Feel overwhelmed but realise the need to understand what's going on? Academic analytical frameworks can help.European countries, and Denmark in particular, are scrambling to respond to threats from US officials over the future of Greenland.Having successfully taken out the leadership of Venezuela in a raid on January 3, an emboldened US government is talking about simply taking Greenland for itsel
Galactoglucomannan (GGM) has been identified as a valuable resource and can be used in fields such as oxygen barrier films, food coatings or hydrogels. This hemicellulose can be extracted from softwood using steam explosion (STEX) under mild conditions. However, the GGM-solution also contains impurities such as lignin, lignin-carbohydrate complexes, organic acids, and salts, which require further
Background: Chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection causes increased morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF). This study aimed to answer the following questions: Does the prevalence of chronic infection with PA differ between the CF centres in Scandinavia? Which differences exist concerning segregation and treatment of PA? Methods: 989 patients (86%) from all eight CF-centres in Scan
The kinetics and mechanism for the overall reaction (i) (X = Cl or Br) have been studied at 25.0 °C using stopped-flow spectrophotometry. 3[AuX4]–+ 7SCN–+ 4H2O → 3[Au(SCN)2]–+ HSO4–+ HCN + 12X–+ 6H+ (i), The reaction takes place in two kinetically well separated steps. The initial, rapid process can be identified as stepwise ligand substitutions (ii) (n= 0–3) which take place via direct ligand disThe kinetics and mechanism for the overall reaction (i) (X = Cl or Br) have been studied at 25.0 °C using stopped-flow spectrophotometry. 3[AuX4]–+ 7SCN–+ 4H2O → 3[Au(SCN)2]–+ HSO4–+ HCN + 12X–+ 6H+ (i) The reaction takes place in two kinetically well separated steps.

BACKGROUND: Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is an extrahepatic protein that is dependent on glutamate carboxylation, a vitamin K-dependent process. Its dysfunctional form, desphospho-uncarboxylated-MGP, has been associated with increased arterial calcification and stiffness. The aim of this study was to measure the degree of postoperative carboxylation of MGP and two other Gla proteins in patients schedu
One of the major issues in the pharmaceutical industry today is the cost of development and validation of the production of the active pharmaceutical ingredients. The development, optimization and validation of a production plant have been dominated by an extensive experimental approach. The large amount of experimental work and reluctance for changing existing processes has caused the pharmaceut
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur gällande svensk rätt reglerar felaktiga uppsägningar som baseras på arbetsbrist utifrån det rättsläge som primärt praxis har lett fram till. Arbetet behandlar ämnet fingerad arbetsbrist och frågeställningen som diskuteras är om dagens praxis som berör fingerad arbetsbrist skyddar arbetstagare tillräckligt mycket. Fingerad arbetsbrist föreligger när en arThis report aims to investigate how current Swedish legislation regulates inaccurate dismissals based on labor shortage from the judicial position that has emerged from case law. The topic of fictitious labor shortage is addressed and the question discussed is if today’s case law concerning fictitious labor shortage is sufficient protection for the employee. Fictitious labor shortage exists when a
Purpose: The aim of this paper is to find out how the PMM system can be used to remain resilient to a change in the environment and so continue to provide appropriate guidance to managers in real time. Methodology: The paper is based on a qualitative research method with primarily an abductive approach to derive insight about a PMM system’s use to remain resilient to a change in the environment.
Detta examensarbete utfördes på företaget Devex Mekatronik i Lund som under arbetets gång köptes upp av företaget Etteplan. Målet med det här examensarbetet var att vidareutveckla och förbättra ett låssystem till ett medicinskåp med tillhörande databas. Devex Mekatronik hade påbörjat en egen lösning på problemet men ville utveckla ett fullständigt system som fungerade på det sätt de hade tänkt sig
In a digital age where travellers are increasingly looking for the cheapest, fastest or most sustainable way to travel, comparing different modes of transport efficiently becomes a challenge. The internet offers a wide range of websites and travel providers, fragmenting information and forcing travellers to navigate inefficiently between different platforms and websites.

