The theoretical approach stems from the concept of networks and potential clashes in the relation between experts and democratic values. An examination has been done of 25 documents concerning the inv

As a transition economy, China faces the reality of shortage of innovation resources and unbalanced allocation of innovation resources among regions when operating innovation activities. In order to solve these two problems, China needs to make efforts in increasing innovation efficiency and narrowing disparities between eastern regions and other regions. Among them, central regions are the area t

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the construction of consensus in commune-collaborations. By a review of written material combined with elite interviews we have been able to follow the decision-making and the forming of consensus, in a commune-collaboration called NOSAM, in which they have decided to use consensus as a decision method.

Sedan det europeiska projektets tidiga dagar har de underliggande ekonomiska motiven för integrationen konfronterats med allmänna intressen såsom oro för miljön. Denna spänning har varit påtaglig, i synnerhet förhållandet mellan nationella åtgärder som syftar till att skydda miljön och allmänna bestämmelser som reglerar EU:s inre marknad. Med tiden har miljöskydd och hållbar utveckling blivit inteSince the early days of the European project the economic rationale of integration has been confronted by public interests such as concerns for the environment. This tension has been tangible particularly in the relationship between national measures aimed at protecting the environment and the general rules governing the internal market. Over time environmental protection and sustainability have b

Popular Abstract in Swedish Oberoende av om det är i ett samhälle, datornätverk eller organen i en mänsklig kropp, så är behovet av kommunikation stort i en komplex miljö. Eftersom den komplicerade människokroppen är beroende av kommunikation för att reglera funktioner, skickas otaliga mängder signaler oavbrutet. För att signalerna skall vara meningsfulla så måste de kunna tas emot och behandlas. Intercellular communication is of crucial importance in regulating physiology and G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have evolved as an important mechanism in this process. Of the approximately 800 human GPCRs, about 160 are still considered to be “orphan” receptors for which an endogenous ligand remains to be identified. Since an estimated 50% of all clinical drugs act on 30 known GPCRs, the rem

Background: Virtual Reality cognitive behavioral therapy (VR-CBT) has proven to be an effective treatment method for paranoia and anxiety in psychosis. However, it is unknown, which individuals benefit most from VR-CBT. Previous studies examined factors affecting the treatment effect of regular CBTp, including illness duration, paranoia, depression, and pre-therapy avoidance behaviors, but results

BACKGROUND: Given the limited research focusing on psychotherapeutic interventions for suicide attempters, it is noteworthy that the Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program (ASSIP) has demonstrated promising results in previous studies. In this investigation, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of ASSIP across diverse healthcare settings, outlining the study design and planned evaluation.MET

Warmer temperatures and the combined effects of wind and water erosion leads to serious soil loss. Identifying the contribution of different drivers to wind and water compound erosion can improve soil erosion management in the watershed. Accordingly, we calculated the erosion energy based on energy theory and applied the mutation test and trend analysis to explore environmental drivers, runoff, an

This paper has its starting point with the discrepancy between the ICPD Plan of Action and the Millennium Development Goals with regards to their separate emphasis on the importance of family planning services as a reproductive health component. The population problem can be looked upon from various theoretical schools. This paper examines the sharply contrasting views of economists, on the one ha

States have discretion what concrete measures to undertake to fulfil their primary positive obligations under the ECHR. If a violation of these obligations is found, states also have discretion how to execute the judgment to comply with their secondary obligations. Yet, when the Court reasons to reach a conclusion whether there has been a violation, it necessarily specifies possible concrete measu

Purpose: Ultrahypofractionated (UHF) radiation therapy (RT) has become a treatment alternative for patients with localized prostate cancer. In more advanced cases, seminal vesicles (SVs) are routinely included in the target volume. The Scandinavian HYPO-RT-PC trial, which compared 42.7 Gy in 7 fractions (fr) to conventional fractionation (CF), did not include SVs in the clinical target volume. The

In 2014 the Public Health Agency of Sweden and the Swedish Reference Group for Antiviral Therapy (RAV) conducted a review and analysis of the state of knowledge on the duration of follow-up after exposure to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Up until then a follow-up of 12 weeks after exposure had been recommended, but improved tests and new information on early diagnosis motivated a re-evaluati

This paper quantitatively analyzes the importance of taste versus health in food demand,as well as the effect on consumers’ experienced taste of the non-intrinsic value of healthy labels. Our analysis is based on taste experiments and Vickrey second price auctions on potato chips and bread. Our findings imply a large positive effect on demand for potato chips from higher taste scores: when consume
