Studies of grief have linked the experience of loss to multiple emotional, cognitive and physiological impairments but its behaviour across different cultures is insufficiently investigated. In this study, symptoms of grief and their relationship to negative psychological outcome among bereaved Jamaicans were assessed. A sample of (N=58) participants completed measures of grief and psychological d
The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (Rome Statute) was signed 17 July 1998. It will be a permanent court that will have jurisdiction over crimes in potentially all States. The defendants will not be States, but individuals. Among the four crimes listed in Rome Statute the crime of aggression was the most contentious. The issue of aggression and efforts to deter the use of force ha
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) alone and with additional ST analysis (EFM + ST) in laboring women with a singleton term pregnancy that is in cephalic presentation in the prevention of metabolic acidosis by the application of individual patient data metaanalysis. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted an individual patient data metaanal
Streptococcus pneumoniae infections remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therefore a detailed understanding and characterization of the mechanism of host cell colonization and dissemination is critical in order to gain control over this versatile pathogen. Here we identified a novel 72 kDa pneumococcal protein endopeptidase O (PepO), as a plasminogen and fibronectin binding p
Learning is widespread in nature, occurring in most animal taxa and in several different ecological contexts and, thus, might play a key role in evolutionary processes. Here, we review the accumulating empirical evidence for the involvement of learning in mate choice and the consequences for sexual selection and reproductive isolation. We distinguish two broad categories: learned mate preferences
Popular Abstract in Swedish Många av dagens stora folksjukdomar, såsom cancer, diabetes och hjärt-kärlsjukdomar, kopplas i allt högre grad samman med olika riskfaktorer som beror på förändringar i arvsmassan. Dessa nya kopplingar har möjliggjorts tack vare den extrema utveckling av genetiska mätmetoder som har skett under de senaste 15 åren. Med de nya metoderna kan förekomsten och aktiviteten hosThis thesis deals with methods for extracting robust and relevant information from high-dimensional data sets, and statistically guided visualization methods for representing the data in an informative and easily accessible way. High-dimensional data sets are becoming increasingly prevalent in many different scientific disciplines. In this thesis, we focus particularly on so called "omics" data. T
Abstract in Undetermined An alternative to the standard endurance/perdurance accounts of persistence has recently been developed: the stage theory (Sider, 2001; Hawley, 2001). According to this theory, a persisting object is identical with an instantaneous stage (temporal part). On the basis of Leibniz’s Law, I argue that stage theorists either have to deny the alleged identity (i.e. give up their
Inland fisheries have the characteractics of common-pool resources such as joint consumption and subtractability of resource flows. This creates problems of management either by state authorities or private owners. In recent years, community-based fisheries management projects have become widespread in developing countries and shown considerable success. This book deals with community-based fisher
Chemical risks of consumer goods are a rather new concern in society. These risks are usually based on sythetic chemicals and man-made, often imperceptible and potentially devastating. These risks are reliant on knowledge claims and experiences as basis for risk judgments since, for example, chemical properties, threshold values and exposure are part of defining the risk. But risks are also define
The need for new renewable products has enhanced the interest in cellulose and hemicellulose as raw material. The wood plant cell wall is a complex mixture of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and minor amounts of pectin, proteins and extractives. Several interactions between the compounds make them difficult to separate without modification. O-acetyl-galactoglucomannan (O-acetyl-GGM), the major he
During the last few decades interdependencies between univrsities and the surrounding society have multiplied, making universities increasingly dependent on their environments. The number of of demands on and requirements of univesities from various sectors in society hav enot only grown in number but are also changing more quickly. This development affects universities which need increased flexib
