This paper explores how marketing is conducted in for-profit social ventures. Knowledge regarding the for-profit social context is considered rather limited given that it has been largely marginalized by being associated either to the fully for-profit or solely non-profit extremes. In that respect, much of the existing literature has not to acknowledge the unique challenges that a dual mission, su

Sverige är sedan 1971 ansluten till FN-konventionen om avskaffande av alla former av rasdiskriminering. Konventionen tillkom som en reaktion mot rasdiskriminerande förtryck i form av apartheid och kolonialism. Varje konventionsstat är enligt konventionens art. 4(b) skyldig att olagligförklara och förbjuda organisationer som främjar och uppmanar till rasdiskriminering. Trots upprepad kritik från

Europakonventionen är en internationell konvention som ämnar säkerställa vissa mänskliga rättigheter. De anslutna staterna åtar sig att garantera var och en inom deras jurisdiktion de fri- och rättigheter som stadgas i konventionen. Sverige har undertecknat och ratificerat konventionen. Om staten överträder sina konventions-åtaganden kan denna fällas till ansvar av den övervakande Europadomstolen.

Exitbeskattning i svensk skattelagstiftning uppmärksammades på nytt hösten år 2017, då Skatteverket la fram ett förslag om exitskatt för fysiska personer. Skatteverkets förslag syftar till att förhindra skatteflykt och bevara en välavvägd fördelning av beskattningsrätten. Den föreslagna exitskatten innebär, mycket förenklat, att fysiska personer som i Sverige gjort orealiserade vinster på bolagsan

Sammanfattning Inom konkurrensrätten är kartellbildning väldigt allvarligt och det finns därför ett förbud mot detta vilket är konkurrenslagstiftningens allra viktigaste bestämmelse. Stadgandet finns dels inom EU-rätten, dels i svensk rätt och de ser i stora drag likadana ut. I takt med att EU utvecklat sitt program för att bekämpa kartellbildning har Sverige påverkats att ha ett mer EU-harmonis

Svensk skattskyldighet delas upp i begränsad respektive obegränsad skattskyldighet. Obegränsat skattskyldig är den som enligt 3 kap. 3 § IL är bosatt, stadigvarande vistandes eller väsentligt anknuten till Sverige. Huruvida en person är väsentligt anknuten till Sverige eller ej fastställs genom en samlad bedömning av en rad anknytningsfaktorer, 3 kap. 7 § 1 st. IL, varav den ekonomiska som i denna

Human adenoviruses (Ads) are broadly used in cancer gene therapy, vaccine development and gene delivery. The modified Ad5 or Ad2 viruses have been successfully used as oncolytic agents in pre-clinical studies. However they could not be translated into clinic utility due to a number of limitations including inefficient Ad spread among tumor cells. The cancer cell killing capacity of oncolytic Ad is

This thesis treats various aspects of the measurement of trace components in aqueous solutions with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. This technique has several applications from such diverse fields as dairy industry and biomedical optics. The use of infrared spectroscopy for trace component quantification is made difficult by the large absorption of water which dominates the spectrum. The

Cardiac pumping physiology is important for understanding the pathophysiology of patients with cardiac disease. MRI gives the opportunity to measure volumes and flow non-invasively with high accuracy and precision. This thesis examines some aspects on cardiac pumping physiology. Study I showed that the total heart volume in humans decreases during systole by ~8 % (range 5-11 %), and anatomically i

This thesis examines the role of sunlight, specifically ultraviolet-B radiation (280-320 nm), on dissolved organic matter (DOM) and bacteria in lakes. Field experiments in lakes with different humic contents and geographical locations have been performed. Photooxidation result in that part of DOM is oxidized to inorganic carbon (DIC), mainly CO2. The photooxidation rate can be of the same magnitu

The aim of this dissertation was to gain knowledge about the experiences of siblings and parents of children with autism and learning difficulties, about what brought about the decision to apply for a place in a group home for their child and what it meant for the parents that their child had moved. A further aim was to gain knowledge about what it is like to work in a group home for children with

In this thesis I study two-dimensional geometric optimization problems for which it is difficult to find efficient, exact, deterministic algorithms. All known solutions to these problems require time that is exponential in the total size of the input. The work done in this thesis is a contribution to the research directed at attacking and coping with such NP hard problems in computational geometry

Summary: For religious Sikhs, the Guru Granth Sahib is a holy scripture which enshrines ontologically divine words and the teaching and revelatory experiences of historical human Gurus. Simultaneously the Sikhs have taken the concept of a sacred scripture much further than any other religious community by treating the Guru Granth Sahib as a living Guru invested with spiritual authority and agency

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are defined by their capacity to self-renew and differentiate into all hematopoietic cell lineages. Postnatally, HSCs reside predominantly in the bone marrow and are relatively rare, but important cells because of their therapeutic potential in bone marrow transplantation protocols and in their involvement in the origin of certain leukemias. To study how various gen

When a low-frequency laser pulse is focused to a high intensity in a gas, the electric field of the laser may become comparable to, or even exceed, the electric field between the electrons and the nucleus in the atom. Under such conditions, through a process known as high-order harmonic generation, bursts of extreme ultraviolet radiation may be emitted, with durations in the attosecond domain (1 a
