In a future fossil-free circular economy, the petroleum-based plastics industry must be converted to non-fossil feedstock. A known alternative is bio-based plastics, but a relatively unexplored option is deriving the key plastic building blocks, hydrogen and carbon, from electricity through electrolytic processes combined with carbon capture and utilization technology. In this paper the future dem

Research in avian blood parasites has seen a remarkable increase since the introduction of polymerase chain reaction-based methods for parasite identification. New data are revealing complex multihost-multiparasite systems which are difficult to understand without good knowledge of the host range and geographical distribution of the parasite lineages. However, such information is currently difficu

Thirty clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, 20 of which were multidrug-resistant (MDR), were tested for susceptibility to different combinations of amoxycillin, clavulanic acid and subinhibitory concentrations of ethambutol. beta-Lactamase production was assessed semiquantitatively with the nitrocefin method and susceptibility testing was performed with the BACTEC method. All isolates

Background: Previous research has focused exclusively on weight loss or weight maintenance following weight loss, i.e. secondary weight maintenance (SWM). The long-term results of SWM have been modest, suggesting that preventing initial weight gain among normal weight or overweight individuals, i.e. primary weight maintenance (PWM), may be more successful. The aim of this study was to compare the

Abstract in UndeterminedBackground: The multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is the major cause of morbidity and mortality associated with acute pancreatitis. Presently, therapy is merely organ supportive as no effective therapy against underlying causative pathophysiologicla mechanisms exists. Aims: To evaluate the effect of treatmetn with a platelet-activating factor inhibitor (PAFI), a mo

Laser-induced Rayleigh scattering is commonly employed for two-dimensional temperature measurements and offers benefits such as high accuracy, easily interpreted data and low experimental complexity. Yet the approach suffers from an interference often referred to as stray light, an umbrella term used for all spurious light being detected. As Rayleigh scattering is an elastic scattering phenomenon,

Carboxylic acids (CAs), amino acids (AAs) and carbohydrates (CHs) in dissolved free forms can be readily assimilated by aquatic bacteria and metabolized at high growth efficiencies. Previous studies have shown that these low-molecular-weight (LMW) substrates are released by phytoplankton but also that unidentified LMW compounds of terrestrial origin is a subsidy for bacterial metabolism in unprodu

The implicit assumption of many scientific and regulatory frameworks that ecosystems impacted by human pressures may be reverted to their original condition by suppressing the pressure was tested using coastal eutrophication. The response to nutrient abatement of four thoroughly studied coastal ecosystems that received increased nutrient inputs between the 1970s and the 1980s showed that the traje

Open Access definieras som fri, omedelbar, permanent tillgång till vetenskapligt material i fulltext. Redan idag använder sig universiteten av Open Access, och en stor andel forskare anger att de har kännedom om OA. Statistiska Centralbyrån (SCB) har gjort uppskattningen att nära 75% av alla pengar som investeras i svensk forskning kommer från privata företag. Trots detta verkar inte Open Access-d

AIM: Injections administered by patients are one of the mainstays of diabetes management. Proper injection technique is vital to avoiding intramuscular injections, ensuring appropriate delivery to the subcutaneous tissues and avoiding common complications such as lipohypertrophy. Yet few formal guidelines have been published summarizing all that is known about best practice. We propose new injecti

Att bedriva yrkesmässig verksamhet med uppfödning och träning av hästar som huvudsaklig syssla har blivit vanligt förekommande. Liksom för all yrkesmässig verksamhet, behöver ett företag som arbetar med hästar nå upp till en viss ekonomisk nivå för att anses vara näringsdrivande och inte klassas som hobbyverksamhet. Dessa krav kan vara svåruppnåeliga för en hästföretagare, vilket ofta beror på attIn Sweden the Consumer Sales Act (Konsumentköplagen 1990:932) is applied on sales of movables, when the seller is a businessman and the buyer is a consumer. The law was modified in 2002 after an EU-initiated directive - Directive on the Sales of Consumer Goods and Associated Guarantees (1999/44/EC). The directive applies to all member states in the EU and sets out the minimum level of consumer pro

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to test how Nordic acquirers perform post M&A deals and to what extent the Method of Payment affects this performance. An additional analysis is also conducted where the above is tested, conditional on the financial constraints of the acquirer. Methodology: To obtain the long-term performance (BHAR) of Nordic acquirers, an event study has been conducted.

Utbrottet av den globala pandemin våren 2020, inneburit omvälvande förändringar för i stort sett alla människor och verksamheter. Privilegier som fri rörlighet och mötesfrihet har sedan utbrottet bytts ut mot strikta restriktioner i de flesta länder vilket drivit många branscher in i krisläge och därmed förändringsarbete. Fastighetsbranschen är inget undantag. Sedan folkhälsomyndigheten rekommenSince the outbreak of the pandemic early 2020, the world has experienced disruptive change in many of its foundations. Privileges as free movement, the freedom of assembly and simply being able to go to the movies have been replaced by strict local and national policies, limiting humans and companies. The Covid-19 agenda has forced a lot of businesses into crisis mode with transformation as a cons

Föreliggande uppsats är ett examensarbete i juris kandidatprogrammet. Uppsatsen är skriven inom området familjerätt, mer preciserat inom successionsrätten. Uppsatsen behandlar efterlevande makes arvsrätt genom att gå igenom de regler som finns på området i Sverige, Norge och Danmark. Inom arvsrätten har det länge varit släktskapet som styrt vart arvet efter en avliden skall hamna. I dagens samhäThis thesis is written in the field of family law, more precisely about the law of succession. The thesis describes the spouse’s right to inheritance by comparing the rules in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. In the Swedish law of succession, it has long been the kinship that controlled where the estate of a deceased person should end up. The legislature has to some extent moved away from this. It is

Through a number of rulings from the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in the past few years a new method for prohibiting abusive behaviour seems to have been established within the European Community. This is in view of the fact that the Court has chosen to acknowledge requests from member states to disqualify claims on Value added tax (VAT) refunds in spite of them being formally legitimate. Perha

The hedge fund industry has become one of the most creative and innovative areas within banking and finance during the past ten years. Its rapid growth and constant development has made it hard for regulators to mitigate the potential risks posed to investors and the financial system. The aim of this thesis is to discuss the potential need for further regulation of hedge funds, mainly based on the

The European Union (EU) is heading for an increased economic, legal and political integration of its Member States. In spite of all the efforts to bring the people of Europe closer, significant differences in national laws and cultures still exist. Enhanced understanding of such disparities can create opportunities for companies operating on the EU market in several areas, including the way to dea

Laminar burning velocity of lean hydrogen + air flames at standard conditions is still a debated topic in combustion. The existing burning velocity measurements possess a large spread due to the use of different measurement techniques and data processing approaches. The biggest uncertainty factor in these measurements comes from the necessity to perform extrapolation to the flat flame conditions,
