In some postmodern philosophy and theology, the view of God has returned to the centre of the discussion. God is seen as a living reality beyond human conception. Some of the contemporary philosophers even relate to the negative or apofatic theology. They often do this as a contrast to the positive theology. The view of God in postmodern theology and philosophy is beyond our rational knowledge. Th

Energipålar är grundläggningspålar kombinerade med kollektorslangar som används som vertikala markvärmeväxlare. De har sedan 1980-talet använts i Centraleuropa, och används även frekvent i England. I Sverige har energipålar ännu inte slagit igenom, men de större byggföretagen börjar nu intressera sig för denna typ av grundläggning. En fördel med energipålar jämfört med konventionella bergvärmebruEnergy piles are deep foundation piles combined with collector pipes. They are used as vertical ground heat exchangers, and have been used since the 1980s in Central Europe and frequently in England. Energy piles have not yet had its breakthrough in Sweden, but right now the bigger construction companies have turned their eyes to this type of deep foundation. One advantage with energy piles, when

Frågan om hur carried interest ska beskattas har länge varit föremål för både en debatt inom skatteområdet och upprepade prövningar i domstol. Grunden i denna problematik är huruvida den asymmetriska vinstutdelning som uppkommer i riskkapitalfonder, det vill säga carried interest, ska ses som en inkomst av investeringar och därmed beskattas enligt 3:12-reglerna, eller om den i stället ska betraktaThe question of how carried interest should be taxed has long been the subject of both debate within the tax field and repeated court proceedings. The core of this issue is whether the asymmetric profit distribution that arises in private equity fund, carried interest, should be regarded as an income from capital gains and thus be taxed under the rules for close companies, or whether it should ins

This paper explores an innovation case within a “smart” Swedish mid-sized city that works extensively with digitalization.Over a long period in time, city populations and city tourism have increased, while more urgentchallenges connected to sustainability have emerged along with health-related problems. In parallel the already established and ongoing digitalization of society was fortified in the

The Complement system is a main effector mechanism of the innate immune system, acting to enhance clearance of pathogens, but also aids removal of biological debris from the body, including immunocomplexes, apoptotic/necrotic cells and protein aggregates. Complement regulators serve to prevent excessive inflammation and their interaction with the same materials targeted by the complement system re

Sweden’s investment level has recently been the subject of keen debate. One fact that is often brought up is the fall in Swedish investment as a proportion of GDP (investment ratio) and that the current level of Swedish investment is below that of other countries. In the long run, low investment can weaken a country’s potential for growth. Although Swedish investment is comparatively low, Sweden i

X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is a congenital progressive inherited retinal disease that affects the entire retina and is one of the more common causes of vision loss from retinal degeneration affecting young men,. The progression is variable but seems to be relatively stationary in the ages 6 to 25 years. Patients with XLRS lack a functional retinoschisin protein in the eye, because of mutation i

This master thesis analyzes the accounting and auditing reforms in the Post-Soviet world. It is the very interesting issue, because comparing with the rest of Europe and Asia the former soviet countries have extra challenges in this process. They are not only trying to adopt international accounting and auditing standards, but also move away from command economy which is not an easy task. The regu

Parallel import in the European Union is the perfectly legal activity under Art. 28-30 EC of buying goods in a low-price country in order to ship and sell them in a high-price country. The pharmaceutical market in Europe is subject to the subsidiartiy principle of Art. 5 EC and heavily characterised by national regulations that lead to significant price differentials between – generally speaking –

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.

Hence, opportunities arise for the technical consultants to take on a larger

Den i april 2010 genomförda lagändringen avseende en minskning av aktiebolagslagens krav för hur mycket aktiekapital som krävs för att starta uppe ett privat aktiebolag aktualiserar en stor mängd frågeställningar. Detta då aktiekapitalet historiskt sett har varit ett av lagstiftarens medel för att förhindra att aktieägarna till ett aktiebolag, med ett begränsat personligt betalningsansvar för deläThe legislative amendment to the Swedish Companies Act whereby the requirements for the amount of issued capital needed in order to start up a private limited company (Sw;Aktiebolag) was reduced, brings forth a wide range of different problems.

Stimulation of innovation is a hot topic around the world. The developed economies are nowadays significantly dependent on innovation for further growth. One central source of innovation is universities and their ability to turn new knowledge into value-adding innovations. One of these technology transfer measures is through the creation of university spinoffs (USOs). High-tech startups, however,

Sammanfattning Det civilrättsliga förbudet mot etnisk diskriminering i arbetslivet som har funnits sedan 1994 har resulterat i få fällande domar och har i tidigare forskning beskrivits som ineffektivt. Jag har i denna uppsats jämfört tillämpningen av diskrimineringsförbudet i arbetslivet med andra områden för att undersöka om det finns faktorer som påverkar effektiviteten inom arbetslivsområdet. Summary In 1994, Sweden passed a law prohibiting discrimination in work life on the basis of ethnicity. This Discrimination Act has led to few convictions and has been described by scholars as inefficient. This thesis analyses the courts’ enforcement of the prohibition of discrimination in working life compared to its enforcement in other areas of society. Critical Race Theory is used to problem

Jura novit curia utgör en av grundbultarna inom den svenska processrätten. Principen innebär att domaren ansvarar för rättstillämpningen och att utrymmet för parterna att påverka denna är mycket begränsat. Endast genom några få partsdispositioner kan parterna utöva inflytande över vilka rättsregler som domstolen applicerar i ett specifikt fall. Kontradiktionsprincipen i artikel 6.1 EKMR stadgar atIura novit curia is one of the fundamental principles in Swedish procedural code. The principle means that the judge is responsible for the application of law and that the possibility for the parties to influence the process is very limited. Only through a few procedural acts can parties influence which legal rules the court applies in a specific case. The principle of an adversarial procedure in

Popular science summary You are what you eat In this project I used a method called stable isotope analysis. This method is based on the principle ‘you are what you eat.' To begin whith, isotopes are forms of the same element sharing the same number of electrons but differ from each other in its number of neutrons in the nucleus. For example, stable isotope of 13carbon has one extra neutron

ABSTRACT Calcareous sandy grasslands are among the most threatened habitats in Europe, primarily because of abandonment, acidification, eutrophication and fragmentation. Much of the biodiversity found in calcareous sandy grasslands depend on the availability of calcareous sand in the topsoil layer. As this sand is naturally depleted of CaCO3 heavy disturbances such as erosion or use of military

For the past fifteen years, ever since the Court of Justice’s ruling in its landmark case Bosman, the sporting rules governing player mobility have been a hot topic. The ruling prohibited transfer fees for players out-of-contract thus putting an end to the restrictive transfer system hindering the free movement of football players. The Court also abolished the nationality restriction where clubs w
