The international legal system of access and benefit-sharing of genetic resources (or ABS) under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is an ever-evolving field as its material, temporal and activity scope is still under discussion to meet the needs of the advancement of research and development activities as well as the questions of fairness and equity that evolve with them. Activities, su
An Inverse Heat Conduction Problem (IHCP) is considered in order to estimate the transient heat flux extracted from a hot solid surface by an impinging droplet. The resolution of the IHCP is made with the so-called quadrupole method, which provides an analytical expression of the temperature and the heat flux at the front surface of the solid wall, where the drop impact takes place. In the experim
Introduction: The transgender population is a marginalized group in society and research suggests that they experience significant barriers when accessing health care. However, little is known about transgender and gender-diverse people and their experiences of encounters with healthcare professionals in Sweden.

Sepsis is a common and often deadly systemic response to an infection, usually caused by bacteria. The gold standard for finding the causing pathogen in a blood sample is blood culture, which may take hours to days. Shortening the time to diagnosis would significantly reduce mortality. To replace the time-consuming blood culture we are developing a method to directly separate bacteria from red and
Learning in educational games is often associated with some form of competition. We investigated how students responded to winning or losing in an educational math game, with respect to playing with or without a Teachable Agent (TA). Students could choose between game modes in which the TA took a more passive or active role, or let the TA play a game entirely on its own. Based on the data logs fro
This paper on post-truth politics argues that to the extent that one wants to understand political discourses generally (post-truth political discourses in particular) it is crucial to see them as circulating talk that performs rather than reports. This implies a shift in focus. Many react strongly to ‘post-truth’ assertions by appealing to evidence, objectivity, facts and truth. In this paper it
This chapter discusses the value of a capability approach in historical research on older people. Historians are generally focused on studying continuity and change over time. Their research often aims at explaining how and why certain phenomena appear and take different shapes. Capability is a way of capturing an individual’s ability to live a meaningful life, or a life that they perceive as good

This ethnographic research on ‘Workaway’ investigates new forms of mobility experiences, in between travel and migration, which are used by a plethora of types of people (both hosts and guests) with different motivations (learning new skills and experiences), needs, ambitions, dreams, as well as/or life-time crisis, and different types of problems (e.g. lack of finances, no opportunity or prospect
Background: Genital Chlamydia trachomatis (C.trachomatis) infection may lead to pregnancy complications such as miscarriage, preterm labour, low birthweight, preterm rupture of membranes, increased perinatal mortality, postpartum endometritis, chlamydial conjunctivitis and C.trachomatis pneumonia.This review supersedes a previous review on this topic. Objectives: To establish the most efficacious
Linked data is one of the most successful practices in semantic web, which has led to the opening and interlinking of data. Though many agents (mostly academic organizations and government) have published a large amount of linked data, numerous agents such as private companies and industries either do not have the ability or do not want to make an additional effort to publish linked data. Thus, fo
One of the more puzzling aspects of Kant’s political thought is his insistence on the duty to obey even oppressive rulers combined with his belief in the republic as the only rightful constitutional form. In arguing that resisting oppressive power is as wrong as seizing it, Kant seems committed to the awkward position of denouncing as unrightful any attempts made by the people to establish the onl

His works include the novel Auto da Fé and his tour de force, a collection of aphorisms called Crowds and Power. Despite examining the eponymous themes and
