The Swedish railway transportation system possess substantial lack of capacity on most routs. At the same time the demand for rail transport are expected to grow and The Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) believes that measures to increase the capacity are substance for the system to cope with the increased traffic. In addition, measures needs to be done for the Swedish rail transport
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is one of the three primary anthropogenic greenhouse gases. The agricultural sector accounts for 75.7 % of all anthropogenic N2O emissions in Germany (Umweltbundesamt, 2012). Thus, accurately estimating N2O emissions as well as mitigation strategies for N2O are crucial. This study optimizes the process-based model DNDC to simulate N2O emissions by conventional winter wheat and
BACKGROUND: Macrophage foam cell formation is a prominent feature of human atherosclerotic plaques, usually considered to be correlated to uptake of and inflammatory response to oxidized low density lipoproteins (OxLDL). However, there are alternative pathways for formation of macrophage foam cells and the effect of such lipid loading on macrophage function remains to be fully characterized. In th
This dissertation is based on three questions:What is orality, how has orality developed during the last 200 years in Swedish non-fiction, and what is the cause of this development? Orality is treated here as the linguistic consequence of a certain communicative function. The basis is the different conditions of speech and writing and the different styles and features that are determined by these
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling presenterar en metod som kan hantera generella tjocka frekvensselektiva strukturer (FSS). Metoden är baserad på modanpassning och finita elementmetoden (FEM). Avhandlingen är en sammanläggningsavhandling och består av en introduktion som följs av fem vetenskapliga artiklar. Frekvensselektiva strukturer fungerar som filter för elektromagnetiska vågor, sThis thesis presents a new method that can handle a general thick Frequency Selective Structure (FSS), that consists of an arbitrary number of aperture layers and dielectric layers. The method is based on the Mode Matching Technique (MMT) and the finite element method (FEM). The thesis consists of a General Introduction and five scientific papers. The General Introduction gives an overview of fil
Globally, there is a widespread consensus that the transition to circular economy (CE) within the construction industry represents a crucial pathway to achieve the decarbonization of the industry by 2050 while fostering economic growth. At the European level, policies and legislations are progressively promoting the use of circular building products and encouraging higher levels of energy and reso
Terrestrial ecosystems currently sequester about one third of anthropogenic CO 2 emissions each year, an important ecosystem service that dampens climate change. The future fate of this net uptake of CO 2 by land based ecosystems is highly uncertain. Most ecosystem models used to predict the future terrestrial carbon cycle share a common architecture, whereby carbon that enters the system as net p
Aims: We tested whether autoantibodies to all three ZnT8RWQ variants, GAD65, insulinoma-associated protein 2 (IA-2), insulin and autoantibodies to islet cell cytoplasm (ICA) in combination with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) would improve the diagnostic sensitivity of childhood type 1 diabetes by detecting the children who otherwise would have been autoantibody-negative. Methods: A total of 686 pat
This dissertation explores how son preference is constructed and renegotiated in light of social change in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Based on secondary sources and interviews with women and men in rural Anhui Province as well as key informants, it addresses son preference from conceptual, methodological, empirical and ideological perspectives. The analysis centres around son preference
Complement activation occurs during inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is thought to contribute to the chronic inflammation observed within the joints. Previous studies have shown that certain cartilage components of the small leucine-rich repeat protein (SLRP)-family regulate complement activity, thereby possibly contributing to disease progression. The aim of this
There is a longstanding debate between environmentalists and economists regarding the possibility to combine economic growth and sustainability. So far, the neoliberal economists’ argumentation for a capitalist economic system with everlasting economic growth has been the dominating paradigm. In Sweden, one group of environmentalists able to influence policymaking without being actual decision-mak
Concepts such as Creating Shared Value [CSV] and Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility [SCSR] respond to a demand for organisations to take responsibility for their contributions to increasing social issues such as social exclusion or the effects of climate change. The concept of SCSR is describing activities that provide economic values for organisations while at the same time targeting socia
The EU has, in the Lisbon strategy, set an objective to become the most competitive economy in the world by 2010. It will, in order to achieve this objective, be necessary to develop and rapidly spread new technologies on the common market. National IP laws provide the legislative framework for the existence and scope of an intellectual property right while EC competition law concerns the exercise
If human rights are to be enjoyed by every person regardless of origin or nationality; if human rights are the rights of the human being under any circumstances, then the best way to gauge the quality and depth of our systems of protection of human rights will be to examine the extent to which these are enjoyed by their most genuine recipients: those deprived of wealth and citizenship, a home and
I denna framställning behandlas fyra huvudsakliga frågeställningar beträffande den avtalsrättsliga lojalitetsplikten som försäkringsbolag har att beakta i företagsförsäkringsavtal. Beträffande den fösta frågeställningen, vad lojalitetsplikten i dessa avtal grundas på, kan följande konstateras. Plikten innebär att parterna med omsorg har att iaktta och tillvarata motpartens intressen i avtalsförhThis presentation deals with four main issues concerning the contractual duty of loyalty which insurance companies have to consider in business insurance agreements. Regarding the first question at issue - what the duty of loyalty in these agreements is based on - the following can be stated. The duty implies that the parties with care observe and exploit the counterparty’s interests in the cont
I skrivelsen Skärpt straff för mord presenterar Justitiedepartementet ett lagförslag som syftar till att förändra tillämpningen av påföljderna för mord. Förslaget innebär att samtliga fall av mord där försvårande omständigheter föreligger ska straffas med livstids fängelse. En stor del av dessa gärningar leder enligt gällande rätt och nuvarande rättstillämpning till ett längre tidsbestämt fängelseIn their official letter Sharper punishments for murder the Ministry of Justice presents a bill to change the choice of sanctions for murder.

Uppsatsen behandlar fenomenet som uppstår när tillgångarna i ett bolag som ska avvecklas inte är tillräckligt stora för att täcka likvidationskostnaderna men samtidigt för stora för att en konkurs ska kunna avslutas utan överskott, då kommer nämligen bolaget att gå i konkurs om och om igen tills tillgångarna tagit slut, en s k jojo-konkurs.

This is what I call a yo-yo bankruptcy. The purpose of this essay is to investigate the relationship between t
I förevarande undersökning behandlas likhetsprincipen och generalklausulerna i ABL. Likhetsprincipen innebär att ett bolags aktier som huvudregel ska ha lika rätt i bolaget medan generalklausulerna förbjuder vissa åtgärder som är ägnade att ge en otillbörlig fördel åt en aktieägare eller någon annan till nackdel för bolaget eller någon annan aktieägare. Föreställningen om att aktier och aktieägareThis thesis analyses the equality principle and the general clauses in the Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslag (2005:551)). The equality principle states, as main rule, that all shares shall carry equal rights in the company whereas the general clauses prohibit certain measures which are likely to provide an undue advantage to a shareholder or another person to the disadvantage of the company or any
