The global socially engaged Buddhist movement emphasis Buddhism’s engagement with society. It is a socially and politically active form of Buddhism that came into being in the twentieth century. Engaged Buddhism is a non-centralized movement that emerged in response to multiple crises in modern Asia. It has been described as a modern form of Buddhism, influenced by; modern, social, economic, psych
Exposure of metazoan organisms to hypoxia engages a metabolic switch orchestrated by the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1). HIF-1 mediates induction of glycolysis and active repression of mitochondrial respiration that reduces oxygen consumption and inhibits the production of potentially harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here, we show that FoxO3A is activated in hypoxia downstream of HIF-1 a
The aim was to investigate whether there are any positive consequences of childhood cancer. Studies published 1990-2005 reporting survivors' descriptions of positive consequences of childhood cancer were identified through a search in the databases CINAHL, PsycINFO, and PubMed. According to a manifest content analysis, positive consequences were referred to three themes: life values, relations to
The purpose of this study is to describe how the greenhouse gas (GHG) benefits of ethanol from agricultural crops depend on local conditions and calculation methods. The focus is mainly on the fuels used in the ethanol process and biogenic GHG from the soils cultivated. To ensure that "good" ethanol is produced, with reference to GHG benefits, the following demands must be met: (i) ethanol plants
Close-in planets are in jeopardy, as their host stars evolve off the main sequence (MS) to the subgiant and red giant phases. In this paper, we explore the influences of the stellar mass (in the range 1.5-2M similar to), mass-loss prescription, planet mass (from Neptune up to 10 Jupiter masses), and eccentricity on the orbital evolution of planets as their parent stars evolve to become subgiants a
Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer är den ledande dödsorsaken i världen och stod för 7,6 miljoner dödsfall under 2008, vilket beräknas vara omkring 13 % av den totala dödsfallsiffran. Även om det finns flera olika metoder för att behandla eller bromsa cancerutveckling, krävs det nya terapier på grund av allvarliga biverkningar och otillfredsställande resultat med de nuvarande behandlingsmetoderna.Proteoglycans (PG) are highly anionic macromolecules consisting of a core protein covalently substituted with long unbranched polysaccharide chains called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). PGs are central components in multicellular organisms, and they may occur in the extracellular matrix (ECM), at the cell surface, or in the secretory pathway. At the tumor cell surface, PGs and GAGs are involved in the
The initial stages of stress corrosion on an amorphous polymer is investigated. This is done by exposing stressed specimens of polycarbonate to an acetone and water solution. The surface develops two distinct features of degradation that appear on different length scales when subjected to tensile stress. Small pits form on the surface and make it rough. These pits are in the order of micrometers,
Blood coagulation and complement pathways are two important natural defense systems. The high affinity interaction between the anticoagulant vitamin K-dependent protein S and the complement regulator C4b-binding protein (C4BP) is a direct physical link between the two systems. In human plasma, similar to 70% of total protein S circulates in complex with C4BP; the remaining is free. The anticoagula

Title: Jag berusar mig på kärlek - en kvalitativ studie om vuxna barn till missbrukare Supervisor: Arne Kristiansen Assessor: Staffan Blomberg The aim of this study was to from a salutogenic perspective bring forward and present possible reasons why certain children survive against the odds, even though they have grown up in a riskfilled enviroment,
Abstract Authors: Helena Solberg and Martina Andersson Title: Pregnant addicts and their fetus – a qualitative study from the professional perspective on the dilemma of compulsory treatment during pregnancy. Supervisor: Helena Hansson The purpose of this study was to examine and interpret the situation with pregnant women with alcohol-or drug addiction from a professional perspective. Our study a
Åska hör till ett av de farligaste fenomenen som finns i vår atmosfär. Intresset av att observera åska har alltid funnits hos människan. Först på senare tid har man börjat förstå fysiken bakom fenomenet, även om det fortfarande finns många luckor i kunskapen. Sedan 2000 använder Danmarks Meteorologiska Institut blixtlokaliseringssystemet IMAPCT, som bland annat registrerar nedslagspunkt, strömstyrThunderstorms are one of the most dangerous phenomena in our atmosphere. Mankind has always been interested in observing thunderstorms. It is only recently that we have begun to understand the physics behind this phenomenon. However, there are still many gaps in the knowledge. Since 2000, Denmark has been using the lightning locating system IMPACT which registers strike point, average amperage and
Purpose: The purpose of this paper has been to increase our understanding of the concept of creativity from a interpretive approach, and examine whether it has an impact on the normative control through which the advertising agency firm is governed. Method: This paper has been conducted through the use of an constructivist ontology and an interpretive approach on creativity. Based on this type of
Bakgrund: Gymnasieelever är en stor målgrupp i Sverige, där många inte tar examen, med skoltrötthet som den vanligaste orsaken. Aktivitetsbalans är viktigt för att bibehålla hälsa och välmående. I dagsläget saknas det studier kring gymnasieelevers upplevda aktivitetsbalans. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka upplevelser av aktivitetsbalans i det dagliga livet hos gymnasieelever i södra Sverige.
Through previous research, several factors concerning the lack of knowledge among professionals regarding their work with transgender clients have been identified. A need for more counseling support for transgender clients has also been identified. The following study aims to respond to these shortcomings by studying professionals in Sweden who have experience working with clients who are explorin
Har du någonsin öppnat en flaska juice på morgonen för att sedan upptäcka att den luktar bacon? I så fall är det möjligt att en typ av bakterie som kallas Alicyclobacillus (förkortad ACB) har börjat växa i juicen. Inom juice-industrin är ACB - tillsammans med jäst, mögel och andra bakterier som kan växa i sura miljöer - en av de främsta bovarna som gör att produkter måste slängas eller återkallaThe main concerns of food spoilage in fruit juices are the off-flavours and off-odours caused by microorganisms. In order to ensure high quality products, these microorganisms must therefore be eliminated or below a certain limit. Trials using pear concentrate, a ready-to-drink pear drink and a carbonated pear drink, were performed in order to compare two detection methods for three different grou
Syftet med denna uppsats är att identifiera den rådande diskursen inom juridisk forskning på området artificiell intelligens (AI) och genus, och att diskutera för- och nackdelar med de lösningar forskare presenterat i relation till substantiell jämställdhet. De rekommenderade lösningarna identifieras genom en systematisk juridisk litteraturgenomgång av AI och genus. Genom att tillämpa teorin om soThe thesis aims to identify the dominant narrative within the legal research field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and discuss the merit of the prevalent solutions offered by scholars in relation to substantive gender equality. The thesis finds the solutions from a systematic legal literature review covering AI and gender. It develops an analytical framework by applying the theory of social change
