Erfarenheterna från de amerikanska delstater som legaliserat cannabis visar att brottsligheten i princip inte påverkats alls. Forskningen visar också att insatser mot narkotikamarknaderna inte säkert skulle minska våldet. För att bekämpa gängvåldet bör insatserna i stället riktas mot våldet i sig, skriver forskarna Manne Gerell, Björn Johnson och Petter Karlsson.

What makes a business model successful? In this book the roots of business models are traced to the concept of the “business idea” which was popularized by researchers in the 1960s and 1970s. The business idea stresses the importance of conformance between the market and the product system, as well as between the product system and the internal features of the firm.A distinguishing feature of the

A measurement of W± boson production in Pb+Pb collisions at sNN=5.02Te is reported using data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in 2015, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 0.49nb-1. The W± bosons are reconstructed in the electron or muon leptonic decay channels. Production yields of leptonically decaying W± bosons, normalised by the total number of minimum-bias events and

The production cross-sections for W± and Z bosons are measured using ATLAS data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.0 pb- 1 collected at a centre-of-mass energy s=2.76 TeV. The decay channels W→ ℓν and Z→ ℓℓ are used, where ℓ can be an electron or a muon. The cross-sections are presented for a fiducial region defined by the detector acceptance and are also extrapolated to the full phase

Most pathogens can infect a number of different host species, but host species often differ considerably in susceptibility to a given pathogen. In the case of zoonotic pathogens, natural hosts typically present little or no disease symptoms, while humans and other “spill-over” hosts often present severe symptoms. Differences in susceptibility do not only occur between natural and non-natural hosts

Med Bolognareformen 2007 blev i princip all högre utbildning i Sverige, som omfattas av Högskoleförordningens examensordning, målstyrd på basis av ett särskilt sätt att relatera olika kunskapsformer till varandra, vilka kommer till uttryck i både Blooms taxonomi och den s.k. SOLO-taxonomin (= structure of the observed learning outcome). Sedan 2007 delas därför lärandemålen i examensordning, studie

The chapter provides an overview of membrane applications in conventional and lignocellulosic biorefineries. Driven by the trend towards “white biotechnology” the market and applications for membrane processes in biorefineries are growing rapidly since membrane processes have been identified as energy-efficient and highly selective separation processes in the different stages of biorefining. The a

Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) and microbial transglutaminase (mTG) cross-link gliadins to form complexes that expose immunogenic neo-epitopes to produce tTG and mTG-neo-epitope antibodies. The aim of this study was to test the diagnostic performance of antibodies against non-complexed and complexed forms of transglutaminases, to correlate their activities to the intestinal damage and to explore ag

The motor effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on the bovine ovarian follicle were studied in vitro using strips from follicle walls. Electrical field stimulation of nerves in the preparation, secured by tetrodotoxin blockade, caused a contraction that was almost totally abolished by phentolamine and only slightly affected by atropine. This mainly adrenergic neurogenic response was inhibited

The histaminergic effect on electrically induced contractions and tritium release was studied in vitro, using strips from the wall of mature bovine ovarian follicles. Follicular fluid and blood plasma from the animals were analysed for electrolyte, bicarbonate, glucose and total protein concentrations in order to compare them with the concentrations of these components in the Krebs-Ringer solution

We present a phenomenological parametrization of the phase diagram of QCD as a function of temperature T and baryochemical potential µ. The parametrization is constructed by introducing a switching function which controls the nature of the transition between the Hadron-Resonance Gas (HRG) and Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) phases of nuclear matter, such that the equation of state (EOS) possesses a rapid

Despite progress in use of decellularized lung scaffolds in ex vivo lung bioengineering schemes, including use of gels and other materials derived from the scaffolds, the detailed composition and functional role of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteoglycans (PGs) and their glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains remaining in decellularized lungs, is poorly understood. Using a commonly utilized detergent-base
