Genetically modified maize, can it be trusted? In a world with a constantly growing population there is a need to find a way to cultivate enough food for everyone and one of the things that might help with that is genetically modified crops. Genetic modification means that a trait has been given to a plant that it does not normally have. These traits can be resistance to a pest, disease or an her
Integrationsklausuler har sitt ursprung i den angloamerikanska rätten och är numera vanligt förekommande i svenska kommersiella avtal. Avsikten med en integrationsklausul är att göra enbart det skriftliga avtalets innehåll giltigt som underlag för avtalets innebörd. Frågan om integrationsklausulers rättsverkan i svensk avtalsrätt har inte besvarats i varken lagtext eller praxis. Emellertid har detMerger clauses originate from Anglo American law but have become a commonly used type of clause in Swedish commercial contracts. The purpose of a merger clause is to exclude all considerations apart from the written contract from the interpretation of the contract. The question of what legal effect the merger clauses have in Swedish contract law has not been answered, neither in written law nor in
Abstract Det har i ett antal internationella undersökningar framkommit att HBT- personer har sämre hälsa än heterosexuella. I den förbindelsen har syftet med denna uppsats varit att diskutera kring vilka åtgärder som är möjliga för att förändra denna ohälsa, där jag har koncentrerat mig på särlösning kontra integrationsteorier. Jag har inriktat mig på lesbiska och bisexuella kvinnor inom HBT- omr
The number of situations where both people and nature are harmed by human activities are increasing in the same pace as mankind is augmenting its control and so called 'development' of the Earth. Although previously much debated, we have passed the stage when protecting human rights and preserving the environment were seen as conflicting interests. Instead we have reached the conclusion th
Domestic violence is one of the biggest human rights violations that affect women all over the world regardless of their color, nationality, or age. This problem has reached such a degree that women appear to be more at risk of facing violence inside of the home by a husband or partner, than outside by strangers. However, the traditional view that the State cannot be held responsible for acts of v
Popular Abstract in English An algae that has lost its ability to do photosynthesis over the last million years and started to feed on human blood causes about 600.000 death every year, a number equals about 8 times Lund’s present population. This evolved algae named Plasmod- ium falciparum causes Malaria, a tropical disease mainly affecting economically weak regions in Africa. Unlike bacteria or Malaria, caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for about 600.000 death cases every year. Mainly affected are populations of subtropical countries in Africa and the largest groups of victims are children below the age of 5 years. The fast evolving drug resistances of Plasmodium against the the most pow- erful antimalarials threatens the successful containment of this
Abstract Author: Lena Källström Title: “Conversations about suffering in social work” (Translated title) Supervisor: Christina Erneling Assessor: The aim of this thesis is to investigate how social workers conceptualise, name, relate to and understand the suffering s/he encounters when meeting clients, both from the perspective of self and the other. The study investigates the view of the indiv
Allergic rhinitis is a common disease affecting millions of people worldwide. Biocare Copenhagen A/S, a Danish biotechnology company decided to screen a number of probiotic lysates, with the aim to identify suitable strains with potential anti-allergic properties, that could regulate production of cytokines and divert the immune system in a regulatory or tolerant mode. People suffering from aller
Stater ingår skatteavtal huvudsakligen i syfte att undanröja internationell juridisk dubbelbeskattning, som anses uppställa ett hinder för utvecklingen av mellanstatliga ekonomiska förbindelser. I skatteavtal förpliktigar sig stater att begränsa sina skatteanspråk till förmån för den andra statens beskattningsrätt. Avtalens begränsande effekt i kombination med skillnader i staters interna skattesyThe main reason for states to enter into tax treaties is to prevent international juridical double taxation, which is considered to have harmful effects on cross-border economic relations. In tax treaties, states oblige themselves through international law not to raise taxes with respect to taxing rights given to the other state under the treaty. A well-known problem is that taxpayers can exploit

A packaging company is currently evaluating their production and searching for development opportunities to make the production more effective. At the facility for packaging materials there is a production line with two machine-groups consisting of two printers and one laminator. In the present situation the two machine-groups are disconnected from each other by the use of an inventory. The purp
This thesis investigates the role of interior design elements, especially artwork, in way-searchers’ wayfinding and orientation in hospital environments. The thesis considers the way-searcher’s background and the impact of cultural belonging, occupation, memories, aesthetic preferences, and language, and the influence that such factors might have on the perception of the hospital environment and i
BACKGROUND: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2017 (GBD 2017) includes a comprehensive assessment of incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) for 354 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1990 to 2017. Previous GBD studies have shown how the decline of mortality rates from 1990 to 2016 has led to an increase in life expectancy, an ageing gl
Objective: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Early disease processes, such as amyloid-β aggregation measured with quantitative PET, may help to explain the phenotype of SCD. The aim of this study was to investigate whether quantitative amyloid-β load is associated with both self- and informant-reported cognitive complaints and mem
Background: Patients with squamous cell skin cancer (SCC) have an excellent prognosis but second primary cancers (SPCs) weaken survival prospects. Family history is a known risk factor for cancer but whether it is a risk factor for SPC in patients with SCC is not known. Objectives: To quantify the risk of family history on SPCs in patients with SCC and estimate survival probabilities of patients w
Small birds are hot creatures with an average body temperature of 40° Centigrade, and so must burn energy at a formidable rate to stay warm. This becomes quite the challenge in winter when birds are 40-50 degrees warmer than outside for extended periods, even in comparatively mild regions such as Scotland. Thus, the little bird in winter must spend most of the day either feeding or searching for f
Electricité de France (EDF) operates a large fleet of nuclear reactors and is responsible for demonstrating the safety of facilities, including concrete containment buildings (CCB), which are non-replaceable components. The leak-tightness of CCBs is assessed every 10 years during integrated leak-rate tests (IRLT). For double-wall containments, which have no metallic liners, the leak-tightness is s
Women are at increased risk of complications after Cesarean section (CS) postpartum and in subsequent pregnancy and delivery. The overall aim of the thesis was to evaluate complications after CS, outline options for their management and to assess strategies to increase the rate of vaginal deliveries after CS (VBAC).Paper I was a prospective study where women were offered to have an additional appo
This doctoral thesis explores the effects of carbohydrate(CHO)-restricted diets on symptoms and disease-related variables in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Aims were to examine the effects of (I) the moderately-low CHO Okinawan-based Nordic diet on anthropometry and metabolism and microbiota-related, inflammatory, and cognitive parameters in T2DM, and (II)
AbstractIn this study visual representations of the concept of pressure in five physics textbooks for lower secondary school have been analysed in terms of how they communicate the concept of pressure, and also how these representations work together to explain what pressure is. Examples of visual representations are fonts, photographs, sketches, tables or mathematic formulas. The analysis will an
