Den mest kännetecknande aspekten av avtalsrätten är dess långtgående avtalsfrihet, vilken möjliggör att kommersiella avtal kan influeras av hur avtal konstrueras inom andra rättssystem. I avtalsrätten syns denna utveckling tydligt i och med förekomsten av boilerplate klausuler i kommersiella avtal. En av dessa klausuler är integrationsklausulen. Den vedertagna uppfattningen om innebörden av en iThe most characteristic aspect of Contract Law is its far-reaching freedom of contract, which makes it possible for commercial agreements to have an influence on how contracts are construed within other legal systems. In Contract Law this development is apparent with the use of boilerplate clauses in commercial agreements. One of these clauses is the integration clause. The recognized understandi

This thesis contains two studies focusing on motivation in learning and teaching French as a foreign language in Sweden. In the first study, the effect of three specifically designed pedagogical activities on learners’ Ideal French Self (IFrS) and Intended Effort (IE) was examined in a group of 15-year-old Swedish pupils. No significant difference could be found between the two intervention classe

A semi-empirical power law-based theory has been developed to model the crystallization kinetics in precipitating systems for CO2 capture. A more reliable activity-based theory and simplified concentration-based crystallization kinetics have also been derived for a gas-liquid-solid system in which CO2 evolution might be unavoidable during the experiments performed to determine crystallization kine

Estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PgR) were measured in the same laboratory in more than 4000 breast cancer biopsy samples obtained from 15 different hospitals during ten years. ER was measured with isoelectric focusing and PgR with the dextran-coated charcoal method and Scatchard analysis. The distribution pattern for both ER and PgR was during this time period and for the different hospi

Purpose: Using service-based logic as its theoretical lens, this study aims to approach residents’ place satisfaction in a novel way. The purpose is to explore residents’ perception of the place in which they live and to shed new light on their place satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach: The paper is based on explorative qualitative focus group research. Data were collected in two typical mun

Acute hemorrhage is a leading cause of death in trauma, and women are more susceptible to hypovolemic circulatory stress than men. The mechanisms underlying the susceptibility are not clear, however. The aim of the present study was to examine the compensatory mechanisms to defend central blood volume during experimental hypovolemia in women and men. Twenty-two women (23.1 +/- 0.4 yr) and 16 men (

In the present study the time-course of DNA fragmentation following insulin-induced hypoglycemia was examined. In situ localization of DNA breaks were studied by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated biotin- deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labelling method, and the temporal profile of DNA-fragmentation by agarose gel electrophoresis. Cell nuclei displayed terminal deoxynucleotidyl

Small closely-coupled post injections of fuel in diesel engines are known to reduce engine-out soot emissions, but the relative roles of various underlying in-cylinder mechanisms have not been established. Furthermore, the efficacy of soot reduction is not universal, and depends in unclear ways on operating conditions and injection schedule, among other factors. Consequently, designing engine hard

OBJECTIVE: To test a simplified blood pressure device called Rastreometro that could be used by the Health Agents.METHODS: The Rastreometro has been developed from an ordinary aneroid sphygmomanometer, in which the numeric display is covered by an adhesive with a red zone, indicating pressures equal or above 140 mmHg and a yellow zone indicating pressures below 140 mmHg. The onset of oscillations

Leaves are valuable, but very rare, remains in archaeological contexts, as they can provide precise information on the landscape vegetation composition, the past climatic conditions and the use of plant resources in a settlement. La Draga (Spain) is an early Neolithic site partially waterlogged, which has allowed the preservation of organic material. During the excavation of the oldest level (7300

Fundamental characteristics of the reaction-zone structure for CH4-CO2 jets, mimicking a fuel of high CO2 contents such as biogas, burning in a heated coflow on a piloted jet burner have been investigated. Jet flames under diffusion and MILD combustion conditions were studied using planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) of O-atom radicals and CO for different CO2 contents of the fuel jet. Numeri

OBJECTIVE: The primary aim of this study was to confirm the internal consistency and factor structure of the Swedish version of the Swanson-Nolan-Pelham scale fourth edition (SNAP-IV) for parents and to examine its clinical utility for identifying children diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).MATERIALS AND METHODS: Parents of 11-year-old children from a birth cohort in th

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: This study aimed to develop a prediction model for identifying individuals at high absolute risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) for endoscopic screening at a curable stage based on readily identifiable risk factors.METHODS: This was a nationwide Swedish population-based, case-control study, including 167 new cases of ESCC and 820 randomly selected control partici

In the present study, copper surfaces were deposited with Cu-Zinc nanoparticles of 0.6 mg by an electrophoretic deposition method (EPD). Two deposition patterns were designed, i.e., fully deposition (EPD-F) and channel-pattern deposition (EPD-C). In the channel-pattern deposition, the smooth channel and the deposition channel occur alternatively, by keeping the width of the smooth channel as 3 mm,

With the development of new radiopharmaceutical therapies, quantitative SPECT/CT has progressively emerged as a crucial tool for dosimetry. One major obstacle of SPECT is its poor resolution, which results in blurring of the activity distribution. Especially for small objects, this so-called partial-volume effect limits the accuracy of activity quantification. Numerous methods for partial-volume c

Key performance indexes (KPIs) in various forms have always been used in one way or another in the production and processing of raw materials. The need for KPIs was accentuated with the advent of industrialism in the western world. The way and strategy of manufacturing industrial products has been divided into several so-called developmental transformations. Primarily after the depression of the 1

Arterial stiffness (AS) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are common in the older population. AS results in increased pulsatile pressure, elevated pulse pressure (PP), and is linked to hypertension. PP is a surrogate for AS. The kidney has low vascular resistance mechanisms, presumably making it vulnerable to the increased pulsatile pressure and hypertension associated with AS. The aims of this stu

The molecular self-diffusion coefficients were accessed, for the first time, in solutions of microcrystalline cellulose, dissolved in 30 wt% and 55 wt% aqueous tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, TBAH (aq), and in mixtures of 40 wt% TBAH (aq) with an organic co-solvent, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), through pulsed field gradient stimulated echo NMR measurements. A two-state model was applied to estimate α (

The response of clouds to the changes in climate is uncertain, and the representation of the cloud-climate feedback is a key challenge in the global circulation models (GCM) for future climate projections. Factors contributing to this uncertainty include processes that involve particles of various sizes and phases, as well as the interactions between these particles and the surrounding atmosphere.
