Fusioner och delningar är två omstruktureringsförfaranden som innebär en stor förändring för ett bolags intressenter. Ett bolag kan bli reducerat i storlek likväl som flera gånger större eller rent av upphöra att existera. I takt med ett europeiskt samarbete har dessa förfaranden aktualiserats över nationsgränserna inom EU varpå lagstiftning på unionsnivå ansetts nödvändig. Till följd av EU-rättMergers and divisions are two restructuring procedures that entail significant changes for a company’s stakeholders. A company may be reduced in size, become several times larger, or even cease to exist altogether. With the advancement of European cooperation, these procedures have increasingly taken place across national borders within the EU, prompting the need for legislation at the Union level

Sweden has never before had so many serving life sentences. Anyone sentenced to life imprisonment has the opportunity to apply to have their sentence fixed by a court. In that examination, the court must take into account various factors, including whether there is a risk that the lifer will relapse into serious crime. To help answer that question, the court has a statement from the National Board

Women in the humanities : scientific ideals during the second half of the 20th century This thesis examines scientific ideals of female humanists during the second half of the 20th century through the analytical concept scientific or scholarly persona. The aim with this thesis is to show how scientific ideals have been negotiated in the context of obituaries of female scholars active in the humani

THIS MASTER THESIS is about making diving more accessible. The experience of diving is today relying on a complex set of equipment and infrastructure, thus most people with a certificate seldom use it. My intention is to evolve diving equipment, which has looked the same since the sixties, and by doing that simplifying the experience of diving. The goal is to create a solution positioning itself

A new method to extract mass density and elemental compositions of tissues from dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) scans is described and investigated. The method decomposes a tissue into proportions of two or three predened base materials and was proposed in 2008 by a research team at Linkoping University. Informations of tissue parameters may be important in radiation treatment planning to c

This work shows a contribution to a long-term study of lead in smelter workers where the objectives were to assess the historical lead (Pb) exposure and to study the relationships between lead concentrations in finger bone (Bone-Pb), whole blood (B-Pb), plasma (P-Pb), urine (U-Pb) and the duration of employment in workers at a secondary lead smelter. Moreover, results were compared with previous s

Background: Data from 1998 showed that CT represents about 10% of all the diagnostic X-ray examinations and almost 70% of the total radiation dose from medical diagnostic examinations in Sweden. Because of this there is a strong need to minimize the radiation dose and adapt the dose to each patient’s examination area and anatomy. Today practically all-modern CT systems are delivered with automatic

Närståendes närvaro hos patienter som är kritiskt sjuka underlättar enligt studier patienternas vistelse på intensivvårdsavdelningen. För att stödja och tillhandahålla information till de närstående bör personal på intensivvårdsavdelningar vara medvetna om närståendes uppfattningar. I Kanada har ett enkätformulär FS-ICU utvecklats för att undersöka närståendes tillfredsställelse med vården och med

Trots att kunskaperna om och intresset för smärta och smärtlindring har ökat de senaste åren drabbas fortfarande många patienter en inadekvat smärtlindring och många patienter förväntar sig smärta postoperativt. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka kvinnor i olika åldrar avseende förväntningar och upplevelser av postoperativ smärta och smärtlindring samt hur stor betydelse den preoperativa in

In December 2019, news came from China about a mysterious virus that infected people in the Chinese city of Wuhan. During the following weeks the disease spread further to a number of countries all over the world (DW 2019). The new disease turns out to be very dangerous and highly contagious. While the pandemic spread and people died disinformation started to spread in the media, social media, and

Thanks to name statistics published by the national bureaus of statistics in Scan­dinavia it is possible to study the changing popularity of first names. This paper is based on statistics from the years 1998-2002 in Sweden, 1998-2000 in Finland and 1880-2000 in Norway. The rise and fall in popularity — and in some cases renaissance — of individual names are shown and analyzed.It is observed that o

Trimethylolpropane (TMP) is an important industrial chemical used to produce various value-added chemicals and polymers. In this study, both biobased butyraldehyde and formaldehyde were produced by the incomplete oxidation of bio-1-butanol and biomethanol, respectively, and were then used to produce a biobased TMP. High selective incomplete oxidation of primary alcohol to aldehyde is a challenging

Objectives: Our aim was to compare direct costs for single pill combinations (SPCs) and free-drug combinations for hypertension treatment. Methods: We focused on Australia as a case study and reviewed total costs, and for the patient and government. We reviewed the Australian “Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme item drug map” considering different thresholds for the government safety net. Total costs

This article investigates trapping mechanisms in AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) at cryogenic temperatures (CTs) down to 4.2 K, using pulsed I–V and drain current transient spectroscopy (DCTS) measurements. The results revealed an overall increase of trapping effects at CT. In particular, a substantial increase in current collapse at low temperatures was observed and predomina

BACKGROUND: Sharp force injuries display varying patterns depending on the manner of death (homicide, suicide, accidental). The purpose of this study was to analyse forensic autopsy data to examine the characteristics of sharp force injuries on the extremities, to differentiate between different manners of death and to examine demographic differences.METHODS: This retrospective cohort study utiliz

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most prevalent and aggressive subtype of ovarian cancer. The combination of late-stage diagnosis and the tendency to exhibit resistance to existing treatments highlights a critical gap in effective therapeutic options. There is thus a need for novel strategies for targeting HGSOC, particularly in its advanced stages. To address this gap, we developed
