Den insulinlika tillväxtfaktorn II (IGF II) är ett proteinhormon som reglerar cellers proliferation, tillväxt, migration, differentiering och överlevnad. Den utövar sin biologiska funktion via IGF I-receptorn. Dess tillgänglighet för bindning till IGF-1R regleras av en familj bestående av sex IGF-bindarproteiner (IGFBPs). IGF II kan också inducera mitos via en alternativt splitsad variant av insulinreceptorn (insulin receptor isoform A (IR-A)). De cirkulerande nivåerna av IGF II kontrolleras genom IGF II-receptorn, som saknar signalfunktion och är homolog med mannos-6- fosfatreceptorn. Tystad prägling av IGF II-genen är en återkommande observation vid en utvecklingsrubbning kallad Beckwith-Wiedemanns syndrom, vilket innefattar okontrollerad tillväxt och i många fall en njurtumör hos barn, Wilms? tumör. Tillväxthämning ses vid mutationer i genlocuset hos IGF II och den närliggande genen H19 vid en annan utvecklingsrubbning, Silver-Russells syndrom.

This study aims to highlight patients´ experiences about and thoughts of side effects fromelectroconvulsive therapy (ECT), a therapeutic method commonly used when having severedepressions. The framing of questions were how the respondents of this study describe theirlife before, during and after ECT-treatment, how the treatment has affected their daily life andhow these experiences may contribute to the awareness of power in professional relations.The study is based on three semi-structured narrative interviews and the main result showedthat, according to my interpretation, ECT as a treatment obliterated memories, quality of lifeand daily structure for all participants. Unfortunately they have all become subjects ofpsychiatric power and have faced considerable difficulty in getting professional recognitionaccording to their severe memory issues. The respondents have lost the ability to relate totheir past which clearly makes them struggle in their present context. A point in commonamong them is that neither of them wanted ECT but, because of the lack of communicationbetween them as patients and the health care in general, they all ended up getting it..

Organisationen X är en traditionell linjeorganisation där en av linjerna arbetar uteslutande i projektform. Detta har lett till att vissa problem har uppstått, exempelvis nya hierarkiska strukturer, ett oklart rapporteringsförfarande samt att kollisioner i produktionen har uppstått. Uppdraget med detta examensarbete var att utforma en ny organisationsmodell som på ett bättre sätt illustrerar organisationens starka projektverksamhet, då den befintliga upplevdes som ofullständig.Utifrån en teoretisk referensram som berörde organisationsstrukturella variabler samt projektvariabler utformades en analysmodell samt ett intervjuunderlag som användes vid fem personliga intervjuer.Utifrån det empiriska materialet visade det sig att den organisationsmodell som Organisationen X tidigare hade innan denna uppsats genomfördes, redan i hög grad illustrerade organisationens mer organiska och decentraliserade karaktär. Vi valde av den anledningen att utveckla den redan befintliga modellen, men på ett bättre sätt visa Organisationen X starka projektverksamhet som på ett tvärfunktionellt sätt berör organisationens fyra linjer..

Biodiversity consists of all life on Earth and in all forms. Biodiversity is often discussed at three levels: ecosystem, species and genetic variation within species. Biodiversity also provides many of the ecosystem services performed by nature and that we depend on, including cultural services such as aesthetic values, education and recreation. In Sweden the environmental objectives are central; there are 16 environmental quality objectives, and "A rich plant and animal life" is one of them. Conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity is a prerequisite for achieving also most other environmental objectives. Another environmental quality objective that is tied to a rich biodiversity in cities and biodiversity is "Good built environment" where cities, towns and other built environment should provide a good living habitat and contribute to a good environment.

The aim of this thesis is to clarify the affect that preferential and regional trade agreements have on the World Trade Organization (WTO), as being establisher of the international trading regime. The essay is an explanatory literature study, which strives to answer the following questions:Are regional and preferential trade agreements a threat or a complement to the WTO?Is an undermining of the MFN principle weakening the WTO?How do regional trade agreements made by the EU affect the future of the WTO?The empirical material is to be analyzed using an explanatory framework, which is based on neo-liberal instutionalism, theories on regime changes and a game theoretical approach, using prisoner?s dilemma. I will employ the EU-ACP relation, the Cotonou agreement to exemplify how an agreement of this kind can have an influence on multilateral trade. The result shows that preferential agreements do have an impact on the WTO, one that is fairly negative in scope.
