Global land acquisitions, often dubbed 'land grabbing' are increasingly becoming drivers of land change. We use the tools of network science to describe the connectivity of the global acquisition system. We find that 126 countries participate in this form of global land trade. Importers are concentrated in the Global North, the emerging economies of Asia, and the Middle East, while exporters are c

Nearly all mammalian cells express a set of genes known as clock genes. These regulate the circadian rhythm of cellular processes by means of negative and positive autoregulatory feedback loops of transcription and translation. Recent genomewide association studies have demonstrated an association between a polymorphism near the circadian clock gene CRY2 and elevated fasting glucose. To determine

Bryophytes have until now been absent from all hypotheses regarding the origin of insect pollination of seed plants. The discovery that both springtails and mites are able to transfer sperm in mosses makes it possible to suggest a ’Bryophyte precursor hypothesis of plant pollination’ stating that animal-mediated fertilization in mosses and insect pollination in seed plants is historically linked b

Light sensors are increasingly used to monitor vegetation growing status by measuring reflectance or transmittance in multispectral or photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) bands. The measurements are then used to estimate vegetation indices or the fraction of absorbed PAR (FPAR) in a continuous and long-term manner and to serve as inputs to environmental monitoring and calibration/validation

Sammanfattning I det här examensarbetet utreds rättsläget för en arbetstagares lojalitetsplikt och yttrandefrihet i sociala medier. Facebook, Twitter och bloggar hör till de sociala medier som under de senaste åren har visat på en drastisk ökning av användare. De sociala medierna har fått stor genomslagskraft och används dagligen för att rapportera och uppdatera omgivningen om såväl privata som saSummary In this thesis, the legal situation of a worker's duty of loyalty and freedom of speech in social media will be investigated. Facebook, Twitter and blogs are examples of social media’s that have shown a dramatic increase in users during the past years. Social media has a major impact on today’s society and are used by people daily to report and update others about different thoughts an

Utvecklingen som skett i Sverige de senaste decennierna, där vi har gått från industrisamhälle till kunskapssamhälle, från hierarki till platta organisationer och från maskin till hjärna har medfört ett ökat behov av skydd för arbetsgivare. Större ansvar, närmre relation med kunder samt indirekt kontroll från ledning och styrelse har vidgat arbetstagares utrymme i arbetslivet till att bl a fatta vSweden’s business-market has change a lot during the recent decades, where the society have gone from being industrialbased to knowledgebased, where organizations has gone from hierarchy to “flat” and now we use brains instead of machines. This has led to an increasing need of protection for employers. Greater responsibility, closer customer relationships and indirect control from management has e

I den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen sker kollektiv reglering av arbetsvillkoren genom frivilliga självständiga förhandlingar mellanarbetsmarknadens parter. I denna modell utgör stridsåtgärder det yttersta maktmedlet för arbetstagareorganisationerna, varigenom dessa tillförsäkra sig inflytande över arbetsvillkoren och tillser att ett monopol på arbetskraften upprätthålls. Den svenska rättsordningeThe Swedish labor market model is distinguished by the fact that working conditions are, to a large extent, regulated through voluntary autonomous collective bargaining between management and labor. Strike action and other collective measures constitute the leverage with which the labor organizations can influence working conditions and maintain a monopoly on the supply of labor. To facilitate the

Strategic alliances can be defined as contractual co-operations between two legally independent companies operating on the same horizontal level of the market and whose purpose is to strengthen the competitiveness of the undertakings concerned through the achievement of strategic competitive advantages. Having its origin in theories of business management, the term has over the last decade become

Sammanfattning Syftet med mervärdesskatten är att skatten ska belasta försäljningen till konsumenter och på så sätt fungera som en generell konsumtionsskatt. När en beskattningsbar person köper varor och tjänster betalar han mervärdesskatt på varorna och tjänsterna. Denna mervärdesskatt kallas för ingående mervärdesskatt. Det är den ingående mervärdesskatten som är avdragsgill, förutsatt att den bVAT should work as a general consumption tax and the tax burden should fall on the final consumers. A taxable person will have to pay VAT when purchasing goods and services. This VAT is called input tax and it is the input tax that is deductible. The right to deduct is central to the forward shifting of the VAT. When ML and the VAT Directive were created there was a strong desire to ensure that th

Denna uppsats redogör för hur domstolen bedömer ett brotts straffvärde i narkotikamål. Detta innebär att domstolen ska visa den skuld gärningsmannen uppvisar genom den brottsliga gärningen och olika faktorer. I början på 1960-talet var straffet för narkotikabrott böter eller fängelse i högst två år enligt NF. När NSL antogs höjdes dock straffmaximum till tio års fängelse då man var rädd för att SvThis essay concerns the assessment of penal value in cases regarding narcotic offenses. It particularly concerns the level of guilt as shown by the court for the criminal act and associated factors. In the early 1960's the punishment for narcotic offences were fines or inprisonment for up to two years in accordance with narcoticregulation. With the adoption of the narcotic penal law the maxim

Popular science summary: Transcriptional regulation of HIF-2α in neuroblastoma Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumor in childhood. The presence of hypoxia -regions of low levels of oxygen- causes a more immature tumor phenotype that is related to a more aggressive form of this cancer. Hypoxia is mainly directed by Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α. High levels of HIF-2α expre

Hydrauliska parametrar är viktiga att kunna mäta i samband med stadsplanering, prospektering och för att få fram information om hur en möjlig föroreningstransport genom jordlager och berggrund skulle kunna ske. Slugtest är ett enkelt akvifertest som tar fram värden på formationens genomsläpplighet och har flera fördelar jämfört med andra akvifertester.

Slug test is an aquifer test often used by hydrogeologist and engineers to determine the hydraulic conduct-ivity. In this bachelor thesis I discuss aquifers with small diameter piezometers where some of the them are screened across the water table. The essay is conducted in cooperation with the su

The starch and yeast industries are two key sectors of the European food industry, with annual turnovers of approx. € 4 billion and € 500 million, respectively, in Europe alone. The production processes in the starch and yeast industries are still dominated by conventional separation processes such as evaporators, separators and rotary vacuum filters (RVFs), and membrane processes are only rarely

This work aims to study the effect of fuel inhomogeneity on the ignition process and subsequent combustion in a compression ignition Partially Premixed Combustion (PPC) engine using a primary reference fuel (PRF) in low load conditions. Five cases with injection timings ranging from the start of injection (SOI) at -70 crank angle degrees (CAD) to -17 CAD have been studied numerically and experimen

Bacteria and fungi are the two principal decomposer groups in soils, determining rates of biogeochemical cycling. Rewetting of dry soils induces enormous dynamics in biogeochemistry. Bacteria have been shown to exhibit large variation in growth over time upon drying-rewetting (D/RW), however, in studies to date, fungal growth has shown limited responsiveness. Here we investigated whether fungal gr

PURPOSE: A growing number of young patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumour survived for more than five years. However, these long-term survivors might be at risk of multiple late effects thus leading to a higher risk of late mortality. We aimed to explore the risk of late mortality and the pattern of mortality among long-term survivors of childhood or adolescent CNS tumour.METHODS: We id

Recent studies suggest that oncogenic processes (from precancerous lesions to metastatic cancers) are widespread in wild animal species, but their importance for ecosystem functioning is still underestimated by evolutionary biologists and animal ecologists. Similar to what has been observed in humans, environmental modifications that often place wild organisms into an evolutionary trap and/or expo
