Förenta nationernas konvention angående avtal om internationella köp av varor är till antalet länder som ratificerat densamma en av de mest lyckade internationella regelverk mellan stater hittills. 62 deltagande länder i den förberedande processen, varav många från olika juridiska system, medförde att kompromisser angående innehållet i regelverket var oundvikliga. Som ett resultat av detta kan tveThe United Nations Convention on Contracts for The International Sale of Goods is one of the most successful instruments of uniform commercial law worldwide. With 62 countries from a variety of legal backgrounds involved in the preparation process of such an instrument compromises are inevitable regarding the substance of the provisions involving controversial issues. As a result, compromises migh
The (re)appearance of different Far-Right parties in Italy during the last decades brought me to the decision to write my Master's thesis about this topic. Due to the fact that in this country, together with a long tradition of support for Far-Right ideologies, more than one tipology of Far-Right party exists, an interesting scenario is open for the analysis. I will study the cases of Lega Nor
Good communication is of utmost importance in all forms of cancer care and especially so in the palliative context.

For instance, to die from cancer can be described as ’coming to the end of a life journey’ or ’losing a battle’. Metaphors are
Popular Abstract in Swedish Olyckor i järnvägssektorn kan ge upphov till katastrofala konsekvenser. I första hand kan människors liv och hälsa drabbas, men allvarliga konsekvenser kan även uppstå för samhället i stort.

This paper aims to describe the brownboard tool and to elaborate on its characteristics. Brownboard can be seen as a tool within process mapping and it is focused on supply chain traceability. The process map is created in a dynamical group process where supply chain actors with different competence level meet and interact. The brownboard tool is used in a case study based on a Swedish supply cha
In recent years shortages of donated blood have become a growing problem for health care systems world-wide. Blood substitutes based on human haemoglobin (Hb) could potentially ameliorate this situation. However, clinical trials have indicated problems due to e.g. oxidative stress. This thesis describes ways to detoxify the Hb by modulating radical reactions or by reducing radical toxicity using a
This paper reports on the challenges computer forensic investigators face in relation to collaborative decision making, communication and coordination.

The performance of eight fast-response methane (CH4) gas analysers suitable for eddy covariance flux measurements were tested at a grassland site near the Cabauw tall tower (Netherlands) during June 2012. The instruments were positioned close to each other in order to minimise the effect of varying turbulent conditions. The moderate CH4 fluxes observed at the location, of the order of 25 nmol m(-2
Bridge splitting in chloroform of the orthometalated chloro-bridged complex [Pt(mu-Cl)(2-Me2NCH2C6H4)](2) (1), with ethene, cyclooctene, allyl alcohol and phosphine according to 1 + 2L --> 2 [PtCl(2-Me2NCH2C6H4)(L)], where L = C2H4 (3a), C8H14, (3b), CH2CHCH2OH (3c), and PPh3 (4a and 4b) gives monomeric species with L coordinated trans or cis to aryl. With olefins the thermodynamically stable isom
Den 1 juli 2018 förändrades den svenska våldtäktslagstiftningen. Gränsen mellan tillåtet sex och otillåtna övergrepp flyttades från tvång till frivillighet. En del av debatten som föregått lagändringen har handlat om hur processen i domstol skulle kunna påverkas. Framför allt har det sagts att bevissvårigheter kommer att uppstå samt att våldtäktsoffret kommer att vara i fokus vid den rättsliga pröOn July 1st 2018 the Swedish legislation concerning rape was changed.

The debate prior to the amendment of the law has partly concerned how the legal process in the courts would be affected by this change. It has been pointed out that there will be difficulties regarding evidence and that
