Understanding Sense Perception We all need to perceive sensations such as pain; cold or pungent chemicals in order survive. In elucidating sense perception, we investigate TRPA1 which is a major player in sensation. Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) is a large family of ion channels that are found in membrane of biological cells. They were first discovered in fruit fly in 1969 and this discovery

The purpose of this essay is to study the external circumstances of when and where baptisms are performed in the Church of Sweden. Throughout history, baptism has moved between home, church and other places.

Småföretag och entreprenörskap lyfts inom samhällsekonomin idag fram som viktiga drivkrafter för ekonomisk tillväxt och utveckling. Tidigare empiriska studier inom området använder bl. a sysselsättningsgraden som ett sätt att mäta ekonomisk tillväxt och utveckling samt bildandet av nya företag som ytterligare ett mått på entreprenörskap. Det har därför varit av intresse att i denna uppsats diskute

En granskning av ett kommunfullmäktigemöte, med Sverigedemokraterna i fokus. En titt på hur ett parti utan samarbetspartners fungerar. Och en granskning av antalet kvinnor bland engagerade och medlemmar.

En upphandlande myndighet som inte följt bestämmelserna i lagen om offentlig upphandling ska ersätta därigenom uppkommen skada för en leverantör. Bestämmelsen, som baseras på ett EU-direktiv, är tämligen intetsägande och dess tillämpning är oklar. Principer för ersättningsnivåer har utarbetats genom praxis, men oklarheter rörande under vilka förutsättningar skadestånd ska utgå och huruvida de bakoA contracting authority that hasn’t complied with the provisions of the Law of public procurement shall compensate the damage hence incurred to a supplier. The provision, which is based on a EU directive, is rather bland and its application is unclear. Principles for compensation levels have been developed through practice, but doubts concerning the conditions under which damages shall be compensa

Under tidigt 2000-tal, efter att olika företagsskandaler uppdagats både i Sverige och internationellt, kom flera betänkanden som alla behandlade bolagsstyrningsfrågor. Resultatet av dessa utredningar blev regelverket “Svensk kod för bolagsstyrning”. Den svenska Koden för bolagsstyrning är marknadens självreglering på bolagsstyrningsområdet och bygger på principen ”följa eller förklara”. Denna prinDuring the early years of the 21st century, after the revealing of various corporate scandals, several public reports were published in Sweden concerning corporate governance issues. These reports became the framework for the Swedish Corporate Governance Code, a soft law instrument established by the market. “Comply or explain” is the regulatory approach for the Code, meaning that a company, in it

This work has evaluated ISO 3795. It was found that ISO 3795 isn’t a suitable method to test interior materials and its use has led to a low level of fire safety in military vehicles. A different test method to be used for fire testing interior materials in military vehicles was suggested; ISO 5660 cone calorimeter. Eleven different interior materials from two military vehicles were tested in the

Förändrades medvetna och omedvetna manlighetsideal i svenska fackföreningstidskrifter under andra världskriget, och i så fall på vilket sätt? Går en eventuell förändring att koppla till händelser i omvärlden och i så fall hur? Denna uppsats undersöker fyra olika tidskrifter ur olika delar av det svenska samhället mellan åren 1939-1946 för att gå till botten med dessa frågor. Resultatet var att för

How many times have you heard that if children are in church they should be quiet and still? It was common to hear when I was young that children should go out as soon as they started making any noise. It was and is always a pleasure for everyone to hear the cute children singing a pretty song in church but afterwards there should be silence again! What I want is for the congregation to accept the

Inom gemenskapsrätten idag, kännetecknas genomsnittskonsumenten såsom rimligen intelligent och rationell i sitt beslutsfattande. Dessa antaganden formar grunden för ett normativt angreppssätt, vilket gör att domstolar inte behöver använda sig av extern empirisk fakta, för att avgöra huruvida konsumenten uppfattar två varumärken såsom så snarlika, att risk för förväxling föreligger. Genom att tilläExisting trademark law in both the European Union and the United States, allow courts to enlist the help of a representative consumer, in order determine whether two trademarks are confusingly similar. This ubiquitous figure, which is said to represent the collective minds of the public, is central to the likelihood of confusion analysis, used to appraise the overall likelihood of confusion betwee

Svenska utlandsarbetande har i dagens samhälle ökat jämfört med för bara några decennier sedan. Under utlandsarbetet behåller många arbetstagare sin skatterättsliga hemvist i Sverige och är därmed som utgångspunkt också skattskyldiga i Sverige för arbetsinkomst som härrör från anställningen. I många fall beskattas arbetsinkomsten också i arbetslandet, vilket kan föranleda att den skattskyldiges anThe number of Swedish workers abroad has increased in today’s society compared to just a few decades ago. While working in foreign countries, many workers retain their tax residence in Sweden and are thus primarily liable to pay tax in Sweden on the income derived from the employment. In many cases, the employment income is also taxed in the working country, which could mean that the taxpayer'

At VAC a new kind of nozzle wall design has been introduced for their sp

I vårt samhälle har produkters utseende och design kommit att bli allt mer viktigt. I takt med denna utveckling har också värdet på design ökat och behovet av skydd för design blivit större. Idag kan industridesign skyddas genom en rad lagar och förordningar på immaterialrättens område. Det skydd som lagstiftaren primärt avsett för formgivning och design är dock det mönsterrättsliga skyddet. I denIn the society we live in today the design of products has become more and more important. This development has resulted in an increased value for good design and the need for protection of design is now even more important than before. Industrial design can nowadays be protected through several types of legislation providing intellectual property rights. The type of protection that the legislator

Recent work by Nissen and Schuster have found two distinct populations of halo stars with -1<5 alpha [Fe/H] -0<5. Both populations are kinematically selected to be halo stars. The differences between the two groups are the alpha -elemental abundances and the [Na/Fe] and [Ni/Fe] ratios. From angular momentum space, we can see that the majority of these stars do not show any extreme kinematic indica

It is the purpose of this paper to compare the securitization processes of the A(H1N1) virus, more commonly known as the swine flu, in Sweden and Germany. Based on the recognition that these countries, for all intents and purposes, are very similar it is the aim of this essay to understand how the results of their respective securitization processes could be so widely different. This study is cond

This thesis provides an analysis of the embodied experience in Olafur Eliasson’s installations Your blind passenger (2010) and Your negotiable panorama (2006). The empirical material was observed in 2011 at ARKEN Museum of Modern Art, Ishøj, Denmark, where the two installations were located at the time. The author argues that the experience of a work of art is done through the beholder’s entire b
