Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common cardiovascular disorder, with or without signs of underlying neurodegenerative disease. OH is diagnosed on the basis of an orthostatic challenge and implies a persistent systolic/diastolic blood pressure decrease of at least 20/10 mm Hg upon standing. Its prevalence is age dependent, ranging from 5% in patients <50 years of age to 30% in those >70 years of
Photofragmentation laser-induced fluorescence (PF-LIF) is for the first time demonstrated to be a practical diagnostic tool for detection of hydrogen peroxide. Point measurements as well as two-dimensional (2D) measurements in free-flows, with nitrogen as bath gas, are reported. The present application of the PF-LIF technique involves one laser, emitting radiation of 266 nm wavelength, to dissocia
All animals have to cope with sensory conflicts arising from simultaneous input of incongruent data to different sensory modalities. Nocturnal activity in moths includes mate-finding behaviour by odour detection and bat predator avoidance by acoustic detection. We studied male moths that were simultaneously exposed to female sex pheromones indicating the presence of a potential mate, and artificia
The effects of sulfate anions on the uptake of Pb(II) onto goethite were investigated at the molecular level using in situ Pb L-III-EXAFS and ATR-FTIR spectroscopies. Macroscopic uptake data show that Pb uptake can be enhanced by at least 30% at pH 5 in the presence of 3.16 mM sulfate and that sulfate uptake at pH 7 can be enhanced by more than a factor of 3 in the presence of 1.0 mM Pb. Consisten
This study examines the phenomena of “social clauses” that aim to uphold labour standards within the international trade regime and discusses examples of their implementation. “Social clauses”, despite their contentious past within the World Trade Organisation and preceding frameworks, can be found in a number of Free Trade Agreements and Generalised Systems of Preferences. The study initially set
Att förstå och att bli förstådd är avgörande för att människor inte ska missuppfatta varandra. I de fall det inte går att avläsa omgivningens reaktioner så som t.ex. på internet, är risken för feltolkningar eller missförstånd betydligt större. Om andra misstolkar eller missuppfattar det som har skrivits kan personen göra sig skyldig till brottet förtal. Om en kommentar får någon att känna sig illaTo understand and to be understood is crucial for people not to be misinterpreting each other. In those cases where it isn´t possible to read the ambient reaction such as for example, on the Internet, the risk of misinterpretation or misunderstanding is much greater. If others misinterpret or misunderstand what has been written, the person may be guilty of the offense of defamation. If a comment m
Following the launch of the infringement procedure against Romania for enacting measures in the food trade industry, the public debate has been whether the rule compelling large retailers to acquire 51% of certain food products placed for sale from a short supply chain that involves a limited number of intermediaries and close geographical and social ties is compatible with EU law. The research ad
För människan är en grundläggande miljökvalitet en nödvändig förutsättning för liv och livskvalitet. Eftersom vi vill leva är miljökvalitet eftersträvansvärt. För människan är även förutsebarhet en viktig förutsättning då den gör det möjligt att planera sin tillvaro och känna trygghet. För att få förutsebarhet är juridik ett viktigt medel. Det kan dock finnas ett spänningsförhållande mellan juridiFor humankind, an elementary level of quality in the environment is a necessary precondition for life and life quality. Therefore, it is also desirable since we want to live. For humankind, foreseeability is also an important precondition since it makes it possible to plan one’s life and feel secure. In order to get foreseeability, law is an important means. However, there can be a tension between
Abstract The aim of this study was to describe and analyze the church’s social work, with socially vulnerable individuals, in a municipality in the southern part of Sweden. The church of Sweden has a history of social work because it was a state church until 2000. Since the separation it has been defined as any other faith-communities. Therefore this study includes other faith-communities within
Genom EU-domstolens banbrytande avgörande i UsedSoft 2012 bekräftades att konsumtion av spridningsrätten kan ske till digitala kopior av datorprogram, förutsatt att kraven för en ”första försäljning” enligt artikel 4.2 dator-programdirektivet uppfylls. Domen innebar slutpunkten för den vedertagna uppfattningen att spridning av digitala verk ska klassificeras som tjänster, för vilka konsumtionsprinIn 2012, the CJEU confirmed in the landmark UsedSoft case, that the right of distribution right in regards to digital copies of computer program can be exhausted, provided that the requirements for a “first sale” according to Article 4.2 of the Software Directive is met. The ruling put an end to a previous ion that the distribution of digital copies of copyrighted works is considered as a service
The process of globalisation, accompanied by sustainable development considerations, has turned the spotlight on ties between states’ trade interests and their commitment to upholding labour rights. With negotiations on connecting the existent multilateral trading framework to the labour rights perspective at an impasse, major world economies have introduced alternative ways of linking labour conc
I ett flertal utredningar utförda av den franska brottsbekämpande myndighet framkom det snabbt att en viss telefon hittats med personer som tillhör den organiserade brottsligheten. Denna telefon visade sig vara en EncroChat telefon som innehar en stark kryptering. Detta ledde till att de franska myndigheterna startade en operation i syfte att dekryptera EncroChat. Operationen ägde rum i Frankrike In several investigations carried out by the French law enforcement authorities, it quickly emerged that a certain phone was found with people belonging to organized crime. This phone turned out to be an EncroChat phone that has strong encryption. This led to the French authorities launching an operation to decrypt EncroChat. The operation took place in France but affected people in other countrie
In this thesis, the main male characters in three of the plays written by Federico García Lorca are analysed with the aim of seeing the role they play in the frustration of desire. After two chapters dedicated to a review of published critical studies on Lorca and to certain theoretical considerations, Chapter Three examines desire drawing on Ubersfeld's actancial model and observes that these mal
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det är känt att kvalitén på inomhusluften har en avgörande betydelse för folkhälsan bla avseende astma, eksem samt luftvägsinfektioner. Detta är ett för samhället mycket kostsamt problem. I avhandlingen har studerats vissa luftföroreningar inomhus som kan bli följden av att en byggnad drabbats av fuktskada. När fukt påverkar byggnadsmaterial frigörs och bildas en rad oUnsatisfactory indoor air quality (IAQ) may result from polluting emissions that are spread from building materials such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and/or microbial components or from various kinds of human activity such as smoking. Different methods are available to limit the exposure to unwanted pollutants and improve human wellbeing and health. One goal of this thesis was to determine
A complete set of all optical phonon modes predicted by symmetry for bixbyite structure indium oxide is reported here from a combination of far-infrared and infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry, as well as first principles calculations. Dielectric function spectra measured on high quality, marginally electrically conductive melt grown single bulk crystals are obtained on a wavelength-by-wavelength

Kinetics of lysine blockage, as an early step of the Maillard reaction, was investigated in commercial skim milk powder to understand the extent of the reaction, specifically after packages are opened and during the subsequent storage. Samples were stored at six conditions including three temperatures (30, 32.5 and 35 °C) and two relative humidities (43% and 52%) for 30 days, the period in which t
Houses are prominent in many taxes in the Netherlands. In this chapter we analyze the situation of Dutch housing taxation in local and national taxes. We show that both are intertwined because of the use of one value which is determined at the local level, but used at the national level as well. We briefly discuss the balance between local and national taxation in the Netherlands, the relatively l
The funnel metadynamics method enables rigorous calculation of the potential of mean force along an arbitrary binding path and thereby evaluation of the absolute binding free energy. A problem of such physical paths is that the mechanism characterizing the binding process is not always obvious. In particular, it might involve reorganization of the solvent in the binding site, which is not easily c
