The goal of this thesis is to gain knowledge on the psychological reality of some known rules, conditions, and categorizations that have been observed in the phenomenon of Japanese “rendaku” (also known as sequential voicing). The results presented in this thesis are based on a quantitative study that was aimed at native speakers of Japanese. The conducted experiment for this study was designed as
The structure and dynamics of isolated Stratum Corneum lipids in different temperatures and hydration conditions was investigated using natural abundance 13 C NMR and X-ray scattering. In order to isolate the lipids a new extraction method was tested. The novel aspect of this method was its ability to extract more lipids from SC. This new method (referred to as Method II in-text) was further modif
På senare år har utvecklingen inom EU på konkurrensrättens område medfört ett ökat fokus på privat tillämpning av konkurrensreglerna, där skadeståndstalan vid skada som uppstått till följd av överträdelser av EU:s antitrustregler utgör en särskilt viktig del. Rätten till skadestånd vid överträdelse av EU:s antitrustregler fastslogs av EU-domstolen i det s.k. Courage-målet år 2001. I de allra flestIn recent years, the development within the European Union in the field of competition law has brought an increased attention to private enforcement of competition law. Actions for damages following damage caused by restrictions of competition are of special importance in promoting such private enforcement. The right to claim damages for breach of EU antitrust rules was established by the Court of
The Arctic tundra has been considered as one of the most sensitive areas to global climate change. One impact of global warming is that permafrost thawing could result in more waterlogged and anaerobic conditions, and consequently an increasing release of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. These potential CH4 emissions can further amplify global warming. Therefore, it is important to assess the quan
I juni förra året föreslog Kommissionen att tillämpningen av Koncentrationsförordningen skulle utvidgas till att omfatta icke-kontrollerande minoritetsförvärv. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att bedöma huruvida den föreslagna reformen är motiverad från ett rättsligt perspektiv. Det finns belägg för att icke-kontrollerande minoritetsförvärv kan ha väsentliga negativa effekter för konkurrensen. SåIn June 2013, the Commission proposed that the scope of merger control in the EU should be extended to include non-controlling minority shareholding acquisitions. The purpose of this thesis is to assess whether the proposed legal reform is motivated from a legal perspective. There is proof that non-controlling minority shareholdings may have significant anti-competitive effects. Indeed, such acqu
This thesis is concerned with women’s education and the perceived effects it might have on households’ livelihood diversification into the rural non-farm economy. In addition, it looks at household welfare and how women’s education and potentially livelihood diversification adds to better welfare. Increasing human capital through education is thought to have positive outcomes for women in their ro
This thesis has its focus on the interaction between competition law and the public procurement regime. Since the two systems have the same objective of the creation of an internal market it is vital that the two systems reach coherence. Despite this there is now express provision on the importance to fight anti competitive behaviour in the Public Sector Directive 2004/18/EC. On March 28th 2014 th
Purpose The purpose of the report is to look into the effect of changing from air shipments to sea shipments at Tetra Pak Technical Service AB and the economical and environmental impact of such a change on the supply chain. Methodology The report is carried out by collecting the data regarding the different transportation modes in interviews with responsible persons within Tetra Pak and the trans
Åtkomst till bevismaterial är avgörande för att förverkliga det straffrättsliga ansvaret. Idag är en stor del av detta bevismaterial digitalt och i syfte att skydda och hemlighålla sådan information används i allt större utsträckning kryptering. Kryptering, som enklast möjligt kan sägas utgöra den digitala versionen av att låsa in material i ett kassaskåp, innebär att man utan den särskilda dekrypBeing able to access evidence is crucial for the realisation of responsibility under criminal law. In today’s world, a large part of what can potentially be evidence is stored digitally. In order to protect and keep digital information confidential, encryption is becoming widespread. Encryption, put simply, can be said to be the digital version of locking material in a safe, and basically means th
Popular summary Energy generation from renewable sources is one of the main issues to be solved for the 21st century. One of the most advanced technologies currently available is wind energy, which has a large potential onshore and offshore. However, in many cases wind energy is restricted to large wind parks with wind power plants sometimes exceeding heights of 100 m. The construction of large wi

Wood and wood-based materials are common materials used in buildings, both in- and outdoors. However, wood is vulnerable to water and moisture which is why it is essential to keep it dry and prevent moisture from getting into the wood. Thus, there are multiple methods to protect the wood against moisture, such as using paint, oil, impregnation, or different metal profiles. Fasteners penetrating wo
Dataskydd och utvecklingen av lagstiftning och riktlinjer för användningen av ansiktsigenkänning är ett otroligt högaktuellt ämne världen över. Parallellt med EU:s restriktiva förhållningssätt till AI-system, vilket har resulterat i ett av världens mest omfattande rättsliga ram för integritet och dataskydd, finns ett stort intresse för ansiktsigenkänning hos både offentliga förvaltningar och privaData protection and the development of legislation and guidelines for the use of face recognition is a topical issue worldwide. Parallel with the EU's restrictive approach to AI systems, which has resulted in one of the world's most comprehensive legal frameworks for the protection of privacy and data protection, there is a great deal of interest in the use of face recognition among both p
Tidigare forskning om traumabehandling har framför allt undersökt verksamma behandlingsmetoder kvantitativt. Den här studiens syfte var därför att kvalitativt undersöka vad psykologer upplever som viktigt i en lyckad traumabehandling av personer med posttraumatiskt stressyndrom. Intervjuer genomfördes med tio legitimerade psykologer som har klinisk erfarenhet av att arbeta med traumabehandling. EnPrevious research on trauma treatments has focused mainly on effective treatment methods from a quantitative perspective. The purpose of this study was therefore to qualitatively explore what psychologists’ view as important in a successful trauma treatment with individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder. Interviews were conducted with ten licensed clinical psychologists, who all have clinical
Pinus sylvestris (tall) är en betydelsefull trädart i Sverige och Europa, både ekonomiskt och kulturellt sett. Trädet infekteras dock av den destruktiva rottickan (Heterobasidion spp.) vilket resulterar i stora ekonomiska förluster inom skogsindustrin, med en uppskattad monetär förlust på ca 800 miljoner EUR årligen i Europa. Det är svårt att upptäcka svampen i tidiga infektionsstadier eftersom inPinus sylvestris (Scots pine) is an important tree species in Sweden and Europe, both economically and culturally. However, the highly destructive root rot fungi Heterobasidion spp. infect P. sylvestris and cause major economic losses in the forest industry, estimated to about 800 million EUR annually in Europe alone. Detection of the fungus in early stages is hard, as the infection mainly stays i
Escherichia coli (E. coli) can cause disease in both humans and animals. For poultry, avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) is a common problem. Even birds living in apparently healthy flocks die from infections caused by E. coli. To help increase the health of poultry a new aerosol vaccine formulation based on outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from E. coli was evaluated using ELISA to compare the amount o

Parental alienation is when a child is deliberately turned against one of their parents through manipulation or influence, often by the othe
