One of the most significant political changes over the past 25 years in Tamil Nadu, as elsewhere in India, is the implementation of a statutory status for a local elected government in accordance with the 73rd and 74th amendments to the Constitution passed by the Indian Parliament in 1993. The performance of the new system in Tamil Nadu is rather average and not very vibrant. Nevertheless, it has
Popular Abstract in Swedish Biologiska organismer har en fantastisk förmåga att anpassa sig till alla möjliga miljöer. Människans aktiviteter på jorden har skapat många nya habitat för olika typer av organismer; t ex kan vissa organismer växa på sten och vertikala klippor och när människor bygger hus så kan dessa organismer flytta över till väggar och tak som blir nya biotoper att leva på. Några aBiological organisms have an incredible ability to adapt to almost any environment and the humans activities on earth have created many new habitats for different kinds of organisms. For example can certain organisms grow on rocks and vertical cliffs, and when humans started building houses with mineral based façades, some organisms found that these were new habitats to live on. Some of these expa
Purpose - Even though noticeable improvements have been made in global health in recent years, the distribution is uneven throughout the world and many developing and low-income countries lack access to required medicine and vaccines. Thus, a model to strategically source vaccines for these nations can contribute a great deal. This paper presents an extensive review of strategic sourcing literatur
Popular Abstract in Swedish Pankreascancer (cancer i bukspottkörteln) drabbar årligen mer än 200 000 personer över hela världen, varav omkring 900 i Sverige. Sjukdomen är starkt associerad till ökad ålder och drabbar följaktligen väldigt sällan personer under 40 år, medan risken att drabbas vid 80 års ålder är 40 gånger förhöjd. På grund av dess mycket aggressiva tillväxt, tidiga metastasering samPancreatic cancer includes multiple histologic subtypes that show large differences in their clinical and biological characteristics. Despite this diversity, more than 85% of the neoplasms in the organ are malignant ductal adenocarcinomas, which are the focus of the present thesis. At the genetic level this tumor type is characterized by highly rearranged karyotypes, resulting in a large number of
Restriction Endonuclease Analysis (REA) was used to characterize strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lb. pentosus, and Lb. reuteri. This method was shown to be a powerful tool for separation at the species and strain level. RAPD analysis of raw cell abstracts was used to characterize strains of Lb. plantarum. This method was shown to be useful for separation of most strains, and the results were o

Global Merger and Acquisition activity reached record levels in 2006, with the US and EU playing a large role in this activity. This paper examines the duties of a board which is subject to a takeover bid and any defensive moves the board may take to protect its company from acquisition. The US law in this field requires the boards to actively participate in any bid offers and grants these boards
According to a European Council recommendation, the prime concerns member states should consider when negotiating and concluding new readmission agreements are speed and simplicity. The readmission agreements are written in a reciprocal manner, but it is easy to imagine that they are not for the mutual benefit of the states involved. Usually, the state insisting on a readmission agreement has a pr
The issue of possession of the air has been debated over literally thousands of years. The Romans debated the ownership of the air above their cornfields. When man finally could construct aircraft, in this case a balloon, heavier-than-air in the 1780's it did not take long before the first regulation came into force. The issue of state sovereignty had been discussed since the national states s
As an international actor it is preferable to make an effort to understand how your performance affects the long-term sustainability, both in local and global terms. Sustainability includes subjects such as integration between economical, social and environmental spheres. It can be achieved by reorganizing living conditions, reappraising economic sectors and work practices, develop technologies in
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted routine hospital services globally.

Background: The diagnostic accuracy of colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) depends on a well-cleansed bowel. Evaluating the cleansing quality can be difficult with a substantial interobserver variation. Objectives: Our primary aim was to establish a standard of agreement for bowel cleansing in CCE based on evaluations by expert readers. Then, we aimed to investigate the interobserver agreement on bowel

Debates of whether Z=114 and N=184 are the next magic numbers in nuclear physics have existed since the earliest predictions made in the 1960s. Until these days they have not been firmly established. To get a better understanding of the magic numbers, it is of key importance to study the nuclei in the vicinity of established and anticipated shell closures. Above shell closures, fast alpha-decaying
The aim of this master thesis was to investigate a Fe-Mo-oxide catalyst of spinel structure for methanol oxidation to produce formaldehyde and determine if the spinel could be an alternative to the commercial Formox catalyst used today. This included firstly, synthesising the catalyst to get more knowledge of the formation of the structure and secondly, determine the activity, selectivity to forma
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det är vanligt att ögonvittnen återger och diskuterar en upplevd brottshändelse med sin familj och vänner. Syftet med dessa diskussioner är att uppdatera familj och vänner om vad som är nytt. Dessa diskussioner har konsekvenser för ögonvittnets senare minnesrapportering och meta-minnesbedömningar. Med minnesrapportering menas här vad ett ögonvittne kan återerinra sig omThis thesis investigated the effects of eyewitnesses retellings and discussions with non-witnesses on the eyewitness memory and meta-memory judgments. In Study I, the effect of eyewitness discussions with non-witnesses (persons who had not experienced the event) on eyewitness memory and meta-memory realism for the overall information about an event was investigated. The results suggest that discussi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Polymergeler och deras interaktioner med joniska surfaktanter. Olika typer av hydrofoba polymerer och hydrophobmodifierade polymerer tvärbinds kemisk till geler. Dessa geler tillhör gruppen responsiva geler, vilket betyder att gelerna ändrar sin volym under yttre påverkan. Gelernas volymändring studeras vid tillsats av olika joniska surfaktanter, vid tillsats av saltThe response on chemically crosslinked gels and polymer solutions on the addition of ionic surfactants and/or addition of salt at different temperatures have been studied. All polymers studied are water soluble and slightly hydrophobic or hydrophobically modified. Because of their hydrophobicity the polymers have a strong tendency to associate, both with themselves and with surfactants. Another i
