The Panama Canal expansion is an external factor on the tanker freight market that is made to change cargo volumes, channel fee income, the average transit time and might also change or create new profitable transportation routes. Shipowners operating in the region will, in one way or another, be affected by this. For tanker shipping companies like Stena Bulk the challenge is to create robustness
Background: The awareness concerning adequate sedation in mechanical ventilated patients has increased in recent years. The use of a sedation scale, to continually evaluate the patientfs response to sedation, may promote earlier extubation and subsequently have a positive effect on the intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay. The Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) provides ten well-defined
With the launch of Gaia in December 2013, Europe entered a new era of space astrometry following in the footsteps of the very successful Hipparcos mission. A weakness of Gaia is that it only operates at optical wavelengths. However, much of the Galactic centre and the spiral arm regions are obscured by interstellar extinction. An obvious improvement on Gaia is to include the Near-Infra-Red (NIR) w
We introduce and present results from the cocoa (Cluster simulatiOn Comparison with ObservAtions) code that has been developed to create idealized mock photometric observations using results from numerical simulations of star cluster evolution. cocoa is able to present the output of realistic numerical simulations of star clusters carried out using Monte Carlo or N-body codes in a way that is usef
Companies and corporate foundations have become important players in philanthropy. For many companies, philanthropy is part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy. They brought their entrepreneurial customs, values and expectations into the world of philanthropy. This gave rise to new forms of philanthropy next to the conventional form of donations. These developments lead to severa
How might a liberal democratic community best regulate human genetic engineering? Relevant debates widely deploy the usually undefined term “human dignity.” Its indeterminacy in meaning and use renders it useless as a guiding principle. In this article, I reject the human genome as somehow invested with a moral status, a position I call “genetic essentialism.” I explain why a critique of genetic e
Background: Studies have shown that ambient air pollution is linked to preeclampsia (PE), possibly via generation of oxidative stress in the placenta. Telomere length and mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) are sensitive to oxidative stress damage.Objective: To study the association between prenatal exposure to ambient nitrogen oxides (NOx, a marker for traffic-related air pollution), and PE,
An integrated thermal biosensor array was designed and fabricated for the simultaneous determination of glucose, urea and penicillin. The sensor contains ten thin-film thermistors which were fabricated on quartz chip by micromachining and semiconductor technologies. This sensor allows to determine maximum five different analytes nearly simultaneously by serially dividing the single microchannel in

Acknowledged from the existing literature regarding Daesh’s propaganda, the focus has mostly been on their propaganda on social media, such as Facebook and Twitter. However, I argue that a gap regarding Daesh’s propaganda is the lack of studies on Daesh’s online-magazine Dabiq and this thesis aim to fill this gap. I argue that Daesh’s way of arguing and framing their arguments are the key to under
This project examined how two contradictory aims of the national syllabus for the teaching of English in upper secondary school in Sweden were interpreted and realized by two EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers. The aims state that English education should be conducted in English as far as possible, yet also promote plurilingualism and allow skills in different languages to interact and s
The aim of this thesis is to analyse what ideas the gender politics of the Swedish nationalist party the Swedish Democrats consists of. The purpose of the study is to identify what they mean when talking about gender inequality and how women are portrayed in material concerning this issue. The objects of the study are written texts, pictures and a video produced by their women’s association SD-kvi
Sammanfattning Inom konkurrensrätten är kartellbildning väldigt allvarligt och det finns därför ett förbud mot detta vilket är konkurrenslagstiftningens allra viktigaste bestämmelse. Stadgandet finns dels inom EU-rätten, dels i svensk rätt och de ser i stora drag likadana ut. I takt med att EU utvecklat sitt program för att bekämpa kartellbildning har Sverige påverkats att ha ett mer EU-harmonisAbstract Within competition law, cartels are defined as a very serious and infringement and are prohibited. This ban exists both within EU law and in Swedish law and looks largely the same. As the EU has developed their program to combat cartels, Sweden has been affected to have a more harmonized EU system when it comes to combating these types of anti-competitive collaborations. Leniency system

The rise of e-commerce has a dramatic effect on physical stores and has also changed customer needs and behaviours with customers requiring both online and offline benefits in the shopping context. Offline-online channel integration, where online features are implemented in the physical store, has been introduced as a means for physical stores to react to the rise of e- commerce as it addresses th
I takt med att EU skapat sig en större roll för samhandeln mellan de anslutande medlemsländerna har den EU-rättsliga ordningen inverkat på vissa av de nationella rättsystemen. Ett relativt nytt system har frivilligt införts i den svenska rätten vilket behandlar bekämpningsmedel för konkurrensöverskridande samarbeten som karteller. Denna kartellbekämpande ordning, kallad eftergiftssystemet, har intAs the EU has become an important role for the reciprocal trade between the acceding Member States, the legal order of EU has had an effect on some of the national legal systems.