Sammanfattning Inom konkursrätt kan vara av intresse för ett konkursbo att låta viss egendom utgå ur konkursboet i syfte att ge så god utdelning som möjligt till borgenärerna. Till exempel i de fall att egendomen är befäst med olika utgifter som kan bidra till att konkursboet får en minskad nettovinst. Genom NJA 2004 s. 777 har abandonering ansetts vara tillåtet i svensk rätt och det har sedan desSummary In swedish bankruptcy law, it may be in the interest of a bankruptcy estate have certain property in the bankruptcy assets removed to provide the best possible gain for the creditors. For instance, in certain cases the property may be secured with various expenses that may contribute to the bankruptcy estate receiving a reduced net profit. Through the legal precedent NJA 2004 s. 777, aband
Sedan Sveriges etikprövningslag började gälla år 2004 har kritiken mot den varit omfattande. På senare år har debatten kring lagen varit extra intensiv, och kritiken kommer framför allt från forskare inom samhällsvetenskap, rättsvetenskap och humaniora. Kritiken mot lagen och Sveriges etikprövningssystem går i första hand ut på att etikprövningslagen försvårar vissa typer av forskning till den graThe Swedish Act (2003:460) concerning the ethical review of research involving humans (“Ethical Review Act”) has been widely criticized since its introduction. In the latest years the debate has been intensive, with critique from researchers in social studies, law and humanities. The critique is primarily implying that the Swedish Ethical Review Act aggravate certain types of research to that exte
BACKGROUND: Cancer has consequences not only for the sick person but also for those who have a close relationship with that person. Greater knowledge about how family members manage the situation in the period immediately following the diagnosis means greater opportunity to provide the best possible support for the family. The purpose of this study was to explore management strategies that family
Cloud computing has become one of the fastest growing segments of the IT industry. In the wake of this success, cloud based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have emerged as an alternative to the traditional ERPs for companies to plan and manage their resources. These systems require low upfront investments and can rapidly be deployed, as they and their underlying infrastructure are provi
Det kan vara problematiskt att hålla förhör och åberopa förhör med barn som bevittnat våld i nära relation. När barnet inte uppnått en viss ålder och mognad så att barnets medgivande till förhör är tillräckligt, ska barnet enligt föräldrabalkens bestämmelser företrädas av, vanligtvis, vårdnadshavaren. Åldersgränsen för när barn uppnått en tillräcklig ålder och mognad så att denne själv kan ta till, can be problematic. When the child doesn´t reach a certain age and maturity so the child's consent to interrogation is sufficient, the child will under föräldrabalkens provisions represented by, usually, the guardian. The age limit for when the children reached a sufficient age and maturity, so they can take advantage of their right appears as a general rule be fifteen years. If the child wi
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning. Katalyskammare för aktivitetsmätning med laser. Katalysatorer är oumbärliga i såväl livsprocesser som industriella tillämpningar. Bilismen är ett exempel där katalysatorer används vid såväl bränsletillverkning som avgasrening. Med hänsyn till miljön måste mycket ständigt förbättras, också katalytiska processer. I mitt examensarbete har jag karakteriserat en ny Industrial catalysts are very complex systems, often produced of nanoparticles dispersed in a so-called support material to maximize the surface area and minimize the cost. These catalysts are very difficult to study in surface science. Therefore industrial catalysts have been developed in a trial-and-error approach, with the loss of the fundamental understanding of the reactions. In surface scien
The future of EU lies in the SEE or to rephrase, the future of the SEE lies in the EU. This is considered to be the case as the SEE countries that are not yet EU-members have been promised future membership and are therefore considered the next potential EU members. As this scenario lies in the future of an EU expansion an interest of what lies in the past of these two regions rises. This interest
En familj har traditionellt sett bestått av en moder, en fader och ett antal barn. Det innebär att lagstiftningen inom familjerätten är utformad för att passa dessa omständigheter. Lagstiftarna har arbetat utifrån antagandet att de familjer som skulle påverkas av deras lagstiftning skulle vara av den traditionella sorten och att deras lagstiftning därför skulle vara fullt tillräcklig. Det har sagTraditionally families have been made up of a mother, a father and any number of children. This means that the legislation in this area has been made to fit those circumstances. The legislators have worked under the assumption that the families affected by their policies would be of the traditional kind and therefore their policies would be sufficient. It has been said that the legislation in a
