Samer är Sveriges ursprungsbefolkning och har därför vissa rättigheter knutna till detta, bland annat har de rätt till land och vatten för att kunna upprätthålla och utveckla sina traditioner och sin kultur, en del av detta är renskötseln, som kan innebära säsongsbundna flyttningar med renar ner till kustlandet. Rättigheterna grundas i att renskötsel bedrivits över lång tid och även om det int

The primary aim of this thesis is to understand the structure of fashion week in contemporary Stockholm. Does it have a hierarchical or democratic structure? Which participants does the fashion week in Stockholm aim itself to and for what reasons? This encourages further questions concerning the institution of a fashion week and what impact it has for the individuals working in the field. To sum u

Recently, uropathogenic Escherichia coli were shown to express a virulence factor that specifically inhibits Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. The TIR-domain protein C (TcpC), has high homology with the TIR (Toll Interleukin Receptor) domains of innate immune signaling molecules such as TLR4, TRIF, TRAM and MyD88. By binding to these domains, TcpC prevents TIR homodimerization and inhibits innat

Norra Djurgårdsstaden är ett stadsutvecklingsområde i nordöstra Stockholm och har delvis marksanerats ned till grundvattennivån. De föroreningar som förekommit är polycykliska aromater, cyanider, tungmetaller och BTEX. 2003 inleddes en omfattande markundersökning varpå man hittade höga halter bensen i ett av grundvattenrören. Undersökningen följdes upp med ett in-situ försök att avlägsna föroreninNorra Djurgårdsstaden is an urban area in northeastern Stockholm and has been soil remediated down to the water table. The contamination in the area includes polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), cyanide, heavy metals and BTEX. In 2003 an extensive environmental assessment initiated after which they found high levels of benzene in one of the groundwater monitoring wells. The benzene contaminatio

Inom företagsgrupper kan möjlighet till en gränsöverskridande resultatutjämning mellan bolagen utgöra en väsentlig fördel. Resultatutjämningsregler kan dock skilja sig åt mellan olika länder eftersom dessa regler inte är harmoniserade av EU-lagstiftning. De enskilda EU-länderna använder sig härvid av specifika begrepp för att benämna koncerners särskilda skattestatus. Det är nämligen bara en koncWithin groups of companies can the possibility to neutralize the result between companies constitute a significant advantage. Group relief systems may differ between countries because the rules are not harmonized by EU-legislation. The individual EU countries use here specific terms to denote groups' special tax status. It is only a group that meets certain conditions that can get the special

Denna uppsats analyserar och jämför legal reglering av motorfordons ansvar vid uppkommen skada i Sverige och Norge, med fokus på rekvisiten ”skada i följd av trafik” i Sverige respektive skade som motorvogn gjer i Norge. Dessa rekvisit är de som definierar omfånget av fordons ansvar vid uppkommen skada och därmed de skador som ska ersättas av fordonets trafikförsäkring. Uppsatsen visar att syftThis essay analyzes and compares the legal regulation of motor liability insurance in Sweden and Norway with emphasis on the primary legal requirements for the Laws to apply, namely “skada till följd av trafik” (damage as a result of motor vehicle traffic) in Sweden and “skade som motorvogn gjer” (damage caused by motor vehicle) in Norway. These are the primary requirements that define the scope

Idag delar man mycket information med varandra och ibland behöver vi se till att rätt sorts information delas. Tänk om man t. ex råkar skicka sitt personnummer istället för telefonnummer till någon? Detta examensarbetet handlar om att utveckla ett enkelt verktyg som bekräftar att information som delas är rätt formad. Eftersom det blir viktigare att vara säker på att information som delas är formaToday sharing data is done everywhere. Doctors might want to share patient journal information. Patient journals may contain sensitive information that doctors do not want to share. The journals needs to be checked before they are shared. In this thesis, data and journals are coded in XML and checking journals and data is the same as validating XML. Validating XML documents is usually done by foll

The aim of this thesis has been to investigate the legal conditions and process for triggering Credit Default Swaps, which are derivative instruments to shift credit risk exposure between parties in an underlying financial instrument. The condition is called credit event and a case study has been done on the Greek credit event in 2012. The thesis shows that there is a clear and robust framework o

