Energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometry is not adequate for the determination of some potentially hazardous trace elements, such as Cd, Cu, Ni and Pb at low concentration in PM2.5 atmospheric aerosol particles. Therefore, a method has been developed for the determination of these elements in atmospheric aerosol particles using high-resolution continuum source graphite furnace ato

Popular Abstract in Swedish Del I - "The Shift Operator on Spaces of Vector-valued Analytic Functions" består av tre artiklar som alla handlar om en viss sorts operatorer i Cowen-Douglas klassen med spektrum på enhetsskivan D, eller om man så vill, om operatorn Mz (multiplikation med z) på Hilbert rum H av vektorvärda analytiska funktioner på D. Den första artikeln, "On the Cowen-Douglas class forThis thesis consists of six articles on three different subjects in the area of complex analysis, operator theory and harmonic analysis. Part I - "The Shift Operator on Spaces of Vector-valued Analytic Functions" consists of three closely connected articles that investigate certain operators in the Cowen-Douglas class with spectrum D - the unit disc, or equivalently, the shift operator M_z

By combining data from the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register and Swedish census registers we have calculated the past age-specific incidence of primary knee arthroplasties and predicted the demand. During the last 20 years, osteoarthrosis has accounted for the largest increase in number of knee arthroplasties while operations for rheumatoid arthritis remained constant. The mean yearly number of o

Abstract in Italian La prostituzione non è mai stata oggetto di penalizzazione nel diritto svedese. Tuttavis, l'acquisto di prestazioni sessuali è sanzionato penalmente. È quindi il cliente che commette un reato, mentre la prostituta non è punita come concorrente. La disciplina non fa differenze di genere e rende punibile anche il tentativo. La pena massima per tale reato è (dal 2011) di un anno d

Objective: Men who have sex with men (MSM) in sub-Saharan Africa remain hidden and hard to reach for involvement in HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) services. The aim of the current study was to describe MSM social networks in a large and a small Tanzanian city in order to explore their utility for peer-based healthcare interventions. Methods: Data were collected through respondent-dri

With the forces of globalization, previously safe home markets open up to foreign competition. This urges companies to expand internationally to keep growing. Current literature on how a company should enter a foreign market, namely the choice of entry mode, is based on findings for manufacturing firms and studies on service firms are scarce. In recent years, the service sector has grown steadily

På grund av svåra metodologiska och praktiska svårigheter domineras forskning om bolagsstyrning i allmänhet och styrelseeffektivitet i synnerhet av relativt ytliga modeller. Så kallade black boxstudier är mycket vanliga, och kontrasteras mest av rent konceptuella modeller utan kvantitativa amibitioner. Den här uppsatsen kikar in i den svarta lådan och utforskar den interpersonella kontexten i styrDue to severe methodological and practical difficulties, research on corporate governance in general and board performance in particular is dominated by relatively shallow models. So called black box studies are very common, and are contrasted mainly by conceptual models without any quantitative ambitions. This paper peeks into the black box, exploring the interpersonal context within the board ro

Denna uppsats syftar till att fastställa hur införandet av Enhetliga Patent och den Europeiska- och EU-patentdomstolen kommer att påverka läkemedelsindustrins val av patentansökningsförfarande när de ansöker om patent i Europa i framtiden. För att fastställa de förväntade effekterna av Enhetliga Patent på branschen har intervjuer med ett urval personer inom forskning- och utvecklingsföretag och enThis thesis aims to establish how the introduction of the Unitary Patent and the European and European Union Patent Court will affect the pharmaceutical industry’s choice of patent application route when applying for patents in Europe in the future. To establish the expected effect of the Unitary Patent on the industry interviews with a selection of professionals in the research and development in

Lag(1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade trädde i kraft den första januari 1994 som en rättighetslag. Syftet var att människor med funktionsnedsättning skulle få ökad livskvalitet. Genom lagen ville samhället skapa en möjlighet för de som får insatser ”att leva ett liv som andra”. Lagen var planerad som en del av en helhet, där handikappolitikens generella och individuella deLag (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade, which is an Act of individual rights, came into effect in January 1994. Its purpose was to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities and to create opportunities for people with disabilities to enable to live a life like any other. The Act was intended to be a part of a whole in which the general and individual parts of

Building interaction prototypes for ubiquitous computing is inherently difficult, since it involves a number of different devices and systems. Prototyping is an important step in developing and evaluating interaction concepts. The ideal prototyping methodology should offer high fidelity at a relatively low cost. This thesis describes the development of interaction concepts for controlling consume

The Swiss foreign policy offers a deviant case. Most countries that were neutral during the Cold War have during the last decades become more cooperative, while Switzerland on the other hand still contains a rather stable foreign policy. Because traditional theories in International Politics offer no concrete explanation to this puzzle, I have been oriented towards decision-making theories in dome

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the in-store customer experience from a millennial consumers’ perspective. Specifically, the authors of this thesis intend to carry-out a comprehensive study that addresses how these customer experiences are manifested within the different retail stores in Sweden. Methodology: The researchers considered the philosophies of epistemology and ontology

In this study, the quantitative relationship between the three dimensions of transformative capacity – cognitive, structural and agency – and the climate change performance of countries is examined. To do this, indexes are created and panel data regressions conducted. The result indicates a significant negative relationship between the cognitive and diversity dimension index and climate change per
