Denna uppsats handlar om livet på en flyktingförläggning. Uppsatsens syfte är att helt enkelt ta del av vardagen på en flyktingförläggning utifrån ett antal sociologiska förklaringsmodeller. I och med att det är en så pass sluten institution och att de som inte behöver träffa på den inte vet hur livet på en flyktingförläggning ser ut, vill vi i detta arbete ge en beskrivning av situationen där. Vi
Antalet företagsförvärv har de senaste åren ökat och det finns indikationer på att en sådan trend kommer att fortlöpa. En annan trend på marknaden för företagsförvärv är framväxten av AI- teknologin som på olika sätt kan få konsekvenser för förvärvsprocessen. Dessa två trender i kombination med riskfördelningen mellan parterna föranleder uppsatsens syfte som är att utreda köparens undersökningspliThe amount of mergers and acquisitions has during the past years increased and there are factors that speak for such a trend to proceed. Another trend on the market for mergers and acquisitions is the emergence of AI that could contain consequences for the acquisition-process in several ways. These two trends combined with the risk-sharing between the parties give rise to the purpose of the essay
Homosexuella par fick möjlighet till juridiskt föräldraskap 2003 som en följd av den statliga utredningen SOU 2001:10 Barn i homosexuella familjer. När ett kvinnligt samkönat par genomgår en insemination inom den svenska offentligt finansierade sjukvården kan föräldraskapet för den kvinna som inte föder barnet fastställas genom dom eller bekräftelse. Om paret genomgår inseminationen i privat regi Homosexual couples in Sweden have had access to legal parenthood since 2003, as a result of SOU 2001:10 Barn i homosexuella relationer (Swedish Government Official Reports series 2001:10 Children in homosexual relationships). When a female same-sex couple undergo insemination at a state-run facility, the parenthood of the woman not carrying the child can be settled through a court judgement or thr
The purpose of this master’s thesis is to provide a contribution to the research body regarding consumer returns, particularly within the online fashion retail industry. A quantitative data analysis approach is chosen and two main methods are used: data study that aims to identify patterns and interesting relationships in the data, and a simulation study that uses real input data to attempt to ide
År 2013 infördes en ny EU-förordning (345/2013) med avsikten att underlätta marknadsföring av riskkapitalfonder inom unionen. Tidigare behövde alternativa investeringsfonder (som lyder under LAIF och därmed AIFMD) registreras och marknadsföras under omfattande tillsyn och höga avgifter. Marknadsföring syftar i sammanhanget på kapitalresning från såväl professionella som icke-professionella investeDuring 2013 a new EU regulation on European Venture Capital Funds was carried out to simplify matters for AIFMs when marketing funds throughout the EU. Such AIFMs earlier had to comply with the full legislation of the AIFMD, which is an expensive process. Marketing in this context means the process of raising capital from professional and non-professional investors. The capital raised is subsequen
Background: The majority of non-syndromic colorectal cancers (CRCs) can be described as a complex disease. A two-stage case-control study on CRC susceptibility was conducted to assess the influence of the ancestral alleles in the polymorphisms previously associated with nutrition-related complex diseases. Methods: In stage I, 28 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in a hospital-b
Background: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have emerged as a powerful approach for identifying susceptibility loci associated with polygenetic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, it is still a daunting task to prioritize single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from GWAS for further replication in different population. Several recent studies have shown that genetic var
Purpose: We investigated the distribution of cannabinoid receptor subtypes 1 and 2 in the detrusor of different species and studied the effects of cannabinoid receptor 1 and 2 agonists on bladder function. Materials and Methods: Cannabinoid receptor 1 and 2 expression was studied with Western blot and immunohistochemistry in rat, monkey and human detrusors. Co-staining was done for markers of sens
Anthracyclines and taxanes are active cytotoxic drugs in the treatment of early metastatic breast cancer. It is yet unclear whether addition of capecitabine to the combination of these drugs improves the treatment outcome. Patients with advanced breast cancer were randomized to first-line chemotherapy with a combination of epirubicin (Farmorubicin(A (R))) and paclitaxel (Taxol(A (R))) alone (ET) o
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Data on the prevalence and indicators of weight loss in population-based groups of stroke survivors are scarce. We aimed to find the predictors and indicators of weight loss >3 kg as a possible marker of malnutrition after stroke. METHODS: We registered weight at baseline, after 4 months, and 1 year later in 305 survivors from a population-based cohort of first-ever st
Objectives To study regional cerebral blood perfusion with power Doppler ultrasound (PDU) imaging in appropriate-for-gestational age (AGA) fetuses and those with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) at different hemodynamic stages of fetal deterioration. Methods Brain blood perfusion was studied with PDU imaging, and the fractional moving blood volume (FMB V) was estimated in 56 growth-restricte
Background: Principles of brain plasticity is used in the treatment of patients with functional limitations to improve sensorimotor function. Training is included in the treatment of knee injury to improve both patient-reported function and sensorimotor function. However, impairment in sensorimotor function often persists despite training. Therefore, it was suggested that training programs need to
Context Approximately 10% of women with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) carry deleterious germline mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2. A recent article suggested that BRCA2-related EOC was associated with an improved prognosis, but the effect of BRCA1 remains unclear. Objective To characterize the survival of BRCA carriers with EOC compared with noncarriers and to determine whether BRCA1 and BRC
Background: Recent reviews conclude an association between traffic-related pollution and incidence of asthma in children, but not all studies agree. Studies have almost exclusively relied on parental-reported symptoms or parental-reported diagnoses of asthma and wheeze. Our aim was to investigate if traffic exposure is associated with higher incidence of early onset asthma, using registry-based ou
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To assess the prevalence of asymptomatic abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and their possible relation to hypertension, heart disease, and carotid artery disease, we studied 77 randomly selected subjects (mean age, 65.1 years; range, 36 to 95 years) with no history of focal brain lesions. METHODS: The study protocol included magnetic resonance imaging
Objective A common threonine481serine polymorphism (T481S) has been shown in vitro to strongly activate the chloride channel Kb (CLC-Kb) expressed in the kidney, and the 481S allele has been associated with human hypertension. The study aim was to evaluate the association of the T481 S polymorphism with blood pressure (BP) levels and the BP progression rate in Swedes. Design and methods The cardio
Smooth muscle cell (SMC)-specific deletion of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) signaling would help elucidate the mechanisms through which TGF-beta signaling contributes to vascular development and disease. We attempted to generate mice with SMC-specific deletion of TGF-beta signaling by mating mice with a conditional ("floxed") allele for the type 11 TGF-beta receptor (tgfbr2(flox)) to
Cereals constitute a large portion of the nutritional intake in the world and are an essential part of a sustainable future. The common oat (Avena Sativa L.) has a unique composition of nutrients, including many lipids. One problem with this is the inability to be stored during a longer period due to the high lipase activity which releases bitter free fatty acids (FFA). Heat treatment is the most
PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs, or more commonly referred to as dioxin and dioxin like substances are compounds present in our surrounding environment. As some congeners of these have been shown to be toxic, they are regulated under the Stockholm Convention. As dioxins are persistent in biota and have lipophilic properties they are seen accumulating in lipid rich fish in the Baltic, one of the affected speci
