Fundamental rights as part of the general principles of Community law have come to play an increasing role in building the contemporary EU as being the core of postmodern constitutionalism. Internally the fundamental rights are important in order to justify a growing co-operation and to find and develop the common values of the region. The internal area has, however, a large, less famous twin in t

Abstract Author: Birgitta Nilsson Title: Council for the disabled – from curbstone to policy document. A survey of community councils for the disabled in Blekinge [translated title] Supervisor: Stig Linde Assessor: Torbjörn Hjort This is a study of community councils for the disabled in Blekinge County. The overall aim is to investigate the possibilities of representatives of the disability organi

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), the ancestors of all blood cells, have the ability to give rise to mature effector cells through a series of developmental steps. This is a tightly regulated, though a highly dynamic process: on the one hand, dysregulation in steady-state could lead to under- or overgrowth of certain blood cell lineages, whereas, on the other hand, demands for certain mature blood c

The ongoing climate change is not only a challenge for the environment but also for economic and social development. The continuing rise of consumption and production of natural resources that needs to be preserved is affecting the environment. The urbanization is contributing to a higher demand of commercial buildings and housing, this needs resources like building material which releases carbon

Sedan de tidiga mänskliga civilisationerna har människan använt djur till diverse ändamål, såsom föda, kläder och arbetsredskap. I takt med människans tekniska framsteg har djur börjat användas som testsubjekt, så kallade försöksdjur, för att säkerställa att olika ämnen och behandlingar är säkra. Avseende transplantationskirurgi har djur spelat en avgörande roll i utvecklingen, och det är en reell

With increasing age, it is common to experience decline in some cognitive abilities. To some degree, this is a natural cause of changes in structure and function in the brain. However, the cognitive decline can sometimes be extensive and develop into Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia that heavily impacts the life quality of the affected individual. Various approaches to curb the deve

Reglerna om näringsbetingade andelar medger skattefrihet på utdelning och kapitalvinst. Genom lagstiftning 2003 utvidgades regelverket som tidigare endast hade omfattat utdelning under vissa givna förutsättningar, till att även omfatta kapitalvinster. Syftet med regeländringen var framför allt att undvika kedjebeskattning i bolagssektorn. En andel är näringsbetingad om den ägs av en association soUnder the Swedish participation exemption regime, dividends and capital gains are tax-exempt under the assumption that the shares are held for business reasons. Shares will be considered held for business reasons provided that the holding meets certain requirements while the shares are held in either a corporation or an economic association. The purpose behind the participation exemption regime is

Warehouses are critical nodes in a supply chain, providing a valuable interface between supply and demand. One aspect that warehouse operations struggle with is errors which, if not addressed, will impact the customers downstream from the warehouse. One of the ways to address errors in warehouses is through technology, such as automation of processes, though these are not always effective. A new t

Soil moisture (SM) plays an important role in the exchange of heat and water between the surface and atmosphere, impacting water and energy cycles and the climate. Satellite remote sensing offers a global-scale estimation of SM; however, the coarse resolutions of satellite SM products, typically ranging from 25-50 km, are unsuitable for regional analysis. To overcome this limitation, various spati

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of coworking space as it relates to meeting the common goals of collaboration, community, and creativity for its members. Through a case study of a coworking space, the study seeks answers to questions as: “How can coworking spaces enhance community, collaboration, and creativity to create a better experience for their members?” and “Are

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 1900-talet har jordbruket förändrats drastiskt. Från ett småskaliga lantbruk där åkrar, ängar och betesmarker avlöste varandra, och varje gård var beroende av att både odla mat och hålla djuren med foder, till ett allt mer specialiserat jordbruk där både de enskilda gårdarna och hela regioner specialiserat sig mot antingen spannmålsproduktion eller djurhållning. O

Popular Abstract in Swedish I djurvärlden finns två dominerande ögontyper: kameraögon och facettögon. Kameraögat har en enda lins som fokuserar en bild på ögats retina, medan facettögon har många delögon som var och en har en lins. Båda typerna av ögon hittas inom Arthropoda men facettögon är klart vanligast. Det mest spridda typen av facettöga kallas appositionsöga och har en lins till varje ljusIn the superposition compound eye each rhabdom (light sensitive unit) receives light through many ommatidial facets, while in the apposition compound eye every rhabdom receives light from a single facet. The superposition design increases photon capture, which is an advantage in dark environments. Despite their advantage in dim light, superposition eyes can sometimes be found in insects that live

The onset of Earth's present icehouse climate in the Late Eocene coincides with astronomical events of enigmatic causation. At similar to 36 Ma ago the 90-100 km large Popigai and Chesapeake Bay impact structures formed within similar to 10-20 ka. Enrichments of He-3 in coeval sediments also indicate high fluxes of interplanetary dust to Earth for 2 Ma. Additionally, several medium-sized impact st

Popular Abstract in Swedish Stefan Jarl (1941-) är kanske mest känd för sin trilogi om modsen i den svenska välfärdsstaten. Modstrilogin som består av Dom kallar oss mods (1968), Ett anständigt liv (1979) samt Det sociala arvet (1993) spänner över tre decennier. I denna avhandling studeras Modstrilogin utifrån filmhistoriska och filmteoretiska perspektiv. Filmerna och dess olika produktionskontextStefan Jarl (1941-) is perhaps most well known for his trilogy of films about a group of outcast mods in the Swedish welfare state. The trilogy covers three decades: the first film, They Call Us Misfits, was made in 1968; the second, A Respectable Life, in 1979, and the third, Misfits to Yuppies, in 1993. In this dissertation, the mods trilogy is studied against a background of film history and fi

Based on the Baltic Earth Assessment Reports of this thematic issue in Earth System Dynamics and recent peer-reviewed literature, current knowledge of the effects of global warming on past and future changes in climate of the Baltic Sea region is summarised and assessed. The study is an update of the Second Assessment of Climate Change (BACC II) published in 2015 and focuses on the atmosphere, lan
