The research area of this essay is the people's perception of the post modern/late modern society's increasing individualization and increasing number of choices. The main theoretical points are Giddens and Bauman's theories about humans in the post modern/late modern society. Giddens describes reflexivity as a way to consider your own role and your responsibility to society. Bauman is
A small wind power plant connected to the grid has been modeled in Modelica/ Dymola and controlled using external controllers written in C++. The small wind power plant consists of three wind power units with a nominal power of 3kW and one grid connection interconnected with an internal DCgrid. All the controls needed for control and optimization for the operation of the individual parts in the pl
This master thesis is part of the development of a new industrial machine. The machine is a fully automated transplanting machine for the forest industry and will be used by nurseries around the world. Nurseries grow seedlings and sell them when they have grown enough to be planted in the ground. The machine being developed moves plants from a tray with small cells to a tray with bigger cells. Thi
Canada is one of the only nations in the world that offers universal health coverage that excludes outpatient prescription drug services. This means that citizens may find out their diagnosis free of charge, but must incur out-of-pocket expenses for prescription drugs dispensed outside of hospitals. This paper examines the prevalence of prescription drug coverage in Canada across various socioecon
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is the physiological phenomenon of variation in the time interval between heartbeats. High frequency (HF) HRV signals (0.12-0.4 Hz), especially, has been linked to parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) activity. Activity in this range is associated with the respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). In this thesis, we are interested in the differences between the power of HF-
Gemensamt för alla människor är att vi någon gång måste konfronteras med döden och dess rättsverkningar. Antingen går en släkting till oss bort eller så är det vi själva som har vår bortgång nära förestående. Syftet med denna uppsats är att få ökad kunskap om hur grunderna i den legala arvsordningen skiljer sig åt mellan Sverige och Danmark i olika familjekonstellationer. Utgångspunkten är följandOne day we all must face death and its legal consequences. It is either in our own near future, or a relative may pass away. The aim with this thesis is to learn about the fundamental differences in inheritance law between Sweden and Denmark in different family constellations. The thesis is based on these constellations: Married couples with joint children, married couples with children from a pre
Sverige har historiskt sett haft ett generöst konsolideringssystem för koncerner med stora avdragsmöjligheter. Avdragsmöjligheten för bland annat ränta har dock begränsats i allt större utsträckning på grund av viktigare samhällsintressen, så som ett förhindrande av skatteflykt och aggressiv skatteplanering. Ett resultat av detta är att det år 2019 trädde i kraft nya generella ränteavdragsbegränPreviously Sweden has had a generous consolidation system for groups with large deduction possibilities. However, the possibility of interest deductions, among other things, has increasingly been limited due to more important societal interests, such as preventing tax evasion and tax avoidance practices. As a result, new general interest limitation rules were put into practice in 2019 affecting
Objective Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic disease with variable vascular involvement. The objective was to investigate predictors of time-dependent large-vessel involvement (LVI) in a population-based cohort of patients with GCA. Methods GCA patients with positive temporal artery biopsies (TAB) between 1997- 2010 were identified through a regional pathology register. A structured review o
In this essay, I investigate Swedish possibilities to influence the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union (CAP). After having summarized my findings, I try to explain the structure of influence by using Multi-level governance theory. Ten years have passed since Sweden joined the Union, and many changes have followed in the agricultural sector. By investigating the small country of Swed
Popular Abstract in Swedish Nivån på arbetsproduktivitet är särskilt betydelsefull i utvecklingsländer där det mesta av byggnadsarbetet utförs manuellt. Tidigare forskning har konstaterat att produktiviteten i byggindustrin är låg och i några fall sjunkande. Bristande produktivitet hos byggnadsarbetarna är en orsak till kostnadsöverskridande och förseningar av byggprojekt. Syfte med detta forskninProductivity of labour is particularly important especially in developing countries where most of the building work is still carried out on manual basis. Previous research has pointed out that productivity in the building industry is low and in some cases declining. Poor productivity of craftsmen is one of the causes of cost and time overruns on building projects. The objective of this research wa
