Planet host stars with well-constrained ages provide a rare window to the time domain of planet formation and evolution. The NASA K2 mission has enabled the discovery of the vast majority of known planets transiting stars in clusters, providing a valuable sample of planets with known ages and radii. We present the discovery of two planets transiting K2-264, an M2 dwarf in the intermediate age (600

Aims: Ankle–brachial index (ABI) is the most commonly used test when diagnosing peripheral vascular disease and is considered a marker for cardiovascular risk. Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2), a test associated with microvascular function, has in several studies shown better correlation with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) healing. Whether a low TcPO2 could be a marker for mortality in the high-r

On the morning of the 8th of April 2013, the world woke up to Abu Bakr Al- Baghdadi, the leader of what was called the Islamic State in Iraq or ISI, announcing the expansion of his group from Iraq into Syria. Al-Baghdadi also announced the merger of ISI and Jabhat al-Nusra (JN) into a new group called the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham or ISIS. Only one day after the announcement, JN released a

The periodontal ligament (PDL) is a highly heterogeneous fibrous connective tissue and plays a critical role in distributing occlusal forces and regulating tissue remodeling. Its mechanical properties are largely determined by the extracellular matrix, comprising a collagenous fiber network interacting with the capillary system as well as interstitial fluid containing proteoglycans. While the phas

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial dysfunction, accelerated thickening of arterial intima, and changes in ventricular repolarization contribute to increased cardiovascular morbidity in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Although vitamin C has important antioxidant functions and increased oxidative stress is a central mechanism of cardiovascular dysfunction in T1D, the relation between vitamin C and the cardiova

Recent years have witnessed a rapidly escalating interest on the subject basic income. However, most politicians of Sweden show little interest, some even offense, towards an idea suggesting an income connected to citizenship rather than work. This bachelor thesis aims to define the concept of basic income, and examine how the idea of welfare without demand has emerged as an alternative to dominat

Tillämpning av skatteflyktslagen leder till att en annars civilrättsligt giltig rättshandling lämnas utan hänsyn vid fastställande av underlaget för beskattning. Lagen är alltså relativt ingripande mot den enskilda skattskyldiga som företagit rättshandlingen eller rättshandlingarna. Tillämpningen är beroende av rekvisiten i 2 § skatteflyktslagen, den så kallade, generalklausulen. Den innehåller fyThe legal consequence of the application of the tax evasion law is that an otherwise civil legal transaction is left without consideration when assessing the base for taxation. The law is an infringement upon the taxpayer that has performed the legal transactions. The application of the tax evasion law is dependent on the prerequisites from the 2 § of the law, the so called general clause. The cla

Syftet med denna uppsats är att ur ett europeiskt perspektiv analysera Högsta domstolens position angående prövning av skiljedomar med konkurrensrättsliga frågeställningar. Skiljeförfarandet spelar en nyckelroll inom internationellt näringsliv mycket genom sin förmåga att på ett skyndsamt sätt framställa en slutgiltig, bindande och internationellt verkställbar skiljedom. Genom sitt domslut i Eco The aim of this thesis is to analyse from a European perspective the position of the Swedish Supreme Court on the review of arbitral awards regarding issues of competition law. Arbitration plays a crucial role in the field of international commerce largely due to its ability to expediently present to the parties a final, binding and internationally enforceable award. In the Eco Swiss judgement,

I nuläget har vi levt med covid-19-pandemin och dess medföljande restriktioner, rekommendationer och budskap i över ett år. De konstant återupprepade budskapen kring ämnet har resulterat i att människor tröttnat på att följa restriktioner och uppmärksamma informationen, vilket WHO beskriver som pandemic fatigue. Samtidigt har denna trötthet, som kan leda till att människor väljer att ignorera elleAs of now, we have lived with the Covid-19 pandemic and its accompanying restrictions, recommendations and messages for over a year. The constantly repeated messages about the same topic has resulted in people tiring of following restrictions and paying attention, which is what the WHO describes as pandemic fatigue. Meanwhile, fatigue such as this, which could lead to people choosing to ignore or

När vi läser den aktuella kursplanen för musik i grundskolan och gymnasiet och tittar på utbildningsutbudet inom folkhögskola och eftergymnasiala musikutbildningar i Sverige kan vi se ett ökat intresse för musikskapande från utbildningsväsendet. Med utgångspunkt i Bennetts (2012b) resonemang från artikeln You can’t teach songwriting…! där han skriver: “if songwriting can’t be taught, it can certaiWhen reading course plans for music classes or looking into the available music courses in the Swedish school systems’ pre higher and higher educations (gymnasium, folkhögskola and post gymnasium), the increased interest in creating music is shining through. Using Bennett’s (2012b) argument “if songwriting can’t be taught, it can certainly be learned” (Bennett, 2012b, s. 34) from the article You c
