The presumption of parental liability is an important tool for the Commission, enabling it to hold parent companies jointly and severally liable with their subsidiaries. Parent companies claim however, that they cannot rebut the presumption and are thus rendered strictly liable for their subsidiaries’ conduct. Due to the fact that parent companies repeatedly failed rebutting the presumption with e

This master’s thesis, departing from the work done by Peter Trudgill and Paul Simpson, aims at widening the scope of research on the identity performance of British rock and indie musicians by taking into account the influences and intersections of local and global social contexts. It not only analyzes the musicians’ accents but also focuses on their lyrics, music videos and statements in intervie

When working against deadlines, individuals deal with the time pressure in different ways. Working against tight deadlines has been found to relate to stress (Herrero, Saldaña, Rodriguez & Ritzel, 2012), however frequency of deadlines has not been prevalent in studies in relation to stress. Participants were 84 employees at two transportation companies in Iceland. Frequency of deadlines was a

Det är viktigt att ha en god energihushållning på grund av rådande klimatsituation och ökande energipriser. Det sätts även högre krav på inomhusmiljön i våra byggnader. En viktig faktor för att minska en byggnads energianvändning och samtidigt förbättra inomhusmiljön är att minimera luftläckaget. Eftersom att det de senaste åren oftare har satts krav på ett lågt luftläckage har nya produkter och m

Environments with a high number of systems that are dependent on each other create complexity in the testing of each system. For a test to perform correctly, every dependency has to be fully functional. If this condition is not met, the test will fail and measures need to be taken into the systems that are causing the problem before it can be repeated again. This is a problem that the test departm

The Chua circuit, known to exhibit chaotic behaviour, has been constructed and studied. The goal was to investigate the experimental underpinning of the theory. The component relationship of the resistors, capacitors, inductors and operational amplifiers have been measured and established within their domain of validity. The system equations themselves cannot be directly validated through a tradit

Popular science summary: Untangling the mystery of Ogfod2 protein Human body consists of tens of thousands of proteins. Some of them have been studied in depth and their functions are well known. Others, however, have not been studied at all and nobody can tell if the protein has some very important function or not. One of these unstudied proteins is the human Ogfod2 protein. Human Ogfod2 prote

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Är ledgångsreumatism på väg att botas? Det finns väldigt många olika sorters virus och bakterier som kan göra oss sjuka. För att undvika detta har vi ett immunförsvar som ska skydda oss. Ibland blir det fel under upplärningen av immunförsvaret och istället för att döda virus eller bakterier går det på den egna kroppen. Om en sjukdom utvecklas på grund av ett fAbstract Rheumatoid arthritis is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation in the joints. The available therapies are just relieving the symptoms, not curing the disease. Therefore there is a need for new better therapies. The pathogenesis is still unknown but by using animal models it was discovered that ROS produced from the NOX2 complex could be beneficial for the dise

Syftet med denna pilotstudie är att undersöka förändringar avseende uppmärksamhet, impulsivitet och aktivitet hos personer med ADHD som genomgått en sjuveckors mindfulnessbaserad gruppbehandling med hjälp av en objektiv testmetod. Graden av mindfulness och självbilden har också undersökts. Metod: Förändringar undersöktes både genom subjektiva självskattningar med Conners’ Adult ADHD Rating Scale –The aim of his pilot study is to investigate changes regarding attention, impulsivity and activity in individuals with ADHD who have participated in a seven-weeks mindfulness based group therapy by using an objective test. The degree of mindfulness and self-concept has also been investigated. Method: Changes were investigated from the self-rating scales Conners’ Adult ADHD Rating Scale – self-repo

Lesbian, gay, and bisexual people continue to face discrimination and persecution in their daily lives, often from both the state and their communities. Where states do not provide for the basic human rights and physical security of their lesbian, gay, and bisexual citizens, many such citizens would flee their countries of origin in search of refuge in more hospitable countries. If other countries

Psychological skills are crucial for performance in professional sports. The Swedish program “Nationellt godkänd Idrottsutbildning” (NIU) was developed to support talented students with a professional sports career. This study compared NIU athletes to other high school athletes regarding the use of psychological skills. In addition, gender, grade and context (training and competition) were compare

Uppsatsens syfte är att studera kidnappning ur flera aspekter, så som medias påverkan på samhället och rätten när en kidnappning sker, varför inblandade parter, så som offer, agerat som de gjort, hur domstolarna dömt i de olika fallen och om dessa domar visar upp ett avskräckande exempel, samt om typen av offer kan spela in. Frågeställningarna ”Påverkar typen av kidnappningsoffer, sett med Christ

Den rådande och även allmänt kända teorin för Universums uppkomst kallas Big Bang-teorin. Big Bang tros ha inträffat för cirka 13,8 miljarder år sedan och beskriver en tid när vårt Universum befann sig i ett mycket varmt och energitätt tillstånd, som snabbt kyldes ner för att bilda de första lätta atomkärnorna bara några minuter in i sitt unga liv. Även om det tog ytterligare 100 miljoner år förPrevious studies of two-particle correlation in proton-lead (pPb) collisions at \sqrt{s} = 5.02 TeV revealed a so-called double ridge structure similar to the one observed in lead-lead (PbPb) collisions. This structure features two distinct ridges extending over the entire \deta range (long-range correlations) at \Delta\phi \approx 0 (near-side) and \Delta\phi \approx \pi (away-side). A model base

This study aims to look at the link between in utero malnutrition and the survival probabilities of fetuses and newborns, using the 2002 food shortages in Malawi as an instrument for malnutrition. Concretely, it looks at differences in the probability of a born child being a male and in neonatal mortality between children in utero affected by food scarcity and those born right before and after the

In this project we developed a method to segment and visualize teeth roots from CT scan data. Our method is based on the level set method for the segmentation and the marching cubes method for the visualization. Most of the teeth segmentations had a good result when compared to a ground truth although there were some teeth and data sets that were problematic to segment. We give some reasons as to
