The word “desertification” was introduced in 1949 by the French scientist Aubreville in his report “Climats, forêts et désertification de l´Afrique tropicale”. The concept, however, was discussed earlier by European and American scientists in terms of increased sand movements, desiccation, desert and Sahara encroachment and man made deserts. Desertification, at the beginning of last century, mea

FN:s handelskommission UNCITRAL har tagit fram en konvention om verkställighet av internationella medlingsöverenskommelser, den s.k. Singaporekonventionen. Konventionen möjliggör att internationella privata aktörer kan verkställa internationella kommersiella medlingsöverenskommelser i respektive avtalsslutande parters stater. Konventionen öppnade för anslutning år 2020 och i maj 2024 hade 56 ländeThe United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) has developed a convention on the enforcement of settlement agreements resulting from international commercial mediation, known as the Singapore Convention. The convention allows international private actors to enforce international commercial mediation settlement agreements in the states of the respective contracting parties. The

Japans rättssystem före 1880 baserades på ett rättssystem av kinesiskt ursprung. Efter att Tokugawa-shogunatet föll 1867, genomförde den japanska regeringen en modernisering av rättssystemet genom reception av europeisk rätt. Inom straffrätten utfärdades 1880 och 1907 års Penal Code efter europeisk modell. Syftet med uppsatsen är att jämföra straffrättsutvecklingen i Europa och Japan från 1700-tal

Denna uppsats ger en kort introduktion av begreppen "Post-normal Science (PNS)", "Extended Peer Community (EPC)" och "Environmental Decision Making (EDM)". PNS gäller när osäkerheten i samspelet mellan vetenskap och beslutsfattande är alltför stora för traditionell vetenskap och EPC är en metod som är en viktig del av PNS. EDM är ett system som försöker att hjälpa besThis thesis provides a brief introduction of the concepts “Post-normal Science (PNS)”, “Extended Peer Community (EPC)” and “Environmental Decision Making (EDM)”. PNS is applicable when uncertainties in the interface between science and decision making are too great for traditional science and EPC is a method which is an important part of PNS. EDM is a system that tries to assist the decision maker

The water level-area-storage volume (Z-A-V) relationship serves as the cornerstone of reservoir operations, governing water allocation, flood mitigation, and power generation. Sedimentation-induced capacity alterations can progressively degrade Z-A-V accuracy, yet systematic curve updates remain inadequately implemented across developing nations. Traditional reconstruction approaches face inherent

Objectives: Cadmium (Cd) toxicity of the kidney varies between individuals despite similar exposure levels. In humans Cd is mainly bound to metallothioneins (MT), which scavenge its toxic effects. Here we analyzed whether polymorphisms in MT genes MTIA and MT2A influence Cd-related kidney damage. Methods: In a cross-sectional study N = 512 volunteers were selected from three areas in South-Eastern

Kolhydrater är livsviktiga för människor och djur av fler anledningar än för att generera energi; överallt i kroppen –på cellmembran, inuti, och utanför celler – hittas långa kolhydratkedjor som kallas glukosaminoglykaner. Dessa kedjor bär många negativa laddningar, till stor del i form av sulfatgrupper, och kan vara självständiga eller kovalent bundna till ett protein – det senare fallet inkluderAll around in our bodies – inside and on top of cells, as well as in the extracellular matrix (ECM) – complex carbohydrate chains known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are to be found. While some of their properties are known, many functions and biosynthetic pathways remain undiscovered. Heparin is one of the GAGs whose function in the body is not completely known, however, it has been used as an ant

Changes in the geometry of ocean meridional overturning circulation (MOC) are crucial in controlling past changes of climate and the carbon inventory of the atmosphere. However, the accurate timing and global correlation of short-term glacial-to-deglacial changes of MOC in different ocean basins still present a major challenge. The fine structure of jumps and plateaus in atmospheric and planktic r

The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of a rapidly spreading illness, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), affecting more than seventeen million people around the world. Diagnosis and treatment guidelines for clinicians caring for patients are needed. In the early stage, we have issued "A rapid advice guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of 2019 n

Background: Data on stroke epidemiology and availability of hospital-based stroke services around the world are important for guiding policy decisions and healthcare planning. Aims: To provide the most current incidence, mortality and case–fatality data on stroke and describe current availability of stroke units around the world by country. Methods: We searched multiple databases (based on our exi

With the continued development of tracking technology and increasing interest in animal movement, our understanding of migration behavior has become more comprehensive. However, there are still many species that have not been well studied, particularly sea birds. Here, we present the first year-round Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking data of the Black-tailed Gull (Larus crassirostris) at th

To mitigate the climate change-induced water shortage and realize the sustainable development of agriculture, drip irrigation, a more efficient water-saving irrigation method, has been intensively implemented in most arid agricultural regions in the world. However, compared to traditional border irrigation, how drip irrigation affects the biophysical conditions in the cropland and how crops physio
