More and more findings have been published showing that sedentary behavior is causing health hazards that can be independent of the effects from physical activity. Even if you go to the gym every day you might still suffer health effects from your otherwise sedentary life. Sicknesses as obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and back pain are strongly related to the sedentary lifestyle. To instead

The HST proposal aims to solve the cross-border loss relief issue by offering the Home State group the possibility to offset its tax losses against its taxable profits. The political arena within the Community has not proven capable of solving and creating a harmonized tax system. The Home State Taxation proposal can, therefore, prove to be the necessary compromise to solve the cross-border loss r
When a ground surface is subjected to a load an increased level of stress will occur in the soil underneath. As soil material has a limited permeability, an increased stress will initially result in an excess pore water pressure. However, as time passes the water will flow and the pore water pressure will even out. The relation between the total stress, the excess pore water pressure and the effec
I artikel 1F flyktingkonventionen stadgas ett antal av de så kallade uteslutandeklausulerna från flyktingstatus, vilka utgör undantag från möjligheten att åtnjuta internationellt skydd för personer som uppfyller rekvisiten i flyktingdefinitionen. Artikeln utesluter asylsökande som misstänks för vissa grova brott, såsom krigsförbrytelser och brott mot mänskligheten, om det finns synnerligen anledniArticle 1F in the Refugee Convention constitutes one of the so called exclusions clauses from the possibility to be recognized as a refugee and hence obtain international protection. The Article excludes asylum seekers who are suspected for serious crimes, such as war crimes and crimes against humanity, if there are serious reasons for considering that the person has committed the alleged crime. T
En viktig typ av bevisning i brottmål utgörs av de förhör som hålls med olika personer vid huvudförhandlingen. Personer som inte är parter i målet hörs som vittnen. En lagstiftning som behandlar bevis i form av vittnen kan inte undgå att beakta värdet av att detta bevis är oerhört växlande. Detta med hänsyn till den större eller mindre förmågan hos ett vittne att vilja avge en sann och fullständigAn important type of evidence in criminal cases consists of the interrogations held with different people at a main hearing. People who are not parties to the case are heard as witnesses. Legislation dealing with evidence in the form of witnesses cannot fail to take into account that these evidence are extremely variable. This with regard to the greater or lesser ability of a witness to give a tru
Den gamla konsumentköplagen har kritiserats av hästnäringen eftersom den har ansetts vara mycket hämmande för näringsidkares möjligheter att sälja hästar till privatpersoner. Detta eftersom en häst enligt lagen är en lös sak, och i den tidigare konsumentköplagen särskilde lagstiftaren inte levande djur från övriga varor. Vilket innebar att näringsidkarna fick en oskäligt tung bevisbörda om en konsThe old consumer sales act has been criticized by the horse industry for restricting traders in their possibilities of selling horses to consumers. The reason for this has been that horses in the eyes of the law are considered chattels, which means that the same rules applied to both horses and refrigerators. In the old law there was an assumption that any faults that occurred within the first six
2016 tillsatte regeringen en utredning för att undersöka regleringen av den villkorliga frigivningen. Utredningen fick i uppdrag att undersöka om det finns skäl att föregå ett beslut om uppskjuten villkorlig frigivning med en riskbedömning av huruvida det finns risk för klienter i kriminalvårdsanstalt att återfalla i brott vid frigivningen. Utredningen kom fram till att det strider mot kravet på rIn 2016, the government commissioned an investigation to consider possible changes in the regulation of the conditional release. The investigation was commissioned to investigate whether there is a reason to precede a decision on a deferred conditional release with a risk assessment of whether there is a risk for clients in prison to re-offend when released. The investigation found that allowing p
The aim was to study implementation and efficacy of two intervention techniques for risky alcohol consumption in university students. One technique was the Responsible Beverage Service Programme modified for use in students pubs. The other was a cognitive-based education programme (10 hours) for freshman students with risky alcohol consumption that was compared with a mailed personalised drinking
This dissertation focuses on the medieval nobility and its manors in the inland of Småland. The problems tackled in the dissertation may be divided into two major complexes. One concerns the emergence and growth of the Småland nobility in a long-term perspective, the second concerns the spatial conditions in which the nobles established their manors in the landscape. An important question concerns
In 2000 the European Council agreed on the so called ‘Lisbon Strategy’, the purpose of which is to make the European Union the strongest and most competitive economy in the world and also to fight unemployment and secure social welfare systems. One year later, in 2001, an ‘environmental dimension’ was supplemented to the Lisbon Strategy at the Council meeting in Gothenburg. An ‘EU Strategy for Sus
