In this thesis, emphasise is on the positive impact companies that can have on the fulfilment of human rights. Regarding human rights and business, one can mainly read about companies' violations of human rights. In my opinion, this negative approach will not stimulate them to improve their policies and performances. A more positive approach can be a motivation for companies to take the opport

The duty of utmost good faith in the marine insurance contract law and the duty of good faith in the general contract law are quite similar in nature. Former recognises that the parties must make true representation and must disclose all material information while latter recognises the duty of representation only and does not at all recognise the duty of disclosure. The parties in the marine insu
Objective. To evaluate the Cockcroft - Gault (CG) equation, using various body weight expressions, and the Sawyer equation in predicting glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using an enzymatic and zero-calibrated Jaffe plasma-creatinine assay, and to derive a new robust equation in adults. Material and methods. The CG weight measures included total, ideal and adjusted body weight (ABW; lowest of total
OBJECTIVES: Essential hypertension is a complex condition whose cause involves the interaction of multiple genetic and environmental factors such as salt intake. Salt-inducible kinase 1 (SIK1) is a sucrose-nonfermenting-like kinase isoform that belongs to the AMPK (5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase) family. SIK1 activity is increased by high salt intake and plays an essential rol
Distance relays are one of the most important components of protection available to power system protection engineers. Distance relays can benefit from ideas in the newly developed field of adaptive protection, and can offer an even more selective and sensitive form of protection, under a variety of power system configurations. A new fast adaptive distance protection scheme for single line to grou
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells have been promoted due to significant breakthroughs in various aspects and increasing public interests. The porous features of the gas diffusion layer (GDL) and the necessary assembly processes generate localized pressure forces on the channel/shoulder structure of the bi-polar plates (BPP). As a consequence, the assembly pressure acting on a single cell a
This article analyzes producer-consumer relations in social media marketing in the Swedish dairy industry. The article discusses how ideas of interspecies intimacy are publicly performed in an interactive process between the dairy industry producers and social media users. Two examples from the Swedish dairy industry were chosen for analysis: one Instagram account and one Facebook account. The ana
This paper presents a new robust microphone array to enhance speech signal under the influence of noise and jammer(s). The proposed structure comprises of a soft constrained subband beamformer, a blocking system and a non-coherent processing technique. The soft constrained beamformer enhances the desired speech signal in a specified region by suppressing all side-lobes. This enhanced signal is the

The purpose of this review is to evaluate effective distraction techniques that could be applicable to preschool children in the radiology department. Databases used for search were MEDLINE and CINAHL. Due to a lack of literature on distraction techniques in the radiology setting, studies included were from auxiliary health care practices. Results in less invasive interventions were positive when
The essence of cloud computing is about moving workloads from your local IT infrastructure to a data center that scales and provides resources at a moments notice. Using a pay-as-you-go model to rent virtual infrastructure is also known as a Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering. This helps consumers provision hardware on-demand without the need for physical infrastructure and the challenges
Livsmedelsproduktionen bidrar till klimatförändringarna via utsläpp av koldioxid, men de två växthusgaser som påverkar klimatet mest och uppkommer via köttindustrin är metan och lustgas. Idag står produktionen av kött och mejerier för cirka 15 % de globala utsläppen, vilket är lika mycket som utsläppen från bilar, flygplan, bussar och båtar genererar tillsammans. Livsmedelssektorn inom Sverige ståThis study shows that by choosing plant-based organic food for lunch in the Swedish elementary school, one of the national environmental objectives in Sweden, Reduced climate impact, can benefit and be achieved sooner. Four respondents have been interviewed regarding Lund municipality and its commitment to become 100 % organic by the year 2020 and if the municipality reduces their use of animal pr
Through recent years, RNA has rapidly gone from mainly being known as a passive information-carrying molecule within the central dogma of molecular biology to becoming the active ingredient in multiple therapeutics, such as in vaccines and potential drugs against cancer. However, one of the main challenges with RNA as a therapeutic is efficient delivery to cells. Understanding the mechanism throug
Large digital platforms impact the entire internal market of the EU. In particular, three challenges characterise their relationship with businesses and end-users, “access to data”, “imbalanced bargaining power”, and “degrading data privacy”, where the common denominator is personal data. This thesis investigates to what extent these challenges are regulated in the GDPR, Article 102 TFEU and the D
Fastigheter anses på grund av dess unika egenskaper att vara en av de bästa skattebaserna, och i takt med globaliseringens acceleration blir betydelsen av skatteintäkter från denna skattebas allt större. I Sverige har skatteuttaget från denna skattebas trendvis minskat med åren, något som sticker ut på ett internationell plan. Syftet med rapporten är att jämföra olika fastighetsbeskattningsmodellReal estate is regarded as one of the best tax bases due to its unique characteristics. As globalization accelerates, the importance of this tax base is increasing. In Sweden, the tax revenue from real estate has trended downward over the years, something that stands out internationally. The purpose of this report is to compare different property taxation models for detached single-unit propertie
