In this chapter we argue for taking time and place into account in analyses of law and legal practice and for law to embrace a chronotopic approach. We demonstrate the relevance of this approach through a chronotopic analysis of the crime of sexual molestation under Chapter 6 Section 10 in the Swedish Criminal Code (1962:700). We present results from a quantitative study of 215 police-reported inc
Acquisition of complement regulators is a virulence strategy used by nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) to evade complement-mediated killing by the host. The major outer membrane protein of NTHi, P5, binds C4b-binding protein and factor H to promote bacterial serum resistance. We show that P5 also binds vitronectin, which inhibits the formation of the membrane attack complex at the terminal
We have generated two reporter plasmids that either monitor expression of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) E2 mRNAs using splice site SA2709 or HPV16 E1C mRNAs utilizing splice site SA2582. In plasmid pE2sLuc, the entire E2 open reading frame was replaced by the secreted luciferase (sLuc) reporter gene and in the pE1nLuc plasmid the E1/E1C open reading frame was fused in frame with the nanoluc
Objectives: To evaluate the test–retest reliability of a novel laboratory-based protocol for inducing and measuring head acceleration in multiple directions under anticipated and unanticipated conditions. Design: Laboratory-based test–retest reliability study. Methods: Thirty physically active adults (50% female) completed standardized head perturbations using a custom-built apparatus. Perturbatio
Background: Normal hand function relies on a finely tuned interaction between the sensory and motor systems within the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system continuously adapts to changed activity, environmental changes, learning, and injury — a phenomenon known as neuroplasticity. The neuroplasticity is a life-long ability and presents opportunities for therapeutic in
UNLABELLED: Pectobacterium brasiliense ( Pbr) is known to be one of the most virulent Pectobacterium species and is generally widely distributed across the globe, especially known for causing soft rot in potato-tubers and black leg in potato-plants. Currently no treatment mechanism exists, and many studies have focused on alternative treatment approaches such as biocontrol agents. Several studie
ObjectivesTo compare head acceleration between blind football players and non-disabled football players, and between anticipated and unanticipated conditions in blind football players.DesignLaboratory-based exploratory study.MethodsParticipants were ten football players (five blind football, five non-disabled; 80% female). Standardized head perturbations were applied in flexion, extension, lateral
BackgroundIn the event of a major incident, collaboration between the ambulance service, fire brigade and police is common. Effective collaboration requires teamwork, with communication between the three organisations being crucial. Leadership functions should be integrated in a way that leverages organisation-specific capabilities, enabling interprofessional collaboration where diverse profession
Foot-and-mouth disease viruses from serotypes O, A and C have been crystallized. The particular strains studied include O1K, A1061, A22 Iraq 24/64, A24 Cruzeiro and C-S8c1. In addition, crystals have been grown of G67, a monoclonal antibody neutralization escape mutant derived from O1K, and of virus R100, recovered after the establishment of a persistent infection in baby hamster kidney cells with
Birth is a dangerous and dynamic event resulting in new life, as well as in death and loss. As distinct as the birth transition may seem, it remains essentially a process. The term ‘perinatal’ defines the phase beginning in late pregnancy when the fetus has potential to survive the delivery, and ending, roughly, seven days after birth, demarcating the period when the child gradually emerges and st
Corporate and State Responsibilities in Conflict-Affected Areas Radu Mares* Nordic Journal of International law, Volume 83, Number 3 (2014) pp. 293-345 Abstract Some of the emblematic cases of corporate-related infringements of human rights have appeared in unstable and violence-ridden zones, including armed conflict and other contexts with lower levels of conflict, internal disturbances, widespre

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic surgery remains associated with high morbidity rates. Although postoperative mortality appears to have improved with specialization, the outcomes reported in the literature reflect the activity of highly specialized centres. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes following pancreatic surgery worldwide.METHODS: This was an international, prospective, multicentre,
It is well known that reformulating the original problem can be crucial for the performance of mixed-integer programming (MIP) solvers. To ensure correctness, all transformations must preserve the feasibility status and optimal value of the problem, but there is currently no established methodology to express and verify the equivalence of two mixed-integer programs. In this work, we take a first s
Proof logging has long been the established method to certify correctness of Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solvers, but has only recently been introduced for SAT-based optimization (MaxSAT). The focus of this paper is solution-improving search (SIS), in which a SAT solver is iteratively queried for increasingly better solutions until an optimal one is found. A challenging aspect of modern SIS solve
Pseudo-Boolean proof logging has been used successfully to provide certificates of optimality from a variety of constraint- and satisifability-style solvers that combine reasoning with a backtracking or clause-learning search. Another paradigm, occurring in dynamic programming and decision diagram solving, instead reasons about partial states and possible transitions between them. We describe a fr
There is a scarcity of rehabilitation methods for people with stress-related disorders that are effective in terms of return to work and reducing sick leave. This chapter describes the Redesigning Daily Occupations (ReDOTM) program for women with stress-related disorders, the development, its main principles, and primary and secondary outcomes. The ReDOTM program, which addresses people’s whole re
Frost is damaging to plants when air temperature drops below their tolerance threshold. The set of mechanisms used by cold-tolerant plants to withstand freezing is called “hardening” and typically take place in autumn to protect against winter damage. The recent incorporation of a hardening scheme in the demographic vegetation model FATES opens up the possibility to investigate frost mortality to
