The Manifestation of Modernity in Genetic Science

The transition to modernity signifies a fundamental change in European culture and conduct of life. Alfred Weber speaks of ”the most profound crisis that the Occidental world had experienced so far”. Crisis is the existential manifestation of modernity's constituting and regulating characteristic: contingency. Contingency means that nothing has to be the way it is, but could be otherwise as well;

Remissvar: Formerna för den framtida läkemedelsreklamen (Ds 2004:13) S2004/2247/HS

Regeringen tillsatte med anledning av EG-direktiv 2001/83 en arbetsgrupp för att utreda hur framtidens läkemedelsreklam ska organiseras. Målet är att bidra till en säker och effektiv läkemedelsanvändning i Sverige. Mot bakgrund av en analys av EG-direktivet, utländska förebilder, svensk grundlag och i Sverige gällande marknadsföringsbestämmelser i läkemedelslagen (1992:859) och marknadsföringslage

The Life and Times of Targeted Killing

Against the background of the ongoing shift in the perception of the legality and legitimacy of extraterritorial lethal force in counterterrorism, this thesis analyses the emergence of so-called “targeted killing” in the history of Israel and the US, as well as in international law. It finds that the relationship between targeted killing and law, particularly international law, is not a straightfo

Decarbonization of Cities: You’re Dreaming!

Societal and technological transformation in the face of climate change will be won or lost in our cities and urban communities. This is not just because of the global urban demographic shift with more than 50 percent of the population now living in urban conditions, or because cities contribute around 70 to 80 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, but it is as much to do with the growing economic

The Galactic formation rate of eccentric neutron star-white dwarf binaries

Abstract in Undetermined n this paper we consider the population of eccentric binaries with a neutron star and a white dwarf that has been revealed in our galaxy in recent years through binary pulsar observations. We apply our statistical analysis method (Kim, Kalogera, & Lorimer 2003)and calculate the Galactic formation rate of these binaries empirically. We then compare our results with rate
