The General Data Protection Regulation are coming as a response to the outdated Directive from 1995. With this, a lot tougher pressures are put on organisations regarding the demand for compliance, which is mainly done through higher penalties, giving organisations an in-citement to oblige. Seen from the perspective of information systems, organisations have to implement the requirements of the re
Syftet med denna uppsats är att ge en överblick över det nya, men snabbt växande, konceptet crowdsourcing. Konceptet kan enkelt beskrivas som en åtgärd att ta en uppgift som vanligtvis utförs av en utsedd arbetspresterande part (vanligtvis en anställd) och outsourca denna till en odefinerad, anonym och generellt stort grupp av människor i form av en ”öppen inbjudan”. Marknaden har under det senastThe purpose of this thesis is to provide an overview of the new, but rapidly growing, concept of crowdsourcing. The basis of the concept can be described as the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call. In the last couple of decades, the market has exploded
This thesis seeks to answer what causes some governments to restrict foreign funding to domestic civil society organizations while others do not. These repressive measures have increased significantly in all regions of the globe recently and existing research has yet to provide an encompassing explanation for the trend. Considering that neither foreign funding or government repression are exactly
Nukleosynthes i ackretionsskrivor kring svarta hål. Hur bildas atomerna som bygger upp oss människor - till exempel atomer av kol, syre eller kalcium? Den idag gâllande teorin är att lättare atomer såsom väte, helium och litium skapades vid "Big Bang", medan en supernova från en döende stjärna producerade och frigjorde bland annat kol, syre, kalcium och järn. Det som stjärnnor och Big BNucleosynthesis is the mechanism which produces new elements in nuclear reactions. Nuclear reaction rates are highly temperature dependant, and nuclear reactions take place in very hot environments. Current theories predict that the light elements such as hydrogen and helium were produced during the Big Bang. On the other hand, the core of stars produce heavier elements through nuclear fusion. The
By the beginning the second decade of twentieth century, a new regime came to power in Iran. While considering the Iranian society, her institutions, mechanisms and structures as a backward and dysfunctional one, the new regime started to set up a new order, based on modern values. In this case, old urban structures were among those aspects of the Iranian culture and society which were selected a
Allting är uppbyggt av atomer, inte bara träd, djur eller bläcket i dessa bokstäver, utan även astronomiska objekt så som stjärnor och planeter. Stjärnor är i princip extremt varma och kompakta moln av atomer, som skickar ut ljus i alla riktningar. Astronomer är intresserade av vilken sammansättning av atomer som bygger upp stjärnor eftersom detta hjälper dem att förstå hur stjärnor och galaxer biStellar abundances are important for understanding the chemical evolution of galaxies and provide us with constraints on stellar evolution and supernova nucleosynthesis. To determine stellar abundances accurately, atomic data is crucial. This data is incomplete for many elements, especially in the infrared region. In particular, hyperfine structure (hfs) data in the near-infrared region is lacking
Sverige präglas idag av en stark urbaniseringstrend, där inflyttning främst sker till våra tre storstadsregioner. Ett problem som försvårar urbaniseringen är att utbudet av bostäder inte möter den stora efterfrågan som uppstått. Byggbar mark i centrala lägen betraktas dessutom ofta som fullt ianspråktagen. På så vis har en diskussion om möjligheter att effektivisera markanvändningen uppstått. DettToday, Sweden is characterized by a strong urbanisation trend, where occupation mainly takes place in our three metropolitan regions, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. A problem that complicates the urbanisation is the fact that supply does not meet the demand of housing, which has arisen in these areas. In addition, buildable land in central areas is often considered to be fully claimed. Thus, a d

Denna uppsats avhandlar förvaltningen av dödsbo och det skydd som borgenärer har för sina fordringar både enligt ärvdabalken och enligt annan lagstiftning. Den rättsliga reglering som omgärdar dödsboförvaltning är till åren kommen och är i visst behov av att sättas i en nutida kontext. Uppsatsen utmynnar i slutsatsen att samtidigt som borgenärsskyddet är starkt, främst med avseende på ärvdabalkensThis thesis is about the administration of Swedish decedent estates and the creditors’ financial security of claims according to Swedish legislation. The legal regulation on the administration of descendent estates is dated and has some need to be updated. The findings of the thesis are as follows: the creditor’s security has a strong status, primarily due to the inheritance code’s requirement of

Lignin accounts for 15 – 30 % of plant biomass, but is till today remarkably underutilized, mainly due to its heterogeneity and recalcitrance towards depolymerization. The bacterial conversion of lignin into value added chemicals is a highly promising approach to overcome this underutilization and can help to improve the economic competitiveness of the biorefinery concept. In the current study, 1
