The visual system in animals and humans consists of a number of information processing units that are here called visual routines. These routines are specialized in handling different cognitive tasks, for example, object recognition, motion, stereo, color, texture, and optic flow. together, these routines contribute to the internal representation of the visual world. On the top of this network of

AIMS: The majority of all breast cancers are hormone responsive, traditionally defined by the expression of oestrogen receptor (ER) alpha and/or progesterone receptors.

BACKGROUND: Due to increasing antibiotics resistance, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are receiving increased attention. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major pathogen in this context, involved, e.g., in keratitis and wound infections. Novel bactericidal agents against this pathogen are therefore needed.

Kriser är allmänna och problematiska inslag i samtida politik. Förstådd som en punkt i tiden då ordningen är underminerad av oordning och förändring medför krisen en normativ förskjutning som möjliggör extraordinära åtgärder och att krisen avgränsas från det normala, att det oförutsägbara kan avgränsas till krisen och det som görs i kriser kan anses sakna konsekvenser för normaliteten. AvhandlingeCrises are common and problematic features of contemporary politics. Thought as moments in time when order is undermined by flux and disorder, they entail a normative dislocation allowing for exceptional measures and for the bracketing off of crisis from normality, removing contingency from normality, and confining that done in crisis to crisis. This dissertation examines the concept of crisis in

Is personnel resistance in deed as dysfunctional as it is assumed to be, in M&A theory?
