In this context, this thesis offers a social semiotic analysis of the debut film Otobüs (The Bus, 1974) by
Conventional photovoltaic solar tracking is commonly done by aligning the surface normal of a PV module with the direction from which direct solar irradiation is coming from. While this tracking design has proven to perform well in sunny climates, solar tracking is altogether less common in northern climates where the direct solar irradiance is weaker. In this study a radiative transfer model is u

Moderate exercise is deemed beneficial for cognition due to increase in dopamine concentrations in the basal ganglia.

Uppsatsen tar avstamp i tre avtalsrättsliga principer: avtalsbundenheten, avtalsfriheten och skyddsprincipen.

Vem som skyddas av denna princip varierar från situaThe essay begins with a short presentation of three basic principles of contract law: the sanctity of contract, the freedom of contract and the principle of protection. Whereas the principles of sanctity and freedom of contract are definitely fundamental to contract law, situations sometimes occur that require deviation from these principles – for the protection of a weaker party for example.
