Acute renal failure (ARF) on the basis of acute tubular necrosis (ATN) was defined in the early days of the 20 th century by the German pathologist Hackstadt. His observations were based on the clinical evaluation of soldiers who sustained severe traumatic injury. However its significance was more or less neglected until the second world war, when Bywaters des- cribed the crush injury syndrome in victims of the London Blitz (1). Initially the underlying morphological changes in this kind of renal failure was thought to be related to distal tu- bular injury due to pigment toxicity and the term lower nephron nephrosis was introduced for this clinical condition (2). Later classic micro dissection studies in kidneys of rats showed that the dominant side of injury in ATN was the straight segment of the proximal tubules (S3 segment, pars recta) (3).

Agreement and Group Attraction in Face-to-Face and Computer-Mediated Group DiscussionsThesis • October 18th, 2016
With the advent of computer technology, it is becoming more common for us to receive messages in our personal computer from an unidentifiable source. This condition, where the sender of the message is not identifiable is defined as anonymity (Marx, 1999). According to Marx (1999), anonymity is fundamentally social, involving "an audience of at least one person" (p. 100). The issue of anonymity is exceptionally privileged in Computer-mediated communication (CMC). This is because CMC has the capacity to facilitate anonymity by creating a state where the sources of messages can withhold their personal information such as name, gender, age, race, height, or status.

This thesis addresses the research question of to what extent international law provides a normative framework for the management of the Spratly Islands area preceding delimitation. For this purpose, the preceding chapters have analysed four sub- questions, which relate to the existing legal regulatory frameworks and their potential for providing an adequate normative framework for the disputant States on their coexistence and cooperation in the Spratly Islands area, especially concerning the following four aspects: (1) addressing the underlying territorial dispute, (2) identifying the disputed marine areas, (3) regulating unilateral conduct, and (4) promoting cooperation in resource and pollution management in respect of the Spratly Islands area. This chapter answers the research question and the four sub-questions (sections 8.1-8.4). It then looks into the future management of the Spratly Islands area on the basis of this research (section 8.5) and reflects on the functions and limit

Mergers and Acquisitions Between Western Companies and Chinese State-owned EnterprisesThesis • June 19th, 2012
This research investigates acquisition activities carried out between Western companies and Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs), focusing on the influences of acquisitions on identity, culture and commitment of the target SOE employees. The managerial factors that influence the acquisition integration are investigated and their relationships with the post-acquisition performances of the target SOEs are explored. There are three research questions: How do acquisitions influence the identity, culture and commitment of the target SOE employees? What are the factors that determine an employee’s post-acquisition identification? What are the relationships between acquisition management and post-acquisition performance? Case studies are adopted as the main research methodology in order to provide an in-depth answer to these research questions. Statistical analysis is used in order to provide clear evidence of the factors influencing post-acquisition identification and the effect of acquisi
AGREEMENT ATTRACTION IN TURKISHThesis • April 6th, 2023
This procedure also allows us to decide how much we want to integrate from previous literature, which is made possible by the use of priors. In addition to our hypotheses, we can inform our model and calculations about previous behavioral data. For example, response times typically have a positive skew with a long tail following the central mass, as stated in Lee and Vanpaemel (2018) and Luce (1991). Specifying this tendency in a model would deem some response time values less likely, and thus would diminish the effect of an outlier data point in our model. This also entails that not all experimental data are equal, and their contributions are equal.
Summary & General DiTcuTTionThesis • July 19th, 2023
This thesis describes the contribution of environmental and host genetic factors, respectively, and characteristics of the pathogen as interactive determinants of (acquisition of) typhoid and paratyphoid fever. In the words of the epidemiologist J.R. Paul (Clinical Epidemiology, i966) who, paraphrasing Matthias i3:3-8, designated the cause of infectious diseases to the triad ´the seed, the soil and the climate', herein 2atmonetta typki and 2atmonetta paratypki being “the seed”, and the host and its environment “the soil” and “the climate”, respectively, with the three together determining the ability of microbial pathogens to flourish in the population. 2. typki and 2. paratypki cause a severe systemic disease that may take weeks to recover and as such are special pathogens within the 2atmonettae that generally cause a self-limiting gastro-enteritis, or bacteremia and/or focal infection striking immuno- compromized individuals in particular. Moreover, 2. typki is unique in being strict

ASEAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT –Thesis • February 20th, 2012
The thesis focuses on the reasons and motivations to initiate ASEAN – Free Trade Area Agreements in the context of the global tendency of economic regionalization through examining Vietnam’s economy from its process of building and applying mutually-recognized agreements. The current issue is all ASEAN economies are negotiating bilateral economic agreements by their own, at the same time with taking ASEAN approach with other economic powers in the world. However, the realization of the ASEAN Free Trade Area has not lessened the importance of ASEAN’s economic partners. ASEAN’s countries have promoted economic linkages through ASEAN-plus FTA toward integrating the ASEAN region with global economy. In this thesis, I want to examine Vietnams’ earlier regional integration in AFTA by dividing into 2 parts. Firstly, the thesis presents an overview of ASEAN FTAs from Vietnam’s perspective. From that point of view, the aim of the thesis is to answer a big question on how important it is for Vie
THE TRIPS AGREEMENT AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE R&D SPENDING OF US-OWNED MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIESThesis • August 30th, 2006
The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) has revolutionized the way international intellectual property rights are defined and enforced. The biggest changes have been for developing countries that were required to adopt stringent US style intellectual property protection in return for membership in the World Trade Organization and the increased access to international markets associated with WTO membership. Many critics of the TRIPS regime argue that the new intellectual property protections are unduly burdensome to developing countries and that their costs far outweigh their benefits. On the other hand, TRIPS proponents contend that a high global level of intellectual property protection benefits developing countries by encouraging innovation and technology transfer, as well as attracting foreign direct investment. In this thesis, I test whether the strict intellectual property protection regulations required by the TRIPS agreement benefit develop

This thesis is focused on the role and interaction of different cholesterol and phospholipid transporters. Cholesterol homeostasis is accomplished via a tightly regulated balance between the intake of dietary cholesterol and de novo cholesterol synthesis. A disruption in the cholesterol homeostasis can result in changed plasma cholesterol levels and a modulated risk for the development of cardiovascular disease. Plasma cholesterol levels are the consequence of the complex interaction of gene expression in the liver and peripheral tissues, such as macrophages in the vascular wall.

HEAD IMPACT AGREEMENT ON VIDEO REVIEW DIFFERS ACROSS RATER EXPERIENCE IN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALLThesis • December 13th, 2023
Context: Previous studies have used multiple raters for video-based reviews as a means for quantifying head impacts. However, few studies have reported on the rater's experience level and the potential influence it may have on the reliability of such video-verification methods. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess level of agreement between two categories of raters for a video verification method of head impacts during football games. Setting: Two high school varsity football games. Participants: Eight defensive players. Main outcome measures: The definition for a video- observed head impact an obvious helmet-to-helmet, helmet-to-body, or helmet-to-playing surface impact. The video scoring consisted of four trained research personnel who reviewed a single, previously recorded game from two camera views (50-yard line and endzone). Raters participated in standardized training using separate video footage to agree on an observed head impact and to familiarize themselves with
