Mapping the Unknown Terrain: Party Policy Mapping in Electoral Authoritarian Regimes

Oppositional pre-electoral coalition formation has, in a number of recent studies, been proven to have an important effect on the prospects for liberalizing electoral outcomes in authoritarian elections. Despite this recent recognition of oppositional coalitions as a trigger for democratization, almost nothing is known about when these coalitions are formed. An important explanation for the la

Localization of thrombin cleavage sites in the amino-terminal region of bovine protein S

Protein S is a vitamin K-dependent plasma protein. It functions as a cofactor to activated protein C in the inactivation of factors Va and VIIIa by limited proteolysis. Protein S is very sensitive to proteolysis by thrombin which reduces its calcium ion binding and leads to a loss of its cofactor activity. We have now determined the sequence of the 100 amino-terminal amino acid residues and locali

Improvisera mera? Kritisk diskursanalys och dekonstruktion av texter om orgelimprovisation

This article describes an analysis of texts on musical learning processes. Two texts from two Swedish textbooks on organ improvisation, that were pub- lished with an interval of twenty years (1977 and 1996), were chosen with the purpose of studying the development of lan- guage use during this period. A combination of critical discourse analysis (CDA) and deconstruc- tion was used in the analysis,

Attenuation correction in pulmonary and myocardial single photon emission computed tomography.

Popular Abstract in Swedish I nuklearmedicinska mätningar registreras förekomsten av en radioaktiv substans, vilken tillförts kroppen, via de fotoner som substansen utsänder. I denna studie har använts tomografisk nuklearmedicinsk teknik, SPECT, som ger information om regional fördelning av radioaktivitet i tre dimensioner. Aktivitetsfördelningen avspeglar någon fysiologisk funktion, exempelvis geThe objective was to develop and validate methods for single photon emission computed tomography, SPECT, allowing quantitative physiological and diagnostic studies of lung and heart. A method for correction of variable attenuation in SPECT, based on transmission measurements before administration of an isotope to the subject, was developed and evaluated. A protocol based upon geometrically well de

Theoretical Framework for Modelling the Behaviour of Frictional Materials

A constitutive theory is proposed, which possesses the possibilities of modelling all the important features or the behaviour or frictional materials such as: influence of all three stress invariants, coupling between deviatoric and volumetric response, dilatancy, softening, and different behaviour in loading and unloading. The basic constitutive assumptions are relations between properly defined

Calculating Climate Debt. A Proposal

Abstract submitted to ISEE 2012 Theme: The Political Economy of Green Development By Rikard Warlenius PhD Candidate Human Ecology Division Lund University, Sweden 2011.11.24 Calculating Climate Debt. A Comparison and a Proposal The notion of climate debt has invoked widespread interest in the last few years. First conceptualized in 1999 within the Millennium movement for (financial) debt cancella

Distributed Performance Analysis of Heterogeneous Systems

In the study of distributed systems, it is of fundamental interest to understand how specifications on local components and interconnections influence global properties of the system. In this paper, we consider linear continuous time systems described by sparse matrices. Properties of interest are stability and quadratic performance specifications such as passivity and input-output gain. In partic
