I denna uppsats undersöker vi problemrepresentationen av migration i EU:s gemensamma migrationspolitik. Analysen har gjorts med hjälp av Carol Bacchis metod för policyanalys ”What’s the problem represented to be?”. Policyn som analyseras är Stockholmsprogrammet. Undersökningen mynnar ut i att migration representeras främst på tre olika sätt, som frihetsproblem, rätteviseproblem och säkerhetsproble

Reglerna rörande tvångslikvidation på grund av kapitalbrist tillhör några av de äldsta reglerna i dagens aktiebolagslag. Deras syfte är att förhindra att bolagets aktiekapital förbrukas genom att föreskriva en rad åtgärder som bolagets styrelse måste vidta när det egna kapitalet befaras understiga hälften av det registrerade aktiekapitalet. Om inte dessa regler följs på ett korrekt sätt riskerar sThe rules regarding compulsory liquidation due to lack of capital are some of the oldest rules in the Swedish Companies Act. Their purpose is to prevent the share capital from being consumed due to losses by providing several actions which the board of directors must take when the company’s equity is less than half of the registered share capital. If the rules are not properly followed the board o

This Master Thesis contains the first stages of the development process of a system to study human gait presenting a final concepts. Moreover, the Master Thesis covers the vibration analysis of a real prototype based on the concepts presented. For the development of this project, there were almost no restrictions or guidelines. Hence, it was necessary a previous process of investigation and re

A detailed study has been made of the method for labeling streptokinase with 99Tc(m) in order to get a radioactive indicator for rapid scintigraphic visualization of thrombi and emboli. The best method found for preparing 99Tc(m) streptokinase was by reducing 99Tc(m) pertechnetate with 2 μmole SnCl2 at pH 0.7 and then adding 50,000 to 75,000 IU of streptokinase at a final pH of about 2. After 1 hr

Objective: Predicting treatment response and disease progression in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains an elusive endeavour. Identifying subgroups of patients with similar progression is essential for understanding what hinders improvement. However, this cannot be achieved with response criteria based on current versus previous Disease Activity Scores, as they lack the time component. We propose a

We analyse the performance of risk reduction strategies for terrorist attacks with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) for large governmental building structures in terms of cost-efficiency, significance and effectiveness accounting for life safety in conjunction with societal preferences and capabilities. The approach builds upon an extended Bayesian pre-posterior decision analysis and the princi

This article introduces an approach and framework for the quantification of the value of structural health monitoring (SHM) in the context of the structural risk and integrity management for systems. The quantification of the value of SHM builds upon the Bayesian decision and utility theory, which facilitates the assessment of the value of information associated with SHM. The principal approach fo

The provision and administration of high quality urban public green spaces intertwines issues of planning, design, management and maintenance with governance. The benefits of such spaces are often tied to social justice, public health and recreation, biodiversity and helping cities to deal with climate change. International policies and changes in public administration have encouraged user partici

Photonic materials for high-temperature applications need to withstand temperatures usually higher than 1000 °C, whilst keeping their function. When exposed to high temperatures, such nanostructured materials are prone to detrimental morphological changes, however the structure evolution pathway of photonic materials and its correlation with the loss of material's function is not yet fully underst

This report is produced within the Urban Transition Øresund (UT) project (2011–2014), and it is part of the subtask Collaborative Methods and Tools for Urban Transitions (UT CoMeT). The goal of the UT project is to promote sustainable growth and advance sustainable urban transformation in the Øresund region by gathering municipalities, universities and businesses in cross-border cooperation. The s

During the last decade, a rapid progress has been made in the development of validated analytical models for the thermal and mechanica1 behaviour of fire exposed structures and structural members. In a long-term perspective, the development now goes towards an analytical design, directly based on a natural fire exposure and specified with respect to the combustion characteristics of the fire load

Popular Abstract in Swedish Wnt-5a-genens betydelse för bröstcellernas normala funktion och för uppkomsten av bröstcancer I min avhandling har jag studerat en i bröstcancersammanhang hittills föga undersökt gen, Wnt-5a. Benämningen Wnt har bildats genom en sammanslagning av "Wingless" (den första identifierade Wnt-genen som orsakar vinglöshet hos bananflugan) och "Int" (från "Integration site" föThe Wnt-5a gene encodes a secreted protein that regulates several normal processes in embryonic and adult tissues by as yet unknown mechanisms. Expression of Wnt-5a protein does not cause cell transformation, but it instead counteracts the effects induced by transforming Wnts. Inasmuch as Wnt-5a can activate the Wnt/beta-catenin signalling pathway, we performed experiments to determine whether mol

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det huvudsakliga syftet med den presenterade forskningen var att bygga en förståelse för hur dynamiken mellan professioner, verktyg och objekt fungerar på en operationsavdelning, som ett led i framtagandet av kunskap användbar vid design av framtidens operationsavdelning med fokus på arbetsmiljö, effektivitet och patient säkerhet. Igenom att undersöka hur olika professiThe main objective of the research presented was to gain an understanding of how the dynamics between professionals, tools and objectives work in an operating unit in order to obtain knowledge useful when designing the operating unit of the future with emphasis on the work environment, effectiveness and patient safety. By investigating how different professions in the operating theatre view their

The design of a digital baseband for a low power wireless receiver in 65 nm CMOS is presented. It consists of decimation filtering, matched filters for data detection, and preamble based synchronization. The circuit was designed using low threshold devices in both low power (LP-LVT) and general-purpose (GP-LVT) domains. The fabricated circuits were functionally verified, and silicon measurements s
