Ett företagsförvärv föregås i regel av att en due diligence-undersökning genomförs. I ett noterat aktiebolag med spritt ägande saknas oftast möjlighet att låta aktieägarna fatta beslut om tillåtande eller nekande av en potentiell budgivares förfrågan om due diligence-undersökning. Det gör att det är målbolagsstyrelsen som fattar beslut i frågan om due diligence-undersökning, trots att själva köpetAn acquisition is usually preceded by due diligence. In a listed limited liability company with dispersed ownership, there is usually no way to allow shareholders to decide whether to accept or reject a potential bidder's request for due diligence. This means that it is the board of directors of the target company that decides on the issue of due diligence. This is even though the actual purch

Urbaniseringen innebär att det blir mer och mer hårdgjorda ytor i städer, vilket ökar belastningen på dagvattennätet. Vidare så innebär klimatförändringarna ytterligare utmaningar då nederbörden i Sverige antas öka. För att hantera detta föreslås hållbara dagvattenlösningar varav gröna tak kan vara en del. Detta skapar ett behov att på ett enkelt sätt modellera avrinningen från gröna tak. I detta

WAY-FINDING AND CROWD MANAGEMENT IN SHOPPING MALL EVACUATION-A modelling case study of Emporia Mall in Malmö Evacuation time can be reduced by successful crowd management techniques and efficient evacuation strategies. It is possible to use evacuation models for analysing egress strategies and evacuation procedures in shopping malls. Becoming more and more important with the passing of time, per

Introduction.Kraft black liquor is a side-stream produced during the kraft pulping process containing lignin, hemicelluloses and cooking chemicals. The stream is usually evaporated and burned in the recovery boiler to recover the cooking chemicals and generate energy. The mill is, however, often/sometimes limited by recovery boiler capacity, and removing some of the lignin from kraft black liquor

The overall aim of this thesis was to analyse the importance of co-morbidity level for different aspects of primary health care (PHC) using a measure of co-morbidity. Paper I examines whether there were differences in referral rates from different Lithuanian PHC models after adjustment for co-morbidity level. Paper II assesses to what extent the co-morbidity level could explain concurrent costs in

The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate families’ experiences when a child is diagnosed as having type 1 diabetes, and at one and three years after diagnosis. Since childhood health and the circumstances around it in the family have been shown to have a lasting impact on adult health and circumstances, an additional aim was to examine the long-term effect of childhood diabetes on educati

Importance Active perinatal care increases survival of extremely preterm infants; however, improved survival might be associated with increased disability among survivors. Objective To determine neurodevelopmental outcome in extremely preterm children at 2.5 years (corrected age). Design, Setting, and Participants Population-based prospective cohort of consecutive extremely preterm infants born be

Background Diabetes has been defined on the basis of different biomarkers, including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h plasma glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test (2hOGTT), and HbA(1c). We assessed the effect of different diagnostic definitions on both the population prevalence of diabetes and the classification of previously undiagnosed individuals as having diabetes versus not having diabet

Why should we teach tourism at universities?This presentation targets the question of why tourism should be part of university education. Presently, this is questioned by colleagues in traditional academic disciplines as well as by parts of the tourism industry, which are somewhat reluctant to employ people with a university degree. It is thus time for this matter to be raised. If we are to answer

Svensk tillverkningsindustri bidrar till ca 16 % (Statistics Sweden 2016) av bruttonationalprodukten och medverkar till att ca 900 000 av landets invånare har en anställning (Produktion2030 2016), vilket gör sektorn till en viktig del av Sveriges välfärdssystem. Forskningen syftar främst till att ge industrin verktyg för att analysera och utvärdera produktion för resurseffektivare och lönsammare tIn today’s global market, the industry is struggling every day to make the “correct decisions”. Decisions concerning production can range from smaller improvements to choice tool or equipment investments to relocation of entire production facilities. Increasing globalization leads to both opportunities and challenges, driving the need for fact-based decision-support including costs to be able to e

Every year, 100,000 tons of dissolved hemicelluloses are discharge unused with wastewater from thermomechanical pulp mills around the world. Isolation of these hemicelluloses from the wastewater would not only reduce the treatment costs for the pulp mills but would also provide an excellent raw material for high value applications such as oxygen barriers in food packaging. The isolation of the he

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is highly associated with the metabolic syndrome, and due to increasing prevalence of for example obesity it is now the most common liver disease in the world. A minority progress to advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis, which is associated with increased mortality, but it is not entirely clear which patients who have an increased risk of fibrosis.Gener

The chemical industry is primarily dependent on fossil oil and gas as raw materials. With increasing demands on reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint attributed to fossil based production, the industry looks for alternative renewable cleaner resources to secure the supplies for future chemical and material products. The current trend in the shift to bio-based economy aims at u

Importance: Accurate blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer disease (AD) might improve the diagnostic accuracy in primary care, referrals to memory clinics, and screenings for AD trials. Objective: To examine the accuracy of plasma β-amyloid (Aβ) and tau measured using fully automated assays together with other blood-based biomarkers to detect cerebral Aβ. Design, Setting, and Participants: Two pros

Background Genetic determinants of stroke, the leading neurological cause of death and disability, are poorly understood and have seldom been explored in the general population. Our aim was to identify additional loci for stroke by doing a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies. Methods For the discovery sample, we did a genome-wide analysis of common genetic variants associated with inc

Since some years ago greenhouse gases and especially carbon dioxide have become one of the most widely debated issues. To reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and nuclear waste, renewable energy sources as for example wind power plants have become very successful. These generation units are normally small compared to common thermal power plants and they are often placed distributed and connected
