Since at least the 1960s, the European Union (EU) has offered various kinds of non-reciprocal trade preferences for developing countries. Originally, these trade preferences had at least two policy goals: (i) to increase export volumes for developing countries and thereby boost their export earnings, and (ii) to facilitate export diversification. While extensive research has confirmed that the fir

Modern gas turbine spray combustors feature multiple swirlers with distributed fuel injection system for rapid fuel/air mixing and flame stabilization ensuring low NOx operations. In the present paper, we investigate the effects of different swirler designs on flame characteristics, stabilization, and behavior at lean blow out using a Triple Annular Research Swirler (TARS) burner. Simultaneous pla

Abstract in Undetermined I denna essä skildras hur målsägarens ställning successivt förändrats i ett långt historiskt perspektiv, från medeltiden till nutid. Genom den judiciella revolutionen och rättsväsendets professionalisering har målsägandens ställning som den som "äger målet", rätten att tala vid tinget, förändrats och målsäganden slutligen omvandlats till ett brottsoffer. Offer för våld stå

This study investigates pathways by which the eicosanoid precursor pools in the platelets, bone marrow and the gastrointestinal (GI) mucosa are acquired and regulated, and in this context some aspects on the interaction between triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins and platelets. 1. Platelets take up chylomicrons (CM) in vitro, the main part being sequestered in open canalicular system and not degr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av en analys av Statliga Offentliga Utredningar (SOU) och deras definition och hantering av homosexualitet, intersexualism och transsexualism under 1900-talet (1935-2001). Frågor som berör den juridiska definitionen av ett mänskligt subjekt, mänskligt begär och den mänskliga kroppen är centrala för dessa utredningar och därför ligger fokus i avhandliThe thesis consists of an analysis on how Swedish Government Official Reports (SOU) and their definition and handling of homosexuality, intersexualism, and transsexualism. Questions concerning the legal definition of a human subject, of human desire and human bodies are central to these reports, and hence the focal point of the thesis is how these definitions are reproduced and altered during the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Konflikter och sexuellt urval under pollenkonkurrens Naturens många fantastiska färger och former har till stor del skapats av det sexuella urvalet, det vill säga selektionstryck som skapas av konkurrens och val, som uppstår till följd av att djur och växter fortplantar sig. Det var Darwin som 1871 presenterade teorin om det sexuella urvalet i ett försök att förklara vThe incidence of sexual selection in plants is today acknowledged, however, just as in animals, evolution and maintenance of mate choice is gravely underexplored. Moreover, the potential for sexual conflicts to occur in plants has only been assessed empirically to a very limited degree. Using the hermaphroditic annual herb Collinsia heterophylla, I looked deeper into the role of pollen-pollen comp

Omfattande forskning pekar på att en förälders psykiska ohälsa kan utgöra en riskfaktor för barnens psykiska utveckling och hälsa. Man räknar med att cirka 30 procent av patienterna i vuxenpsykiatrisk vård har minderåriga barn. Under ett år får cirka 30 000 patienter vuxenpsykiatrisk vård i Skåne. Sedan år 2010 finns ett tillägg i hälso- och sjukvårdslagen som slår fast att vården ska beakta barne

The results from this study show that both the percentage of students passing a difficult first-year engineering course, and scores on the course exams, are higher for students attending SI compared to students not attending. There is also a clear relation between SI attendance and student performance, with higher attendance leading to higher student performances. The study also shows that female

The book provides an in-depth analysis of the processes of innovation found in industrial clusters. The Authors focus particularly on the characteristics of innovation clusters and their operation in the food industry. This is revealed through novel case studies, detailed research on dynamic cluster relationship between academia and the industry, and the role of competencies, resources, interactio

Oranic acid anhydrides (OAAs) are important reactive, low-molecular-weight industrial chemicals which induce allergic rhinitis and asthma in exposed subjects. Specific IgE has been demonstrated in a large proportion of OAA-exposed workers. The characteristics of the OAAs make them excellent model compounds for studies of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) of allergenicity. In the
