Latvian is one of the Baltic languages, a subclass of the Indo-European family. It is a flectional language and has a rich system of morphology, including seven cases and two numbers. Word order in a Latvian noun phrase can in general be characterized as head final. A genitive in Latvian is used as a tool to bind nouns in a noun phrase and express possession, except with verbal nouns where the gen

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodgruppering med genteknik - studier av ABO-systemets arvsanlag Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning på svenska Blodtransfusioner som utfördes före sekelskiftet slutade ofta med svåra komplikationer och i många fall patientens död. Scenariot förändrades dramatiskt till det bättre i och med den österrikiske läkaren Karl Landsteiners upptäckt av blodgruppssystemet ABO (The ABO blood group system is undoubtedly the most important genetic and phenotypic marker in clinical transfusion medicine. The A and B determinants are immunodominant, terminally located carbohydrate residues of glycoconjugates on erythrocytes and other cell surfaces. The enzymes responsible for assembly of these structures are glycosyltransferases encoded by the ABO genes on chromosome nine. T

Landscape change in Europe has caused the decline of many grassland species. Tephroseris integrifolia (Asteraceae) is one species which has declined rapidly in Sweden since the 19th century. A census of extant populations from 1980 to 2009 revealed a dramatic decrease in population sizes during the early 1990s, despite far-reaching conservation measures. Knowledge of causes of species decline is n

It has often been argued that the Earth is like an island in space and that its brittleness is most clearly reflected on small islands in the oceans. Easter Island, in particular, with its largely depleted resources, has been seen as a microcosmic warning about what could happen to our entire planet. However, the analogy of the Earth and islands with finite natural resources is not self-evident fr

We present the characterization results of a new high resolution negative electron beam resist mr-L 6000.1 XP. The resist can also be used as imprintable polymer in nanoimprint lithography with sub-100 nm resolution. The feature size achieved after e-beam exposure was about 50 nm with sensitivity of 2-4 μC/cm2. Studies of the resist properties as a function of chemical composition and development

Fantasy är en tvärmedial genre. Det innebär att det som är typiskt för fantasy-genren och dess ”outworldliness” (Mackay 2001), det vill säga karaktärer med magiska krafter, talande djur, andar och älvor, geografiskt hisnande sagovärldar inspirerade av historiska och litterära myter och legender – inte bara återfinns i böcker utan även i film, brädspel, LAJV/LARP (rollspel med kostymer där du själv

According to the debate on the long-term impact of colonialism, the central concern is the institutions the colonial powers imposed on the colonies. The main line of argument in this paradigm is that such institutions, once jelled, persisted and provide explanations to current-day development success or failure. While this ‘from above’ perspective might be natural and reflect the fact that colonia
