Tredjepartsbesiktning innebär att blivande eller befintliga affärspartners undersöks i syfte att säkerställa att verksamhetsutövarens verksamhetsled utgör en låg risk för korruption, vilket i vissa länder krävs genom lag. Faktorer som i regel anses som varningsflaggor i riskbedömningen inför en affärstransaktion är till exempel om en affärspartner har dömts för något brott av korruptiv karaktär elThird party due diligence is an investigation of prospective or existing business partners in order to ensure a low risk of corruption. In certain countries such an investigation is required by law. Factors to consider in the risk assessment are for example whether a potential or existing business partner has been convicted of any corruption related crime or is associated with political circles.

Lagstiftaren har gjort bedömningen att barn i åldrarna 15-17 år bör skyddas från vissa sexuella handlingar och därför har man kriminaliserat köp av sexuell handling av barn. För att ansvar ska kunna utkrävas måste gärningspersonen ha uppsåt ifråga om alla omständigheter utom barnets ålder, där måste denne endast agerat oaktsamt. Enligt 6:13 BrB kan en person dömas för köp av sexuell handling av ba

Advertisements use cultural symbols and myths that exist in society. When women are represented at work in advertisements it often illustrates their subordinate position to men. This illustrates the gender system: how men as a group have more power than women as a group. The concentration here is on TV-advertisement's representation of women in connection to work, power, and objectification. M

Background: Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is the earliest marker of disturbed mineral metabolism as renal function decreases. Its serum levels are associated with mortality in dialysis patients, persons with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD), and it is associated with atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction and left ventricular hypertrophy in the genera

The aim of this thesis, The Historical Novel and Historical Consciousness in ten- to twelve-year-olds - Maj Bylocks Drakskeppstrilogi in Theory and Practice, is to illustrate the possibilities for pupils of the ages between ten to twelve to develop their historical consciousness by participating in classroom work making use of fiction as a central source of knowledge.

Background: Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a well accepted neurosurgical procedure performed for the relief of spasticity interfering with motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). The goal is to improve function, but long-term outcome studies are rare. The aims of this study were to evaluate long-term functional outcomes, safety and side effects during five postoperative y

Background: Risk gene variants for celiac disease, identified in genome-wide linkage and association studies, might influence molecular pathways important for disease development. The aim was to examine expression levels of potential risk genes close to these variants in the small intestine and peripheral blood and also to test if the non-coding variants affect nearby gene expression levels in chi

The concept of ecosystem-based adaptation is advocated at international, national, and regional levels. The concept is thought to foster sustainability transitions and is receiving increasing interest from academic and governmental bodies alike. However, there is little theory regarding the pathways for its systematic implementation. It furthermore remains unclear to what degree the concept is alr

Turbo systems have long been implemented into vehicles to increase the specific power. Increasing the pressure for conventional vehicles decreases the mass of the engine and increases the efficiency. Conventional vehicles do however produce carbon dioxide emissions which have become an increasing issue that needs a solution. One possible solution is the fuel cell utilizing hydrogen as fuel. This r

The formation of industry standards for environmental issues and corporate social responsibility is gaining acceptance but the number of successfully implemented programs are few. On an individual level companies have for some time applied company standards or codes of conduct. But on a collective level cooperation seems much more difficult. Although from an economic point of view there are clear

Uppsatsen behandlar de rättsliga regleringar som utgör gällande rätt vid häktning av unga mellan 15-17 år. Syftet för uppsatsen är att utreda om denna reglering är rättssäkert utifrån principen om förutsägbarhet. För att göra detta redovisas regleringen om frihetsberövande generellt, för att vidare begränsas till frihetsberövande genom häktning och sedermera behandla regleringen gällande unga mellThe thesis deals with the legal regulations that constitute the current law on the detention of young people aged 15-17. The purpose for the essay is to investigate whether this regulation is legally secure based on the principle of predictability. In order to do this, the regulation on deprivation of liberty is described in general, then limited to deprivation of liberty by means of detention and

The main goal of this research was the development of GIS and Remote Sensing based methodology for environmental monitoring of bio- restoration activities of disturbed vegetation cover along oil pipeline corridor. For the achievement of the main goal, high – resolution multispectral IKONOS and FORMOSAT satellite images acquired during vegetation peak seasons in 2007 and 2008 were processed by poly

Dealing with water diffuse pollution is a major problem for watershed managers. This problem raises many complicated questions, which are important to answer in order to reach water environment protection goals. This study suggested some possible answers for the country of Lithuania. Among them were the identification of critical source areas, the identification of sensitive areas and the applicat

Home based work is considered as work with low economic value and low waged. The Home base work is also preserved to be a principal way to earn a living for women. The traditional home based works for instance thread making, weaving, dairying, basket making etc., were such kind of work which carried out at home, still exists particularly in developing countries. Since a huge number of home base wo

Summary: We studied the risk for hip fracture before and after total knee replacement (TKR) in the entire population in Sweden. Women and men had a low risk for hip fracture before TKR but an increased risk the first year after TKR. Purpose: It is known that osteoarthritis is associated with high bone mass. We therefore studied the risk of hip fracture before and after total knee replacement (TKR)

BACKGROUND: Girls and women with Rett Syndrome (RTT) have low levels of daily physical activity and high levels of sedentary time. Reducing sedentary time and enhancing "uptime" activities, such as standing and walking, could be an important focus for interventions to address long-term health and quality of life in RTT. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility and health-rel

Nils Wohlin and the question of inheritance patternsIt has long been assumed that inheritance patterns varied strongly betweendifferent regions. In the early 20th century statistician Nils Wohlin made afamous account of Swedish inheritance patterns, claiming significant differences between Swedish provinces, especially between eastern and western Sweden. Newer studies of inheritance patterns have

OBJECTIVES: Chronic lung allograft dysfunction including Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is common after lung transplantation. Histologically, BOS is recognized as fibrotic lesions with accumulated extracellular matrix (ECM) in small airways. Lung fibroblasts are major producers of ECM and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In this study we hypothesize that VEGF is involved in BOS

Background: Cluster analyses have proposed different diabetes phenotypes using age, BMI, glycaemia, homoeostasis model estimates, and islet autoantibodies. We tested whether comprehensive phenotyping validates and further characterises these clusters at diagnosis and whether relevant diabetes-related complications differ among these clusters, during 5-years of follow-up. Methods: Patients with new
