The aim of this study is to examine the rewriting of the memoirs of the former pirate Alexander Olivier Exquemelin, Los Piratas de América, originally published in Amsterdam in 1678, which the Mexican writer Carmen Boullosa carries out in two recent novels: Son vacas, somos puercos and El médico de los piratas. In the light of Gérard Genette’s theory of hypertextuality this study deals with the fo
BACKGROUND: An insertion/deletion polymorphism in the alpha2B-adrenoceptor (AR) has been associated with the risk for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and sudden cardiac death. In this study we tested whether this polymorphism is associated with the risk for AMI among members of families with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: 154 subjects with a history of AMI were matched for age and sex with one of the
Popular Abstract in Swedish Satser i objektsposition i modern standardarabiska. MODERN STANDARDARABISKA Arabiska talas idag av ca 200 miljoner människor från Marocko och Mauretanien i väster till Irak och Oman i öster. De talade varianterna av språket skiljer sig åt ganska mycket, men man har ett gemensamt skriftspråk. Den moderna varianten av skriftspråket kallas ofta modern standardarabiska ocThis dissertation comprises a corpus-based study of the form and function of sentential object complements in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). The study is motivated by the scarcity of investigations into MSA syntax as opposed to the syntax of Classical Arabic. Complements to three classes of complement-taking predicates (CTPs) manipulation, cognition and utterance are considered. The major part
In this study, we show that distinct compartmentalization patterns of the IL-1 molecules (IL-1alpha and IL-1beta), in the milieu of tumor cells that produce them, differentially affect the malignant process. Active forms of IL-1, namely precursor IL-1alpha (pIL-1alpha), mature IL-1beta (mIL-1beta), and mIL-1beta fused to a signal sequence (ssIL-1beta), were transfected into an established fibrosar
The myosin heavy chain stoichiometry and the force-velocity relation have been determined in the myometrium of the non-pregnant and pregnant rat. The relative proportions of the slower migrating heavy chain (MHC1) greatly exceeded that of the faster migrating heavy chain (MHC2) as shown by electrophoresis on SDS 4%-polyacrylamide gels. The ratios of MHC1/MHC2 were 2.2/1 in the non-pregnant rats, 2
A set of measurement with moveable aperture restrictions, also called scrapers, has been carried out at MAX II (Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 343 (1994) 644), the 1.5GeV electron storage ring at MAX-lab, Lund, Sweden. The measurements with scrapers in MAX 11 have shown to give a number of useful results, such as the vertical and horizontal acceptance, which are 7.4 x 10(-6) and 9.6 x 10-6 m, respective
OBJECTIVE: To study the stent/vessel interaction and distensibility following the natural increase in vascular diameter using self-expanding and balloon-expanded stents. DESIGN: Open experimental study. SETTING: Animal laboratory, university hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eight Palmaz (P) and eight Gianturco (G) stents were transluminally placed in the infrarenal aortas of 16 pigs. Pulsatile dia
Background. The incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and prevalence of obesity are increasing globally. A suggested positive association between obesity and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma has prompted us to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and risk of malignant lymphoma subtypes in a population-based case-control study. Methods: Telephone interviews were conducted with 3055 ca
The incidence of prostate cancer has increased dramatically during the last 10-15 years and it is now the commonest cancer in males in developed countries. The increase is mainly caused by the increasing use of opportunistic screening or case-finding based on the use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in serum. With this approach, prostate cancer is detected 5-10 years before giving rise t
This thesis focuses on both street art and outdoor advertisements in Istanbul. Specifically, we chose Istiklal and Bağdat Avenues as our fieldwork areas to conduct our research. With its cosmopolitan structure Istiklal Avenue and high-standard lifestyle Bağdat Avenue together represent Istanbul to understand the multifaceted nature of social, cultural and political identities of the society. In re
Trots tydlig rättspraxis och en stark politisk vilja att säkra rätten för varje enskild eller företag som lidit skada vid brott mot EU:s konkurrensregler – i synnerhet artiklarna 101 och 102 Fördraget om Europeiska unionens funktionssätt (EUF) - att kunna söka kompensation, så har det konkurrensrättsliga skadeståndet inte fått något större genomslag. Europakommissionen (”Kommissionen”) har med andDespite the clear view of the European Commission (“the Commission”) and the European Court of Justice (“the ECJ”) that any citizen or business suffering harm following a breach of the EU competition rules - in particular Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Market (TFEU) - should be able to obtain damages from the infringing party, to this date, damages have only
This thesis examines whether Swedish quoted firms exhibit any asymmetries in macroeconomic risk exposure towards exchange rate risks and interest rate risks across bear and bull markets. Empirical research suggests that events in the stock market influence the real economy and that stock prices tend to lead real economic activity, and thus could bearish and bullish market give rise to conditional
Abstract Screening LCA has been used to gain further insight into the environmental performance of Gambrosol Trio, a fluid used in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) as a form of renal therapy. Gambrosol Trio (Trio) is produced and commercialised by Gambro AB, an international company with headquarters in Stockholm and historic roots in Lund, Sweden. The product's distinctive cha
This thesis addresses the correlation between creditor protection and thecross-border seat transfer of companies in the light of the case law of the European Court of Justice concerning the freedom of establishment of undertakings. After the restrictive outcome of Daily Mail, the judgment of the European Court of Justice in Centros took the legal community by surprise. The following cases of Übers

This thesis aims to develop the research focused on the economic value of deal terms in venture capital (VC) contracts. The study looks at common features (covenants) in a Venture Capital contract such as preferred equity, ceased participation, liquidation preference, and dividends. Different deal terms (covenants) and their outcomes for the VC are tested in order to examine if significantly diffe
Aquaculture is a growing sector and many studies are carried out to select and optimize species for conservation, keeping or production. Lately, new species are being introduced in aquaculture, although for some of them the basic knowledge is still incomplete. Moreover, there are further issues connected to acclimatising the new species to artificial conditions and have them reproduce successfully
