Uppsatsen undersöker innehållet i en, vid tiden för författandet, oprövad straffrättslig regel som kriminaliserar människoexploatering. Kriminaliseringen innebär delvis ett förbud motatt utnyttja någons beroendställning eller svåra situation för att exploatera personen i arbete under uppenbart orimliga villkor. Innebörden av dessa rekvisit undersöks i uppsatsen. I uppsatsen efterforskar författareThis thesis examines the content in a, at the time of writing, ciriminal law provision that outlaws human exploitation that has not yet been used. This criminalization implies a prohibition against exploitation in work under obviously unreasonable conditions by means of using that person’s dependant situation or hardship. The meaning of these requisites is examined in the thesis. The thesis attemp

På grund av svåra metodologiska och praktiska svårigheter domineras forskning om bolagsstyrning i allmänhet och styrelseeffektivitet i synnerhet av relativt ytliga modeller. Så kallade black boxstudier är mycket vanliga, och kontrasteras mest av rent konceptuella modeller utan kvantitativa amibitioner. Den här uppsatsen kikar in i den svarta lådan och utforskar den interpersonella kontexten i styrDue to severe methodological and practical difficulties, research on corporate governance in general and board performance in particular is dominated by relatively shallow models. So called black box studies are very common, and are contrasted mainly by conceptual models without any quantitative ambitions. This paper peeks into the black box, exploring the interpersonal context within the board ro

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva och analysera det digitala affärsspråket XBRL samt diskutera dess möjliga effekter på företagens informationsgivning vid en framtida tillämpning, med betoning på förutsättningarna i Sverige. Metod: Uppsatsen har en deskriptiv ansats där vi försöker beskriva företeelsen XBRL med hjälp av teori och insamlad empiri i form av en webbenkät till 30 av de störs

Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva och analysera hur motivation av mellanchefer hanteras i offentlig verksamhet. Uppsatsen är genomförd som en kvalitativ fallstudie som är både teorianvändande och teoriutvecklande. Teorin består av klassisk motivationsteori i form av Maslows behovspyramid, Herzbergs och McClellands behovsteorier samt nutida teorier som Human Potential Management, Självmotivation

Lifestyle factors such as participation in cognitively stimulating activities and physical activity are hypothesized to foster neural connections and enhance resilience, thereby attenuating cognitive loss in the context of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. Nonetheless, the relationship between these factors and important clinical outcomes of cognition and brain atrophy

BACKGROUND: The Leiden group and the Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS)-MRI study group have proposed definitions for structural (SL) and active (AL) lesions typical for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) on MRI of the sacroiliac joints (MRI-SIJ).OBJECTIVES: To analyse the predictive validity of proposed SL and AL MRI-SIJ definitions in early axSpA and compare proposed AL wi

The radioactive isotope Sn-107 was studied using Coulomb excitation at the REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN. This is the lightest odd-Sn nucleus examined using this technique. The reduced transition probability of the lowest-lying 3/2(+) state was measured and is compared to shell-model predictions based on several sets of single-neutron energies relative to Sn-100. Similar to the transition probabilit

A set of B(E2) values for the low-lying excited states in the radioactive isotope Sn-109 were deduced from a Coulomb excitation experiment. The 2.87-MeV/u radioactive beam was produced at the REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN and was incident on a secondary Ni-58 target. The B(E2) values were determined using the known 2(+) -> 0(+) reduced transition probability in Ni-58 as normalization with the semicl

Akademisk teori såväl som politiska diskussioner framhåller ofta entreprenörskap som gynnsamt för ekonomisk tillväxt. De specifika teoretiska mekanismerna som gör att entreprenörskap leder till tillväxt har dock inte kunnat fastslås och det är därför inte klart om entreprenörskap alltid är ekonomiskt gynnsamt, och för vem? I denna artikel kommer vi att sammanfatta den empiriska forskningen inom en

The radioactive isotope In-107 was studied using sub-barrier Coulomb excitation at the REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN. Two gamma rays were observed during the experiment, corresponding to the low-lying 11/2(+) and 3/2(-)states. The reduced transition probability of the 11/2(+) state was determined with the semiclassical Coulomb excitation code GOSIA2. The result is discussed in comparison to large-sc

Objectives To evaluate the first experience of real-time instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) measurement by clinicians. Background The iFR is a new vasodilator-free index of coronary stenosis severity, calculated as a trans-lesion pressure ratio during a specific period of baseline diastole, when distal resistance is lowest and stable. Because all previous studies have calculated iFR offline, the

Background Up-to-date evidence on levels and trends for age-sex-specifi c all-cause and cause-specifi c mortality is essential for the formation of global, regional, and national health policies. In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) we estimated yearly deaths for 188 countries between 1990, and 2013. We used the results to assess whether there is epidemiological convergence across

Background: There is much interest in how the Amazon rainforest may respond to future rainfall reduction. However, there are relatively few ecosystem-scale studies to inform this debate. Aims: We described the carbon cycle in a 1 ha rainforest plot subjected to 8-10 consecutive years of ca. 50% through-fall reduction (TFR) and compare these results with those from a nearby, unmodified control plot

We analysed and compared the functioning of UV-B screening pigments in plants from marine, fresh water and terrestrial ecosystems, along the evolutionary line of cyanobacteria, unicellular algae, primitive multicellular algae, charophycean algae, lichens, mosses and higher plants, including amphibious macrophytes. Lichens were also included in the study. We were interested in the following key asp

The glutamatergic neurotransmission system and the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) have been implicated in smoking and alcohol consumption behavior. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that nicotine and ethanol influence NMDAR functionality, which may have a role in tendencies to consume these substances. Nonetheless, little is known about concentrations of NMDAR coagonists in the cerebros

Chowdury and Others v Greece reveals the exploitation that migrant workers suffer at agricultural farms for production of strawberries whose sweet taste many of us enjoy. Greece was found in violation of Article 4 of the ECHR (the right not to be subjected to forced labour and human trafficking) for its failure to protect the migrants from the exploitation and to conduct effective investigation. T

BACKGROUND: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening and concomitant treatment can be implemented in several ways. The authors investigated how the net benefit of PSA screening varies between common practice versus “good practice.”. METHODS: Microsimulation screening analysis (MISCAN) was used to evaluate the effect on quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) if 4 recommendations were followed: limite

Sub-barrier Coulomb excitation was performed on a mixed beam of 62Mn and 62Fe, following in-trap β− decay of 62Mn at REX-ISOLDE, CERN. The trapping and charge breeding times were varied in order to alter the composition of the beam, which was measured by means of an ionisation chamber at the zero-angle position of the Miniball array. A new transition was observed at 418 keV, which has been tentati

Defining minimal standards for data collection is key to creating interoperative, searchable genomic and clinical databases. We highlight here the 1+Million Genomes Minimal Dataset for Cancer, encompassing 140 items in 8 domains to foster the collection of cancer data, inform transnational cooperation and advance precision cancer medicine.
