Background: Stroke is one of the major causes of disability in the adult population and represents a heavy social and economic burden. Currently available therapeutic tools to support the recovery of impaired brain functions are quite limited. Animal studies have demonstrated that neuronal replacement and partial reconstruction of neural circuitry or modulation of the recovery process is possible
Remote laser-induced fluorescence monitoring can complement passive reflectance measurements on vegetation. Vegetation classification and status assessment is normally performed by air- or spaceborne multi-spectral scanners. An increased research activity in the field of vegetation monitoring is motivated by the abundant stressed forests of Europe. We have used a mobile lidar system for remote stu
Climate warming is more pronounced in the Arctic than in other parts of the world. This warming affects the terrestrial cryosphere including permafrost with consequences ranging from societal impacts to changes in hydrology and feedbacks in the climate system such as those imposed by changing greenhouse gas exchanges. Permafrost dynamics in a marginal zone for its very existence is in this context
CONTEXT: Prior studies have demonstrated conflicting results regarding how much information novel biomarkers add to cardiovascular risk assessment. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the utility of contemporary biomarkers for predicting cardiovascular risk when added to conventional risk factors. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Cohort study of 5067 participants (mean age, 58 years; 60% women) without cardi
In this report a riskbased method is used to verify the fire protection in a fictitious building. The purpose of the report is to evaluate if it is possible to use a riskbased method when performing the construction of the fire protection in a building. The riskbased method is used to calculate the risk, with respect to the occupants, associated with an accepted fire protection solution according
Utilities, such as steam or cooling water, have shown to play an important role within the process industry, since a malfunctioning utility is a plant-wide disturbance that can lead to large revenue losses due to reduced production quantities. This work focuses on identifying disturbances on utilities that give economical consequences. Measures of utility availability and area availability are int
It is argued that we live in a post-industrial society with a transition from the production of goods to services. It is also said we live in a knowledge economy where creation, distribution, use and manipulation of information are significant activities (Dahlbom, 2003). The word industrial has a connotation of mass-production of products and, logically also industrial design has this connotation.
To be able to predict the strength of climate change and its consequences for mankind, it is of major importance to understand the contemporary greenhouse gas exchange of the terrestrial biosphere, as well as its response to changes in climate. To achieve such understanding both descriptive studies and manipulation experiments are required. Northern peatlands represent an important ecosystem type
Styrelsen är underordnad bolagsstämman till följd av aktiebolagets hierarkiska organisationsstruktur. Denna hierarkiska organisationsstruktur i kombination med 8 kap. 41 § andra stycket ABL e contrario innebär att styrelsen har en lydnadsplikt gentemot bolagsstämmans beslut. I framställningen undersöks vilka möjligheter styrelsen har att vägra verkställighet av ett bolagsstämmobeslut enligt aktieb
Syftet med denna masteruppsats är att undersöka människors upplevelser av att delta i flyktingmottagandet i Malmö under hösten 2015. Uppsatsen studerar motiveringar till varför volontärer beslutat sig för att hjälpa. Dessa analyseras främst genom Marcel Mauss teori om gåvosystem: volontärarbete, eller att hjälpa, ses som en gåva i uppsatsen. Motiveringarna analyseras också genom Erving Goffmans dr
Frågan om bolagsledningars skadeståndsansvar tillhör en ständigt pågående diskussion inom aktiebolagsrätten. Det är inte sällsynt att en bolagsledning orsakar det egna bolaget skada. Trots det är det sällan en bolagsledning hålls ansvarig gentemot bolaget, än mindre gentemot aktieägarna. Denna uppsats syftar till att utreda styrelseledamöters och VD:s externa skadeståndsansvar gentemot aktieägare There is ongoing discussion in company law on the question of corporate management liability to pay damages. Although it is not uncommon for harm to be inflicted on a company by its own management, it is rare for management to be held accountable towards the company, and even less so towards shareholders. This thesis analyses the external accountability of directors and the CEO in case of indirect
