Costa Rica has an important banana-producing industry that requires vast amounts of pesticides. These can leak into the environment and cause health effects. The most widely used pesticide is mancozeb, which is rapidly degraded to the carcinogenic and potentially groundwater-contaminating metabolite ETU. This study was executed in Matina, one of the most densely banana-cultivated areas of Costa Ri

In March of 2025, the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court decided to request a preliminary ruling in a case regarding repayment of Swedish withholding tax on dividends. The non-resident company claimed that they were not obligated to calculate their results according to Swedish rules, whereas the Swedish tax authority claimed that not doing so would make it impossible to determine whether the non

Denna uppsats analyserar förhållandet mellan enskilda och allmänna intressen enligt plan- och bygglagen, samt hur detta förhåller sig till Regeringsformen och Europakonventionen, samt om det finns skäl för ett starkare skydd för enskildas intressen. Enligt svensk rätt har kommuner planmonopol och i vissa fall detaljplanekrav för användningen av mark- och vattenområden inom kommunens geografiska omThis essay analyses the balance between private and public interest in matters relating to the Planning and building act of 2010 according to which there has to be a fair balance of interests. This essay also analyses how the previous relates to the European convention and the Instrument of Government and if there is a need for a stronger protection of private interests. According to the Planning

Denna uppsats analyserar Europeiska kommissionens förslag till en förord-ning om tvångslicenser i krissituationer. (COM(2023) 224) ur ett rättsligt och rättspolitiskt perspektiv. Förslaget syftar till att införa ett unionsomfattande system för tvångslicenser avsett att säkerställa tillgången till krisrelevanta pro-dukter, särskilt läkemedel, i situationer där nationella åtgärder bedöms vara otillr

This study examines the relationship between global news narratives and market volatility, focusing on the VIX index as a measure of investor sentiment. By analyzing financial news headlines from 2023, the research investigates whether keyword frequencies related to terms like conflict, recession, and bullish can predict changes in VIX. The study employs multiple regression, time series analysis,

Converting resident glia in the brain into functional and subtype-specific neurons in vivo provides a step forward towards the development of alternative cell replacement therapies while also creating tools to study cell fate in situ. To date, it has been possible to obtain neurons via in vivo reprogramming, but the precise phenotype of these neurons or how they mature has not been analyzed in det

The main objective for this article is to explore how users of psychoactive drugs experience time and the role psychoactive drugs play in the management and construction of time. The data in this study consists of different kinds of written documents such as anecdotal accounts and scientific articles and reports which was collected using a purposeful sampling technique. One important result is tha

Cell replacement is currently being explored as a therapeutic approach for neurodegenerative disease. Using stem cells as a source, transplantable progenitors can now be generated under conditions compliant with clinical application in patients. In this study, we elucidate factors controlling target-appropriate innervation and circuitry integration of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived graft

Inflammation is a vital response and necessary for maintaining homeostasis. Inflammation protects against tissue damage and pathogens-but is also one of the main driving forces of the atherosclerotic plaque progression. How and why the inflammatory response is initiated in the atherosclerotic disease is not fully known, but evidence suggests modified lipids as potential antigens activating the imm

Small clusters of spherical colloids that mimic real molecules, so-called colloidal molecules, hold great promise as building blocks in bottom-up routes to new materials. However, their typical hard sphere nature has hampered their assembly into ordered structures, largely due to a lack of control in the interparticle interactions. To provide easy external control of the interactions, the present

In the advanced stages, malignant melanoma (MM) has a very poor prognosis. Due to tremendous efforts in cancer research over the last 10 years, and the introduction of novel therapies such as targeted therapies and immunomodulators, the rather dark horizon of the median survival has dramatically changed from under 1 year to several years. With the advent of proteomics, deep-mining studies can reac

In this study the strain rate effects on the tensile and compressive properties of nano-crystalline nanoporous gold (nc-NPAu) are investigated by performing molecular dynamics simulations. In order to examine the role of strain rate,atomistic models of nc-NPAu structures with three different grain size are generated through a novel modeling technique based on the Voronoi tessellation method. AdditIn this study, strain rate effects on the tensile and compressive properties of nano-crystalline nanoporous gold (nc-NPAu) are investigated by performing molecular dynamics simulations. For this purpose, atomistic models of nc-NPAu structures with three different grain sizes are generated through a novel modeling technique based on the Voronoi tessellation method. Additionally, an adaptive common

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) represents an attractive therapeutic target in hypertension and heart failure. The biologically active form of ANP is produced by the cardiac serine protease corin, and modulation of its activity might therefore represent a novel approach for ANP augmentation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are pervasive regulators of gene expression, but their potential role in regulating cor

Purpose – As climate change shocks and stresses increasingly affect urban areas in developingcountries, resilience is imperative for the purposes of preparation, recovery and adaptation. This study aims to investigate demographic characteristics and social networks that influence the household capacity to prepare, recover and adapt when faced with prolonged droughts or erratic rainfall events in M

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be differentiated into many different cell types of the central nervous system. One challenge when using pluripotent stem cells is to develop robust and efficient differentiation protocols that result in homogenous cultures of the desired cell type. Here, we have utilized the SMAD-inhibitors SB431542 and Noggin in a

This paper intends to investigate the impact of the two-sided market effect with nearby theories, the importance of customer loyalty and customer relationship management in the newspaper industry. It takes its theoretical references from academic research literature and interviews with the focus on customer loyalty and customer relationship management in the two-sided market environment. The resu
