Italy has the main tunnel network in Europe and consequently the importance of a definition of the optimal design standard is a key issue. This paper reviews the design of the means of egress from tunnels within the Italian Codes (analysing both prescriptive and performance-based ap
Skatteflykt är ett problem för många av världens suveräna stater. Det finns olika metoder för att bemöta problemet, vanligast är att en stat väljer att instifta en lagstiftning med en generalklausul eller att genom praxis utveckla riktlinjer för när en transaktion skall anses vara skatteflykt. I Sverige och Australien har lagstiftarna valt att genom generalklausuler försöka bekämpa skatteflykt. SyTax avoidance is an issue for many of the sovereign states of the world.

Strukturella och petrologiska studier av komplext veckade mafiskt- och felsiskt varvade sekvenser har genomförts i den paraautoktona delen av Svekonorvegiska provinsen i sydvästra Sverige. Tre deformationsfaser (D1, D2, D3) innefattande minst två veckfaser (F2, F3) och två lineationsfaser (L2, L3) karakteriserar ett flerfasigt veck i migmatiserad och mycket kompetent granatamfibolit. Denna enhet vStructural and petrological studies on complexly folded mafic and felsic layered sequences have been mapped in the parautochthonous basement of the Sveconorwegian Province, Sweden. Three deformation phases (D1, D2, D3)involving at least two fold phases (F2, F3) and two lineation phases (L2, L3) characterize a polyphase fold, which is primarily defined by a migmatized and highly competent garnet am
Trafficking in human beings is a topic that has received a lot of attention the last ten years. It has been referred to as a modern form of slavery and a crime against humanity. There is a flood of actors working to fight trafficking and save its victims, occupied with different forms of victim assistance. At the same time the EU is augmenting restrictions on visas and asylum legislation, border c
Due to an increasing incidence rate, the need for new effective methods for diagnosing cancer are of high importance. Studies have shown that circulating tumor cells, CTCs, have great potential as a diagnostic biomarker. Acoustophoresis is a label free method, capable of separating CTCs from red blood cells in a blood sample. In theory, this would enable better CTC detection than the gold standard
The purpose of this study was to understand how social workers in financial assistance perceive and support clients with mental illness and poverty.

In this thesis I investigate the notion of imagination in Romantic thought and in the visual art of William Blake with the aim of making a contribution to theological methodology. In early German Romanticism, as well as in the art of William Blake, the concept of imagination plays a central role in the relationship between the Absolute and the perceiving and knowing subject.

This essay examines the rhetorical tools and how the different politics choose to use them. We have also chosen to investigate the role of good and bad leadership in individual behaviors and positions.

This thesis assesses two relatively new rule of law tools of two regional organisations in Europe – the European Union with the new EU Framework for strengthening the rule of law, and the Venice Commission with a new rule of law checklist, and puts them in relation with a concrete case. The rule of law is a principle worth safeguarding at any time, but its relevance increases as it is being questi

A protein’s function is directly related to its structure, which is in a water medium where it is affected by hydrogen bonds and the hydrophobic effect. These interactions are in turn dependent on the water molecules’ orientations around the protein. Therefore, it is vital to have correct orientations for the water molecules. Such information can be obtained by neutron crystallography. However, ev
