Varumärken är värdefulla tillgångar som kan generera stora ekonomiska vinster. Till följd av det värde färgvarumärken kan erhålla finns ett behov av att kunna registrera färgmärken för att erhålla skydd mot eventuella konkurrenter. Det står förvisso klart att abstrakta färger kan registreras och varumärkesskyddas, men registrering är inte oproblematisk och färger saknar ofta förutsättningar för atIt is now possible to register and protect abstract colours, but such registrations are not without its complications and the conditions for registration often fall short of requirements. There is an even greater uncertainty surrounding the protection that may follow from registration, which to a large extent is the result of too few precedents in the area. The purpose of this thesis is to describ

Sufficient access to financial resources is important in sustaining a business especially in the early phases. First years in business development are very critical since owners learn by doing mistakes in order to get a proof of concept of the business idea. Being aware of this fact, external financial institutions try to avoid taking part in highly risky endeavours. Although there are financial o

Title:”E-commerce, complement or threat to the traditional stores -a case study of Nilson Shoes and its competitors” University: Lund University, Campus Helsingborg, Department of Service Management.

Dagens stadsbyggnadsprojekt är komplexa och många funktioner ska trängas på en liten yta i våra städer. I ett försök att ge grönstruktur i städer större plats har flera kommuner runt om i landet börjat ställa krav kring grönytefaktor; ett sätt att mäta mängden grönska på tomter i staden. I denna studie undersöktes vilken effekt detta krav har på samhällsbyggandet och hur det fungerar i samspelet mAbstract Title: Green Area Factor in affect – How does the implementation of Green Area Factor requirements work in Sweden today?

The new Swedish Library Act, which took effect in 2014, states in paragraph 2 that libraries in the public library system shall promote the development of a democratic society by contributing to the transfer of knowledge and the free formation of opinions. In recent years several debates have surfaced in the media concerning the democratic mission by public librarians and public libraries, in rega

The purpose of this report is to evaluate the fire safety in the commercial center Gränby. The project has been carried out as a part of the student’s education. The bases for the evaluation are three fire scenarios which have strategically been placed in the commercial center. The scenarios are simulated in the fire modeling program CFAST. The results have been analyzed and implemented in the egr

The Swedish technical consultancy firms are today facing a number of exciting challenges. A majority of the firms’ larger customers have already established themselves in the international market. Simultaneously they have also begun to appreciate the need of a closer cooperation with a selected number of their suppliers. Hence, opportunities arise for the technical consultants to take on a larger

Bakgrund: Otillräcklig postoperativ smärtlindring förlänger återhämtningen och ökar opioidförskrivningen med risk för biverkningar och beroende. Medicinsk akupunktur hardärför föreslagits som ett opioid-besparande komplement. Syfte: Att undersöka om medicinsk akupunktur reducerar postoperativ opioidförbrukning hos vuxna patienter som opererats i generell anestesi, samt att värdera effekten i relaBackground: Inadequate postoperative analgesia delays recovery and increases opioid prescribing, exposing patients to adverse effects and dependency. Medical acupuncture has been proposed as an opioid-sparing adjunct. Objective: To determine whether medical acupuncture reduces postoperative opioid consumption in adults undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia and to evaluate the effect again

Gamified virtual reality (VR) environments are increasingly used to enhance engagement and learning, yet most designs still adopt a one-size-fits-all approach that overlooks motivational diversity. The HEXAD framework, which classifies users into six player types, provides a promising lens for addressing this gap, but its predictive validity in immersive VR remains contested. This study investigat

Introduction Ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury remains a major challenge in heart transplantation, with mortality risk increasing significantly when allograft ischaemic time exceeds 4 hours. Non-ischaemic heart preservation (NIHP), using continuous hypothermic perfusion, has shown promise in preliminary studies for reducing I/R injury and improving outcomes. This randomised controlled trial aims

This study featured about the synthesis of graphene oxide hydrogel-CuO@reduced graphene oxide (rGH-CuO@rGO) micromotors with core-shell structure via an ultrasonication-assisted chemical precipitation method and their application for catalytic dye degradation. The micromotors were comprehensively characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron mi

ABSTRACT Author: Mimoza Polisi Supervisor: Lina Ponnert Title: “What does a child perspective mean?” The purpose of this study is to understand and analyze the meaning of child perspective from a social worker perspective. My questions were: What does a child perspective mean for social workers? What potential opportunities are social workers experiencing to use a child perspective? What possib

Enligt grundläggande principer följer att det råder fri bevisföring och fri bevisvärdering. Därmed kan det i princip inte uppställas några legala regler för vilka bevis som får åberopas eller vilka metoder som ska eller bör tillämpas av domstolen vid bevisvärderingen. Därmed är det teoretiskt möjligt att enbart en målsägandeutsaga kan till ligga till grund för att beviskravet ska anses uppnått ochAccording to the fundamental principle of free assessment of evidence, there can be no legal constraints to which evidence that are allowed or by which methods such evidence shall be assessed by the courts. Thus, it is theoretically possible to pass sentence in a criminal case concerning rape only on the basis of the injured party´s testimony. Even so, case law indicates that it is rarely enough w

Using a ground-based and an above-canopy eddy covariance system in addition to stem respiration measurements, the annual respiratory fluxes attributable to soil, stems and foliage were determined for a Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forest growing in central Siberia. Night-time foliar respiration was estimated on the basis of the difference between fluxes measured below and above the canopy and

Telecommunications industries are investing tremendously to meet the ever-increasing demands for higher data rates and capacity. In particular to develop standardization for 5G, which is expected around 2020. The existing spectrum for traditional mobile networks is limited to highly occupied bands at microwave frequencies below 6 GHz. It is expected that 5G will use millimeter-waves to enable high

Joint diseases are often characterized by inflammatory processes that result in pathological changes in joint tissues, including cartilage degradation and release of components into the synovial fluid. The complement system plays a central role in promoting the inflammation. Because several cartilage proteins are known to interact with complement, causing either activation or inhibition of the sys

Precipitated sludge (ochre) obtained from a mine water treatment plant was considered as an adsorbent substance for pollutants, since ochre is relatively free from problematic levels of toxic elements, which could impair on the quality of water to be treated. Artificially created ochre pellets from mixing Portland cement with raw ochre sludge were utilised to remediate either high (HC) or low (LC)

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have relevant positive and negative impacts on environmental sustainability on various levels: First-order effects such as increasing electronic waste streams; second-order effects such as improved energy-efficiency of production; third-order effects such as a product-to-service shift in consumption or rebound effects in transport. In the simulation

INTRODUCTION: It is difficult to assess the individual response of locally advanced cervical cancer to chemoradiation therapy during the course of treatment. We have investigated the predictive value of positron emission tomography (PET) with 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) early during treatment in relation to progression-free survival. METHODS: This prospective single-center clinical trial
