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
This dissertation examines how young people with Kurdish backgrounds form their identity in Sweden with regards to processes of inclusion and exclusion. It also sheds light on the ways these young people deal with ethnic discrimination and racism. Further, the study outlines the importance of these social processes for the discipline of social work and the ways social workers can work with disadva
A Linear e+e- collider, either ILC or CLIC will be the next platform for high energy physics study to complement the LHC. Results discovered by LHC may need precision measurements before we can get full understanding of the physics. International collaborations are in the process to prepare both for the accelerator and for the experimental setup. Time projection chambers as the main central track
Det kommunala bolaget Sydvatten AB ser till att det kommer rent och friskt dricksvatten ur våra kranar i sydvästra Skåne. Vattnet produceras vid Vombverket, ett vattenverk beläget ca 30 km öster om Lund och strax söder om Vombsjön. Vombverket består av 55 anlagda dammar där vatten som pumpas upp från Vombsjön får infiltrera ner i marken och bilda grundvatten. Från grundvattenmagasinet pumpas det sThe municipal limited liability company Sydvatten is meant to provide taps with clean and fresh drinking water at the south-western part of Skåne. The water is produced at Vombverket, the water installation located about thirty kilometres east of Lund. Vombverket consists of 55 infiltration dams where the water pumped up from Vombsjön is infiltrated to form ground water. The ground water is then p
Den 5 augusti 2012 trädde en lagändring gällande skatteavtalet mellan Sverige och Schweiz i kraft. I och med lagändringen så införs bland annat en helt ny bestämmelse om informationsutbyte. Bestämmelsen överensstämmer i stora delar med motsvarande bestämmelse i OECD:s modellavtal. I två avseenden skiljer sig skatteavtalets ordalydelse från modellavtalets. Det rör sig om två tillägg som finns i skaOn August 5th 2012, an amendment to the tax treaty between Sweden and Switzerland entered into force. With this amendment, a new provision on exchange of information was introduced. The provision is largely equal to the corresponding provision in the OECD model convention. However, the wording of the tax treaty differs from the model convention in two aspects, it regards two additions which are in
This thesis considers a number of problems concerning research and development in medium sized companies. In the thesis a company is studied in three dimensions. The first is the role of research and development in the studied company and which focus the organization should have. The second dimension is a measurement system for research and development. The third is how the department of research
Den här uppsatsen syftar till att redogöra för de beskattningskonsekvenser som inträder för ett dotterbolag när dess moderbolag efterger en fordran som det har på dotterbolaget. Det är vanligt förekommande att ett moderbolag lånar ut pengar till sitt dotterbolag och således innehar en lånefordran. Att därefter efterge fordran är en åtgärd som moderbolaget kan vidta för att exempelvis kapitalisera The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the tax consequences for a subsidiary upon a forgiveness of a receivable granted by its parent company. It is customary that a parent company lends capital to its subsidiary and therefore holds a receivable towards the subsidiary. One alternative for the parent company to capitalise its subsidiary is by forgiving the receivable. When forgiving a receivabl
Abstract Screening LCA has been used to gain further insight into the environmental performance of Gambrosol Trio, a fluid used in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) as a form of renal therapy. Gambrosol Trio (Trio) is produced and commercialised by Gambro AB, an international company with headquarters in Stockholm and historic roots in Lund, Sweden. The product's distinctive cha
Ett omdebatterat ämne inom svensk rätt är på vilket sätt de så kallade utnyttjandefallen, då gärningsmannen utnyttjat att en person befunnit sig i en särskilt utsatt situation (tidigare hjälplöst tillstånd), regleras i svensk rätt. Frågan huruvida den svenska, tvångsbaserade våldtäktslagstiftningen ger ett heltäckande skydd i dessa situationer, eller om en samtyckesreglering bör införas har diskutA heavily disputed area of Swedish law is how legislation shall regulate the situation where a sexual offender has taken advantage of a victim’s especially vulnerable position (earlier helpless condition). The question concerning the Swedish rape legislation is today of a force-based kind and it has been argued whether such legislation can offer a complete protection in such situations or whether
Functional food (FF) is a relatively new sector in the food industry. FF are products that have an added nutritional value for consumers that is communicated through nutritional and health claims, and act as preventive agents of chronic diseases. Innovation of new FF products has grown to become an important impact in research towards preventing welfare diseases. The rate of innovation in this fie
