The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is a non-indigenous species to the Baltic Sea that has drawn the attention of many researchers in the last decade due to its rapid spreading and its impact on the local fauna. With recent concerns about the dispersal of the round goby towards the North Sea, the aim of this study was to determine if the native shore crab could compete with the invaders and pr

A good head of beer gives nice texture and prevents releasing of aroma. The beer foam stability depends on numerous parameters. In this study, it was focused on the interfacial rheological properties such as surface tension and dilational modulus in relation the film formation by isohumulones and beer proteins at the air-water interfaces. The isohumulones and beer protein samples were prepared indWhat makes beer foam stable? Beer is one of the most beloved beverages all over the world. When we think about a good beer, we end up with beer foam. This is because the foam prevents releasing of aroma and gives a good texture when drinking. Beer foam is a mixture of air and liquid containing beer components such as ethanol, proteins, hop acids and other nutrients. Beer proteins are from the bar

Hur mycket som än skrivs om de svenska häxprocesserna verkar vi aldrig tröttna på att höra om dem, försöka förstå dem eller förfasas över dem. Denna uppsats behandlar en av de få, relativt outforskade, delarna i de svenska häxprocessernas historia: de processer som utspelade sig på Åland mellan åren 1666–1668. Processerna har till viss del fallit mellan forskningens stolar, då Åland inte längre tiNo matter how much is written about the Swedish witch trials we never seem to get tired of hearing of them, trying to understand them and be horrified by them. This essay explores one of few, relatively unknown parts of the Swedish witch trials: the trials that took place on the Åland Islands between the years 1666-1668. Not as much attention has been paid to these trials, probably because the Åla

I svensk rättsskipning har användningen av lekmannadomare månghundraåriga anor. Idag medverkar de i olika typer av dömande verksamhet som exempelvis i brottmål i tingsrätt. Motiven för att använda lekmän har varierat stort över tiden. Ordningen med nämndemännen har visat sig vara seglivad trots att det förekommit en hård kritik. Nämndemän antog tidigare i historien karaktären av bevisning. DärefteThe use of laymen as judges dates back many centuries in the Swedish administration of justice. Today they participate in various types of sentencing activities, such as in criminal cases in district courts. The motives for using lay judges have varied greatly over time. The order with the judges has proved to be tenacious despite the harsh criticism. Previously in history the lay judges themselve

In Sweden, what we eat accounts for about a third of the consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions, and there is strong evidence that the most effective way to reduce emissions is to switch to a more plant-based diet. A shift is currently underway in the Swedish food system; the market for plant-based products is showing an exponential growth, coupled with, for the first time since the 1950s, a d

Over the last three and half decades, China has seen a rapid economic and political advancement in the world. Taking an ideological approach to evaluate China’s quest for soft power, the primary aim of this essay is to investigate whether the Chinese initiative “The Belt and Road Initiative” aims to position China as the worlds next superpower. Building on Joseph Nye ́s thoughts about soft power,

A membrane-free biofuel cell (BFC) is reported based on enzymes wired to graphite electrodes by means of Os-complex modified redox polymers. For the anode cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is used as a biocatalyst whereas for the cathode a laccase was applied. This laccase is a high-potential laccase and hence able to reduce O-2 to H2O at a formal potential higher than +500 mV versus Ag/AgCl. In orde

In this Master´s thesis I deal with the impact of European Community Law on chapter 57 regulations of the Swedish National Income Tax Act, IL, and regulations connected thereto. These rules specifically governs the taxation of shareholders in Swedish closely hold small and medium sized enterprises, SME:s, fåmansföretag. My purpose is thereby to investigate the principal question: whether or not ch

The purpose of this study is to explore how relationship benefits and sacrifices matter in relation to members of referral networks and how these aspects affect overall member satisfaction. This study has an explanatory research approach since it aims to, by testing hypotheses; explain the impact relationship benefits and sacrifices have on satisfaction. It is based on both qualitative and quantit

The purpose of this work was to scrutinize and investigate how collective marks can help protect works of Guatemalan artisans' small businesses in the local and international market by promoting them as an organization-association or cooperative. The first chapter contains the introduction of this paper. It is composed by the background of the work, the objective, delimitations, method and out

The current paper examines to what extent different factors influence our ability to remember. Data used in the analysis origins from a psychological memory experiment conducted at the University of Lund. During the study phase of the experiment, participants viewed different objects which could either appear as a word or a picture. The object type was randomly chosen which resulted in varying seq

The notion of human rights is built on the fact that they are universal rights and thus applies to everyone without exceptions. Despite this irregular workers are denied their labour rights and their human rights due to the fact that they are living in a country unlawfully. The states use methods as regularizing irregular migrants or enabling tougher sanctions against irregular migration in order

Uppsatsen behandlar svenska internationella privat- och processrättsliga (IP-rätt) frågor rörande den svenska kollektiva arbetsrätten, varmed förstås den relation mellan arbetsgivare och fackförening samt de tvister som därur kan uppstå. Huvudfrågorna är de som traditionellt anses utgöra den IP-rättsliga problematiken, vilka utgörs av jurisdiktionsfrågan, lagvalsfrågan och verkställighetsfrågan. JThis thesis addresses a private international law perspective of questions and problems related to cross-border collective labour law disputes in Sweden. This means, in Swedish terminology1, that the researched issues are the questions of jurisdiction, choice of law and enforceability in disputes arising from the relation between an employer and a workers' union. Collective labour law in Swede

Den europeiska flygmarknaden har under nästan hela 1900-talet dominerats av nationella flygbolag som har subventionerats för att kunna upprätthålla stora linjenät och en hög servicenivå. Flygbolagen var länge undantagna från Europeiska unionens konkurrens- och statsstödsregler men kraven på en avreglering ökade under 1980-talet. Efter en liberaliseringsprocess mellan 1987 och 1993 öppnades marknadUp until the 1990’s, the European aviation market was dominated by state owned national airlines that were subsidized by their respective states in order to maintain large networks and a high level of service. The airline industry was excluded from EU regulations of competition and state aid. However, higher demands for a deregulation of the market were raised in the 1980’s. After a liberalization

The spectrum argument purports to show that the better-than relation is not transitive, and consequently that orthodox value theory is built on dubious foundations. The argument works by constructing a sequence of increasingly less painful but more drawn-out experiences, such that each experience in the spectrum is worse than the previous one, yet the final experience is better than the experience

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. It is most commonly treated by the surgical removal of the tumour in combination with (neo)-adjuvant therapy (hormone, chemo- or radio- therapy before or after surgery). However, a large number of patients are over treated, with approximately 60% being given adjuvant therapy when already cured by surgery alone. This causes many undesirable
