Redox reactions are central to all organisms to sustain life. Both anabolic and catabolic metabolism depends on them. It is thus vital to sense and adjust the redox balance in the cell. One major factor affecting the redox status is the level of oxygen present. Transitions between different oxygen concentrations change the redox status and among other things, confer a stress upon the cells. This s

This treatise examines the nature of empathic understanding, i.e. understanding of what it is like for someone to be in a particular mental state. Its aim is twofold: (1) to explain how empathic understanding is possible, and (2) to explain how empathic understanding can cause unselfishness. The treatise defends a theory that meets both these desiderata. According to this theory (“the simulation i

The main objective in the research described in this thesis was to design and test the use of lean premixed combustion using combustion gas recirculation for gas fuelled Stirling engine combustors. A system using a flame-arrester type of flame-holder to stabilize the flame and an ejector system for the recirculation of combustion gas was designed and tested in the laboratory. The impact of changes

It is difficult for states to cooperate on issues related to international peace and security. Yet, ever since 1970, the EU member states have succeeded to gradually intensify their foreign policy cooperation and increasingly act in unison towards the rest of the world. This PhD thesis seeks an explanation to this trend. It does so by initially painting a picture of when, in time, the volume and c

Denna uppsats har till avsikt att undersöka hur den svenska polismyndighetens gestaltning i TV-produktioner kan relateras till strategisk kommunikation, varumärkesbyggande och varumärkesambassadörer. Uppsatsen syftar även till att belysa hur poliser själva uppfattar denna mediala representation. Forskningen baseras på TV-produktionen Poliserna i våldsvågen, och kommer att examinera hur poliser str

I Sverige har debatten om lagförslaget att införa ett slöjförbud i för- och grundskolan varit aktuellt under de senaste åren. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera argument som har framlagts i interpellationsdebatten om slöjförbud i den svenska för- och grundskolan 3 juni 2019, debatten i Malmö kommunfullmäktige 19 mars 2020 och slutligen argument av Sverigedemokraternas, samt Moderaternas motione

Förslaget består dels av en implementering av EU-direktivet DAC 6, dels av en inhemsk reglering som saknar motsvarighet i DAC 6. Det huvudsakliga syftet med förslaget är att motverka aggressiv skatteplanering. I uppsatsen används den rättsdogmatiska
