The decision is unique in Swedish library history and resulted in an intense debate that took place on several forums. This master’s thesis concerns the contemporary debate on privatization of public libraries. The aim is to analyse the debate in the light of
Refusal to license is one of the main areas of tension between IPRs and Article 102 TFEU, dealing with the problematic but important question of whether it is an abuse for a dominant undertaking to refuse to allow others to use its protected rights. The European Courts have, in a number of cases, decided that the refusal to supply/license may amount to an abuse of a dominant position. The last cas
Patienter med misstänkt hjärtinfarkt genomgår ofta hjärtscintigrafi för att undersöka den regionala förändringen av blodets passage genom hjärtmuskeln. Orsaken till de sjukliga förändringarna kan antingen vara ischemi (nedsatt blodflöde pga förkalkningar i blodkärl) eller infarkt (celldöd i muskulaturen). För att utföra en hjärtscintigrafiundersökning används ett radioaktivt läkemedel (99Tcm-Sesta"The purpose of this study was to evaluate the benefit of commercial quantification software in perfusion SPECT imaging by simulating a group of patients and their corresponding SPECT acquisitions using a computer phantom and a Monte Carlo program. Based on decisions from experienced physicians and their visual interpretation of the simulated patient images, without and with addition of the i
Hälsodata har stor betydelse för forskning om sjukdomar och behandlingsmetoder. Ett sätt att genomföra forskningen är att samla in hälsodata direkt för det specifika forskningsändamålet. Ett annat sätt är att återanvända hälsodata som redan har samlats in för andra ändamål för det aktuella forskningsändamålet. De två centrala regelverken som reglerar när och hur hälsodata får användas inom forskniHealth data is of great importance for research on diseases and treatment methods. One way to conduct the research is to collect health data directly for the specific research purpose. Another way is to reuse health data that has already been collected for other purposes for the current research purpose. The two central regulations that regulate when and how health data may be used in research are
An experimental study was performed, aimed at finding a way to produce single crystalline powder of pure (Fe0.7Co0.3)2B with a particle size of 100-200nm. This was done with the ultimate goal of producing a hard magnetic ferrite powder for powder metallurgical production of permanent magnets. For this study, eight different compositions of iron, cobalt and boron were atomized using atomization by

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av tre uppsatser som behandlar empiriska tillämpningar av makroekonomiska teorier. Uppsatserna är fristående från varandra, men knyts samman genom att kointegrationsanalys används i de empiriska analyserna. Kointegrationsanalys är en statistisk metod som syftar till att hitta långsiktiga samband mellan olika variabler i ett empiriskt datamaterial. EfThis thesis focuses on empirical applications and tests of macroeconomic theories. It consists of three fairly distinct essays, bound together by the common theme of the use of cointegration analysis in the empirical macroeconomic analysis. The first chapter is an introductory chapter, while chapter two, three and four contain the three essays. The first essay, Wage Formation and the Relation bet
Abstract Failures in achieving the 2010 goals of slowing down or halting the loss of biodiversity, and the setting of new biodiversity targets set for 2020, stress an urgent need to expand current reserve networks and to improve their effectiveness in protecting species and habitats. Habitat suitability models, and derived maps from them, are among the broadest used tools for identifying the ecol
Project has different basis that must be completed to be able to present a finished product. Knowledge of the area and how the projection works will be used in efforts to implement the empirical study. Design assumptions are divided into two groups where some items are specific to a particular product while others are general conditions in all projects. The goal is to identify the conditions and a
The state of Akwa Ibom, Nigeria is known as one of the wetlands rich in biodiversity as well as oil and gas reserves. Its wetland ecosystem is noted for its primary support it has provided for the people living in this area. However, this wetland has also been a reservoir for Nigeria’s crude oil contributing a prominent share of petroleum product to the country’s GDP, total revenue to the governme
En konkurs kan frammana mindre lämpliga ageranden hos både borgenär och gäldenär. En gäldenär kan för egen, eller närståendes, vinning tänkas söka undandra tillgångar från bolaget innan dess konkurs. En borgenär å sin sida kan i oron för att lida stora förluster vidta betalningspåtryckningar mot gäldenären. Detta leder till att denne borgenär gynnas i förhållande till resterande borgenärer. Att moA bankruptcy may evoke less appropriate acts from both the debtor and the creditors. A debtor may try to favour himself, or a relative, by transferring assets out of the company before the company’s bankruptcy. A creditor on the other hand may, due to his concern to suffer great financial losses, put pressure on the debtor about payment of his debts, which puts the creditor in a better position th
One of infiltration ponds used in the preliminary step for drinking water production at Vombverket in the southern part of Sweden was set for the experiment in this study. The pond was split into two sides as one side received the source water from Vomb Lake and (untreated side). For another side, the water from the same source was pre-treated by DynaSand filter and PAC before transferred into the
Arable land is a valuable natural resource. In Iceland the total size of potential arable land has not been determined but preliminary estimates vary from 420 ha to 15000 ha. These have been based on different definitions of potential arable land and assumptions for minimum continuous land area. In 2010 the Farmers Association of Iceland concluded that there was a need for a standard for evaluatin
Popular Abstract in Swedish Livet uppe på en pelare År 423 e.Kr. klättrade en man som närmade sig fyrtioårsåldern upp på en pelare, för att leva resten av sitt liv på dess topp; det skulle bli nästan fyrtio år till på knappt tjugo meters höjd. Han hette Symeon och skulle redan i sin samtid bli världsberömd för sin märkliga livsstil, som den första styliten, eller pelarhelgonet.

This collection of saints’ stories tells about the lives of a number of ascetics who lived in the Eastern part of the Roman Empire, many of them close to Antioch. As these n
Beurling's theorem characterizes the forward shift invariant subspaces in the Hardy space $H^2$ on the open unit disk $\bold D$. The description is in terms of an inner function, that is, a function in $H^2$ whose nontangential boundary values have modulus $1$ almost everywhere. If $S$ stands for the forward shift $Sf(z)=zf(z)$, then the adjoint $L=S^*$ is the backward shift, $Lf(z)=\break (f(z)-f
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
Background: Perinatal asphyxia is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. To date there are no reliable methods to detect which infants will develop brain damage after asphyxia insult. We investigated whether measurements of urine levels of S100B in asphyxiated full-term newborns maybe a useful tool for early detection of post-asphyxia brain damage. Methods: A prospective study of 38 infants wit
The levels of heavy metals in surface water and their potential origin (natural and anthropogenic) were respectively determined and analysed for the Obuasi mining area in Ghana. Using Hawth's tool an extension in ArcGIS 9.2 software, a total of 48 water sample points in Obuasi and its environs were randomly selected for study. The magnitude of As, Cu, Mn, Fe, Pb, Hg, Zn and Cd in surface water fro
