Background: For most patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) kidney transplantation is the best treatment option. Best outcomes are achieved with living donation. To increase access to living donation for patients who are not compatible with their living donors, Kidney Exchange Programs (KEPs) have evolved. By exchanging donors, compatibility can be achieved thus enabling transplantation.
Vitesklausulen är ett vanligt förekommande avtalsvillkor, särskilt mellan kommersiella parter. Det är inte heller ovanligt att dessa vitesklausuler författas på det engelska språket. Anledningen (eller anledningarna) till varför avtalsparterna väljer engelska som avtalsspråk varierar, och bero-ende på anledningarna varierar också domstolens bedömning av vitesklau-sulen då svensk lag utgör avtalsstClauses stipulating an agreed sum payable upon breach of contract are a common feature in contracts, especially in commercial contracts. For dif-ferent reason(s), such clauses are often written in English. The reason(s) for writing a contract in English may vary but affect how the clause is con-strued under Swedish law. The thesis uses both the legal dogmatic method and the comparative method, whe
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att vidareutveckla en analysmodell inom deformationslokalisering för att få en bredare kunskap om det mekaniska beteendet hos ett geomaterial. Undersökning av lokala egenskaper hos ett jordprov kräver en fullfältsmätnin-gsteknik som i detta arbete är ultraljudstomografi. Anvädning av ultraljudtomografi inom ramarna av geomekanik har med tiden påvisat goda result
The emergence of machine learning based text-to-speech systems have made fully automated customer service voice calls, spoken personal assistants, and the creation of synthetic voices seem well within reach. However, there are still many technical challenges with creating such a system which can generate audio quickly and of high enough quality. One critical component of the typical text-to-speech
Currently, there are no given directives and regulations on how hydrogen refueling stations should be designed in Sweden. A proposal regarding hydrogen refueling stations H2-TSA, is being developed by Energigas Sverige and is expected to be published in 2023. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to development and future revisions of H2-TSA. It is done by analyze how a general hydrogen refuelin
The focus of this thesis is the myths and ideologies inscribed into the aesthetics, narratives and gameplay of post-apocalyptic videogames. The aim is to discuss how the conditions and conventions of the game medium shape what is presented to us as a modern, secular form of apocalypticism. The case studies presented are the two well-known videogames Fallout 4 and The Last Of Us. The research focus
Arabinoxylan (AX) is a beneficial dietary fibre found in cereals such as oats. This crop also possesses high quality proteins and other fibres like b-glucan that help reduce LDL and postprandial blood glucose levels. Lines with a higher content of AX have been recently identified, and the current study aimed to investigate the structure of the AX fibre in these lines in comparison to the commercia
This thesis aims to study how the legitimacy of the EU’s pandemic crisis response in connection to green policies, in the interinstitutional exchange, is supported or undermined by connected frames and a subordinate master frame over the course of the first six months of the unfolding pandemic. Six EU institutions’ residents, who “have a say” on economic crisis measures, were picked from the Europ
Bakgrund: Majoriteten av personer med schizofreni upplever begränsningar relaterat till aktivitet och delaktighet i vardagliga aktiviteter. Symtombilden består till stor del av positiva och negativa symtom och en bristande sjukdomsinsikt. Det råder begränsad evidens kring hur arbetsterapeutiska interventioner påverkar aktivitet och delaktighet för personer med schizofreni. Syfte: Att kartlägga arb
In this thesis we will attempt to classify groups and rings based on whether the associated group rings are Noetherian or not. As this is still an open problem, we present the current state of research. While there are several classes of groups proven not to have Noetherian group rings, such as non-amenable and non-Noetherian groups, so far, virtually polycyclic groups are the only class for which
Ranked as the most disaster prone country in the world by the World Risk Index, the people of the Philippines have had their fair share of natural disasters and will probably continue to be affected by them in the future. With the help of The International Disaster Database the purpose of this paper is to analyze if the actual type of natural disaster has an impacct on the total direct economic da
Denna examensuppsats resulterar med att principen om gemensamt men differentierande ansvar tillämpas med bästa resultat på det globala ansvaret att städa upp det fria havet från plastföroreningen, och att principen bekräftar att det föreligger ett historiskt ansvar för redan genomförda föroreningar av havet med plast. Även om uppstädningen är ett globalt samarbete är det industriländerna som har tThis thesis concludes that the common but differentiated responsibility principle is applied with the best results of the global responsibility to clean up the high sea from plastic pollution. The principle confirms that there is a historical responsibility for the plastic pollution that exists still today but has been in the ocean for decades. It is the developed states that hold a historical res
Home Bias är ett fenomenen som innebär att investerare inte optimerar sina aktieportföljer, utan har en tendens att övervikta mot inhemska tillgångar. Med den utökade digitaliseringen, som utvecklas varje år, och som resultat innebär att information från runt om i världen är lättare att få tag på. I den finansiella världen så innebär det att det är lättare att få tag på information för utländska f
The Kalix River, located in the northern part of Sweden, experiences a slowdown in water flow during cold winters. However, in spring, when snow and ice melt in the mountains, the water flow starts to increase. Towards the end of spring, there is usually a rapid and unpredictable surge in water flow known as the spring flood. The arrival of the spring flood is stochastic in time and does not occur
Kraftliner is the unbleached pulp used in the outermost layer of corrugated cardboard. Like other types of paper, it is produced from wood chips as a raw material. Kraftliner is known for its high tensile strength, tear resistance, compressive strength, etc., making it suitable for packaging material for heavy objects. When paper is exposed to moisture, there is usually a dimensional change within
Social media is a well-studied area within strategic communication. However, among small to medium-sized industrial organizations (B2B), the research remains sparse. Therefore, this thesis aims to get a better understanding of social media usage among industrial small to medium-sized organizations from a strategic communication perspective. With the main focus being the CEO’s perception of social
Amid an increasingly unstable global economy, cost-efficiency and elimination of unnecessary expenses are critical for survival in the corporate world. The packaging and transportation of products present potential areas for such expenses and can constitute a significant flaw in the modern supply chain. This report seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of the challenges involved in conducting b
Många aspekter av Mars geologiska historia förblir gåtfulla, men för att öka vår kunskap om Mars historia är yt-datering metoder väsentliga. Utöver användningen av yt-morfologins relativa åldrar är den vanligaste dateringsmetoden på Mars kraterräkning. Kraterräkning använder SFD “size frequency distrubution” frekvensen av primära kraterstorlekar inom en area för att beräkna ytans ålder. Men även mMany aspects of Mars’s geological history remain enigmatic, in order to increase our knowledge of Mars’s geological history, methods for surface dating are very important. Next to the use of surface morphology superpositions, the most common surface dating method is referred to as crater counting. Crater counting uses the SFD size frequency distribution of primary crater within an area to calculat
The concept of defense capability is commonly used in Swedish social debate and within strategically oriented communication from the government and armed forces. However, this concept does not origin from any formally established definition or concept clarification. Instead, its meaning varies, or is implicit, which is unfortunate when this capability needs to be addressed and communicated intelli
