Antalet företagsförvärv har de senaste åren ökat och det finns indikationer på att en sådan trend kommer att fortlöpa. En annan trend på marknaden för företagsförvärv är framväxten av AI- teknologin som på olika sätt kan få konsekvenser för förvärvsprocessen. Dessa två trender i kombination med riskfördelningen mellan parterna föranleder uppsatsens syfte som är att utreda köparens undersökningspliThe amount of mergers and acquisitions has during the past years increased and there are factors that speak for such a trend to proceed. Another trend on the market for mergers and acquisitions is the emergence of AI that could contain consequences for the acquisition-process in several ways. These two trends combined with the risk-sharing between the parties give rise to the purpose of the essay

Modern science, as we today know it has its roots in Europe during the renaissance, philosophers then begun to form knowledge on the rules for how nature science should work in its quest in understanding the universe. The seventeenth century was also when scientific journals came into circulation, this represents a great leap in how science was communicated in contrast to earlier private correspon

Parasitter og cytokiner i en naturlig populasjon I naturen finner vi utallige eksempler på arter som har spesialisert seg på å utnytte andre arter for næring, trygghet og overlevelse. Denne spesialiseringen kalles parasitisme, og har ofte en kostnad for verten i form av redusert helse og livskvalitet. Hos däggdjur, er en stor parasittgruppe innvollsparasitter. nematoder som lever i tarmene og sugAbstract In nature, the coexistence of parasites and hosts has been an important factor in evolution of the immune system, which can be found in all plants and animals. As parasitic infections are by definition affect overall fitness of the host, it is important for the host to be able to counteract the detrimental effects of infections. To ensure this, signaling molecules, known as cytokines, e

The demand for high data rates in a wireless communication system has experienced a remarkable growth over the last years. This demand is continually increasing with the growing number of wirelessly connected devices. Thus, there is a continuing hunt for increasing the data transmission rate in wireless communication systems. To increase the data rate, the modern wireless communication system cann

Today, buildings account for approximately 30% of worldwide energy use, with HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems representing nearly 40% of that total. Improving the energy efficiency of HVAC systems is therefore essential for reducing operational costs and mitigating environmental impact. Because HVAC systems operate continuously and under strict operational constraints, acc

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka till vilken grad FN:s deklaration om de universella mänskliga rättigheterna (UDHR) kan anses vara präglad av en västerländsk uppfattning om mänskliga rättigheter. För att avgöra detta tittar jag på dels UDHR:s tillkomst, dels på dess innehåll och jämför detta med andra rättighetskataloger och deras bakomliggande rättstraditioner. Fokuset ligger på hur UDHRThe purpose of this essay is to critically examine if the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (the UDHR) is characterized by a Western perception of human rights and to examine the effects of such a characterization. This is attempted through studying the process in drafting and passing the Declaration and by looking at the content of the Declaration. When looking at the drafting and passing o

This thesis explores a new source of sexual education, which some express concerns about and others are not worried about it at all. The source is social media. Whereas before, young individuals could use informal sources such as friends, family, the media or formal sources such as doctors, teachers, and other health workers. Now young individuals can log on to Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok

This paper studies the possibility to exploit linear dependence in stock returns of the Swedish OMX 30 index. The main model studied in the paper is a Vector autoregressive (VAR) model. Ten years of data from the OMX 30 index is used, consisting of 27 stocks for the period 2006-2015 which is transformed into daily, weekly and monthly returns. First the significance of the models is tested and it i

During the last few years, crowding effects on the physics of proteins has become an increasingly popular topic of research. This is is because most biological processes involving proteins naturally take place in a crowded environment, e.g. in the cellular environment where macromolecules may occupy 30% of the volume. One such biological process would be the formation of amyloid aggregates, which

The ground state properties of Mg-31 indicate a change of nuclear shape at N = 19 with a deformed J(pi) = 1/2(+) intruder state as a ground state, implying that Mg-31 is part of the "island of inversion". The collective properties of excited states were the subject of a Coulomb excitation experiment at REX-ISOLDE, CERN, employing a radioactive Mg-31 beam. De-excitation gamma-rays were detected by

