The current conjecture towards Nordic fertility rates brings the focus on the state of advancement of the second demographic transition (SDT) in the region. Nordic countries’ SDT developments have been unique as they have not experienced the same low fertility as other countries. Yet, since 2010, Iceland lost nearly a quarter of its fertility and reached an all-time low total fertility rate (TFR)

One’s ability to lead and manage should not be dictated solely by one’s education but rather their experiences and personal background. If this is the case, then little attention should be paid to whether one comes from a business-related background or not, and more attention should be paid to the skills and characteristics of the individual. This study investigates how the humanities are represen

Human Resources (HR) play a significant role in contributing to the implementation of innovation through recruitment, which enables innovation through an individual level. Therefore, HR can be seen as a gatekeeper for innovation. Research on HR-practices and innovation has increased over the last decades. However, prior research puts little emphasis on what role HR plays in the recruitment of inno

Worldwide, 1.7 billion individuals lack access to formal financial services. Yet, one billion of the financially excluded individuals have a mobile phone. Mobile money services take great benefit of this and are found a success in enabling financial inclusion on the African continent. However, there is no research on whether mobile money services have penetrated financially excluded individuals in

Skåne undersöker möjligheten att använda sitt avloppsvatten i jordbruket Tillgången på vatten blir mer och mer ett problem i takt med att klimatförändringarna accelererar. Samtidigt ökar trycket på en effektiv livsmedelsproduktion för att mätta en växande global befolkning. Ett effektivt sätt att hushålla med det livsavgörande vattnet är att återanvända avloppsvatten i jordbruket. Men vad innehålWater scarcity is becoming more and more of a global challenge due to, among other things, climate change and global population growth. Seventy percent of freshwater resources globally are used for agricultural purposes and new strategies are needed to meet the increasing water demand. The use of wastewater for agricultural irrigation is an efficient way to save freshwater. In 2015, 48 million cu

In recent years, digital fabrication has become powerful tool for architects to process and implement design and construction. However, in some countries, architects lack sufficient support to achieve their intentions in digital fabrication. Since it needs high degree of cooperation with customized production, but from some precedents, we architects are investigating possible ways to combine digit

Better signal strength is required to provide a good signal service to the UE. For this, different methods and techniques are available, one of them is codebook type II precoding. This method has a potential to provide an amount of energy to the user in the required direction more precisely than Codebook type I. Therefore this method will be put to the test, for a given SNR range, by comparing the

Under anaerobic condition the specific growth rate of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 on different sugars, was analyzed using spectrophotometry. Electron acceptor (fructose) supported cells to cope with poor energy recovery by re-oxidising the NADH, thus enabling ATP formation thru acetate production, while fermenting glucose via the phosphoketolase pathway (PKP) and simultaneously operating via E

Det är vanligt att parter till ett licensavtal kommer överens om vilken part som ska vara ansvarig för att skydda licensobjektet mot intrång. I samband med det inför parterna ofta en klausul i licensavtalet som föreskriver begränsningar i licenstagarens rätt att föra intrångstalan. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka vad parter till ett licensavtal bör beakta vid införandet av en klausulIt is common that parties to a license agreement decide which party is to be responsible for protecting the license object from infringement. In connection to this, the parties often implement a contractual clause in the license agreement which provides restrictions on the licensee's right to bring infringement actions before court. The purpose of this thesis has been to examine what parties

Staters användning av utländsk massövervakning är idag öppet diskuterat och ofta reglerat i lag. Europeiska domstolen för de mänskliga rättigheterna (Europadomstolen) har fastställt att massövervakning utan tillräckliga säkerhetsgarantier kan innebära en kränkning av individers rätt till privatliv enligt artikel 8 Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna (EKMR). Enligt artikThe foreign mass surveillance of communications conducted by states is no longer a secret, but rather openly discussed and often regulated in law. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has established that mass surveillance without adequate safeguards can violate individuals’ right to privacy under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). According to Article 1 ECHR, indiv

Psykiskt störda lagöverträdare har sedan länge särbehandlats inom straffrätten. I Sverige aktualiseras numera särbehandlingen vid påföljdsvalet. För att påföljdsvalet överhuvudtaget ska komma på fråga krävs att gärningspersonen kan tillskrivas skuld; antingen genom uppsåt eller, vid vissa särreglerade brott, oaktsamhet. Eftersom uppsåt inte är objektivt iakttagbart är uppsåtsbedömningen vanligen eMentally disordered offenders have been specially treated in criminal law for a long time. In Sweden, the special treatment occurs when the choice of sanction is decided. The choice of sanction only becomes relevant when the perpetrator is attributed debt; either through criminal intent or, in certain regulations, negligence. Since criminal intent is not objectively observable, the intent assessme

För att FN skulle kunna bildas efter andra världskriget fanns det ett krav från de fem stormaktsländerna att de skulle få en rätt till veto i FN:s säkerhetsråd. Då behovet av en global organisation var stor efter andra världskriget gick övriga medlemmar med på att dessa fem länder skulle få en vetorätt. Vetorätten har inneburit att de fem permanenta medlemmarna i säkerhetsrådet alltid har haft mIn order to establish the UN after world war II, the then five great powers of the world required to have a veto right in the UN Security Council. The other members agreed to this as there were a fundamental need to create a global organization of this nature. The veto right has resulted in that the permanent members of the Security Council always have had the ability to vote against proposals an

In the clinic today, patients with relapsed or aggressive lymphoma are often not sampled as no reliable test for risk are available and invasive biopsies are considered to provide no or limited information of clinical use. The only way of getting biological information on the disease for these patients, is by non-invasive method, such as blood sampling. Methods that detect disease specific charact
