From its early days, the academic debate on public goods has focused on discrepancies or trade-offs regarding the provision of public goods on the one hand and private goods on the other. However, both the extension of the public domain and an increasing interdependence in international relations clearly drive the expansion of an agenda in which there are a growing number of cases where public goo

I ett oroligt och våldsdrabbat Palestina satsade Anglikanska kyrkan på fredsbyggande utbildning under den brittiska mandatstiden 1920-1948. Intentionen bakom skolorna var dialog mellan barn av olika trosuppfattningar som indirekt skulle syfta till fredsfostran. I de anglikanska skolorna blandades judiska, kristna och muslimska elever med olika nationell bakgrund. Detta var ett unikt försök att sk

This paper analyses the potential biomass supply in the 15 EU countries, 8 new member states and 2 candidate countries (ACC10), plus Belarus and the Ukraine. For this purpose five scenarios were designed to describe the short-, moderate- and long-term potential of biomass-for-energy. Our assessments show that under certain restrictions on land availability, the potential supply of biomass energy

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodcirkulationen fungerar i kroppen som ett transport system för proteiner, syre och andra metaboliter. Blodet har den svåra uppgiften att vara flytande och samtidigt kunna koagulera på ställen där kärlet går sönder. Störning i denna balans leder till sjukdomar som hjärtinfarkt och blodpropp eller motsatsen svåra blödningar. Det protein som jag har studerat ingår vid The subject of this thesis is the activated protein C (APC)-mediated inactivation of factor Va. The activated form of factor V (FVa) is a procoagulant cofactor for Factor Xa (FXa) in the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. The procoagulant function of FVa is down regulated by APC through proteolytic cleavage at three sites, Arg306, Arg506 and Arg679. The cleavage at Arg506 is kinetically favore

I det tidiga 1800-talet började man resonera kring hjälpinsatser åt fängelsefångar. I mitten av samma sekel började hjälpen och behandlingen skiljas ut från straffet, olika personer skötte olika uppgifter: Fångvaktarna skötte straffet och föreningar behandlingen. Föreningarna var ett komplement till fängelset vid cellfängelsereformen i mitten av 1800-talet I Sverige hade de bildats på statens init

Land development often results in adverse environmental impact for surface and subsurface water systems. For areas close to the coast, land changes may also result in seawater intrusion into coastal aquifers. Due to this, it is important to evaluate potential adverse effects in advance of any land development. For evaluation purposes a combined groundwater recharge model is proposed with a quasi t

The manipulation of cells and microparticles within microfluidic systems using external forces is valuable for many microscale analytical and bioanalytical applications. Acoustofluidics is the ultrasound-based external forcing of microparticles with microfluidic systems. It has gained much interest because it allows for the simple label-free separation of microparticles based on their mechanical p

Popular Abstract in SwedishProteiner består av långa kedjor av aminosyrer sammanlänkade med en så kallad peptidbindning. Proteinet är således en organisk molekyl och den har en hög molekylvikt som mäts i kilodalton (kDa). Proteiner kan agera som enzymer dvs de underlättar en biokemisk rektion. Ett protein kan vara funktionellt som en enhet och kallas då monomer. Ibland behövs flera proteiner, antiProteins are found on the inside, in the membrane, on the surface and on the outside of cells. They form complicated structures and they interact with other molecules and proteins. Protein complexes and protein-protein interactions are challenging to investigate and in the beginning of protein research most studies were done with single proteins, often in water. Although, in vivo proteins rarely f
