A magnetic particle-based immuno-supported liquid membrane assay (m-ISLMA) based on chemiluminescence detection of a horseradish peroxidase-labeled hapten tracer that allows sample cleanup, analyte enrichment, and detection in a single analysis unit has been developed. Antibodies were immobilized on magnetic beads, and their position in the acceptor was controlled by two alternating opposing elect
This thesis sets out to examine which tax consequences might arise when moving a closely held company abroad, according to Internal Law, European Community Law (EC Law) and Double Taxation Treaties. To be able to illustrate the tax consequences I have chosen to look at a specific case where a shareholder undertakes a sale of shares of his Swedish company to a foreign company also owned by him. The
Guaranteeing reliable access to water and clean energy has been one of the most debated topics to promote sustainable development, which has made the Water–Energy Nexus (WEN) a relevant field of study. However, despite much development of the WEN, there are still many gaps to be addressed. One of these gaps is the understanding of temporal features. To address this, this study aimed to identify, c
Imaging the interaction between different combustion species under turbulent flame conditions requires methods that both are extremely fast and provide means to spectrally separate different signals. Current experimental solutions to achieve this often rely on using several cameras that are time-gated and/or equipped with different spectral filters. In this work we explore a technique called Frequ
BACKGROUND: Understanding the patterns of HIV/AIDS epidemics is crucial to tracking and monitoring the progress of prevention and control efforts in countries. We provide a comprehensive assessment of the levels and trends of HIV/AIDS incidence, prevalence, mortality, and coverage of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for 1980-2017 and forecast these estimates to 2030 for 195 countries and territories.M
Vegetation growth in Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a crucial process for quantifying ecohydrological modelling, as it influences evapotranspiration, interception, soil erosion and biomass production. The simplified version of Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) in SWAT was originally designed for temperate regions and naturally based on temperatur
Ethnography is a very abstract concept, but often perceived as a very concrete practice, but what is hidden in the slippage between the abstract and concrete, as ethnography moves. While a great deal has been written and debated about the practices, methods and outcomes of applied research, and we appreciate these debates, our own point of departure lies in a curiosity over what happens in the pro
Denna uppsats försöker belysa huruvida en digital konsumtionsprincip inom EU finns, och om en sådan inte finns ifall den kan skapas och huruvida det ens är lämpligt. Konsumtionsprincipen gör det möjligt för en konsument att sälja vidare upphovsrättsskyddat material utan att en upphovsrättsinnehavare kan hindra detta med hänvisning till sin exklusiva spridningsrätt. Traditionellt har denna princip This essay aims to shine light on whether a digital exhaustion doctrine can be said to exist within the EU, and if not whether it could be created and whether this is even suitable. The exhaustion doctrine gives a consumer the right to sell copyrighted materials without the copyright holder being able to stop this with reference to the exclusive distribution right. Traditionally, exhaustion has on
Bevisföringen i svensk rätt förutsätter muntlighet, omedelbarhet och koncentration och har gjort det sedan den nya Rättegångsbalkens ikraftträdande på mitten av 1900-talet. Principerna har ansetts som förutsättningar för den fria bevisvärderingen och kan på många sätt förklaras som reaktioner på den tidigare gällande processordningen i Sverige. Brottmålsförfarandet delades med den nya RättegångsbaThe submission of evidence in Swedish law presupposes orality, momentum and concision and has done so since the new Code of Conduct entered into force in the mid-20th century. The principles have been considered as conditions for the free assessment of evidence and can in many ways be explained as reactions to the previous procedural system in Sweden. The criminal procedure was earlier divided int
Purpose: The main purposes of this study is to a) evaluate the suitability of a Varian aS1000 EPID as a safe quality assurance device for control of machine specific parameters, such as linac output, beam quality and beam symmetry, and b) to investigate the usefulness of the SPC concept for evaluation of the obtained data. Method and Materials: Measurements were performed using a Varian Clinac 23
The aim of this study is to empirically investigate the impact of credit ratings on European firms’ capital structure decisions based on the premise of Darren Kisgen’s Credit Ratings–Capital Structure (CR-CS) hypothesis: that firms face discrete costs (benefits) associated with differences in credit rating levels. This project's empirical investigations are based on historical data from Stand
Utveckling av jordbrukssektorn är en av de viktigaste prioriteringarna för den Etiopiska staten när det kommer till att upprätthålla landets ekonomiska utveckling. Ett sätt att uppnå detta är att satsa på storskaliga utvecklingsprojekt inom jordbruket, till exempel Tana Beles Sugar Development Project som den här uppsatsen kretsar kring. För att kunna anlägga detta har stora landarealer tagits i aDevelopment of the agricultural sector is among the top priorities for the Ethiopian government in order to keep up the economic development in the country. One way of reaching this is to undertake large-scale development projects, such as the Tana Beles Sugar Development Project described in this thesis. For this, large areas of land are required for the plantations. This land is expropriated fro
Oxygen concentrators are relatively small medical devices that concentrates oxygen from the ambient air next to the patient. They are widely used in low resource settings and in the home health care. For larger hospitals in Sweden and similar countries however, the most common oxygen source is liquid oxygen and oxygen cylinders, delivered from an off-site supplier. Liquid oxygen is often not an op
Purpose: Investigate and clarify differences in the capital structure between non-profit and listed real estate companies on the Swedish market. Furthermore, the study intends to test how previous theories about capital structure with leverage as a dependent variable are able to explain the causal relationship between the studied forms of company and their capital structure. Method: A quantitativ
Turbomachinery design is based on multiple physical thermodynamical relations and fluid mechanics. Software implementing these relations in computing fluid flows have been broadly accessible since the 1990’s and has also become more applied to turbomachinery design. However, the software is unfortunately a large expense on research and development departments. Cambridge Professor Emeritus John D.
Adaptation of modern Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and multispectral sensor technology in agriculture can enhance the capacity to accurately monitor crops. But these technologies come with its own set of challenges. The major challenge is the understanding of radiometric distortions, which is particularly important while comparing data over different lighting conditions. The study developed and as
