Abstract The self-driving car (SDC) is about to exit fantasy and enter reality. SDCs are expected to be available for purchase in just a few years, and the new technologies that enable autonomous driving hold much promise, regarding safety, environmental impact, increased mobility and higher comfortability. However, there are worrying prospects, too. Some experts worry that the autonomous car
Idag har företagens varumärken gått från enbart det traditionella i form av en figur eller ett ord, antingen separat eller i kombination, till varumärkesportföljer som även inkluderar icke-visuella varumärken, vilka benämns inom varumärkesrätten som okonventionella varumärken. Till okonventionella varumärken hör bland annat ljudmärken, doftmärken, färgmärken, formmärken och även hologram. Hur denCorporate trademarks today have developed from solely a traditional form, meaning shape or word, together or in combination, to complete trademark portfolios that even include non-visual trademarks, referenced in trademark law as unconventional trademarks. Trademarks within audio, scent, color, form and even holograms are incorporated under unconventional trademarks. How this development has progr
Sammanfattning: EU-, Konkurrensrätten och Svensk Idrottsrörelse Idrottens och särskilt fotbollens popularitet och idrottsrörelsens ideella / icke-vinstdrivande förhållanden, idrottens särart, genererade stora samhällsvärden under 1900-talet och lämnades med marginell svensk rättsinblandning. Istället kom fotbollsföreningar och utövare att underordnas förbundsmonopol från 1904 med strikt [regel]hieAbstract: EU-law, the rules on Competition and movement of Sport The popularity of athletics and particular football and the non-profit circumstances of movement of sport, generated great additional value to society and was therefore almost left without intervention from Swedish public law-system during the 20th century. Instead, since 1904, all Swedish football clubs and players are forced to fol

Fibrillar macromolecules are long, linear structures that have helical symmetry. A technique called X-ray fiber diffraction (XRFD) is often used to help solve the three-dimensional structure of fibrillar macromolecules. Models of fibrillar structure, built de novo, using homologs or using experimental data derived from other methods should be compared to this experimental XRFD data to test and ref
Medicinal plants have been used for treatment of various human diseases for a long time in history. The Ambrosia arborescens Mill. plant grows in some of the developing Latin American countries such as Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru. Ambrosia arborescens Mill, has a ubiquitous amount of sesquiterpene lactone (SL) compounds that can be extracted exclusively from the aromatic leaves of this plant. It has
Fastighetsbolag på den svenska aktiemarknaden har under en lång tid varit mycket lönsamma och en god investering för aktieinvesterare. Syftet med denna undersökning är att avgöra och definiera vilka strategier svenska börsnoterade fastighetsbolag använder sig av, samt hur dessa val av strategier påverkar ett fastighetsbolags värdeutveckling på börsen. Ytterligare skall undersökningen ta reda på huProperty management companies on the Swedish stock market have long been very profitable and represented a good investment for shareholders. The purpose of this study is to determine and define the property-related strategies of listed Swedish property management companies – and how the choice of strategies affects the company's performance on the stock market. Furthermore, the analysis aims t
Det pågår ständigt en utveckling för att minska både risker för miljö och hälsa inom den kemiska industrin. Oftast handlar det om att förbättra existerande processer eller att helt enkelt hitta nya vägar till samma produkt och i grunden ligger forskning bakom framgångarna.Polyurethane is a widely used polymer with a lot of different applications due to its versatility and often resilient properties. The polymeris often prepared as a two component system consisting of polyols and isocyanates and can be cured at relatively low temperatures. Even though the formed polymer is hazardless the isocyanate used in the manufacture is dangerous in itself, but even more so is

The Swedish energy policy is guided by two government bills which were approved by the Swedish parliament in 2009 stating that at least 50 percent of the electricity share should be provided by renewable energy sources by 2020. This thesis focuses on the wind power production and it is a part of the Smart Grid Gotland (SGG) project. One of the goals stated by the SGG project is to have an optimal
Betydelsen av en bra stallmiljö för en välmående häst och länsstyrelsens godkännande av stallar för en frisk häst En välmående häst är glad, nyfiken och positiv till arbete. För att hästar ska må bra i stallet är det viktigt att stallmiljön är anpassad efter dem. För att kunna se till att stallet är utformat på ett bra sätt är det nödvändigt att känna till de viktigaste faktorerna i stallmiljön sThis study shows that to establish good horse welfare in the stable the housing conditions need to be carefully considered. Swedish animal welfare legislation imposes requirements of stable and horse owners to act in a certain way to prevent animal suffering. But many owners lack knowledge about why horses have specific requirements of its housing environment and that is why this study is importan
Novel therapeutic strategy for acute myeloid leukemia Acute myeloid leukemia, AML, is a type of blood cancer that is generally common among elder ages with median age of 65 years old. Around 350 cases per year are diagnosed with AML in Sweden. It is characterized by infiltration of cancer cells in the bone marrow leading to insufficient production of different blood cell types including the immu
Spatial data is an important and necessary ingredient in the disaster management cycle. The preparedness phase requires simulation of disastrous events, identification of disaster management hotspots and creation of hazard- and risk maps. A rapid response in the event of a disaster requires good situational awareness and fast sharing of that knowledge across the community. Further, in the recovery
There are competing standards regarding the definition of the crime of “enforced disappearance” under international law. When criminalizing enforced disappearance at the national level as part of their obligations under international law, States which adopt a more narrow definition of enforced disappearance provided in the Rome Statute require victims of enforced disappearance to prove the existen
