The main sustainability goal of many small islands in the North Sea is to become self supplied in renewable energy in 20-30 years. The majority of the islands are trying to repeat Samsø‘s success – to make a transition towards energy sustainable system by new energy production from local renewable sources such as wind, solar and biomass. However, for other islands like Spiekeroog island, a tourist
The purpose of my thesis is to understand in what ways economic and productive transnationalisation affects political and social participation in the local level. Particularly, what I wish to explore are the effects of integration into the global economy over labour movements in peripheral regions. I study the ways in which workers of salmon firms in the areas of Puerto Montt and Chiloé organise a
This study aims to clarify the current state of the law regarding the prohibition of dismissal in the context of transfers of undertakings in Sweden and Germany. The prohibition of dismissal originates from Article 4.1 of the Transfer Directive (2001/23/EC) and is an integral part of the European Union’s employment protection framework, primarily aimed to protect employments by restricting dismiss
En av de mest betydelsefulla grundpelarna i den svenska brottmålsprocessen är att ingen ska dömas på felaktiga grunder och för att eliminera felaktiga fällande domar måste det finnas ett strängt beviskrav. Syftet med detta arbete är att utifrån gällande beviskrav ställt utom rimligt tvivel utröna vad beviskravet innebär samt hur det tillämpas och tolkas i mordfall. Vidare ämnar framställningen ock
Prior articles and reports have named Credit Default Swap (CDS) spreads as a plausible indicator of default risk. In this report, the authors present a significant correlation between CDS spreads and two other more acknowledged methods of measuring default risk probabilities; the modified Merton model and credit ratings from the rating institute Moody’s. The tests are implemented by Spearman’s ran
Konkurrensrätt och immaterialrätt har länge betraktats vara rättsområden som skyddar motstående intressen. En av de regleringar som finns för att underlätta förhållandet mellan de två rättsområdena är kommissionens förordning nr 772/2004 för grupper av avtal om tekniköverföring. Genom denna förordning önskar kommissionen garantera en effektiv konkurrens på marknaden samt erbjuda företag som ingår Competition Law and Intellectual Property Law are sometimes considered as areas of law which protect conflicting interests. One of the regulations striving to facilitate the relationship between these two areas is Regulation 772/2004, on the application of article 101.1 TFEU to categories of technology transfer agreements. The objectives of this Regulation are to ensure effective competition and t
Gruvdrift i yttre rymden har under de senaste åren vuxit fram som en reell möjlighet. Privata företag ligger i bräschen med att utveckla ny teknik för att uppnå utnyttjandet av resurser i yttre rymden. De rättsliga förutsättningarna är fortfarande ett hinder för sådana aktiviteter då de stora rymdfördragen inte uttryckligen förbjuder eller tillåter det. Problemet kring denna typ av gruvdrift har aMining in outer space has in recent years emerged as a real possibility. Private companies are at the forefront of developing new technology to achieve the exploitation of resources in outer space. The legal conditions are still a barrier because of that the large space treaties do not expressly prohibit or allows such a venture. The problem surrounding this type of mining has materialized even mo
Purpose of study: As both innovations and brand loyalty are becoming ever more important for companies today, it is of importance to understand how an organisation can handle the relationship between the explorative and exploitative units when working with these two constructs. The ultimate aim is to understand how service organisations can be managed in order to enhance brand loyalty through serv
The aim of this research project was to create a bioinformatic image analysis pipeline for the investigation of lymphocytes in healthy human lungs. The lung is an important organ to study as it provides a fast way for pathogens to enter the body. Therefore, the pulmonary immune system must be further investigated in both healthy and diseased tissue. In order to do comparative studies, we need to c
The objective of this thesis was the impact evaluation of several parameters affecting daylight conditions in a typical cellular office in Lund, Sweden. The research approach that was followed consisted of three distinct steps; the literature review in order to specify the dependent and independent variables of the study, the simulation part to produce daylight performance data and the graphical a
The United Kingdom’s response to the pressing biodiversity decline in England includes the Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) policy and is operationalised through DEFRA’s Biodiversity Metric, which quantifies biodiversity into ‘biodiversity units’. This thesis evaluates how effectively the metric reflects real biodiversity outcomes at the rewilded Knepp Estate in West Sussex. Using 2005 as a baseline an
Background: While cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the gold-standard psychological treatment for major depression (MD), non-response and lacking stability of treatment gains are persistent issues. Potential factors influencing treatment outcome might be lifetime trauma history and possibly associated primarily prefrontal-cortex- and hippocampus-dependent cognitive alterations. Method: We inve
For over 30 years GIS has been a major theme in archaeology, leading scholars to debate the way geo-spatial platforms can contribute to a better understanding of the ancient landscape and a more thorough interpretation of the archaeological record. Recently, the introduction of more advanced software and hardware solutions have made it possible to use GIS for visualizing and analysing even geometr
Background: Hyperuricemia (HU) is in the causal pathway for developing clinical gout. There are few population-based assessments of the absolute and relative risk of clinically diagnosed incident gout in subjects with HU. We aimed to explore the long-term risk of developing incident gout among asymptomatic adults with different levels of serum urate (SU). Methods: Malmö Preventive Project was a po
The aim of this paper is to present the construction of a male genetic linkage map as a result of the bovine genome mapping project, which is a common effort of the German cattle breeding federation (ADR), four animal breeding institutes, three blood group laboratories and two animal data and breeding value evaluation centres. In total 20 grandsires with 1074 sires were provided from the German ca
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett glas mjölk innehåller ungefär tusen miljarder små oljedroppar. Varje droppe är en tusendels millimeter stor. Dropparna är suspenderade i en blandning av vatten, proteiner och lösta molekyler. Små droppar av olja i vatten brukar kallas emulsioner. Emulsioner är vanliga beståndsdelar i livsmedel och finns exempelvis i allehanda mjölkprodukter, såser, smeter och dressiDifferent approaches and sub-models for the modelling of emulsification in a high-pressure homogenizer are reviewed and compared in terms of both practical aspects and how well they describe what is currently known on the emulsification process in general and on high-pressure homogenization in particular. Special effort is devoted to comparing the model developments presented in the appended paper