Laminar burning velocities of four biomass derived gases have been measured at atmospheric pressure over a range of equivalence ratios and hydrogen contents, using the heat flux method on a perforated flat flame burner. The studied gas mixtures include an air-blown gasification gas from an industrial gasification plant, a model gasification gas studied in the literature, and an upgraded landfill g

Background: As more people reach older age, there is a growing interest in improving old person's health, activity, independence and social participation, thereby adding quality to the extended years. Preventive home visits (PHV) programs for old people have received much attention in recent decades. A large body of research shows mixed effects, and argues that a home visit is a complex social pro

Popular Abstract in Swedish I vår egen tid finns ett stort intresse för släktforskning och historia hos många. Men man tänker sällan på att även människor i gångna tider kunnat blicka tillbaka på sitt förflutna och fundera på sin egen plats i släktleden. Vad var de ville minnas och hur mindes de i en tid utan skriv- och läskunnighet? Det är frågor som ställs i avhandlingen och där svaren söks i deThis thesis examine how farm-dwellers in the Mälaren region during the late Iron Age and early Middle Ages created, transferred, and preserved memory by deliberately placing new houses and graves on the houses and graves of previous generations. Focus is on memory as a social phenomenon and culture-specific resource created by these deliberate practices. The culture-specific element is oral cultur

Popular Abstract in English Over thirty years of experience shows that energy efficiency is the easiest, fastest, and cheapest strategy to reduce today’s rampant energy use. To enhance energy efficiency, governmental intervention and business strategies are needed. The question of which governmental policies are the most effective to support energy efficiency remains unanswered. Policy learning anExperience shows that energy efficiency improvements are the most cost-effective path to meeting global energy challenges. To promote energy efficiency, various policy instruments have been in place since the 1970s. Nevertheless, energy efficiency improvements still lag behind their potential in the building sector, which indicates that there is a lack of knowledge about the performance of policie

There is an urgent need for biomarkers to enable early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). It has recently been shown that a variant within the clusterin gene is associated with increased risk of AD and plasma levels of clusterin have been found to be associated with the risk of AD. We, therefore, investigated the diagnostic value of clusterin by quantifying clusterin using an ELISA in plasma f

In the autumn of 2003 newspaper headlines declared that Environment Commissioner Margot Wallström had poison in her blood. After a blood test 28 hazardous chemicals were found, among these DDT that had been abandoned from the market since 1983. In this thesis the reader will find a case study on the EU's chemical Regulation REACH (Regulation, Evaluation, Authorisation of Chemicals). REACH has

Ett av de svåraste momenten för en domare är hur de ska värdera en muntlig utsaga. Vid sexualbrott är det vanligt förekommande att en utsaga är den största bevisningen, det är därför av största vikt att en utsaga värderas på ett objektivt och godtagbart sätt. I Sverige finns det ingen lagreglering om hur en bevisvärdering ska gå till. För att rättssäkerheten inte helt ska försvinna finns det riktlOne of the most difficult moments of a judge is how to evaluate an oral statement. When dealing with sex crimes the oral statement is usually the biggest evidence, it is therefore important that an oral statement is valued in an objective and acceptable manner. In Sweden, there is no legal regulation on how an evaluation on oral statements should work. There are guidelines for the evaluation of or

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur näringsbehovet tillgodoses skiljer sig mellan spädbarn och småbarn. Bröstmjölk och/eller modersmjölksersättning dominerar som källor till energi-och näringsintag under första levnadsåret. I småbarnskosten däremot, tillför komjölk majoriteten av energi, protein och mättat fett, men knappast något järn eller fleromättat fett alls. Flera rekommendationer finns över hurIn the diet for young children, whole cow´s milk is the major contributor of calories, protein and saturated fat, but it supplies little iron and polyunsaturated fat. Although several recommendations exist for the composition of formula, recommendations for the composition of milk for young children are lacking. We investigated if milk with modified fat-, protein-, and iron content aimed at young