We consider a Casimir apparatus consisting of two perfectly conducting parallel plates, subject to the weak gravitational field of the Earth. The aim of this paper is the calculation of the energy-momentum tensor of this system for a free, real massless scalar field satisfying Neumann boundary conditions on the plates. The small gravity acceleration (considered here as not varying between the two
The optical properties of the crystalline lenses were studied in a variety of large predatory teleosts (bony fishes) that forage in the open ocean, some of them at considerable depths. We found the first fish lenses that are free of measurable longitudinal spherical aberration, i.e., are perfectly monofocal, in contrast to the multifocal lenses that are typical for smaller fishes living close to t
We present results of a resonant photoemission study of (Zn,Co)O films with Co content between 2% and 7%. The films were grown by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) at low temperature of 160 degrees C and show fully paramagnetic behavior. The Co ions are uniformly distributed in the ZnO matrix and are free of foreign phases and metal accumulations as indicated by TEM data. The electronic structure of (
We have compared the predictions of ligand-binding affinities from several methods based on end-point molecular dynamics simulations and continuum solvation, i.e. methods related to MM/PBSA (molecular mechanics combined with Poisson-Boltzmann and surface area solvation). Two continuum-solvation models were considered, viz. the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) and generalised Born (GB) approaches. The non-el
Computing accurate visibility for thin primitives, such as hair strands, fur, grass, at all scales remains difficult or expensive. To that end, we present an efficient visibility algorithm based on spatial line sampling, and a novel intersection algorithm between line sample planes and Bezier splines with varying thickness. Our algorithm produces accurate visibility both when the projected width o
Background: Fibrinogen, a plasma protein essential for clot formation, can reach critically low levels during bleeding. The most commonly used method to determine fibrinogen is the photometric Clauss method. Intravenous colloid fluids can lead to falsely high values of fibrinogen when measured with the photometric Clauss method in comparison to an immunologic method. The main objective of this stu
Dubbel ickebeskattning på grund av tillämpning av skatteavtal kan definieras som den skattemässiga effekt som inträder då varken hemviststaten eller källstaten har något beskattningsanspråk i förhållande till en viss inkomst men där inkomsten skulle ha beskattats av någon stat i frånvaro av skatteavtalet. Hittills har intresset och förståelsen för de bakomliggande orsakerna varit begränsad och detTax treaty induced double non–taxation may be defined as the non–imposition of tax on certain income by both Contracting States, where the income would be subject to taxation absent the treaty. Up to now, there has been limited interest in, and appreciation of, the underlying causes, and there has been a lack of systematic review as to which strategies are deemed most appropriate for avoiding unin
Sammanfattning Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur EU-rätten påverkar den svenska arbetsrättsliga modellen, särskilt arbetsgivarens generella informationsplikt och om Sverige har levt upp till de krav som EU-rätten ställer vid införlivandet av direktiv 2002/14/EG om införlivande av allmän ram för information till och samråd med i Europeiska gemenskapen, gällande nationella förhållanden. The purpose of this paper is to examine how EU law influences the Swedish labour law model, particularly the general obligation of employers to provide information and concerning, whether Sweden has lived up to the requirements imposed under EU law regarding the implementation of the directive 2002/14/EC establishing a general framework for informing and consulting employees in the European Commun
A straightforward gradient expansion of the exchange energy of a perturbed electron gas is performed. Studied perturbations range from very weak to those that produce, e.g., a silicon-like band structure with a band gap. The expansions involve density gradients up to fourth degree and we include all terms originating in linear- and second-order response theory. The expansion reproduces exactly cal
Subsidiarity was one important issue in the snuff discussion within the Community during the first years of the 90s. The purpose was to allow Swedes to continue their age-old habit of putting moist tobacco under the upper lip.6 The snuff debate touched upon Community concepts which will again be of relevance in the lGC 1996. The legality, subsidiarity and proportionality principles were all referr
