Samhällsekonomiska analyser är ett viktigt underlag för beslut i infrastruktur- och transportplaneringen. En av de effekter som värderas i samhällsekonomiska analyser är klimateffekter och för detta krävs att man gör en bedömning av koldioxidvärdet, det vill säga, kostnaden för koldioxidutsläpp, vilket anges i kr/kg CO2. Dock finns det olika sätt att värdera koldioxid och det finns ingen konsensus
There are obvious and essential links between human rights (often referred to as fundamental rights in the internal EU context) and administrative action – also at the level of the EU. Administrative law may negatively interfere with human rights positions. At the same time good administration is in itself an entitlement guaranteed by human rights as most prominently evidenced by Article 41 of the
An estimated 10% of stroke patients have an underlying dementia. As a consequence, health professionals often face the challenge of managing patients with dementia presenting with an acute stroke. Patients with dementia are less likely to receive thrombolysis (0.56-10% vs. 1-16% thrombolysis rates in the general population), be admitted to a stroke unit or receive some types of care. Anticoagulati
Background and Purpose - A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is disproportionately prevalent in patients with cryptogenic stroke. Without alternative explanations, it is frequently considered to be causative. A detailed stratification of these patients may improve the identification of incidental PFO. Methods - We investigated the PFO prevalence in 3497 transient ischemic attack and ischemic stroke patie
The global impact of LRRK2 mutations is yet to be realized with a lack of studies in specific ethnic groups, including those of Asian and African descent. Herein, we investigated the frequency of common LRRK2 variants by complete exon sequencing in a series of publicly available African American Parkinson's disease patients. Our study identified three novel synonymous exonic variants and 13 known
According to a predominant way of thinking, competition is believed to be what drives society forward. It is believed to lead to economic growth through lower prices, higher quality and a more efficient distribution of resources. Competition is also believed to stimulate progress by creating incentives for creativity and innovation. Furthermore, it is commonly associated with values of freedom, by
The Swedish educational policy for upper secondary English, which took effect in 2011 and adopts a globalised perspective on language, is explored with respect to how skills and awareness related to local, national, and international roles of English are represented in policy documents. A discourse analytic approach to language policy is used to offer a critical reading of the national syllabus fo
Today’s communities are characterized by migration, transnationalism, and participation in the global economy, and many also have long local histories of linguistic diversity. Empowering individuals in these contexts means fostering the ability to use and expand their existing linguistic repertoires so they can take advantage of the social and economic opportunities afforded by contemporary life.
Wood components such as cellulose, lignin and hemicelluloses all have potential to be used in biobased value-added products. Once extracted from the wood these components have to be separated and purified from co-extracted compounds. Membrane filtration can be used to achieve this separation and is believed to play an important role in biorefineries.Fouling is the single greatest obstacle to the i
