The progress made in the field of patents on pharmaceuticals the last fifteen years, has been of continuous change and adaptation. From the introduction of the TRIPS Agreement in 1995, where patents on pharmaceuticals became a necessity for all Member States of the WTO, to today, where a ratification of the TRIPS Amendment is ongoing, and might be a mean to enhance access to medicine for all peopl
Weichselisens avsmältningsskede i Skåne var mycket komplicerat, vilket har föranlett en stundtals svårtolkad glacialmorfologi. I de norra och centrala delarna av Skåne retirerade isen mot norr och nordost, samtidigt som södra Skåne och Danmark berördes av lobformade isframstötar från en baltisk isström från söder- och sydost. Sedan länge har forskning pågått för att finna lösningen på isens rörelsThe deglaciation of the Weichselian ice sheet was very complicated and the resulting landscape has been perplexing different researchers throughout the 20th century. In the northern parts of Scania, the ice sheet receded towards north and northeast, while a dynamic ice stream with fast flowing ice influenced southern Scania and Denmark. The earlier researchers have mainly focused on striae, the di

As IT service departments in organisations are becoming more complex and customised, the indirect costs are increasing in relation to the total costs. The difficulty of fully estimating and identifying the spread of the cost in the IT service department is increasing. As a result, firms tend to budget the business unit as a total cost rather than as a spread of defined costs. In order to deal with
This thesis examines a project that has been conducted at a software development company. The aim is to investigate which problems firms of this kind faces performing projects. We choose a theoretical frame consisting of a modern view on how to manage projects. The view argues that the management of each project has to be adapted to the situation at hand. This theory is divided into two separate s
Social considerations in public procurement concerns the using of public procurement as a tool in order to achieve political goals of a social nature, such as to reduce unemployment, to ensure a safe and healthy work environment or to combat discrimination. This is potentially a controversial issue since it might come into conflict with public procurement legislation. But the laws concerning this
Alla vill vi vara måna om vår kropp och hälsa och ett bra sätt att göra det på kan vara att dricka ett glas ProViva varje dag. ProViva är en fruktdryck med en levande bakteriekultur bestående av Lactobacillus plantarum 299v. Denna mjölksyrabakterie har vetenskaplig dokumenterad effekt, så kallad probiotika, och kan vara till stor nytta för obalanserade magar. Apelsinjuice är en populär vän på frukTo be able to produce an orange flavoured ProViva, a fruit drink containing oatmeal formula with the probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum 299v, it is essential to inhibit the co-metabolism of citrate performed by the bacteria. Orange is namely a fruit containing high concentration of citric acid. By the end of shelf-life, the co-metabolism will result in an increase of an unwanted carbonatio
Ny teknik på företaget Maersk Oil har möjliggjort en effektivare avbildning av den ytnära berggrunden som tidigare förblivit dolda. Denna nya metod leder förhoppningsvis till en mer säker kartläggning av geologiska risker. Ett viktigt framsteg där både liv och miljö kan sparas. Tänk dig en exploderande oljerigg, orsakat av att någon ovetandes borrat rakt in i en gasficka i den ytnära berggrunden.The main objective of this master's thesis is to evaluate a new processing method for extracting seismic conventional 3D streamer deep target data for shallow subsurface imaging. Deep target acquisitions have greater potential than it's conventional use. The aim of these acquisitions is to discover natural resources, in particular oil and gas, at several kilometres of depth.

The mechanical performance of the copper brazed heat exchanger is to a great extent determined by the properties of the copper braze joints. It is not yet exactly known how different parameters such as the weight of copper per joint, plate material composition and furnace
A range of neuroradiological findings has been reported in patients with COVID-19, some mimicking cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). We present a case of a man in his 50s with severe COVID-19, who was Glasgow Coma Scale 3 and tetraparetic after sedation was ceased in the intensive care unit. Return of consciousness and motor activity was slow. An MRI 1 month after debut of symptoms demonstrated
Background Functional Somatic Disorders (FSD) and Internalizing Psychiatric Disorders (IPD) are frequently comorbid and likely share familial/genetic risk factors. Methods We performed a Common Factor Multivariate Analysis of 2 FSDs, Fibromyalgia (FM) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and two IPDs, Major Depression (MD) and Anxiety Disorders (AD), in five kinds of Swedish female-female relative
We assessed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk associated with smoking and alcohol consumption and their interactions, using both questionnaire data and objective serum biomarkers. Information on smoking and alcohol consumption was collected at baseline from 450,112 participants of the EPIC cohort, among whom 255 developed HCC after a median follow-up of 14 years. In a nested case–control subset
Vitrified bonded aluminum oxide grinding wheels are widespread in use for many applications in grinding, such as internal plunge grinding. However, there are challenges when it comes to the measurement, analysis and (geometric) modeling of their topography, which is crucial to understand and model the influence of the topography on the process behavior. Methodological advances allow for the detail
Biopolymers are interesting materials from a sustainable point of view. Especially since consumers increasingly demand environmental friendly packages as well as more convenient packages with easy open and close features on the packages. The demands for convenient packages lead to more and more plastics in the packaging industry. The purpose with this project is to find out typical properties of

In this master thesis it is investigated where the housing shortage that Sweden faces in 2003 comes from. Starting from two alternative scenarios, a scapegoat is looked for: either the industry is responsible for lowering the supply of housing by increasing the cost of dwellings through illegal cartel agreements, or the state is to be blamed for distorting market forces through an inadequate housi
We urgently need to move from a fossil-based to a bio-based society. From a Swedish perspective, a promising way forward are biorefineries with an integrated production of materials, chemicals, and energy from the softwood species Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Norway spruce (Picea abies). A diverse set of process routes will be necessary to produce all intermediates and commercial products. In
