This paper connects insights from the literature on cosmopolitan worldviews and the effects of perspective-taking in political science, (intergroup) anxiety in social psychology, and identity economics in a vignette-style experiment. In particular, we asked German respondents about their attitudes towards a Syrian refugee, randomizing components of his description (N = 662). The main treatment des
Kawasaki disease is an important differential diagnosis when evaluating prolonged fever in childhood. Although the aetiology of this vasculitic disease process remains obscure, prompt recognition and treatment significantly reduces vascular complications such as coronary artery aneurysms. Patients presenting with atypical or incomplete diagnostic features remain a challenge. Here the authors descr
The reliability of diode lasers used in spectroscopic applications is limited by their intrinsic multimode and mode-jump behavior when wavelength-tuned by current or temperature. We report on a scheme for gas analysis based on temporal correlation between absorption signals from an unknown external and a known reference gas concentration, simultaneously recorded when the diode laser wavelength is
similar to SbVO4 is a well known catalyst used for the ammoxidation of propane to acrylonitrile. However, little importance is usually given to the structural flexibility exhibited by the similar to SbVO4 phase, which has rutile-type structure and can accommodate up to 1/8 of cation vacancies. In this work we highlight the great structural flexibility exhibited by this phase accommodating the chan
This paper studies the influence of metropolitan externalities on productivity for different types of long-run R&D engagement based on information from the Community Innovation Survey. We apply a dynamic general method of moments model to a panel of manufacturing and service firms with different locations in Sweden, classified as a metropolitan region, the largest metropolitan region, a metrop
Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is a major blindness-causing disease, characterized by elevated intraocular pressure due to an insufficient outflow of aqueous humor. The trabecular meshwork (TM) lining the aqueous outflow pathway modulates the aqueous outflow facility. TM cell adhesion, cell-matrix interactions, and factors that influence Rho signaling in TM cells are thought to play a pivotal
The purpose of this study was to examine how home care services in the city of Malmö works with domestic violence among elder people, and also to analyze the home care service’s role when faced with the same type violence. The sample of informants consequently consisted of six assistant nurses working in home care for ordinary housing in Malmö. The data collection was conducted through qualitative
Skyddet för folkhälsan är det bakomliggande värde som genomsyrat utformningen av svensk alkohollagstiftning. Inträdet i EU och internets framväxt har emellertid genererat nya frågeställningar, däribland under vilka förutsättningar svenska alkoholproducenter får marknadsföra sig i sociala medier. Genom en rättsdogmatisk metod utreds vilka möjligheter inhemska alkoholproducenter har att marknadsföraThe goal to protect public health is the essential value that has set the foundation for the Swedish Alcohol Act. Nonetheless, both Sweden’s entry into the EU and the Internet’s growth has generated new questions on this issue, for example under which circumstances Swedish alcohol producers are allowed to market themselves on social media. By using a Legal dogmatic method, Swedish producers’ oppor
The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union has been a legally binding act for ten years. However, ever since entering into the force, it has not been quite clear when the Charter in fact is applicable. During the past years, the EU has been faced by the Rule of law crisis, as called in the academic debate. This thesis aims to clarify when the Charter is applicable and examine whether
The unnecessary and disproportionate use of pre-trial detention is a global issue that affects developed and developing countries alike. According to World Prison Brief, Cambodia has ranked 12th (among 217 countries) making it become a country with one of the highest percentages of pre-trial detainees: 71.8 percent to be exact. The excessive and unnecessary use of pre-trial detention in the Kingdo
Uppsatsen undersöker lämpligheten att införa storskalig miljöförstöring, i form av ekocid, som ett femte internationellt brott i Romstadgan för internationella brottmålsdomstolen som antogs i Rom 1998. Undersökningen görs i förhållande till Romstadgans syfte och målsättning och i förhållande till de brott som utgör kärnan av Romstadgan. Kärnbrotten utgörs av folkmord, brott mot mänskligheten, krigThis essay examines the possibility to make environmental destruction an international crime by including ecocide as a fifth crime against peace in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court adopted in Rome in 1998. The issue is examinated in relation to the purpose and objective of the Statue and in relations to the core crimes. The core crimes; crime of genocide, crimes against humanit
The literature within Information Systems has approached Green IS from different perspectives and using different theoretical frameworks. The present paper analyzes the corre-lation between the existence of external pressures and Green IS adoption in the case of Swe-dish municipalities. A qualitative research was conducted, with the performance of in-depth interviews with representatives of a 4 Sw
The thesis work is based on power saving techniques to enhance the battery life of Machine Type Communication devices. The basic principle behind the introduced methods to save energy is to allow the Machine Type Communication devices only to perform its activities for a short time and go to sleep or inactive mode for rest of the time. The existing techniques save a part of device energy consumpti
Gasoline partially premixed combustion (PPC) has the potential of high efficiency and simultaneous low soot and NOx emissions. Running the engine in PPC mode with high octane number fuels has the advantage of a longer premix period of fuel and air which reduces soot emissions. The problem is the ignitability at low load and idle operating conditions. In a previous study it was shown that it is po
In a recent study,Westerlund (Empir Econ 37:517–531, 2009) shows that the performance of the popular LLC (Levin et al., J Econ 108:1–24, 2002) panel unit root test depends critically on the choice of lag truncation used when correcting for serial correlation, and that it is only when this parameter is set as a function of time that the power raises above size. The purpose of the current paper is t
Popular Abstract in Swedish Alzheimers sjukdom är den vanligaste orsaken till uppkomsten av demens. Detta tillstånd innebär att delar av hjärnan skrumpnar på ett karakteristiskt vis, när nervceller går under. Den drabbade brukar först märka svårigheter med korttidsminnet, för att senare drabbas av språksvårigheter, räknesvårigheter, svårigheter med rumslig uppfattning och svårigheter att veta hur Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, is a growing concern. As the life expectancy increases across the globe, the number of affected people is estimated to reach 100 million by 2050. Efforts to develop effective treatments for humans have mostly been based on the assumption that a faulty homeostasis of beta amyloid (Aβ) is the triggering or the driving factor behind this co
Popular Abstract in Swedish De senaste ca trettio åren har man observerat en kraftig ökning av löst organiskt kol i sjöar, vattendrag och kustnära vatten i olika delar av det norra halvklotet, bl.a. i delar av Nordamerika, Storbritannien, Baltikum, centrala Europa och Skandinavien. I Sverige har ökningen främst varit koncentrerad till de södra delarna av landet. Löst organiskt kol i sjöar belägna During the past three decades, increases have been observed in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations and colour in the surface waters of lakes and rivers in parts of Europe and North America, raising concern about the effects on the quality of aquatic environments with consequences for biodiversity, resource availability and recreational use. Various hypotheses have been put forward to exp
