As of January 1, 2005, it will no longer be allowed under international trade rules for one country to impose import quotas on textiles and garments on another country. It is widely expected that the expiration of the 1974 Multifiber Arrangement will lead to a drastic re-shuffle of garment production and trade patterns. Where a number of countries were previously guaranteed a share of the European
Finansmarknaden genomgick stora förändringar innan 2000-talet och placeringsrådgivning kom att spela en allt viktigare roll. Tidigare hade det inte funnits lagstiftning på området, vilket man nu införde. Först kom Lag (2003:862) om finansiell rådgivning till konsumenter (FRL), därefter utfärdades ett EG-direktiv. Direktivet införlivades i svensk rätt genom Lag (2007:528) om värdepappersmarknaden (The Financial Market went through significant changes before the 2000’s and investments advisory played an increasingly important role. Earlier there had not been any legislation on the subject which there is now. The first legislation was the act of financial advisory and after that the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, MiFID came from the EU. MiFID was implemented into Swedish law thro
Authorship is important for career progression but it also implies responsibility for the integrity of work undertaken. There are variousguidelines for authorship, but with no clear definition and with tacitly agreed standards which vary between disciplines, it can be amatter of interpretation and negotiation who will be listed as an author. It is often not clear what contribution each person has
The MM500 meta-study aims to establish a knowledge basis of the tumor proteome to serve as a complement to genome and transcriptome studies. Somatic mutations and their effect on the transcriptome have been extensively characterized in melanoma. However, the effects of these genetic changes on the proteomic landscape and the impact on cellular processes in melanoma remain poorly understood. In thi
Some of the most important challenges in teaching Intelligence Analysis in anacademic context are to make the students reflect on their own biases and toconvey how group dynamics shape the analytical process. Only by learningthis can they understand the ease with which an individual or group slips intofamiliar patterns of thinking and thus fails to identify new, unexpecteddevelopments. According t
Dehydrogenase based bioelectrocatalysis has been increasingly exploited in recent years in order to develop new bioelectrochemical devices, such as biosensors and biofuel cells, with improved performances. In some cases, dehydrogeases are able to directly exchange electrons with an appropriately designed electrode surface, without the need for an added redox mediator, allowing bioelectrocatalysis
Pancreatic islet hormone secretion is central in the maintenance of blood glucose homeostasis. During development of hyperglycaemia, the β-cell is under pressure to release more insulin to compensate for increased insulin resistance. Failure of the β-cells to secrete enough insulin results in type 2 diabetes (T2D). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA molecules suitable for rapid regulation
ERP systems became popular with large organizations in the 1990s. In the 21st Century, these products were expanded by addition of supply chain management (SCM) and customer relationship management (CRM), as well as access through the Web, creating the ERP II concept. Efforts to increase the market led vendors to serve not only large organizations, but also focus more on small-to-medium sized ente
The “subsumption of nature” framework focuses on productivity increases and extractive innovations in nature-based industries. In this article, we argue that it can also be employed beyond that context in order to capture the convoluted dynamics of market environmentalism. To substantiate our argument, we draw on recent fieldwork on “Trees for Global Benefits,” a forestry-based offsetting project
Forskare har lyft fenomenet där medarbetaren numera tillskrivs en mer engagerad roll på olika plan i organisationen. Ett exempel är att sociala funktioner som tidigare framförallt använts för extern kommunikation även börjat dyka upp i interna sammanhang, där sociala intranät har blivit ett verktyg för denna nya medskapande roll. Syftet med uppsatsen är att, genom en fallstudie i form av intervjueResearchers have raised the phenomenon where co-workers now are ascribed a more engaged part at different organizational levels. One example is that social functions that previously have been used in external communication now have appeared in an internal context, where social intranets have become a tool for this new, co-creating part. The purpose of this thesis is to, through a case study using
BACKGROUND: Ecuador is a Spanish speaking country located in northwestern South America with an approximate population of 16 million people. It is considered a developing country. The public healthcare system is divided into three branches and there are also private services available. Musculoskeletal disorders are overly represented in the developing world, especially where poverty and rural livi
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Hjälper Nhandugue-flodens vatten Urema-sjön i Gorongosa Nationalpark, Moçambique, från att torka ut? I de centrala delarna av Moçambique ligger Gorongosa Nationalpark som skyddar ett omfattande ekosystem av flodplan, gräsmarker och skogsbeklädda områden. Efter drygt 20 år av inbördeskrig hade 1994 antalet stora däggdjur, så som lejon, zebror och bufflar, minskatGorongosa National Park in central Mozambique is situated at the southernmost extension of the East African Rift System (EARS), the Urema Rift. The park is protecting a vast ecosystem of floodplains, grasslands and woody coverage. From 20 years of civil war the large-mammal population in the park had in year 1994 been reduced by 90 % or more, and in 2004 a restoration project was started in order
Uppsatsen syftar till att diskutera om miljöbalkens målsättning är miljömässigt godtagbar. Frågeställningen är om innebörden av en hållbar utveckling utifrån den utveckling av begreppet som sker i relation till forskningen om planetära gränsvärden kan sägas vara inom ramen för målsättningen om hållbar utveckling i miljöbalkens portalparagraf. Först presenteras rättsvetarna Kim och Bosselmanns syThe purpose of this essay is to discuss if the objective of the Swedish Environmental Code (EC) is environmentally acceptable. The question asked is if the meaning of a sustainable development according to the development of the concept that is occurring in relation to research about planetary boundaries is within the scope of the objective of sustainable development in the preamble of the EC. At
This thesis strives to investigate and make sense of the complex regulations surrounding the availability of exploitable land along bodies of water in Sweden. With the Shore Protection regulations found in the Swedish Environmental Code it becomes apparent that most sought after land along the sea, lakes and running water for planning and construction in accordance to the Planning and Building Act
Through recent years, RNA has rapidly gone from mainly being known as a passive information-carrying molecule within the central dogma of molecular biology to becoming the active ingredient in multiple therapeutics, such as in vaccines and potential drugs against cancer. However, one of the main challenges with RNA as a therapeutic is efficient delivery to cells. Understanding the mechanism throug
The Council Directive 92/50/EEC of 18 June 1992 relating to the coordination of procedures for the award of public service contracts establishes shared rules and procedures for the award of public service contracts within the internal market. The directive defines the public service contract award criteria, contracting authorities are bound to apply. Purpose of this study is to demonstrate how leg
This thesis is a qualitative case study on greening policies in the Minawao Refugee Camp in far-northern Cameroon. It thoroughly investigates the actors and dynamics of humanitarian aid and specifically explores how environmental mainstreaming can shape humanitarian governance. The case was chosen due to its unique policies and programmes that aim to green the refugee camp and use a participat
In the medical industry, environmental considerations have lagged behind in order to focus on patient safety. A combination of both should be possible to achieve. In this report, focus have been on how environmental impacts can be lowered from disposable biomedical devices. In order to quantify the impact from a product, the method Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was used which gives a full life-cycle
