Proponents of prosecution of terror suspects in federal civilian courts assert that the co

Popular science summary: How do bacteria divide? Cell division is an absolute requirement for proliferation of all bacteria and results in the bacterium being split into two by a septum. FtsZ is a protein that plays a key role in bacterial cell division. In this project, one part of the FtsZ protein was investigated with genetic methods to understand how it affects the division process. Previou

Bakgrund: Det är möjligt för företag att minska sin miljöpåverkan och reducera sina kostnader genom att ta hänsyn till returlogistik i alla delar av sin verksamhet. När det handlar om den fysiska distributionen i försörjningskedjan, så handlar returlogistik främst om att återanvända lastbärare som används för transport av gods. Dynapac Compaction Equipment AB är ett företag som använder sig av retBackground: Companies can lower their environmental impact and reduce their costs by considering reverse logistics in their operations. In the area of physical distribution, reverse logistics is concerned with the reusage of load carriers used for the transportation of goods. Dynapac Compaction Equipment AB, is a company which uses returnable load carriers (racks), for the transport of large and h

Abstract Ketoprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, and ibuprofen are four widelyused anti-inflammatory drugsthat areproduced in several kilotons each year.They end up in natural water recipients which couldvary inpH from around 6.0 to 9.0. Bearing in mind that most of thesepharmaceuticals are weak acids and therefore dissociates in different degree depending on surroundingpH and the chemical’s pKa, we ca

The purpose of this research is to determine how social media influencers drive the pre-purchase phase of the consumer’s decision-making process and how these drivers differ in regard to hedonic and utilitarian products.

There are many actors included in the humanitarian system, such as NGOs, UN humanitarian agencies and governments. However, a gap in the humanitarian system can be identified where the traditional actors lack resources, which provides an opportunity for the private sector to be more involved, particularly in preparing for humanitarian operations. Therefore, in this research, a multiple-case study

Brottet folkmord kallas i folkmun för "brottets brott", vilket tyder på dess allvar och dess status som en jus cogens-norm i internationell rätt. Den nuvarande rättsliga definitionen av folkmord omfattar dock endast fysiska och biologiska handlingar, till skillnad från den ursprungliga definitionen som betonade innebörden av kulturellt folkmord. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka om

Det direkta och omedelbara koppling testet, även det indirekta koppling testet i moms av EU ingår inte i momsdirektivet. Medlemsstaterna använder sig av avdragsrätten på olika sätt, vilket förvärrar problemet. Av denna anledning görs i denna avhandling sex punkter för att identifiera det direkta testets skyldigheter.

Additionally, Member State transposition is not a harmonised process. This leads to divergences in how different EU Member States grant the right of deduction. As a solution to this, the Court of Justice of the European Union allows Member Sta

Introduction: Para sport has during the last decades increased and one of the largest sports during the Paralympic Winter Games is Para Alpine Skiing. Injuries are common among both Alpine skiers with and without disability and to be able to develop preventive measures there is a need to further understand the epidemiology behind injuries in Para Alpine Skiing. Aim: The overall aim of this thesis

This thesis examines the impact of secular stagnation and increasing debt levels on real long-term interest rates by estimating a SVAR model for the US, UK, and Sweden between 1902 and 2020. The results of this thesis emphasize the impact of slow productivity growth in the decline of real long-term rates since the mid-1980s, with the evidence being quite strong for the US and UK, and somewhat weak

Do we build better buildings with today’s requirements? This work concerns a comparative study between a political investment in apartment buildings for families with many children [Barnrikehus] from the 1930s and 1940s and newly produced apartment buildings with a focus on daylight and energy performance. The study employs various methods, including the comparative method, literature search, arc

The performance of six custom-built Hygrocopicity-Tandem Differential Mobility Analyser (H-TDMA) systems was investigated in the frame of an international calibration and intercomparison workshop held in Leipzig, February 2006. The goal of the workshop was to harmonise H-TDMA measurements and develop recommendations for atmospheric measurements and their data evaluation. The H-TDMA systems were co