En välfungerande marknad för finansiella instrument spelar en central roll för positiv tillväxt i ett samhälle. Hoten mot en välfungerande marknad är dock flera och lagstiftaren har i omgångar intervenerat för att förebygga för marknaden skadliga beteenden. Två av dessa interventioner är förbuden mot marknadsmissbruk, vilka riktar sig mot skapandet och utnyttjandet av informationsasymmetrier. På gA well-functioning capital market is a vital part of any economy and its growth. However, the threats to a well-functioning market are several and the legislator has step by step intervened to prevent harmful behavior. Two of these interventions are the ban on insider trading and the ban market manipulation, aimed to prevent the creation and exploitation of informational asymmetries in the trading
There has been intense research in vehicular communication in order to provide reliable low-latency vehicular communication links for developing intelligent transportation system (ITS). As one of the important properties, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is learned to be inherently non-stationary due to the high mobility of both transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX). Therefore, the V2V system b
The purpose of this work is to investigate if Miljöbyggnad certification works well for a building company in different regions of Sweden, or if a new or revised working method needs to be developed. To achieve the purpose, the author bases the study from a couple of interviews. The conclusion of the study showed that the Miljöbyggnad certification is rarely required at the Swedish building comp
Aktieägaravtal är mycket vanligt förekommande i svenska privata aktiebolag. Avtalsformen är sprungen ur det praktiska rättslivet och saknar legaldefinition. Avtalen ger aktieägare möjlighet att värna om ägarintressen som avviker från ABLs värdemonistiska syn på aktiebolag som kapitalassociationer med rent vinstmaximeringssyfte. Det utbredda användandet av aktieägaravtal blottlägger den diskrepans Shareholder agreements are commonly used in Swedish limited companies. This is a type of contract that has evolved without any involvement from the legislator, and therefore lacks a legal definition. The contracts allow for the protection of shareholders' interests when they deviate from the monistic notion of the Swedish Companies Act, which states that limited companies are pure capitalist f
Denna uppsats fokuserar på idrottens spelaravtal och inriktar sig särskilt på dess avtalstolkning. För en djupare förståelse kring spelaravtalets bakgrund och kontext behandlar uppsatsen idrottsjuridiken som ett internationellt fenomen. Med detta i beaktande sker en betydande jämförelse mellan svensk och angloamerikansk rätt, men även en fördjupning kring angloamerikansk påverkan inom ramen för spThis thesis focuses on player’s contracts, and in particular the interpretation of such contracts. In order to deepen the understanding of the background and context of the player’s contracts, this thesis will treat sports law as an international phenomenon. With the internationalisation in consideration, there will be a comparison between Swedish and Anglo-American law, and also further discussio
Uppsatsen redogör för rättsläget kring olovligt spridande av privata bilder på internet. I dagsläget bedöms sådant spridande vanligtvis som förtal i Sverige. För att något ska utgöra förtal ska en uppgift ha spridits som varit ägnad att utsätta personen för andras missaktning. Bedömningen av huruvida en uppgift varit ägnad att utsätta en person för andras missaktning och huruvida personens ära bliThe subject of this essay is the legal situation regarding unauthorized distribution of private photos on the Internet. Today, such distribution is usually judged as defamation in Sweden. For something to constitute defamation, information shall have been spread that was intended to subject the person to other people's contempt. The determination of whether a statement was likely to expose a p
Ice-core records of the concentration of atmospheric CO2 and its stable isotope ratio (δ13C(a)) have shown that the global C cycle has not remained in steady-state over the past 11000 yr, implying a possible change in vegetation activity over this period. Here we evaluated the ecophysiological responses of the dwarf willow (Salix herbacea) over the past 9000 yr by measuring the stable carbon isoto
Nils Wohlin and the question of inheritance patternsIt has long been assumed that inheritance patterns varied strongly betweendifferent regions. In the early 20th century statistician Nils Wohlin made afamous account of Swedish inheritance patterns, claiming significant differences between Swedish provinces, especially between eastern and western Sweden. Newer studies of inheritance patterns have
In this licentiate thesis, I explore how two theoretical frameworks—social semiotics and the variation theory of learning—used in physics education research, can be fruitfully combined to obtain additional analytical tools for analysing student learning in introductory level university physics. Each theoretical framework has on their own, or together with other frameworks, been successfully applie
This study investigates the challenges and potential pathways for improved science communication, particularly in regards to research on the topic of smallholder food security and for science being generated by universities in sub-Saharan Africa. Questions asked in this study include those that aim to identify the academic substrate from which a university based in Africa must navigate. It also id
