Skydd för berättigade förväntningar i svensk förvaltningsrätt? – Negativ rättskraft, EU-rätt och styrning av förvaltningen

En grundläggande fråga i den allmänna förvaltningsrätten är var gränserna ska gå för möjligheten att ändra meddelade beslut. I svensk förvaltningsrätt har denna fråga traditionellt besvarats med hjälp av principer om (förvaltningsrättslig) negativ rättskraft. I EU-rätten har det däremot under inflytande av andra medlemsstaters rättstraditioner utvecklats en unionsrättslig princip om skydd för berä

High contrast sensitivity for visually guided flight control in bumblebees

Many insects rely on vision to find food, to return to their nest and to carefully control their flight between these two locations. The amount of information available to support these tasks is, in part, dictated by the spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity of their visual systems. Here, we investigate the absolute limits of these visual properties for visually guided position and speed con

En ny gudinna för en ny tid : Ovidius och Hersilias metamorfos

This article argues that the Roman poet Ovid in his Metamorphoses invented the apotheosis of Hersilia into the goddess Hora as a way to flatter the empress Livia. There are compelling parallels between the words used to describe Hersilia and Livia in Ovid’s poetry. Furthermore, Hersilia was, according to the legend, a Sabine woman who married Romulus, the founder of Rome. Livia was born into the C

Removal of Water-Soluble Extractives Improves the Enzymatic Digestibility of Steam-Pretreated Softwood Barks

Softwood bark contains a large amounts of extractives—i.e., soluble lipophilic (such as resin acids) and hydrophilic components (phenolic compounds, stilbenes). The effects of the partial removal of water-soluble extractives before acid-catalyzed steam pretreatment on enzymatic digestibility were assessed for two softwood barks—Norway spruce and Scots pine. A simple hot water extraction step remov

Agility in entrepreneurial projects

Managing entrepreneurship is of importance for the society, for organizations and for the individual. It is not enough with knowledge and skills relating to the idea behind entrepreneurship. The entrepreneur must have knowledge and skills to manage the entrepreneurial process. The purpose of this paper is to put forward for agile project management as an appropriate way to manage an entrepreneuria

Characterization and micromechanical modelling of microstructural heterogeneity effects on ductile fracture of 6xxx aluminium alloys

Ductile failure of three 6xxx serie aluminium alloys has been characterized and modelled for about thirty hardening conditions each. These alloys involve relatively similar composition and volume fraction of second phase particles. The tensile mechanical properties show the expected decrease of fracture strain with increasing strength but also major differences among the different alloys with a fa

Four-dimensional in vivo X-ray microscopy with projection-guided gating

Visualizing fast micrometer scale internal movements of small animals is a key challenge for functional anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. We combine phase contrast tomographic microscopy (down to 3.3 μm voxel size) with retrospective, projection-based gating (in the order of hundreds of microseconds) to improve the spatiotemporal resolution by an order of magnitude over previous studies. We de

Simultaneous dual-energy X-ray stereo imaging

Dual-energy or K-edge imaging is used to enhance contrast between two or more materials in an object and is routinely realised by acquiring two separate X-ray images each at different X-ray wavelength. On a broadband synchrotron source an imaging system to acquire the two images simultaneously was realised. The single-shot approach allows dual-energy and stereo imaging to be applied to dynamic sys

Structural mouthpart interaction evolved already in the earliest lineages of insects

In butterflies, bees, flies and true bugs specific mouthparts are in close contact or even fused to enable piercing, sucking or sponging of particular food sources. The common phenomenon behind these mouthpart types is a com-plex composed of several consecutive mouthparts which structurally interact during food uptake. The single mouthparts are thus only functional in con-junction with other adjac

Unwinding the spiral : Discovering the manufacturing method of Iron Age Scottish glass beads

Spiral decorated Iron Age Scottish glass beads are a group of highly decorated objects about which very little is known. Despite considerable debate in the past, their technical complexity and elaborate design have always hindered the understanding of their method of production. The innovative application of X-ray micro-computed-tomography (μCT), with synchrotron light, rendered detailed informati

Management of multi-projects in a process oriented organization

When projects are used as an organisational platform to conduct business, a project can be the only project in the organisation or one amongst several others. The latter case is called multi-project organisation. Usually an organization with a multi-project environment has a base organisation, which can be functional, matrix structure or another. The purpose of this article is to develop a model b

Pericytes secrete pro-regenerative molecules in response to platelet-derived growth factor-BB

Brain pericytes not only maintain the anatomical, biochemical and immune blood-brain barrier, but display features of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vitro. MSCs have pro-regenerative properties attributed to their secretome. However, whether also brain pericytes possess such pro-regenerative capacities is largely unknown. Here we characterize the secretome and microvesicle (MV) release of human