Landskapsformen drumlin har länge diskuterats inom akademin och den här studen syftar till att sprida lite ljus över dom. Genom att kartlägga två drumlinområden runt sjön Åsnen i Småland, södra Sverige har deras utsträckning kartlagts med en precision som länge ansetts omöjligt. Detta gjordes genom att använda hög upplösta hillshade modeller framtagna från LiDAR data för att efter att ha analyseraThe landform group called drumlins has since long been enigmatic; this study aims to shed some light on them. By mapping their extent in two areas around Lake Åsnen, Småland, southern Sweden, their extent and prop-erties have been mapped with a level of detail that would have been next to impossible just a few years ago. The method used in this study utilized LiDAR derived high resolution hillshad

Background There is a widespread consensus that aid alone will not be able to solve the development challenges facing Africa, with Kenya being no exception. The challenges are simply too great. One potential way to facilitate growth while also making it more inclusive is to use impact investing. Impact investing could be defined as investments made with the intention of yielding a financial return

Background Companies producing premium products with high quality and long product life can experience challenges when trying to penetrate price-sensitive customer segments on emerging markets due to a high product price. One way to achieve growth in these segments is to introduce new innovative business models. From the theory of circular economy, a concept combining sustainable and economi

This thesis investigates two ways of incorporating GPUs in Modelica. The first by automatically generating GPU code for Modelica functions, and the second by using GPU accelerated external code for a contact handling package. Automatic parallelization of functions is desired, as it can potentially accelerate large simulations significantly. Special patterns of nested for-loops in Modelica code are

Uppsatsen beskriver utmattningssyndrom och arbetsplatsåtergång såsom det upplevs av individen då tidigare forskning saknar ett individperspektiv. Studiens frågeställningar handlar om hur arbetsplatsåtergång upplevs samt vilka faktorer som fungerar bra respektive mindre bra och utifrån den informationen argumenteras för hur det är möjligt att utveckla arbetsplatsåtergången för alla inblandade. StudThe aim of this research is to describe the individual’s experience of exhaustion disorder (burn-out) and return to work. Previous research have shown a lack of perspective on the individual. The research questions are about how return to work is experienced and perceived and the factors that have seemed to work well and less well. From that information a discussion about how to develop the return

Magnetomotoriskt ultraljud är en ny bildgivande teknik som kombinerar vanligt ultraljud med ett pålagt tidsvarierande magnetfält för att åstadkomma en detekterbar rörelse i vävnad. Genom att injicera magnetiska nanopartiklar i området man vill undersöka kan på så sätt viktig information tillgodogöras. Superparamagnetiska järnoxidpartiklar har i drygt ett årtionde varit ett godkänt kontrastmedel fMagnetomotive ultrasound imaging is an imaging technique that utilizes regular ultrasound in combination with an applied time varying magnetic field to induce motion of magnetic nanoparticles injected in the region. This motion can be detected and give valuable information about the particle laden region. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been approved for over a decade for use with

It’s difficult to establish the correct definition of what constitutes rape and sexual consent, especially since the definitions are different depending on the source. The different guises of rape are many and will be established as a part of the essay. The differences between how adolescents and the judiciary interpret sexual consent, sex and rape will also be stated. Sexual violence is a major p

Renewable energy is gaining increasing importance in the generation of power due to the finite existence of fossil fuels and concerns about climate change. As its demand grows financial interest from investors’ increases, thus it is important to find the most effective way of quantifying the risk of the renewable energy market. Furthermore as renewable energy can be viewed as an economic substitut

The complement system can be activated by three different pathways in the body. It is wanted to be able to detect deficiencies of these activation pathways and Bioporto A/S has acquired the commercial rights to a set of ELISA based assays. There is a need in these commercial assays for optimisation of dilution and wash buffers since the idea with the ELISA kit is to sell it as a “ready-to-use kit”

Mot bakgrund av rådande kunskapsparadigm inom barnpsykiatrin samt förändringar i samhällets syn på barns psykiska hälsa avsåg studien att undersöka föräldrars syn på orsaker till ADHD och om denna kunde kopplas till behandlingsönskemål. Avsikten var att utröna om det fanns ett behov av behandlingsinsatser som adresserade mer än barnets ADHD-problematik. Studien genomfördes som en enkätstudie (N = Given the paradigms which are currently predominant in child and adolescent psychiatry and the changes in the societal view of children’s psychological health, this study examined parental attitudes towards the causes of ADHD and if these were related to choices of treatment. The aim of the study was to determine whether there was a need for treatment which addressed more than just the ADHD sympto
