Ultrasonography as a tool measuring the anterior capsular distance in THA was so far not described nor validated. Comparing the measurements of the capsular distance set with a caliper/ruler with those performed with ultrasonography on a THA model demonstrated a high correlation between measurements. The effect of experience of ultrasonography in THA was also evaluated comparing the first and last
Background: B-vitamins are essential for one-carbon metabolism and have been linked to colorectal cancer. Although associations with folate have frequently been studied, studies on other plasma vitamins B2, B6, and B12 and colorectal cancer are scarce or inconclusive. Methods: We carried out a nested case-control study within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, includ
Photosynthesis is performed by a multitude of organisms, but in P nearly all cases, it is variations on a common theme: absorption of light followed by energy transfer to a reaction center where charge separation takes place, This initial form of chemical energy is stabilized by the biosynthesis of carbohydrates. To produce these energy-rich products, a substrate is needed that feeds in reductive

Framställningen tar upp sambandet mellan skälighet och den gemensamma partsviljan inom ramen för jämkning och avtalstolkning. Frågeställningarna innefattar främst i vilken mån som partsviljan beaktas inom ramen för jämkning, samt i vilken mån skälighetsöverväganden görs inom ramen för avtalstolkning.

När ett bolag vill lägga ett offentligt uppköpserbjudande på ett noterat målbolag så är det vanligt att det köpande bolaget vill ha tillgång till viss information om målbolaget för att kunna bedöma målbolagets attraktivitet. En sådan undersökning kan omfatta finansiella, kommersiella och legala aspekter av målbolaget.

Termen konkurrens uppfattas ofta som mångtydig. Trots dess ansedda mångtydighet företar konkurrensrätten som rättsområde att skydda konkurrensen. Sällan förekommer diskussioner i den juridiska litteraturen gällande betydelsen av konkurrens. De definitioner som har angetts förefaller undermåliga i relation to ordets allmänna innebörd. Hur kan vi då ha sammanhållet rättsområde samt skydda konkurrensThe word competition is often regarded as being ambiguous. Despite the word’s ambiguity the field of competition law undertakes to protect competition. In the legal literature the definition of the meaning of the word is seldom discussed. When it is being defined, the definitions appear to be inadequate regarding the words meaning in everyday speech. How it is then possible to have a coherent area

När ett avtal mellan en spökskrivare (upphovsman) och en uppdragsgivare (förvärvare) ingås angående överlåtelse av namngivningsrätt, aktualiseras en av de mer intrikata juridiska frågeställningarna som berör gränslandet mellan upphovsrätt och avtalsrätt. Vid en första anblick, med utgångspunkt i vad upphovsrättslagen stadgar, verkar det inte vara möjligt för en upphovsman att totalt överlåta sin rWhen an agreement is entered into between a ghostwriter (author) and a commissioner (acquirer) regarding the transfer of the right of attribution, one of the more intricate legal questions concerning the borderland between copyright and contract law is raised. At first glance, based on what the Swedish Copyright Act stipulates, it does not seem possible for an author to completely transfer their r
Energy use and energy feedback - An evaluation of Sweden’s largest energy saving experiment at E.ON E.ON Sverige AB is now performing Sweden’s largest energy saving experiment to see if its customers can reduce their electricity consumption just by visualizing it.

Wheat bran is a by-product from the production of wheat flour. Nowadays wheat bran is mostly used as feed for animals, in the food and baking industry or it is simply burned in open air. However, wheat bran could be used in biorefineries for production of value-added products such as bioplastics, biofuels and chemicals as a substitute for fossil feedstocks as petroleum. Since wheat bran is an agri
