I dagens informationssamhälle vill medborgarna kunna ta del av så mycket information som möjligt, varför visselblåsning har blivit ett mycket uppmärksammat ämne. Visselblåsare utgör ett viktigt kontrollmoment i samhället som historiskt sett avslöjat uppgifter och skandaler av stort allmänintresse. Denna framställning syftar i en första del till att i ett rättsutvecklingsperspektiv redogöra för de In the age of information people want to get hold of as much information as possible, which is probably why whistleblowing has become such a hot topic. Whistleblowers constitute an important body of control in society which historically has revealed information and scandals of great public interest. The aim of this essay is two-folded. First off the aim is to in a perspective of legislative develo

Forskningsfråga: Skiljer sig kapitalstrukturen mellan familjeföretag och icke-familjeföretag? Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka om det finns en skillnad i kapitalstruktur mellan familjeföretag och icke-familjeföretag noterade på börsen i Sverige. Utöver det undersöks hur företagsspecifika variabler, som exempelvis storlek, bransch och lönsamhet, påverkar företagens skuldsättningsgrad. MetodResearch Question: Does the capital structure differ between family-owned and non-family-owned businesses? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a difference in capital structure between family-owned and non-family-owned companies listed on the Swedish stock market. Additionally, the study examines how firm-specific variables, such as size, industry, and profitabil

This thesis has contributed to the methodological development in the field of assistive technology and has generated new knowledge about the effectiveness and the service delivery process when powered mobility devices are provided to adult first time users in a Nordic context. Some of the results have been used to investigate the relationship between the three key elements of Donabedian’s conceptu

Background: Degraded extracellular matrix can stimulate the innate immune system via the Toll-Like Receptor-4 (TLR4). In the pancreas, syndecan-anchored heparan sulphate (HS) on the ductal epithelium can be cleaved off its protein cores by the proteases (trypsin and elastase) and potentially activate TLR4 signalling. Methods: To investigate this signalling event, a low sulphated HS (500 mu g/ml) w

Software inspection is a method to detect faults in the early phases of the software life cycle. In order to estimate the number of faults not found, capture-recapture was introduced for software inspections in 1992 to estimate remaining faults after an inspection. Since then, several papers have been written in the area, concerning the basic theory, evaluation of models and application of the met

The study aims to establish the effectiveness of the Danish destination certification scheme – Destination 21. In order to accomplish this, an analytical framework, based upon current tourism and development theory, was constructed against which the scheme was tested. The analytical framework consists from three analyses examining the schemes framework, substance and applicability. It was found th

We have previously proposed the use of Doppler ultrasound to non-invasively stage sinus infection, as we showed that acoustic streaming could be generated in nonpurulent sinus secretions and helped to distinguish it from mucopurulent sinus secretions. In order to continue this development of a clinically applicable Doppler equipment, we need to determine different dimensions of the paranasal sinus

We present evidence of a submerged early Holocene landscape off the Blekinge coastline in the Baltic Sea, dating to the Yoldia Sea and Initial Littorina Sea Stages when the water level was lower than at present. 14C dated wood remains obtained by surveillance diving and new archaeological findings in combination with bathymetric analyses and interpolations between other sites across the Baltic Sea

Zooplankton have evolved several mechanisms to deal with environmental threats, such as ultraviolet radiation (UVR), and in order to identify strategies inherent to organisms exposed to different UVR environments, we here examine life-history traits of two lineages of Daphnia pulex. The lineages differed in the UVR dose they had received at their place of origin from extremely high UVR stress at h

Automotive brake rotors are commonly made from gray cast iron (GCI). During usage, brake rotors are gradually worn off and periodically replaced. Currently, replaced brake rotors are mostly remelted to produce brand-new cast iron products, resulting in a relatively high energy consumption and carbon footprint into the environment. In addition, automotive brakes emit airborne particles. Some of the

It can be difficult to engage colleagues with the findings and recommendations of an externally-funded project, even when, or perhaps particularly when, it has major implications for institutional processes. The authors were involved with a large single-institution Higher Education change project that aimed to make the university more responsive to changes in curriculum needs, the student voice, e

BECC Grand Seminars constitute a place where different perspectives of a topic, often related to current policy development or of other societal relevance, are brought up and discussed. That is, the seminars link either research and policy development or different research fields. In 2022-2023 the seminars focused on the IPCC AR6 new reports, the CBD COP15 and on environmental policy development a

Microsoft Word - Insp2006examination.doc Abstract—Examination in Higher Education involves university culture, formal rules, teachers’ knowledge and students’ learning efforts. This project researches the interplay between the formal examination system and the development of students’ and teachers’ work in the actual examination process, relating also to changes induced by the Bologna process.

Title: To make a living by library music; Opportunities and prerequisites. The purpose of this essay is to investigate how a music producer or composer can achieve placement of his or her music in commercials, TV-shows, computer games, and other media. What is required to make a living by composing and producing music today? This is a qualitative study made by interviewing six persons, who all in

Irradiating a flame by microwave radiation is one of several plasma-assisted combustion (PAC) technologies that can be used to modify the combustion chemical kinetics in order to improve flame-stability and to delay lean blow-out. One practical implication is that engines may be able to operate with leaner fuel mixtures and have an improved fuel flexibility capability including biofuels. In additi

The aim of this thesis was to reconstruct the glaciodynamics, deglacial landforms, isostatic uplift and to date the deglaciation. Glaciodynamics and deglacial landforms were focused on to provide a process and depositional model for De Geer moraine and Niemisel moraine and to reveal their internal and spatial relationship, based on detailed sedimentological and structural investigations. The isost

The work presented in this dissertation is concerned with the microstructures and surface roughness of test slabs of Ti-6Al-4V produced by one of powder based Additive Manufacturing (AM) technique namely electron beam melting (EBM). The effects of process parameters of a EBM system and geometry factors of a EBM build such as slabs’ thickness and height etc. on the microstructure and the surface ro
