Öresundsregionen är en mycket aktiv region med över tjugotusen människor som arbetspendlar dagligen. Rent fysiskt är det idag lättare att pendla över Öresund än förr, tack vare Öresundsbron. Det finns dock andra hinder. Sveriges regler för sociala avgifter och på inkomstskatteområdet skiljer sig en hel del från Danmarks och denna diskrepans kan ge upphov till vissa problem.

Uppsatsen undersöker hur rättsfiguren ”urminnes hävd”, som enligt 1 § rennäringslag (1971:437) utgör grunden för samernas renskötselrätt, har hanterats i fem statliga utredningar om renskötande samers markrättigheter under perioden 1886 – 2006. Utredningarna betraktas som fem historiskt präglade uppfattningar om samers rätt, men inte som representationer av samtliga diskussioner som under tidsperiThis bachelor’s thesis investigates five government inquiries regarding property rights for reindeer husbandry during the period 1883 to 2006. It looks at how the legal entity “urminnes hävd” (prescription from time), which according to 1 § Reindeer Husbandry Act (1971:437) constitutes the legal basis for the Saami peoples’ husbandry rights, has been applied during the period. The aim is to resear

The maritime transportation of hazardous cargo has created a sometimes intense dispute between the shipping industry and coastal states. The arguments feeding this discussion are the right of innocent passage, claimed by shipping states, and on the other hand, the obligation to protect the environment stressed by coastal states. Two sets of rules, both codified in international law, stand in confl

This examination work presents a proposition of a conceptual design of a demographic database for CIDS in Nicaragua. Furthermore, an implementation of this database is described. Finally a description of a method to transfer data from the current database to the new is given, together with a smaller implementation. CIDS – Center of Investigation of Demography and Health is located in Nicaragua, Le

This study investigates the publication and reception of the Latin American boom literature in Sweden from 1960 to 1990, focusing on Julio Cortázar, Carlos Fuentes, Gabriel García Márquez and Mario Vargas Llosa. It analyses the extent of Swedish translations of their works and the type and amount of attention they received in the Swedish press. Using a bibliometric approach for the translations, a

This chapter concerns disabled people’s experiences of barriers to accessing sexuality. It draws on an analysis of materials produced in ten projects by civil society organisations, including self-advocacy organisations, sexual rights organisations and organisations working on behalf of disabled people. These materials comprise books, handbooks, videos, websites and other online materials, and are

Intellectual property rights (IPRs) represent a key concern for researchers and industry in basically all (high-tech) sectors. IPRs regularly figure prominently in scientific journals and at scientific conferences and lead to dedicated workshops to increase the awareness and “IPR savviness” of scientists. In 2015, Biotechnology Journal published a report from an expert meeting on “Synthetic Biolog

We argue that there is a need for a more elaborate and sophisticated discussion of if, and then how, the public library fulfils its social role to con- tribute to democracy. Therefore, we have formed the Lund Critical Library Studies group with a shared interest of contributing to a more nuanced and rich discussion about public libraries. This allows us to engage in discussions on how the library

Network-based biocomputation (NBC) is an alternative, parallel computation approach that can potentially solve technologically important, combinatorial problems with much lower energy consumption than electronic processors. In NBC, a combinatorial problem is encoded into a physical, nanofabricated network. The problem is solved by biological agents (such as cytoskeletal filaments driven by molecul

BackgroundDrugs with anticholinergic properties are associated with cognitive adverse effects, especially in patients vulnerable to central muscarinic antagonism. A variety of drugs show weak, moderate or strong anticholinergic effects. Therefore, the cumulative anticholinergic burden should be considered in patients with cognitive impairment. This study aimed to develop a Swedish Anticholinergic

Moving from a fossil dependent to a fossil free economy requires increased energy production from renewable resources. This thesis discusses the utilization of agricultural waste streams, such as straw and manure, for biogas production. The first part of the research presented focuses on pretreatment of straw with the aim to reduce the handling issues concerning straw and improve the degradation o

Background: The Swedish National Cataract Register (NCR) collects data on cataract surgery outcomes during March, including patient-reported outcomes using the Catquest-9SF questionnaire for over 11 years. Previous studies from NCR have shown that the preoperative visual acuity has improved over time. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the Catquest-9SF Rasch scoring performance in this

In this paper, we take a fresh look at the determination of the transition matrix for a homogeneous, biisotropic particle employing the Null-field approach. The condition for passivity of the material is discussed. In particular, we focus on some previously unproved properties of the Beltrami spherical vector waves, such as completeness, orthogonality, and linear independence, which are all instru
