Den här uppsatsen undersöker hur det arbetsrättsliga skyddet samt kollektiv-avtalen för professionella lagidrottare som blir gravida eller föräldrar ser ut. Uppsatsen kikar också närmare på de praktiska problem som kan uppstå i spänningen mellan idrottsjuridiken och samhällets lagar och regler. De lagid-rotter som arbetet undersökt är fotboll, ishockey, basket, handboll och inne-bandy. För att kun
This thesis explores the interaction between conceptions of the right of self-defense in the legally unsettled contexts of cyber armed attacks and non-state actors on foreign territory, examining their respective operational complexities individually and synergistically. Utilizing a legal positivist methodology, the thesis highlights how interpretations of the ratione conditionis of the lawful exe
Therapeutic peptides can often not be formulated as tablets by themselves as they’re prone to enzyme degradation the oral route - they also do not present good enough passage through epithelial cells to be viable for this dosage form. But if formulated together with surfactants, e.g., sodium caprate (C10), the absorption through epithelial cells can be increased. When peptides and absorption enhan
The IPUMS Multigenerational Longitudinal Panel (MLP) is a longitudinal population panel that links American censuses, surveys, administrative sources, and vital records spanning the period from 1850 to the present. This article explains the rationale for IPUMS MLP, outlines the design of the infrastructure, and describes the linking methods used to construct the panel. We then detail our plans for
Infections are a common reason for hospitalization, and when an infection is accompanied by organ failure, the patient is considered to have sepsis. The most severely ill sepsis patients are treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Identifying sepsis at ICU admission is, however, challenging, since most ICU patients present with organ failure and there is no gold standard for infection diagnosis.
We study the impact of research and development (R&D) intensity on acquisitions in R&D intensive industries. First, we look at the impact of target R&D intensity on acquirer return to see if it is affected by acquisition premiums. Second, we study the impact of target R&D intensity relative to acquirer R&D intensity and look at whether this impact is affected when the companies
This thesis defines the finite projective plane and the affine projective plane. A method of construction is defined for the field planes by extension of the affine plane constructed from the vector space over a finite field. The thesis explores for which orders planes can and cannot be constructed, in particular, for the prime powers there exist planes. For n=6 a computer search is conducted usin
Publishing preprints is quickly becoming commonplace in ecology and evolutionary biology. Preprints can facilitate the rapid sharing of scientific knowledge establishing precedence and enabling feedback from the research community before peer review. Yet, significant barriers to preprint use exist, including language barriers, a lack of understanding about the benefits of preprints and a lack of d
How does emigration affect sending states’ welfare policies? Existing migration literature has identified numerous political, economic, and institutional variables that influence sending states’ approaches towards emigrants’ welfare. However, this literature has neglected broader processes of social transformation in sending states. Using the concept of welfare regime transnationalization, we show
Qanats are renewable water supply systems that have sustained human settlement on the Iranian plateau for millennia. By their very nature, Qanats have encouraged sustainable water use. Recent intense socio-economic changes in Iran have introduced other water harvesting methods like dams and deep wells. The short run advantages of new methods caused Qanats to be laid aside even though the applicati
Objectives: Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) libraries have limited capabilities for identification of Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus-complex (SBSEC) subspecies. The objective was to develop and validate novel MALDI-TOF MS libraries adapted to diagnostic culturing and sampling conditions for improved identification of SBSEC subs
This article examines the paradoxical role of borders in shaping crime in the 21st century, particularly within the context of some of the world’s most profitable and harmful transnational and organized crime. Drawing on examples such as drug trafficking, environmental crime, and Internet-based crimes, it is argued that the proliferation of ‘borders’—both physical, bureaucratic, and digital—has cr
Drought, a widely recognised and far-reaching natural hazard, has a profound impact on the global economy and the environment. This complex phenomenon, characterised by its severity, duration and spatial extent, is central to understanding its multifaceted impacts. Drought indices are an important tool for characterising and monitoring drought conditions. They provide a simplified way to understan
The purpose of our study was to explore what it is like to have a distressing near-death experience (NDE) and the aftereffects that follow. Positive NDEs have previously been more extensively studied, whereas research about distressing NDEs is still lacking. There have only been a handful of studies that have used qualitative methods to study both distressing and positive NDEs. We accessed all dis
In this paper, we delve into the evolutionary foundation of both probability weighting and hyperbolic discounting. It is argued that it is evolution which selects between various kinds of people those who have the optimal preference profile. As such, utility functions and behavioural biases can be explained from an evolutionary perspective. It is also argued that there may be an intimate connectio
The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether there existed a trade-off between outreach to the poor and efficiency of MFIs between year 2000 and 2010. The study is conducted on a sample of 1679 observations from countries worldwide and is analyzed through Stochastic Frontier Analysis. The results from this study suggest that there was indeed a negative correlation between outreach to the poor
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have become a fundamental part of business infrastructure. However, the high failure rate of ERP implementations points out that there are still many issues that need to be addressed. In an effort to minimize the risk associated to the ERP implementation process, a number of critical success factors (CSFs) have been introduced. However, CSFs are presented
