Methodology: The study uses fixed effects models with robust standard errors clustered by firm with year effects and provides several robustness checks by altering the dependent variable in our analysis. Theoretical perspectives: The theoretical framework

Alla människor har rätt till hälsa enligt artikel 12 Konventionen om ekonomiska, sociala och kulturella rättigheter (ICESCR) och artikel 35 i EU:s rättighetsstadga (stadgan). För många människor är läkemedel livsviktiga. Emellertid har läkemedelsbolag med patenträttigheter en möjlighet till fri prissättning. Företag behöver tjäna pengar för att kunna forska fram nya produkter och läkemedelsbolag kAccess to pharmaceuticals can be vital for a lot of people. The public’s right to health is ensured by article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and by article 35 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European union (the EU Charter). However, pharmaceutical companies with patent rights can charge whatever price they want on medicines. Companies

Miljöförstöring och habitatdegradering har blivit pressande globala frågor de senaste åren, vilket hotar överlevnaden för mänskliga samhällen och de naturliga system som upprätthåller liv på jorden. Romstadgan, grundfördraget för Internationella brottmålsdomstolen (ICC), fastställer fyra centrala internationella brott, folkmord, brott mot mänskligheten, krigsförbrytelser och aggressionsbrott. Det The urgency of environmental destruction and deterioration has increased recently since it threatens both the survival of human societies and the natural systems that sustain life on Earth. The four primary international crimes included in the Rome Statute, the law that established the International Criminal Court (ICC), are genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and act of aggression.

Hålla tarmbakterier i schack hos unga möss Efter födseln exponeras ett spädbarn för den yttre miljön för första gången. Detta innebär exponering för ett stort antal bakterier och virus. Spädbarn är mer benägna att bli infekterade av bakterier och virus än vuxna. Hos vuxna kan antikroppen Immunoglobulin A (IgA) hjälpa till att hålla bakterier och virus i schack genom att omsluta dem och agera som The period after birth, when an infant is initially exposed to vast amounts of environmental and microbial antigens, sets the stage for proper immune system development ensuing lifelong immunity. Simultaneous to this first-time exposure, the nursing mother provides immune protection via antibodies in the breast milk. Secretory Immunoglobulin A, as provided by the mother or produced intrinsically i

The hydropower plant at upper Finsjö is situated in the south-eastern part of Sweden. It is owned and operated by E.ON Vattenkraft Sverige AB. The dams are built in the beginning of the 20th century and regarding the safety of the dams they are in need of repairs. As an alternative, E.ON wants to investigate the possibility of building a new dam further downstream of the existing ones and thus mak

Använda immateriella rättigheter för att öka ett företags hållbara påverkan Immateriella rättigheter är verktyg för att stimulera innovation och investeringar i forskning och utveckling för att främja tillväxt och har traditionellt använts för ekonomiska intressen före miljömässig och social påverkan. Forskningsprojektet IPACST, som forskar på immateriella tillgångars roll för att accelerera en hIntellectual Property Rights, IPR, are tools to incentivize innovation and investment in Research and Development (R&D) to promote growth and are traditionally used for economic interests before environmental and social concerns. The research project IPACST has developed a business tool kit for supporting organizations in designing their IP models to increase environmental and social impact. T

The need to curb global warming is evident, and efficient climate policies are essential. But within the democratic context, public support for climate politics is needed to implement mitigation efforts. Sweden has long been known as a forerunner for climate change mitigation, however, there are indications that the voters’ interest in climate politics is waning. This study aims to visualize the e

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling syftar till att ge en översikt över cirka hundra år av europeisk intellektuell historia som lyfter fram nya aspekter av de klassiska tänkarna. Analysen av de fyra filosoferna Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, David Hume och Charles de Montesquieu syftar till att belysa en generell historisk process, nämligen hur den moderna människosynen växer fram i Europa. EThis essay has three main aims. The first one is to give an overview of some hundred years of European intellectual history, bringing out new aspects of the classical thinkers. The analysis of the four philosophers Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, David Hume and Charles de Montesquieu aims at illustrating a general historical process, viz. the emergence of the modern view of man in Europe. After Hobbes,

Different simulation and modeling tools often use their own definition of how a model is represented and how model data is stored. Complications arise when trying to model parts in one tool and importing the resulting model in another tool or when trying to verify a result by using a different simulation tool. The Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) is a standard to provide a unified model executio

Popular Abstract in Swedish Faktor IX (FIX) är en molekyl som behövs för att blodet ska koagulera. Brist på FIX leder till blödarsjuka. För att öka den grundläggande förståelsen av hur FIX fungerar har vi gjort studier av en bit av FIX, som kallas för EGF1. EGF1 är en av två EGFmoduler som finns i FIX. De kallas EGFmoduler för att de liknar en annan molekyl, Epidermal Growth Factor. I denna avhandCoagulation factor IX (FIX) is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease zymogen that circulates in plasma. Defects in FIX cause the bleeding disorder hemophilia B. FIX contains a Gla module, two Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) -like modules and a serine protease region. In this thesis, studies have been performed on the N-terminal EGF module, which binds one Ca2+. — The present results show that bindin

OBJECTIVE--To explore associations between exposure to asbestos cement dust and radiographic findings in lung parenchyma and pleura. METHODS--Radiographs from 174 blue collar workers and 29 white collar workers from an asbestos cement plant formed one part of the study. Progression of small opacities was further studied in those 124 blue collar workers, for whom two radiographs taken after the end

The aim of this study was to describe the types and extent of eating difficulties, the need for assistance when eating, the nutritional status and pressure ulcers in consecutive patients (n = 162) admitted for stroke rehabilitation over a period of 1 year. Structured observations and assessments of eating, nutritional status (subjective global assessment of nutritional status), pressure ulcers and

Input data for communication network design/optimization problems involving multi-hour or uncertain traffic can consist of a large set of traffic matrices. These matrices are explicitly considered in problem formulations for link dimensioning. However, many of these matrices are usually dominated by others so only a relatively small subset of matrices would be sufficient to obtain proper link capa

Previous studies identified serine, cysteine and metalloproteases in normal aqueous humours (AH) and suggested that a balance between proteases and their inhibitors may play a role in the modulation of the AH outflow. We aimed to determine whether secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), a serine protease inhibitor, is present in AH of patients with cataract and other eye pathologies. AH was
