This master’s thesis examines how ideas pertaining to economic and moral behaviour, ideals and threats were expressed, shaped and understood in the public debate about the state lottery – kungliga nummerlotteriet – in Sweden during early nineteenth century. At the time, state lotteries wer

A particle accelerator consists of a large number of components, which among other things includes several acceleration modules, which consists of one or several cavities. A cavity is a complex and essential part in the accelerations process and is usually made of oxygen-free copper (OFC) or niobium. These two materials are special when it comes to metal cutting, it´s hard to find information abou

Corporate Accelerators (CA) have become popular over the years as a means of corporate engagement with startups. Existing research highlights the importance of CA’s role in increasing the likelihood of success for the new and inexperienced startups. Yet, there is a significant research gap in gauging the perceptions and opinions of entrepreneurs and startup founders who participated and collaborat

In previous years, the crisis communication literature has increasingly emphasised the need for closer examination of internal crisis communication, thereby focussing on employees during crises. Additionally, so far, no research has been conducted exploring internal crisis communication and its impact on employee well-being. The present study aimed at closing this gap by investigating whether inte

I samband med att aktiebolag utbjuds till försäljning ställs en rad olika juridiska spörsmål på sin spets. Inför en företagsöverlåtelse bör köparen genomföra en företagsbesiktning avseende målbolaget innan transaktionen genomförs. Vid denna undersökning har både köparen och säljaren ett intresse av att målbolaget lämnar ut värdefull information, som i vissa fall kan vara konfidentiell, för att görAs a limited company is subject to an acquisition several legal issues arise. In connection with the acquisition the buyer should therefore carry out a due diligence before the transaction is completed. Both the seller and the buyer have an interest of that the target company is sharing valuable information, which could be confidential, in order to make a correct valuation of the target company. T

This paper reviews the literature on R&D and productivity to provide a guideline to readers by combining all the findings in one title. According to the results, empirical studies analyse R&D spending from different angles by considering the characteristic of such spending. The results show that return to basic research is higher than return to applied R&D. Furthermore, in order to est

Den här uppsatsen handlar om nedskräpning, insamling och återvinning av plast på Bali i Indonesien. På grund av osäkra avfallshanteringssystem, brist på kunskap och få incitament för insamling, har plastavfall en tendens att hamna i naturen där det sedan förorenar mark och vatten, och därmed utgör en risk för djurs och människors hälsa. Genom en fallstudie av den vinstdrivande och sociala organisaThis thesis studies plastic littering, collection and recycling on Bali in Indonesia. Due to unsound waste management systems, low awareness and few incentives for collection, plastic waste has the tendency to leak to the environment, where it pollutes land and water, and poses a threat to wildlife and human health. With a case study of the for-profit social enterprise the Plastic Bank that trades

I Eslövs kommun blev det nyligen aktuellt att en av kommunens företag med äldst bakgrund, Arjo Huntleigh Getinge Group, planerat att avveckla alla sina produktionsenheter och flytta dessa utomlands. Detta beslut innebär onekligen negativa nyheter för Eslövs kommun som mister en av deras största arbetsgivare. Emellertid är detta något som hänt Eslöv förut när kommunens före detta största och älds

Clusters of stem cells at the tip of each plant shoot give rise to all of its above-ground organs, effectively controlling the development and the physical shape of the plant. A core network of negative feedback between CLAVATA3 (CLV3) and WUSCHEL (WUS) regulate the stem cells existence and behaviour in Arabidopsis thaliana. Despite the close relationship of these genes, their expression domains a

Due to the globalization with free labour transfer, migrant workers are unavoidably the most targeted group for human trafficking business. Trafficking in persons is a global issue because of its engagement with the international organized crime. Apart from that, as the Protocol on Trafficking in Persons has been in force since 2003, States have turned their attention to the issue and many of them

Induction machines have been used in a wide range of applications due to its robustness and its low price. These characteristics make the induction machine a suitable option for industrial and home environments especially for those applications where the required speed is constant and the load does not change drastically. As an alternative to the induction machine, the synchronous machine, particu

Problem Statement: The project started with a request from IKEA to contribute more to the environment. The task for this project, issued by IKEA, was to create a concept for a free-standing indoor storage unit for recyclable waste. The unit should hold at least seven different types of waste: cardboard, plastic, paper, metal, glass, deposit waste and some smaller hazardous waste, such as batteries

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hypertriglyceridemi (förhöjd plasma triglycerid(TG)nivå) är en riskfaktor för hjärt- kärlsjukdom. Det har föreslagits att relationen mellan fettintag och arterioskleros orsakas av vad som utspelar sig timmarna efter måltid. TG i chylomikronerna (CM) , dvs de fettrika partiklar som transporterar kostens fett via lymfan till blodbanan hydrolyseras då av lipoproteinlipas, 1. During incubation of platelets with 3H-arachidonic acid (20:4, n-6) and 14C-cholesterol doubly labelled and colloidal gold labelled chylomicrons (CMs) and chylomicron remnants (CMRs) CMs were taken up more efficiently than CMRs. Addition of unlabelled CMs, VLDLs, LDLs and HDLs decreased the uptake of labelled CMs. Electron microscopic studies demonstrated an accumulation of CM-Au's both in the

Background: Malignant melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer with a variable clinical course even in patients with thin melanomas and localized disease. Despite increasing insights into melanoma biology, no prognostic biomarkers have yet been incorporated into clinical protocols. Reduced expression of the RNA binding motif protein 3 (RBM3) has been shown to correlate with tumour progressi

Background: Celiac disease often goes undiagnosed. Mass screening might be an option to reduce the public health burden of untreated celiac disease. However, mass screening is still controversial since it is uncertain whether the benefits of early detection outweigh the possible negative consequences. Before implementation of screening programs, the experiences of those being identified as cases s

The aim of this study was to develop an in-vitro release method suitable for injectable slow-release lipid formulations of local anaesthetics (or other drugs). We also aimed that the results of the in-vitro measurements should have a clear relationship to duration of action in-vivo. Six formulations of bupivacaine base in medium-chain triglyceride-glyceryl dilaurate mixtures were developed. A new

S-phase fraction (SPF), estimated in the flow cytometric DNA histogram, is a prognostic factor in breast cancer. There are, however, some inherent difficulties in the estimation of SPF, such as the influence of debris, aggregates, and normal cells. Most of the available SPF calculation principles try to consider these difficulties, but so far no consensus has been reached with regard to which prin

BACKGROUND: High concentrations of lithium in drinking water were previously discovered in the Argentinean Andes Mountains. Lithium is used worldwide for treatment of bipolar disorder and treatment-resistant depression. One known side effect is altered thyroid function. OBJECTIVES: We assessed associations between exposure to lithium from drinking water and other environmental sources and thyroid
