. Increasing human population, the drive for higher living standards and the potential challenges of mitigating and adapting to global environmental change mean that further changes in LUC are unavoidable. LUC has direct consequences on climate not only via emissions of greenhouse gases and changing t

This paper is about creating identity based on music making as a leisure activity. The questions asked are about how cultural practicing at leisure contributes to the creation of identity, how the roles and self-image is affected by the exercise, if everyone has the dream of making a living on their music still and if one can learn anything beyond the expected by his/hers leisure activity. The pap

Working with innovation has become an essential factor in driving firm success in fast-changing industries like the energy sector. As a result, a considerable amount of previous research has focused on the innovation activities of employees working in R&D or similarly. However, a more recent field of research has focused on studying the employees outside these innovation-specific functions and

The demand for efficient separation and purification methods has inspired the development of new techniques and materials for bioseparation. Conventional chromatographic columns are efficient but have difficulties capturing targets from complex media or purify large products. To address this issue, new materials that can directly purify targets from particulate-containing fluids are needed. Cryoge

Through the making of courses in Rehabilitation engineering entirely over the Internet, Certec has pedagogically achieved three things. The most obvious is that our education has become more accessible for disabled students. Not so obvious was the effects that came from making the familiar strange when we were transferring to the net: It was impossible to invent a ‘net-pedagogy’ by doing anything