Popular Abstract in Swedish Resenärernas värderingar av kvalitet i lokal kollektivtrafik – hur man kan mäta dem, hur de varierar och hur man kan använda dem i planeringen Syftet med arbetet har varit att ta fram ett mer detaljerat underlag för planering av lokal kollektivtrafik. Med mer kunskap om hur olika grupper av resenärer värderar olika delar av en kollektivtrafikresa kan kollektivtrafiknätThe aim of this work was to get a more detailed basis for planning of local public transport. With more knowledge of how segments of travellers assess different parts of a journey, bus routes can be planned to fit either all passengers or selected groups better. It will also be possible to evaluate perceived travel utility separately for each category of passengers. Stated Preference questionnaire
Popular Abstract in Swedish Studien behandlar den sydsvenske bonadsmålaren Johannes Nilssons måleri. Denne produktive målare levde och verkade i Breareds socken i södra Halland 17571827. En analys av hans bonader visar att han i många stycken frångick sina föregångares traditionella, imiterande framställning och begränsade motivkrets. Den övergripande frågan i avhandlingen är: varför målade JohanThe aim of this dissertation is to find relationships between folk art, an artist's personal life and influential factors originating in the context. Christmas wall hangings by the peasant painter Johannes Nilsson (17571827) are the focus of the study. The fact that he had a special approach to the painting tradition raises two questions: Why did he paint the way he did? How can his hangings be i
We have evaluated capacitive and thermal transducers for recognition of bio- molecular interactions with different analytes. These assays were made in flow analysis systems because of the simplicity such methods provide. A capacitive transducer, based on a surface modified gold electrode, has the ability to monitor affinity based interactions directly, provided that the interactions introduce mea
Popular Abstract in Swedish De senaste årens framsteg inom bioteknologin har medfört att det utvecklas allt fler proteinbaserade läkemedel. Detta innebär att vi har fått bättre mediciner mot allvarliga sjukdomar, men tyvärr måste proteiner nästan alltid tas med spruta, och ofta krävs långa behandlingar med dagliga injektioner. Det finns även andra grupper av läkemedelssubstanser som ökar i omfattnControlled-release formulations reduce the frequency of injections and better maintain plasma concentrations within the therapeutic window. Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) is currently the most frequently used biodegradable polymer for this application. In order to be able to control the release rate, it is vital to know the underlying release mechanisms. A novel method for measuring the diff
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kväveoxid (NO) är en viktig fysiologisk och patologisk mediator och dess relaxerande effekt på blodkärl upptäcktes i slutet av 1980-talet. Idag vet man att NO ingår i flera olika fysiologiska funktioner såsom blodtrycksreglering, nervcellssignalering och immunförsvar. NO bildas med hjälp av enzymet käveoxidsyntas (NOS). Det finns tre olika former av NOS med olika funktiInducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression is associated with various pathophysiological conditions in the lower urinary tract. The aims of this thesis have been to investigate the regulation of iNOS in bladder smooth muscle cells and the consequences on neuromuscular regulation, cell growth and differentiation. Primary cultures of rat bladder smooth muscle cells (BSMC) expressed iNOS mRNA
The number of electrically driven loads in a modern vehicle is constantly increasing. Many loads that former were mechanically driven will in the future be driven by electricity. This implies that a number of electronic systems have to be packed together in the limited space in a vehicle. When different electronic systems are placed close to each other, there is always a risk for electromagnetic i
Popular Abstract in Swedish Förhållandet mellan utrikespolitik och demokrati har behandlats inom statsvetenskapen i hundratals år. En vanlig uppfattning har varit att behandlingen av utrikespolitiska frågor svårligen kan ske i demokratiska former. Inom utrikespolitiken har riksdagen traditionellt en svagare ställning gentemot regeringen än i inrikespolitiska frågor. I fokus för denna avhandling sThe increasing internationalization puts new demands on national democracy and national parliamentarism. The questions posed in this dissertation are if the parliamentary model for domestic policy or the parliamentary model for foreign policy is the most relevant when describing the role of the Swedish Riksdag (parliament) in European Union (EU) matters, and whether there have been any changes dur
This study investigates the use of cleft constructions in English and Swedish on the basis of a bidirectional translation corpus consisting of original English and Swedish texts and their translations into the other language. This design minimizes the problems inherent in corpora of original texts alone, viz. that no pair of texts is perfectly matched for content, as well as translation corpora, v
Popular Abstract in Swedish Jesaja 40-55 representerar en av Gamla testamentets höjdpunkter. Här ackumuleras bilderna av Gud som Israels konung, herde, fader, moder, skapare och försörjare. Det är en befriande, nyskapande och mäktig Gud som tilltalar ett modlöst, förtvivlat och krossat Israel. Dessa kapitel domineras av budskapet om tröst och räddning till den grad att bibelforskningen sammanfattaThe theology of Isaiah 40-55 has two seemingly contradictory aspects: the tension between the consolatory message of deliverance, and the harsh tone of accusation. In this part of the Book of Isaiah, YHWH's return to his people is demonstrated through the accumulation of declarations about YHWH's ability and his will to deliver the Israelites from the exile. At the same time, the Israelites are ex
