ABSTRACT Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder disease that mostly affects individuals over the age of 50 all over the world. It is caused by the loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Overexpression or mutation of α-synuclein have been identified as the direct cause of cell loss and dominant inherited PD, although the mechanism i

Skiljeförfarande är en alternativ tvistlösningsform i förhållande till tvistemålsprocessen i allmän domstol. Det är ett statligt sanktionerat alternativ i och med att vissa speciella rättsverkningar är knutna till skiljeavtal. Först och främst har skiljeavtal verkan av rättegångshinder efter invändning av part. En part har också möjligheten att framtvinga fullgörelse av skiljeavtalet och det finnsArbitration is a form of ADR, which is sanctioned by the legal system. Entering into an arbitration agreement is given three special legal effects. Firstly, the arbitration agreement functions as a procedural impediment after a plea of inadmissibility from a party. Secondly, a party can force performance under the agreement and there are rules that aim to prevent obstruction of the procedure. Last

Uppsatsen undersöker vilket skydd en konsument har som anser sig blivit utsatt för vårdslös finansiell rådgivning. Genom att undersöka vilka rekvisit som skall vara uppfyllda för att lagen skall vara tillämplig och vilka aktsamhetskrav en rådgivare skall iaktta återges en bild av gällande rätt avseende finansiell rådgivning. Vidare redogörs för de påföljder som kan inträffa ifall en rådgivare inte

BIOGEOGRAPHICAL DIVERSITY OF PLANT ASSOCIATED BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES ARCTIC TUNDRA Global warming is predicted to affect the Polar Regions most rapidly due to glacial retreat, snow cover reduction, melting of ice sheets and thawing of permafrost soils. Increase in temperature will further influence the native species to shift northerly by invasive pressure of species well adapted to warm temperat

Popular science summary: Effects of xenobiotics on the harbor seal’s immune system Naturally synthesized toxins and also synthetic substances have both been suspected to cause mass mortality events in marine mammals. Top-predators at the end of the food chain, like harbor seals (Phoca vitulina), accumulate particularly high concentrations of contaminants. Certain substances have been proven to h

Forskning om gester har visat att gester inte bara är ett slumpmässigt bihang till tal, utan också omfattar en rad viktiga funktioner som koordineras med talet. Om och hur gestanvändning påverkas av språkstörning är mindre klarlagt och det finns bara några få studier kring ämnet. Syftet med denna studie är att jämföra gesters funktion i narrativer hos barn med språkstörning respektive barn med typ

Syftet med studien är att undersöka tidigare beskrivna skillnader i psykisk ohälsa mellan barn med ADHD och kontroller samt hur denna ohälsa samvarierar med begåvning och kärnsymtom på ADHD. Relevant litteratur presenteras ur både ett internationellt och ett nationellt perspektiv. I studien ingår barn som utretts för ADHD inom barn och ungdomspsykiatrin (n=64) och barn från tre skånska skolklasserThe study aims to investigate the previously described differences in mental health among children with ADHD and controls and how mental health correlates with intelligence and core symptoms of ADHD.

This project investigates if access to a solar powered calculator improves numeracy and who benefits the most from the use of a calculator. A randomized field study was carried out in two different high schools in Palawan, a province in the Philippines. All participating students took two identical mathematics tests based on mental arithmetic, the first at the initial stage and the second seven we

Glulam is almost exclusively the chosen material of timber frame structures. Of those, three-hinged (three-pin) portal frames are incomparably the most common type. Being both statically determinate and stable against horizontal forces in its own plane offer both practical (basic constructive details) and economical benefits. The design of the haunch allows for various solutions: it can be curved

Ett viktigt moment vid tillverkning av kartongmaterial till livsmedels-förpackningar är laminatorn. I laminatorn täcks råpappersmaterialet av smält polymer i det så kallade nypet. Nypet i sin tur består av en stor kylvals och en mindre gummiklädd nypvals. Genom att styra kraften som verkar på nypvalsen kan kontakttrycket i nypet regleras. Vinkelhastigheten med vilken nypvalsen roterar är stor och

The purpose of this study was to investigate how private and public actors in the institutional care of children and young people’s homes (HVB) market them self on the internet. In 1982 the new Swedish Social Law made it possible for private providers to establish the institution for institutional care of children and young people (HVB).

Syftet med denna uppsats är att belysa problematiken kring tillämpningen av instituten ansvarsgenombrott respektive verksamhetsutövare i koncernförhållanden. Genom en studie av rättskällorna har jag fastställt rättsläget vad gäller de båda instituten. Tillsammans med avgörandet i MÖD 2013:28 har jag sedan tagit reda på vilka möjligheter det finns att göra moderbolaget ansvarigt för dotterbolagets The purpose of this essay is to illustrate the difficulties in applying the concepts of “piercing the corporate veil” (ansvarsgenombrott) and “operator” (verksamhetsutövare) in corporate group relationships. By studying the sources of law I have determined what is current law regarding the two institutes. Combining the outcome of this study with the judgement in case MÖD 2013:28 I have tried to es
