In the carriage of goods by sea most of the times there are three parties involved - the carrier, the shipper and the consignee. Due to the fact that more often than not they are unrelated to each other, such a relationship presupposes the use of fraudulently issued bills of lading. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the existing legal regimes governing the use of bills of lading and the way
In 2004, the EU welcomed ten new member states. For two of these newcomers, namely the Czech and the Slovak Republic, the accession process did encounter difficulties as they got haunted by their own history. In both states? constitution, there are decrees, issue from the post-war era, including discriminative regulations against minorities. These decrees, commonly called Bene?-decrees, have been
Southwest China has been the largest terrestrial carbon sink in China over the past 30 years, but has recently experienced a succession of droughts caused by high precipitation variability, potentially threatening vegetation productivity in the region. Yet, the impact of precipitation anomalies on the vegetation primary productivity is poorly known. We used an asymmetry index (AI) to explore possi
In microbiological studies, a common goal is to link environmental factors to microbial activities. Both environmental factors and microbial activities are typically derived from bulk samples. It is becoming increasingly clear that such bulk environmental parameters poorly represent the microscale environments microorganisms experience. Using infrared (IR) microspectroscopy, the spatial distributi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna studie är att försöka förklara varför araméen Laban, vilken i Bibeln (Genesis) framstår som en ganska harmlös bifigur, i rabbinsk litteratur i allmänhet betraktas som en av Jakobs och därmed Israels stora fiender. Avhandlingen hävdar att bilden av Laban som en skurk utvecklats som ett resultat av rabbinsk hermeneutik och att de egenskaper som tillskrivsThis study attempts to answer the question of why Laban the Aramean, a rather harmless character as presented in the biblical text, is generally portrayed in rabbinic literature as a major enemy of Jacob and Israel. It is argued that the portrait of Laban as a villain developed as a result of rabbinic hermeneutics, and that the characteristics which are attributed to him in rabbinic literature wer
Minoritetsstress på grund av etnisk bakgrund är ett nytt område inom forskningsfältet minoritetsstress. Det saknas ett mätinstrument för denna typ av stress. Denna studie syftade till att utifrån Meyers (2003) koncept minoritetsstress, konstruera ett mätinstrument för mätning av etnisk minoritetstress (EMS); samt se minoritetsstressens relation till allmän stress, anknytning och coping för att undMinority stress due to ethnic background is a new area in the research field. Based on Meyer's (2003) concept of minority stress, this study aimed to construct an instrument for measuring ethnic minority stress (EMS); and study minority stress and its relation to general stress, attachment and coping to investigate whether attachment and coping can become dimensions that can be used to disting
The purpose of this essay is to analyse the status of good faith under the CISG in the light of article 7 of the Convention. The first part of this article reads: ''In the interpretation of this Convention, regard is to be had to its international character and to the need to promote uniformity in its application and the observance of good faith in international trade.'' Emphasis a
Övervakningen i vårt samhälle ökar allt mer och att så kan ske beror på hotet från terrorism. Stater vill genomföra åtgärder i konflikt med mänskliga rättigheter för att bekämpa hotet, organisationer vill skydda de mänskliga rättigheterna och människan vill både vara skyddad från terrorn och att sina rättigheter ska respekteras. Efter att Sveriges regelverk om lagringsskyldighet för tjänstelever
Denna studie har genomförts på Tetra Pak för att studera deformation i vätskekartong under vikning. När en förpackning formas i fyllmaskinerna viks kartongen enligt biglinjerna. Det finns ett stort intresse av att studera vikprocessen då den är avgörande för den slutgiltiga kvaliteten av förpackningen. Matematiska modeller används för att simulera kartong men dessa kräver verkliga mätningar och dThis study has been conducted at Tetra Pak to study deformation in liquid packaging paperboard during the folding process. When a package is formed in the filling machines, the paperboard is folded according to the crease lines. It is of great interest to study the folding process since it is crucial to the final quality of the package. Mathematical models are used for simulation of paperboard bu
Adaptation of modern Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and multispectral sensor technology in agriculture can enhance the capacity to accurately monitor crops. But these technologies come with its own set of challenges. The major challenge is the understanding of radiometric distortions, which is particularly important while comparing data over different lighting conditions. The study developed and as
The aim of this thesis is to explore the importance of sustainable urban mobility in the context of the housing affordability crisis. Housing affordability crisis is a concern across the globe. Finding strategies and solutions to mitigate the housing affordability crisis is in the interest of the whole society. While the connection between affordable housing and the housing costs is a well- unders
Staten äger ett stort antal fastigheter som förvaltas av dels statliga förvaltningsmyndigheter och av dels statligt ägda bolag. Den här rapporten syftar till att utreda innebörden av de regler som de statliga förvaltningsmyndigheterna har att förhålla sig till vid avyttring av fast egendom men den syftar även till att redogöra för den praxis som har utvecklats inom myndigheterna vad gäller försäljThe government holds a large property portfolio, which is managed by governmental administrative authorities and governmental companies. This report aims to investigate the meaning of the rules that the governmental administrative authorities have to follow when they are selling properties, and it also aims to describe the practice that has been developed within the authorities. The report is ba
IMPORTANCE: The successful implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care depends on its acceptance by key stakeholders, particularly patients, who are the primary beneficiaries of AI-driven outcomes.OBJECTIVES: To survey hospital patients to investigate their trust, concerns, and preferences toward the use of AI in health care and diagnostics and to assess the sociodemographic fact
Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disease with unknown etiology. Poor dietary intake with nutritional deficiency and overweight have been described to increase the risk of IBS. The aim of the present study was to compare weight and circulating levels of micronutrients in IBS compared with healthy controls. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Patients diagnosed with IBS and
Background The World Health Organisation (WHO) 2013 diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been criticised due to the limited evidence of benefits on pregnancy outcomes in different populations when switching from previously higher glycemic thresholds to the lower WHO-2013 diagnostic criteria. The aim of this study was to determine whether the switch from previous Swedish
The paper analyses the legal framework for the collection and distribution of remote sensing data, particularly in the field of sustainable development and environmental protection at the European level. The research firstly focuses on the historical evolution of space law at the international, European, and national levels, starting from the 1970s. In parallel, environmental law has rapidly devel
