This thesis aims to reveal whether the Commission’s approach in the State aid assessment of advance pricing agreements (APAs) is in line with the current EU law framework and whether, given its implications, it is a sensible development in State aid law applied to taxation. Chapter 2 introduces the background of the arm's length principle, looking into its origin, purpose and application in ta
This thesis investigates the possibility of the mediated city providing a space for resistance in everyday life in a society where free speech channels are strictly controlled. The case studied in this thesis is the phenomenon of a group of fans of a singer who has been banned by the government in mainland China writing graffiti in public urban space on Rehe Road in Nanjing to express their love a
Skiljeförfarandet är och har länge varit en populär alternativ tvistlösningsmetod. Detta gäller i synnerhet i internationella kommersiella tvister där parterna önskar ett neutralt förfarande utan koppling till endera parts nationella domstolar. Skiljeförfarandet har dock på senare tid börjat kritiseras för att ofta resultera i långdragna och kostsamma processer för parterna. Mot bakgrund av denna Arbitration is, and has been for long, a popular alternative dispute resolution. This is particularly true for international commercial disputes where the parties wish to have their case tried in a neutral setting. However, arbitration has in recent times received a lot of criticism for being slow and costly. In light of this criticism a new soft law-tool was presented in 2018 called the Rules on
Today's society is in constant change and development where globalisation and technology have affected the labour market. As a result, the labour market is different and the employees set higher demands with new requirements for the employer to satisfy. It has thus become increasingly important for organisations to develop strategies to attract, develop and retain employees. The purpose of th
River Storån, a major tributary of Lake Bolmen which is a source of fresh water to Skåne county of Sweden is found to alter the color of water in the lake due to the presence of natural organic matter. Hence it is of utmost importance to study the river to understand the dynamics of generation and flow of water from the river to the lake. This is done by application of a hydrological modelling sys
A hybrid ventilation system including sewage heat recovery for low energy buildings has been investigated using TRNSYS. Energy from solar collectors is used in combination with the heat recovered from the sewage system to preheat the ventilation air and the cold water for domestic use. Results show that the new system renders a possibility to use natural ventilation in passive houses and zero ener
This poster concerns the articulation of uvular consonants with particular reference to quantal aspects of speech production. Data from X-ray motion films are presented. Two speakers of Southern Swedish give examples of [R], and one speaker of West Greenlandic Inuit gives examples of [R] and [q]. Traditionally, uvular consonants are said to be produced by articulating the dorsum against the uvula.
Two new Geissleria species from Siberian mountain lakes Baikal and Frolikha are described based on molecular and morphological data. The two new species are Geissleria baicalosimilis Kulikovskiy, Gusev, Andreeva & Annenkova sp. nov. and G. frolikhiensis Kulikovskiy, Gusev, Andreeva & Annenkova sp. nov. According to partial 18S rDNA and rbcL gene fragment analyses, Geissleria does not belon
The tumor suppressor protein p53 is implicated in cell cycle arrest and DNA repair as well as in apoptosis. In the CNS, p53 has been associated with neuronal cell death following various insults, including cerebral ischemia. We investigated the expression of p53 messenger RNA and protein, and the messenger RNA expression of the p53-responsive gene p21(WAF1/Cip1), in specific hippocampal regions fo
α-phenyl-tert-butyl nitrone (PBN) reduces infarct size, improves recovery of brain energy metabolism and delays the secondary increase in extracellular potassium after focal ischaemia, presumably by trapping OH radicals. We investigated the effect of PBN on the formation of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DHBA) as a measure of OH radical formation, during and following middle cerebral artery occlus
Background: Adult males in Sweden exhibit an increased risk of cancer associated with an increased absorbed dose to the colon from the Chernobyl accident. Methods: A closed cohort, with information on hunter status, included all individuals living in northern Sweden in 1986. Complete annual information on exposure to 137Cs at the dwelling coordinate was available for a total of 2,104,101 individua
The failure of pancreatic isletβ-cells is a major contributor to the etiology of type 2 diabetes.β-Cell dysfunction and declining β-cell mass are two mechanisms that contribute to this failure, although it is unclear whether they are molecularly linked. Here, we show that the cell cycle regulator, cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), couples primary β-cell dysfunction to the progressive deterioration
The effects of an electron dense thiol reagent, Hg phenylazo ferritin, on β cell ultrastructure was studied in cell suspensions from mouse pancreatic islets. This type of thiol reagent induced severe damage in the β cells. The ferritin particles were traced with the electron microscope and found to be bound to the plasma membrane as well as to various cytoplasmic structures. The β cell cytotoxic a
Uppsatsen behandlar ämnet motförhöret som en outforskad spelplan i förhållande till dess användning i den svenska rättsprocessen. Uppsatsen kommer vidare att framföra de påverkansfaktorer som kan påverka muntliga utsagor och dess komparation med vikten att framföra en sådan överensstämmande version av verkligheten för rätten som möjligt i anledning av dess bevisbedömning. Det kommer även att framfThe essay discusses the element of Cross-examination as an unexplored field in the Swedish legal proceedings. The essay will continue to state the influencing factors that can affect oral statements and its comparison to find as a consistent version of reality as possible in the courts view in its assessment of evidence. The essay will also present comparative elements regarding the roll of cross-
Zanzibar, as a part of a developing country in East Africa, struggles with a bad municipal solid waste management system. This master thesis is an attempt to analyse the current waste situation on Zanzibar and the environmental and social effects of four dumpsites in order to give recommendations on how to improve the waste management system. The thesis was made as a Minor Field Study funded by SI
Five main components of political risk were extracted from the International Country Risk Guide (ICRG) Rating model, this paper researches the elements: Government Stability, Socioeconomic Conditions, Investment Profile, Internal Conflict and External Conflict. We have chosen four countries to examine: the United Kingdom, Mexico, China and Iran from different economic worlds. We would like to inve
This paper investigates the price discovery mechanism in the Hang Seng Index markets. The analysis is based on the cross-market volatility spillover effects by using the daily sets of Hang Seng Index (HSI), Hang Seng Finance Index (HSFIN), and Hang Seng Index futures (HSCIS00). In order to testify the influence of 2007 financial tsunami on the volatility spillover effect, the study employs the vec
Bristande kunskap om psykisk ohälsa och behandling har visats hindra unga från att söka hjälp vid psykisk ohälsa. Samtidigt behöver ansvarsområden mellan första linjens instanser förtydligas för att barn och unga som lider av psykisk ohälsa ska veta vart de kan vända sig. Denna studie undersökte ungdomars perspektiv på psykisk ohälsa och första linjens insatser samt hur mående och kunskap var rela
Abstract This study tested the effect of environmental concentrations of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) sertraline on the life history of Daphnia magna and how individual-level responses could predict effects on population growth rate. Individual-level responses related to reproduction, growth and feeding were quantified in a 39-day bioassay and used in a life-table matrix. Alt
Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka experimentledareffekter i ett false belief-test. Utifrån detta syfte konstruerades ett false belief-test i form av en kort tecknad film. Med utgångspunkt i tidigare forskning var hypotesen att de barn som tittade på filmen utan experimentledarens närvaro skulle klara false belief-uppgiften bättre än de som tittade tillsammans med en vuxen. Det fanns
