The Armauer Hansen Research Institute (AHRI) in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, was established by the Swedish and Norwegian Save the Children organisations in collaboration with the University of Bergen, with the principal objective of pursuing basic research in leprosy. The institute has a commendable record of achievement, and has made significant contributions to our understanding of leprosy and its co
Transition metal complexes can activate otherwise unreactive C-H bonds to form C-C bonds, which is of great use for the synthetic chemist. One type of organometallic framework that has gained fame in the last decade is the pincer complex because of its stability, and how easily its steric and electronic properties can be altered. Palladium is one of the transition metals commonly used in pincer co
The Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on public procurement and repealing Directive 2004/18/EC was implemented in Finland by the Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts (1397/2016, “Procurement Act”) which entered into force on 1 January 2017.

Mental illness has increasingly become a problem throughout the world and is believed to cost the global economy $16 trillion by 2030. Consequently, a growing body of literature investigates the possible causes of mental illness and more specifically, possible early life circumstances which may affect adult mental health. Limited research exists though in terms of exposure to recessions in utero a
Aggressiv skatteplanering har i takt med den digitala ekonomin blivit alltmer vanligt. På grund av multinationella företags globala natur har dessa en fördel i skattehänseenden genom att de kan flytta vinster mellan länder i syfte att betala mindre skatt. Både inom OECD och EU pågår ett ständigt arbete med att minska den aggressiva skatteplaneringen globalt. Genom BEPS-projektet har ett par verktyIn the more digital economy aggressive tax planning has become increasingly common. Due to their global nature, multinational corporations can move profits between countries in order to reduce their taxes. Both the OECD and the EU are continuously working to reduce the aggressive tax planning globally. Through the BEPS project several tools have been developed. One of these is country-by-country-r
Det får anses vedertaget att barn är en särskilt utsatt grupp världen över. Gifta barn, som dessutom är asylsökande, är alldeles särskilt sårbara. Insikten om detta bör genomsyra all lagstiftning som avser barn, där barnets bästa ska sättas i främsta rummet. Uppsatsens övergripande syfte har varit att undersöka ett i utlandet gift barns rätt att i Sverige återförenas med sina föräldrar. Syftet haIt may be considered accepted that children are a particularly vulnerable group worldwide. Married children, who are also asylum seekers, are particularly vulnerable. The realization of this should permeate all legislation concerning children, where the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration. The overall purpose of the essay has been to investigate a child married abroad righ
Att säkra tillgång till patentskyddade medicinska produkter, särskilt livsnödvändiga läkemedel rörande HIV/AIDS och andra epidemiska sjukdomar, har varit i fokus för en global juridisk debatt under många år. Denna debatt intensifierades ytterligare efter tillkomsten av TRIPS-avtalet och den globala verkställigheten av immaterialrätter såsom patent genom Världshandelsorganisationen (WTO). Många NThe issue of securing access to patented pharmaceutical products, especially essential medicines in the field of HIV/AIDS and other epidemic diseases, has been in the forefront of global legal debate for many years. This debate intensified further following the enactment of the TRIPS agreement and the global enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights such as patents through the World Trade Organi
What is a, in the school, participating parent? That is the main question of this essay and study. The study involves interviews with 19 parents of children in the age 10-13, in the Karlshamn-region in Blekinge. Two schools in the region were included: one in the centre of the town Karlshamn and one in a smaller community on the countryside, outside Karlshamn. We also met with the principals of th
This research aims to understand the frames used by conspiracy theorists by establishing a new pathway in media framing, or in other words a media framing micro-theory, called conspiratorial framing. The aims are accomplished through a critical analysis of the case of Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist, and InfoWars, the media channel through which Jones operates. Through frame analysis, accomplis
This paper describes a study examining four different GARCH models AR(1)-GARCH(1,1), AR(1)-EGARCH(1,1), AR(1)-APGARCH(1,1) and AR(1)-GJR-GARCH(1,1), and their ability to predict future volatility and thereby providing more reliable estimates for Value-at-Risk. The study is based on daily observations for the return of the OMX Stockholm 30 Index, during the time period 31st December 1996 to 29th De
The aim of this study was to highlight preschool teacher´s thoughts about their mandatory reporting duty, in relation to their own actions and the social service. Several studies show that there is a difference between how many children that is suspected maltreated and how many children are reported to social service. I conducted interviews with five preschool teachers who are employed at municipa
För närvarande finns ett välutvecklat skatteavtalsnätverk med över 3000 tecknade avtal. Med detta följer också stora möjligheter till internationell skatteplanering. Treaty shopping är inget nytt fenomen inom internationell skatterätt men har aldrig varit lika kontroversiellt som nu. Treaty shopping innebär att en skattskyldig organiserar sina affärer i syfte att omfattas av ett visst skatteavtaThere is currently a well-developed tax treaty network with over 3000 concluded treaties. Accordingly, there are countless opportunities for international tax planning. The concept of treaty shopping is a fairly new phenomenon and it has never been as controversial as today. Treaty shopping implies that taxpayers arrange their affairs in order to be covered by a particular tax treaty. To be cove
How can the low representation of women in politics in Bosnia-Herzegovina be understood and what can a different approach add to already existing approaches to make Bosnia-Herzegovina more gender equal in terms of political representation of the genders? There has been established a Gender Equality Law that demands a 40% gender quota of political representation, but the gender representation has o
The historical development of responsibility for wars and aggressive acts has seen a shift of focus during the last century. Where the attention was previously focused on the unlawfulness of a State act (the Act of Aggression), the attention is now on the involvement and responsibility of individuals. The topic of this thesis is to follow the development of the possibility to hold those behind Sta

By Social Workers with migrant background, I mean persons who are born outside Sweden and who have immigrated to Sweden. I am interested to know how this group of people experiences and understands their cultural o
Asymmetric construction of dithiodiketopiperazines on otherwise achiral scaffolds remains a pivotal synthetic challenge encountered in many biologically significant natural products. Herein, we report the first total syntheses of (−)-glionitrin A/B and revise the absolute configurations. Emerging from the study is a novel oxidative sulfenylation of triketopiperazines that enables asymmetric format
When does the mind begin? Infant psychology is mysterious in part because we cannot remember our first months of life, nor can we directly communicate with infants. Even more speculative is the possibility of mental life prior to birth. The question of when consciousness, or subjective experience, begins in human development thus remains incompletely answered, though boundaries can be set using cu
