Exosomes are cell-secreted nanosized (30-200 nm) membrane vesicles that contain cytosol proteins and nucleic acids (mRNA, miRNA and mDNA). They have been characterized to be released by most cell types and thus, represent an important part of cell-cell communication. Especially they might play an important role in cell adaptation processes to stress conditions such as hypoxia or oxidative stress.

I EU-domstolens dom i FCE Bank menade EU-domtolen att ett tillhandahållande av en tjänst mellan ett huvudkontor och dess filial inte utgör en beskattningsbar transaktion då huvudkontoret och dess branch, tillsammans, utgör en och samma beskattningsbara person.Tio år senare dömde EU-domstolen i Skandia America där EU-domstolen menade att den princip som härrör från domen i FCE Bank inte är tillämplIn its ruling in FCE Bank, the CJEU stated that a supply between a head office and its branch does not constitute a taxable transaction since the head office, together with its branch, constitute one taxable person. Ten years later the CJEU ruled in Skandia America stating that the principle deriving from FCE Bank is not applicable when the branch is a member of a VAT group. This ruling generated
Uppsatsen syftar till att med en empirisk utgångspunkt ana-lysera och beskriva organisationens nuvarande ledarskap och det önskade ledarskapet utifrån ett teamledar-, medarbetar- och ledningsperspektiv. Datainsamling har baserats på ett kvalitativt angreppssätt med en fenomenografisk infalls-vinkel i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer, för att fånga respondenternas uppfattning om ledarskap. Team
This study investigates the nostalgic aspects of Frederic Leighton’s Arab Hall. Through analysis of the room and collection, the aim is to identify how the nostalgic feelings are visualized in the hall and what this might say about the nostalgic meaning. Arab Hall serves to function as beautiful surroundings for Leighton’s significant collection of middle-eastern ornament, especially tile works f
Background: Physical inactivity is a worldwide public health issue and the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality. As a measure of prevention or treatment several countries have developed concepts of physical activity on prescription (PAP) to tackle the common issue of sedentary behavior and thereby decrease the risk of chronic illness and premature death. The Swedish model of PAP, “Fysis
Fallet med den kristna barnmorskan Ellinor Grimmark, som på grund av sin vägran att delta i aborter nekades anställning vid tre kliniker, skapade stor debatt i Sverige våren 2014. Personalens rätt att följa sitt eget samvete och åtnjuta religionsfrihet ställdes mot kvinnans rätt till fri och tillgänglig abort och arbetstagarens tjänsteplikt. Grimmark anmälde sin arbetsgivare till DiskrimineringsomEllinor Grimmark, a Christian midwife, refused to participate in abortions and was consequently denied employment at three different hospitals. In the spring of 2014, she filed a complaint to the Equality Ombudsman but lost her case. Negotiations are however currently taking place in Jönköping’s district court, where it will be decided whether Grimmark can claim damages for discrimination. Grimmar
The core business of Sandvik SRP AB are rock crushers. Today Sandvik evaluates the welded joints by simplified and somewhat conservative methods. The task is to investigate alternative weld evaluation methods. This have been done by creating different submodels of the area of interest, where the welds is represented in different ways.

The wide and increasing range of screen sizes between Android devices makes consumers use them very differently. Large devices (like televisions) are more suitable to view content and smaller devices (like smart watches) are to be used more as a quick controller of the main application. Distributed user interfaces is the concept of utilizing several of these de- vices in one application, so that e
Image artefacts in diagnostic ultrasound partly occur due to a number of assumptions made concerning how sound and tissue interact and of the acoustic properties of tissue. Ultrasound artefacts in B-mode imaging and the underlying physics that cause them is a well-documented subject. These artefacts and the causes behind them have been studied with the goal of designing a number of ultrasound phan
För att samla en landstingsorganisations riskhanteringsarbete är kommunikationen av risk mellan individer, förvaltningar och hierarkiska nivåer mycket viktig. I examensarbetet undersöks riskkommunikationen ur brandexpertens roll i landstingsorganisationen gällande brandskydd på sjukhus. Resultatet är en grov skiss över ett verktyg för brandskyddsnivåer på sjukhus som ska underlätta riskkommunikatiTo operate effectively in large organizations such as the county council it is required to distribute responsibilities throughout the organization. This distribution is made through a hierarchic system where staff in the lower levels are providing material for the higher levels to make decisions upon. Risk experts, working in the lower levels of the hierarchic system often have more technical kno
This masters thesis presents a new approach to enable complex illuminationand shadowing for transparent objects such as glass or smoke. This is achievedby combining two algorithms which are intended to run in a real-time environment commonly found in modern computer games. The first algorithm is called "Light Linked List", it solves the problem of illuminating transparent objects and was
The thesis engages in a comparative analysis of the involvement of National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) in the UN and the African human rights systems. Thus, the thesis seeks to answer the question: What lessons can be drawn from the system of the involvement of NHRIs in the UN Human rights system to that of the African human rights system? Assuming that the UN system is far more developed a
Många svenska kommuner är inte förberedda inför klimatförändringarna. I bedömningen av vilka kritiska händelser som kan inträffa i kommunen har få uppmärksammat effekterna av ett förändrat klimat. Det visar ett examens-arbete på Lunds tekniska högskola. Klimatförändringarna bär med sig effekter som kraftigare regnväder, översvämningar och höjda havsnivåer. Svenska kommuner ansvarar för verksamhThis study examines the integration of climate adaption in risk and vulnerability analyses in Swedish municipalities. The study is based on a selection of municipalities that work actively with environmental questions. The risk and vulnerability analyses of 15 municipalities have been compiled and analyzed. Interviews have been carried out in three of the municipalities. Among the selected municip
Delar av den postmoderna konsumentforskningen argumenterar för att forskare måste byta perspektiv från ett modernistiskt till ett postmodernt synsätt vid studier av konsumenter och konsumtion. Detta postmoderna perspektiv beskrivs av Firat och Venkatesh (1995) genom fem postmoderna konsumtionsvillkor. Villkoren redogör för en fragmenterad individ som vill konsumera utifrån egna förutsättningar samParts of the postmodern consumer research argue that researchers must change their perspective from a modernist to a postmodern point of view when studying consumers and consumption. This postmodern perspective is described by Firat and Venkatesh (1995) through five conditions of postmodern consumption. These conditions describe a fragmented individual who wants to consume on his or hers own premi
Uppsatsen handlar om brott som sker i organisation och hur bevisningen när ett brott begåtts gemensamt och i samförstånd hanteras i den svenska rätten. Organiserad brottslighet är problematisk att generalisera och behovet av flexibilitet vägs mot behovet av rättssäkerhet. Medverkansläran har fått en betydande roll för senaste årens rättstillämpning. Några rättsfall där brotten skett gemensamt ocThis thesis describes the legal system of joint perpetratorship. The prosecution of organized crime raises serious procedural questions. Organized crime is a wide term; it is not possible to state in general terms. In order to understand the involvement in crime over time there is a definition of criminal organizations and gang violence. The gang crime and the organized crime groups overlap and
I Sverige har under ungefär tio års tid grupper av ungdomar och unga vuxna med intresse för japansk populärkultur samlats på så kallade konvent. Dessa kan beskrivas som öppna, sociala evenemang där människor som är intresserade av japansk eller ”nördig” populärkultur kan umgås och roa sig. Uppsatsen är en ansats att förstå konventfenomenet – vilken mening och vilka betydelser har konventen för del
