The focus of company’s aftermarket is no longer only the “machine shop” where aftermarket finds solutions to offer spare parts to the customers. Instead aftermarket is focused on technological improvements that continue to change and improve on the way aftermarket operates. The way aftermarket operates has shifted from reading documents to be more integrated with computers and the next step is, fo
Article 102 TFEU prohibits any abuse by one or more undertakings in a dominant position. A dominant undertaking offering exclusivity rebates falls under the prohibition laid down in Article 102 TFEU. The treatment of exclusivity rebates in case law has been a controversy, the first cases held a strict approach towards exclusivity rebates and established that exclusivity rebates are to be assessed
This master’s thesis explores and discusses the discursive construction of the image of Sweden within the exhibition practice of the Swedish Institute in Paris, France (SI Paris). SI Paris is the only Swedish culture centre abroad and hosts several exhibitions portraying different elements of Swedish culture each year. SI Paris is a part of the larger organisation the Swedish Institute (SI) which
There is no answer to the question “Are sustainability challenges solvable within capitalism?” which is not already taking sides in a debate about values, perceptions and motivations. There are several different approaches to sustainability, based on assumed feasibilities and expected agents of change. By disclosing one’s own stand in the debate while being aware and acknowledging other possible a
Transnationella företag anses idag generellt sett inte vara folkrättsligt skyldiga att respektera mänskliga rättigheter. I stater där det nationella skyddet av mänskliga rättigheter brister tillåts således företag begå kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter utan att träffas av juridiska sanktioner. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om en traktat som direkt gör transnationella företag folkrätTransnational corporations are today in general not considered to be obligated under international law to respect human rights. In states where the protection of human rights through national law is weak corporations thus may violate human rights without risking becoming subjects to legal santioncs. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether or not the conclusion of a treaty that obligate
Sverige har länge tillämpat ett beskattningssystem där makar och sambos har setts som ett skattesubjekt inför lagen, s.k. sambeskattning. Att taxera makar och sambos tillsammans, har historisk sett inneburit en högre skatt jämfört med ensamboende. Sambeskattning motverkade därför förvärvsarbetande kvinnor att ta steget ut på arbetsmarknaden. Skatterätten är ett dynamiskt rättsområde, och de äldre
The Chinese stock market has been established for more than 20 years. Although it is not as mature as the highly developed western securities markets, it has a huge influence on the global economy. It is significant to study the risks of the Chinese stock market, especially the risk of stock indexes. Affected by the economic globalization today, more and more financial derivatives and financial i
In this report the preparation of colloidal molecules through electrostatically driven self-assembly of spherical, thermoresponsive microgel building blocks is investigated. Colloidal molecules are of interest to the scientific community because, unlike spherical colloids, they account for anisotropic interactions that can also be found in atomic molecules. The added benet of using thermoresponsiv
Background Depressive disorders, specifically major depressive disorder (MDD), is predicted to become the leading cause of disease burden worldwide by 2030. In the United States, MDD is already the leading cause of disability. Yet, less than 50 percent of US adults diagnosed with a mental disorder seek treatment, often due to lack of health coverage or affordability. In 2014, the Affordable Care A
This thesis aims to determine whether there is a human right to education in mother tongue for national minorities in international as well as regional human rights law. Its goal is to contribute to the existing research by evaluating and assessing the available treaties as well as non-binding documents issued by United Nations, Council of Europe and Organization for Security and Co-operation in E
The development of English into a dynamic and diverse compound of language varieties has led to a spread of non-standard grammar features. Such linguistic development affects language education, and thus the significance of common non-standard grammar features needs to be explored. The purpose of this study was thus to investigate the significance of traditional “correctness” of grammar in relatio
Knowledge acquired through ecosystem service valuations can provide valuable information to stakeholders making land-use decisions. Effective use of ecosystem service valuation knowledge with a cost-benefit analysis can create resilient social-ecological systems. There is an increasing number of valuations being conducted, yet only one third of the studies are thought to be used in some form to ai
BACKGROUND: Obesity has been increasing in both developed and developing countries. One of the prevention strategies is controlling energy intake. The objective of this research was to examine the effects of four designed whole grain products, i.e. WG 100, WG 50/50, WG 50/50 + RS and KWWB, on colonic fermentation and appetite variables in healthy subjects. METHODS: The determination of dietary fib
Two methods of computational analysis of DNA barcodes are presented. A DNA barcode is formed by making GC-rich regions of a DNA molecule fluoresce while AT-rich regions remain dark, thus when stretched using nano-channels and viewed in a microscope, the DNA molecule will resemble a barcode with black and white stripes. Because of point-spread functions and pixellation the resolution will be roughl

Abstract Today large amounts of macadam are being delivered for the production of asphalt. One of the requirements of the material that´s being used is the adhesion. The adhesion is essential for the performance of the coating. It minimizes the risk of stone chips and makes the construction of the pavement stronger etc. Several studies have been made using the Roller bottle method. The results sho
Child molesters are possibly the most despised and feared of all criminals. Since children are some of the most vulnerable members of our society, sex crimes against children provoke a great deal of anxiety and are seen as particularly distressing. In recent years, the debate whether Sweden should introduce additional punishment and treatment options that are specifically designed to deal with sex
