The observation in the 1940s, that children to mothers having rubella in the first part of the pregnancy experienced elevated health risks in later life led to a growing interest into whether fetal exposure to other – less severe – diseases could cause health problems as well. Epidemiological studies of the fetal origins of later life health that followed found that, while this indeed was the case
The term self-determination is embedded in much difficulty. It is a term whose meaning has developed considerably from its first intended usage. Today, in a world that is in several respects becoming smaller and more conformed, certain peoples claim rights they have previously not been granted in order to protect their subsistence and preserve their culture. The Sami is one of these peoples. This
Kreditsäkerheter i fartyg kan upplåtas genom ett flertal olika konstruktioner. Denna uppsats avhandlar tre utav dessa varianter; sjöpanträtt i fartyg, retentionsrätt och ägarförbehåll till helt fartyg. Sjöpanträtt i fartyg är en legal panträtt som i princip inte kan upplåtas genom avtal. Sjöpanträtt uppkommer som en giltig sakrätt endast för sådan skada som har ett direkt samband med fartygets veCredit securities in ships can be provided for by several different constructions. This thesis focuses on three of these varieties; maritime liens in ships, right to retention and title reservations in ships. Maritime liens in ships is a legally granted right that principally cannot be obtained by contractual agreements. Maritime liens evolve as a valid right in rem only for such situations speci
In Kenya, the government is promoting high-value and drought resistant crop varieties in an effort to reduce poverty in rural areas. Sugar beet is one such crop. This study was conducted with two objectives: 1) to assess the opportunities and challenges for sugar beet cultivation and adoption in the Nyandarua district of Kenya and 2) to assess whether sugar beet adoption can offer an opportunity f
Clinical blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is becoming increasingly valuable in, e.g., presurgical planning, but the commonly used gradient-echo echo-planar imaging (GE-EPI) technique is sometimes hampered by macroscopic field inhomogeneities. This can affect the degree of signal change that will occur in the GE-EPI images as a response to neural
Archaeologists have often felt uneasy when encountering alternative (fringe, cult, fantastic, pseudo-) archaeologies. Some have suggested that alternative approaches and their results must be disproved, while others have been calling for better public understanding of science. My contribution takes a different point of view. I emphasize the social and cultural needs that both scientific and altern
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bankerna har under de senaste decennierna konfronterats med och genomgått stora förändringar. En global ekonomi har vuxit fram och konkurrensen inom banksektorn har hårdnat, vilket bl a har resulterat i mindre räntemarginaler på lån och krediter. En konsekvens av detta är att man har tvingats minska resurserna som spenderas på varje enskild kund, vilket i sin tur har leThe competition in the banking industry has during the last decades been intensified resulting in smaller interest margins. As a consequence, the resources spent on each credit customer have had to be decreased, resulting in less interaction and a perceived limited access to valuable information. This has especially been the case in the banks´credit management of small firms. Earlier research app
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen beskriver och analyserar hur människor som arbetar i ett företag som blir uppköpt upplever uppköpsprocessen. Författaren lyfter fram de många olika tolkningar och upplevelser som finns av uppköpet istället för att ge en homogen återgivning. Författaren hävdar att för att kunna förstå vad som händer i ett företag under en uppköpsprocess så måste man beakta dWhile the human side of mergers and acquisitions is increasingly focused in both research and practice, it still suffers from several forms of oversimplifications. This study addresses the problem of how various employees interpret objectives, corporate identity and other meanings associated with the post-acquisition process, and what roles these multiple interpretations play during this critical
Lag(1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade trädde i kraft den första januari 1994 som en rättighetslag. Syftet var att människor med funktionsnedsättning skulle få ökad livskvalitet. Genom lagen ville samhället skapa en möjlighet för de som får insatser ”att leva ett liv som andra”. Lagen var planerad som en del av en helhet, där handikappolitikens generella och individuella deLag (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade, which is an Act of individual rights, came into effect in January 1994. Its purpose was to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities and to create opportunities for people with disabilities to enable to live a life like any other. The Act was intended to be a part of a whole in which the general and individual parts of
Våld mot kvinnor är ett av de mest allvarliga brotten mot internationella mänskliga rättigheter i världen. Det bekräftar underordningen av kvinnor, den patriarkatiska normgivningen och den otillräckliga implementationen av mänskliga rättigheter. Det här arbetet utreder vad våld i hemmet består av i Indien och i Sverige. I Indien är detta fokuserat på dowry-våld och i Sverige är ”vanligt” våld i heViolence against women is one of the most serious international human rights breaches in the world. It reaffirms the subordination of women, the patriarchal standard setting and insufficient implementation of human rights. This thesis investigates what domestic violence consists of in India and in Sweden. In India this is focused on dowry violence and in Sweden “ordinary” domestic violence and hon
Non-technical summary Agriculture provides many benefits to people, such as producing food and creating jobs in rural areas, but it can also have negative impacts on the environment. We analysed existing monitoring indicators for the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) to evaluate whether the CAP is effectively achieving multiple social and environmental goals. We found that the curr

Den här uppsatsen handlar om de förändringar på bästa tillgängliga teknik, d.v.s. BAT, som implementeringen av industriutsläppsdirektivet (IED) har inneburit. Syftet är att diskutera hur och på vilket sätt BAT har utvecklats i Sverige till följd av IED. BAT tillhör de allmänna hänsynsreglerna vilket gör den central vid all form av yrkesmässig verksamhet. I sammanhanget är principen om BAT tillämpThis thesis regards the changes to Best Available Techniques, BAT, which the implementation of the Industrial Emissions Directive, IED, has brought on. The purpose is to discuss how and in which ways BAT has developed in Sweden as a result of IED. BAT belongs to the general rules of consideration which makes it central in all forms of professional operation. In context the principal of BAT is app
For me, life in this city begins and ends with artist-initiated networks, where energies and programmes are constantly opening and ending, keeping pace with the rate at which artist’s studios are closed and relocated. These networks establish where work is developed, shown, or both, and they affirm what is missing as much as what is made. The affective affinities that enable these associations als
A search is presented for the production of a single top quark via left-handed flavour-changing neutral-current (FCNC) interactions of a top quark, a gluon and an up or charm quark. Two production processes are considered: u+ g→ t and c+ g→ t. The analysis is based on proton–proton collision data taken at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The data set correspond
Context. OH/IR stars are examples of late stellar evolution on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB), and they are, as such, important objects to study. They are also excellent probes of stellar populations, in particular in regions of high interstellar extinction such as the central regions of our Galaxy. Aims. Our goal is to characterise the stellar and circumstellar properties of high-mass-loss-rat
The catalytic oxidation of HCl by molecular oxygen (Deacon process) over ceria allows the recovery of molecular chlorine from the omnipresent HCl waste produced in various industrial processes. In previous density functional theory (DFT) model-calculations by Amrute et al. [ J. Catal. 2012, 286, 287−297.], it was proposed that the most critical reaction step in this process is the displacement of
The molecular sensitivity provided by optical photons has potential advantages in medical diagnostics, for example, in distinguishing healthy from cancerous tissue. However, scattering resulting from inhomogeneities in the refractive index of tissues prevents spatially resolved optical measurements in biological material, except at very shallow depths. This thesis presents research on a medical im
Background: In Europe, the frequency, intensity, and geographic range of West Nile virus (WNV)-outbreaks have increased over the past decade, with a 7.2-fold increase in 2018 compared to 2017, and a markedly expanded geographic area compared to 2010. The reasons for this increase and range expansion remain largely unknown due to the complexity of the transmission pathways and underlying disease dr
