Till skillnad från den nazistiska eugeniken alstras den genteknologiska av marknadskrafterna. Mot efterfrågan på eliminering av t ex sjukdomsgener svarar transnationella företags privatisering av det mänskliga genetiska arvet via patentering av livsformer. Det är hög tid att analysera de omvälvande sociala och politiska följderna av denna bio-ekonomiska utveckling.

This study considers detection of polyproline type II secondary structures from protein sequences. This difficult problem was handled with multilayer perceptron neural networks, which were found to be useful for such bioinformatics studies. Polyproline II secondary structures have not previously been tried to be predicted from sequences.

Disturbances in glucose metabolism are of importance for violent behaviour in men, but studies in women are lacking. We used the 5h-oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in this study of 17 female psychiatric patients, selected for violent behaviour directed against themselves (deliberate self-harm) and 17 healthy controls matched for age and BMI. Following OGTT, patients had higher glucose levels at

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Replacing the energy-intensive evaporation of stillage by anaerobic digestion is one way of decreasing the energy demand of the lignocellulosic biomass to the ethanol process. The biogas can be upgraded and sold as transportation fuel, injected directly into the gas grid or be incinerated on-site for combined heat and power generation. A techno-economic evaluation of the spru

Ur ett internationellt perspektiv har Sverige ett högt anseende gällande jämställdhet mellan kvin- nor och män. Trots detta finns det en generell löneskillnad på 12,5 procent mellan könen. Att det finns oförklarade löneskillnader mellan kvinnor och män kan förklaras med att Sverige har en könssegregerad arbetsmarknad. Statistiskt sett finns det oförklarade löneskillnader, men Arbets- domstolen harSweden is regarded as one of the top countries in the world in terms of equality between wom-en and men. Even so, there is a general pay gap of 12.5 % between the sexes. The unex-plained pay differences between women and men can be explained by a gender segregated labour market. Even though statistics show unexplained pay differences between the sexes, there has not been a single conviction of pay

The worlds shipping must reach a 55 percent reduction in carbon dioxide by 2050. This is a massive challenge that will have an effect on every ship, every shipowner and every yard all over the world. At the same time, it appears to be challenging to implement new technologies and the transition is so far too slow for the industry to reach its target. The purpose of this study examines how shipping

The Anselmian claim that God is that than which a greater cannot be thought in virtue of being ‘whatever it is better to be than not to be’ may be accused of incoherence or even unintelligibility. By proposing a non-relative but apparently meaningful analysis thereof, I attempt to defend it against such criticism. In particular, I argue that ‘whatever it is better to be than not to be’ can be plau

To evaluate polyalkylimide as a possible vitreous tamponading agent. A 20-gauge pars plana vitrectomy and posterior vitreous detachment were performed in the right eye of six pigmented rabbits. Approximately 1 ml of viscoelastic gel, polyalkylimide (Bio-AlcamidA (R)) was thereafter injected into the vitreous space. Full-field ERG and intraocular pressure (IOP, Tonopen) was measured pre-and postope

Centrum för Öresundsstudiers tidskrift "Gränslös. Tidskrift för studier av Öresundsregionens historia, kultur och samhällsliv" ger ut ett specialnummer som fokuserar på ett bortglömt perspektiv i visioner om och analyser av Öresundsregionen – funktionsförmåga. I visionen om Öresundsregionen är det i regel ett friktionsfritt, transnationellt flöde av kroppar som lyfts fram. Visionerna utgår från en

Bark and bark-containing forest residues have the potential for utilization as raw material for lignocellulosic ethanol production due to their abundance and low cost. However, the different physical properties and chemical composition of bark compared to the conventionally used wood chips may influence the spruce-to-ethanol bioconversion process. This study assesses the impact of bark on the over

Genom att beskriva rättens beroende av kontext och rumsliga och kroppsliga relationer i termer av förtingligande uttrycker jag i denna artikel en kognitionsvetenskaplig inriktning och relevans för ett bredare rättsvetenskapligt perspektiv på rättslig analys. Jag visar därmed, inte minst genom en rad exempel, på de begreppsliga lånens oundviklighet för rättsliga abstraktioner. Vi har ett behov av a
