Background: Effective digestive enzymes are crucial for successful islet isolation. Supplemental proteases are essential because they synergize with collagenase for effective pancreatic digestion. The activity of these enzymes is critically dependent on the presence of Ca2+ ions at a concentration of 5–10 mM. The present study aimed to determine the Ca2+ concentration during human islet isolation

On the base of reaction of deuteron photo-disintegration it was studied possibility of the simultaneous measuring of cross sections and asymmetry of the (γ,p) reactions at the using of the coherent polarized photon beam. Measurements were performed for the proton emission angle 90°. The cross sections well agree with the literary data, obtained on the bremsstrahlung photon beam in the range of ene

Background and Policy Context: Previous chapters in this book have explored several product-oriented policies, including mandatory laws and product energy labelling, and discussed the importance of an appropriate policy mix. In this chapter, we examine the effects of demand-side policies, with a focus on green public procurement (GPP). GPP has been defined as ‘a process whereby public authorities

I detta temanummer av Förvaltningsrättslig tidskrift har vi samlat bidrag som analyserar 2017 års FL från fyra perspektiv: nyheter i förvaltningslagen, uppdateringar i förvaltningslagen, utanför förvaltningslagen och förvaltningslagen och dess förhållande till andra lagar. Temanumret avslutas med en internationell utblick.

Artikeln undersöker de svenska kommunernas konstitutionella roll i förhållande till EU-rätten. Ramen för undersökningen är spänningen mellan den monolitiska synen på Sverige som en enhetlig medlemsstat och kommunernas grundlagsfästa självstyrelse. Undersökningen uppmärksammar de rättsliga strukturerna och hur dessa förhåller sig till teorier om flernivåstyrning (multi-level governance). Artikeln uThe article explores the impact of the Swedish EU membership on the constitutional role of Swedish local government (municipalities). The tension between subordination as a part of the monolithic member state of Sweden and the constitutionally protected self-government forms the analytical framework. The study highlights the legal structures and links them to political science theories on multi-le

Theatre is one of the artistic tools most often employed in Sweden to promote social integration. The aim of this article is to illustrate recurrent paradoxes concerning representation in multicultural theatre projects in the Swedish context. The productions discussed were studied ethnographically over an extended period of time, 2002 to 2007, with additional interviews undertaken in 2008–10 and 2

In 1736 Samuel Hesselius, former pastor for the Swedish parishes in Pennsylvania, donated a collection of ‘American curiosities’ to Lund University in Sweden. Within less than twenty years, however, the collection had apparently disappeared. In the course of the past three decades the lost ethnographic artefacts have received increasing attention, but for a variety of reasons the collection has reIn 1736 Samuel Hesselius, former pastor for the Swedish parishes in Pennsylvania, donated a collection of ‘American curiosities’ to Lund University in Sweden.

The private garden can be regarded as an important part of the house-owner’s home, but it is also the home of many other living organisms. Birds and mammals, insects, worms and not least plants live their lives intermingled in the contemporary human habitations of single-house suburbs. Thus, home gardens provide plenty of material to reflect on and handle biodiversity and sustainability issues in The private garden can be regarded as an important part of the house-owner's home, but it is also the home of many other living organisms.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of voice disorders in the general population. Study design: Analysis of data from the Stockholm Public Health Cohort. Methods: A public health survey was distributed to an open cohort of 114,538 adults >18 years of age in the area of Stockholm County, Sweden. The survey included one question about voice problems, estimating the extent of occurrence of voice

The present work deals with the diseases of nematodes. Although the term disease implies a pathological condition brought about by an infectious agent, a broader concept is used here.

We present the first reconstruction of the micrometeorite flux to Earth in the Silurian Period. We searched 321 kg of condensed, marine limestone from the Late Silurian Cellon section, southern Austria, for refractory chrome-spinel grains from micrometeorites that fell on the ancient sea floor. A total of 155 extraterrestrial spinel grains (10 grains >63 μm, and 145 in the 32-63 μm fraction) were

We present a study of optical signatures of salmon lice and the ability to distinguish them from a reference zooplankton species. This forms the basis for developing an instrument for detecting salmon lice in situ.

Why a Book about Product-Oriented Environmental Law? While laws relating to the environment have been around for centuries, it could be argued that modern environmental lawmaking started in the 1960s, when many nations began adopting acts specifically targeting the environment. The evolution of environmental law since then has followed several paths, from mainly local regulations to national, Euro
