The purpose of the report is to study the yellow cycle route in the city of Lund and investigate the inadequacies that could be found on today's route. The yellow cycle route goes from Dalby in the south to Gunnesbo in the north. The method used to answer the questions of this report is literature study and a technical inventory. The analysis of the studied route is based on Lund’s cycle strat

Reduced growth rates in saturated developed economies have put increasing pressure on multinational companies (MNCs) to expand to rapidly developing emerging markets and capitalize on their value potential. Yet, this value potential comes with several challenges which are very different from what firms experience in developed countries, especially with regards to the bottom of the pyramid. The Tra

Syftet med denna uppsats är att med hjälp av en rättshistorisk metod undersöka och analysera de svenska kvinnornas kamp för politiska rättigheter. Detta har gjorts med en komparativ del där jag jämfört med de brittiska kvinnornas kamp. För att uppfylla syftet har jag besvarat fyra frågeställningar rörande aspekter som påverkade beslutet. Brittiska kvinnor fick rösträtt 1918 och tio år senare på The purpose of this essay is to examine and analyse the Swedish women’s struggle for political rights by using a legal historical method. This has been done with a comparative part where this fight has been compared to the fight done by British women. To achieve the purpose, I answered four questions concerning the aspects that influenced the decision. British women won the vote in 1918 and ten ye

In 2015, Europe faced one of the most extensive refugee flows since the Second World War. The situation forced European Governments to take actions on immigration issues to handle the increasing inflows of asylum seekers. We draw on Meguid’s theory on party strategies to examine whether mainstream parties policies of immigration affects the public support of right-wing populist parties. Simultaneo

Recent high quality printers pose interesting questions on how to reproduce images taken by a video camera. A modern ink jet plotter has typically a resolution four times better than a good video camera. Pixel replication and bilinear interpolation give reasonable results, but have a tendency to blur the image. In contrast to these blurring phenomena, it is well known that the apparent visual qual

Contract law has traditionally been regulated by national law which has raised certain problems in cross-border transactions caused by the divergences in domestic contract law among the Member States. Therefore, the diversity of national law has been increasing the challenges in practice for entrepreneurs which is causing a lack of legal certainty, uniformity and creates serious obstacles that hin

Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave radar is used for object detection and localization, e.g., for surveillance purposes or for automotive systems. The amount of radars is increasing, which leads to an increasing amount of radar interference. The radar signals from different devices are uncoordinated and therefore difficult to estimate beforehand. If several radars operate on the same frequency ba

Foreign exchange risk management is important for multinational companies since changes in exchange rates can have significant effects on financial results. Following their extensive international operations, Thule Group is one such organization. Although the company’s treasury department can measure the exposures to exchange rates, they do not engage in statistical measurements to support hedging

Nedmonteringen av rättsstatsprincipen i vissa av EU:s medlemsstater, vilket skett genom omfattande domstolsreformer som inkräktar på rättsväsendets oavhängighet, har resulterat i en ’Rule of Law’-kris som påverkar det unionsrättsliga samarbetet inom flera dimensioner. Respekt för rättsstaten är ett grundläggande krav vid anslutning till unionen enligt artikel 49 FEU och ett fundamentalt värde för The rule of law backsliding in some EU Member States through deficiencies in the judiciary has led to a crisis impacting several dimensions of the European cooperation. Respect for the rule of law is a fundamental value for the Union and thus a pre-condition for accession to the Union according to Article 49 TEU. Pursuant to Article 2 TEU the rule of law is a common value between the Member States

The Icelandic highlands are one of the few places left in Europe where tourists can experience pristine wilderness. During the past decades the highlands have, however, witnessed a rapid expansion in natural resource exploitation. This study attempts to evaluate the pristine condition of Icelandic wilderness by testing different methods of identifying and analysing wilderness with respect to natur

Measurements are presented from proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of root s = 0.9, 2.36 and 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Events were collected using a single-arm minimum-bias trigger. The charged-particle multiplicity, its dependence on transverse momentum and pseudorapidity and the relationship between the mean transverse momentum and charged-particle multi

The transmembrane topology of the Acr3 family arsenite transporter Acr3 from Bacillus subtilis was analysed experimentally using translational fusions with alkaline phosphatase and green fluorescent protein and in silico by topology modelling. Initial topology prediction resulted in two models with 9 and 10 TM helices respectively. 32 fusion constructs were made between truncated forms of acr3 and

Patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders express antibodies against gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in serum. One common cause of posterior laryngitis (PL) is extra-esophageal reflux, but a functional etiology has also been suggested. The aim of this study was to scrutinize patients with PL with regard to the presence of GnRH antibodies and to examine the association between antib

It is not known if verum (real) acupuncture is effective for nausea and vomiting (emesis) during radiotherapy. We randomly treated 215 blinded cancer patients with verum: penetrating 'deqi' creating acupuncture (n = 109) or non-penetrating sham needles (n = 106) two to three times per week. The patients documented emesis daily during the radiotherapy period. Primary end point was the number of pat

The presentence investigation (personutredning) provides a foundation upon which the courts base their decision in sentence deliberation. It is a task performed mainly by probation officers who work for the Swedish Prison and Probation Service, a public administration authority. The organisation’s structure is bureaucratic in nature, much the same as many other public authorities; the activities a

This thesis is to go head to head with metaphor theory and to humbly try to wrestle from the enormous structure of facts and hypotheses that such theories form collectively, one theory that might favorably be used to study another interesting phenomenon. This phenomenon is the variety of metaphor that is encouraging of synaesthesia, called simply synaesthetic metaphor. For the first part of this t

Examensarbetet redogör för hur ett rekonstruktionsförfarande går till enligt gällande rätt och redogör även till viss del för den kritik som har riktats mot förfarandet och hur lagstiftaren har gått tillväga för att möta denna kritik. Bland annat anses förfarandet vara långsamt och dyrt. Det har vidare angetts att det saknas en enhetlig reglering för konkursförfarandet och rekonstruktionsförfarandThis thesis sets out to describe how a business reorganization procedure works according to existing Swedish law. This thesis also aims to describe the proposed changes and why the changes have been proposed. The current law has been criticized of being slow and inefficient, and also that it is too expensive to reorganize smaller businesses. There is no convenient way to change direction from busi

As of 2008 more than half the world’s population was living in urban areas and that trend is expected to continue. Satisfying and sustainable design is now a top priority for urban and community planners. While much of the current discourse and research is centered on large-scale sustainable technological development projects such as low carbon impact housing and transportation, many studies and p
