An analysis of Jens Lapidus' novel and the 2012 film adaptation as symptoms of the neoliberal backlash of the Swedish social, political and economic system.

A polymer foil based array with 9 gold electrodes for chronic electrophysiological recordings in the CNS has been developed. A polymer, SU-8, is pattered using photolithography techniques used every day in micro fabrication. This is beneficial if the electrode would be manufactured on a large scale basis. The technique makes it easy to adapt the array to best fit the structure of interest at the t

Since many years, international tax law experts debate the relevance of changes to OECD Commentaries for the purpose of the interpretation of previously concluded tax treaties. Although, generally, most experts seem averse to the idea of an ambulatory approach to the usage of OECD Commentaries, they are reluctant to exclude this idea altogether. Such a position raises an important issue of justifi

The article examines how the Danish esoteric and heterodox Freemason Carl William Hansen (also known as Ben Kadosh) used and reinterpreted themes and motifs from the Old Testament and various Gnostic writings when constructing his unusual and aberrant philosophical system in his pamphlet "The Dawn of a New Morning: The Return of World Architect".

Photosynthesis in plants is a very complicated process, utilizing two photosystems in series to carry out the very energy-demanding process of oxidizing water to molecular oxygen and reducing carbon dioxide to organic compounds. The first photosynthetic organisms, living more than 3.4, perhaps even 3.8 Ga, i.e. American billion (109) years ago, carried out a simpler process, without oxygen product

Comparable country profile that describes the evolution and practice of corporate Sustainability and Responsibility (CSR) in Saudi Arabia.

Two conservation laws for mutual information in terms of directed informations between two synchronized sequences of random variables are derived, the first for the case of no conditioning and the second for the case of causal conditioning on a third synchronized sequence. As a byproduct of the derivation of the first conservation law, the directed information specifying the feedback flowing from

The book contains the first part of an investigation aimed at finding out why it is morally wrong (at least prima facie) to cause species to go extinct. That it is morally wrong seems to be a very basic and widely held intuition. It seems reasonable that a moral theory worth taking seriously ought to be able to account for that intuition. The most common attempt to answer our question is to refer

Zeaxanthin, a carotenoid in the xanthophyll cycle, has been suggested to play a role in the protection against photodestruction. We have studied the importance of the parameters involved in zeaxanthin formation by comparing spinach plants grown in low light (100 to 250 mol m-2 s-1) to plants transferred to high light (950 mol m-2 s-1). Different parameters were followed for a total of 11 days. Our

Den moderna teologins förutsättningar kom att förändras på många sätt av postmodernismens ifrågasättande av människan, språket, kunskapen och historien som entydigt givna storheter. Den postmoderna teologin kastar nytt ljus över klassiska teologiska frågeställningar och över dolda eller glömda delar av den teologiska traditionen. Här ges oanade möjligheter för en kulturteologi som på allvar griper

Cultural perspectives on biotechnology, patents and trademarks.

The durability of a road is among other factors dependent on the affinity between stones in the top layer and bitumen that holds the stones together. Poor adherence will cause stones to detach from the surface of the road more easily. The rolling bottle method is the standard way to determine the affinity between stones and bitumen. In this test a number of stones covered in bitumen are put in a r
