In 2009 when President Nasheed began his presidency in the Maldives, he launched a unique environmental project that put the country at the fore front of international environmental politics and the battle against climate change. However, in the past ten years a new picture of the Maldives has occurred where those in power seem to put more effort into development and economic growth than environme
The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate the difficulties that arise in the construction process by analyzing documentations from real-life construction processes that occurred in four municipally in Skåne. By mapping out all the problems that arise, opportunities for improvement will be obvious and thus efficiency solutions can be proposed. After a conversation with a control inspector
The main topic of this thesis is the storage location assignment problem, which can also be seen as a traveling salesman problem. The objective is to find the shortest path between items to be picked at a medium-sized warehouse. Orders come in batches consisting of items that will be assembled in-house. Therefore, it is essential to pick up all the items contained in the batch before they are drop
At the turn of the twentieth century, Swedish painter Eugène Jansson created a series of paintings inspired by the city nights of Stockholm. This bachelor thesis examines the paintings in relation to urban gay spaces and sexual meetings in the early nineteen hundreds. The paintings by Jansson, himself a homosexual male, have at a few times vaguely been described as portraying the moments before an
Sverige har både idag och historiskt sett haft en stark aktiebolagsrättslig lagstiftning. Framför allt gagnar denna starka lagstiftning aktieägarens rättigheter i förhållande till aktiebolaget som entitet. Vid sidan av den aktiebolagsrättsliga lagstiftningen ligger avtalsrätten. Där båda områdena faller inom civilrätten, är dessa regelverk nära förankrade med varandra. Aktiebolagsrätten är menad aSweden has both today and historically had strong company law legislation. Above all, this strong legislation benefits the shareholder's rights in relation to limited company as an entity. In addition to the company law legislation is contract law. Where both areas fall within civil law, these regulations are closely linked. Company law is intended to regulate the form of association as such
Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder that attacks a person's nervous system. The disease is incurable and can cause cognitive symptoms such as tremors and impaired movement. A Parkinson's patient has several different caregivers. It is important that the patient has access to palliative care throughout the disease. To assist patients and healthcare providers, a support plan ha
Attracting tourists from all over the world throughout the year, the flourishing of mass tourism in Bali has been perpetual for the last few decades. As both domestic and international tourists increase over time, the demand for built-up areas increases accordingly, which has caused urban expansion exploiting vegetated areas, especially agricultural lands. Consequently, this tourism-led urbanizati
Innovation is the source of new products and processes that expand the frontiers of competition. Advancements in technology are continuously occurring throughout the world as firms seek to develop new ideas for their products, services and markets. Most technology licensing is pro-competitive and should be encouraged by competition authorities. Nevertheless, in legal and economic spheres the conne
Volatile conflicts, poverty and suppression of basic human rights stemming from one's political or religious affiliations, gender and race, are some of the various reasons why thousands flee home in the hopes of finding some kind of security. As the world observes the appalling deterioration of conflicts in Western Sudan, Iraq and Haiti, we simultaneously observe neighbouring or developed coun
In 2003 France introduced an ecologic protection zone off its Mediterranean coast. In that zone France has jurisdiction regarding environmental protection. This thesis will examine whether the zone is in conformity with existing international law and whether it was a necessary measure despite all the existing environmental protection in the Mediterranean Sea area. The thesis is structured as a com
The ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus decomposes proteins using a two-step mechanism, including oxidation and proteolysis. Oxidation involves the action of extracellular hydroxyl radicals (•OH) generated by the Fenton reaction. This reaction requires the presence of iron(II). Here, we monitored the speciation of extracellular iron and the secretion of iron(III)-reducing metabolites during
The bacteriophage vB_YecM-φR1-37 (φR1-37) is a lytic yersiniophage that can propagate naturally in different Yersinia species carrying the correct lipopolysaccharide receptor. This large-tailed phage has deoxyuridine (dU) instead of thymidine in its DNA. In this study, we determined the genomic sequence of phage φR1-37, mapped parts of the phage transcriptome, characterized the phage particle prot
INTRODUCTION: Recently, an increasing number of tau tracers have become available. There is a need to standardize quantitative tau measures across tracers, supporting a universal scale. We developed several cortical tau masks and applied them to generate a tau imaging universal scale. METHOD: One thousand forty-five participants underwent tau scans with either 18F-flortaucipir, 18F-MK6240, 18F-PI2
In recent decades, population increase and urban development have led to catastrophic environmental consequences. One of the principal objectives to achieve “sustainable development” is to find suitable landfills. Due to their physical characteristics, which have led to a lack of landfill sites and closeness to water bodies, agricultural fields, and residential areas, the cities of Javanrood, Pave
Background: Obtaining reliable data under explicit evaluations is one of the most complicated challenges in assessing drug users' status. Respondents are likely to give answers that are to their advantage or deliberately deceitful. Regarding drug use, intense and inevitable drug craving is known as one of the main causes of relapse and treatment failure. As a matter of fact, drug craving is direct
In 2008, the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE TM46 UC) presented an annual-fixed thermal energy benchmark of 240 kWh/m2/yr for university campus (UC) buildings as an attempt to reduce energy consumption in public buildings. However, the CIBSE TM46 UC benchmark fails to consider the difference between energy demand in warm and cold months, as the thermal performance of bu
DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DECLs) interrogate the interactions of a target of interest with vast numbers of molecules. DECLs hence provide abundant information about the chemical ligand space for therapeutic targets, and there is considerable interest in methods for exploiting DECL screening data to predict novel ligands. Here we introduce one such approach and demonstrate its feasibilit
