Improvements in Internet technology, development of multimedia applications, protocols and improvement in user devices have led to the popularity of multimedia applications, among which video streaming applications are most popular. Streaming video services are sensitive to network conditions, thus making Quality of Experience (QoE) of end users sensitive to network conditions. QoE is affected by
Enligt svensk familjerätt är syskons rätt till varandra varken en fastslagen lag eller utvecklad i förarbeten och doktrin. Trots detta föreligger det ett starkt skydd av syskon enligt praxis, vilken har sin grund i begreppet kontinuitet. Begreppet kontinuitet är ett resultat av främst praxis, men har sin grund i förarbeten. Denna har till syfte att behålla all slags pågående kontinuitet för barnetAccording to Swedish family law, the right for siblings to each other is not a stated rule, nor well developed in preliminary works or doctrine. However, there is a higher level of protection of siblings according to case law, which is anchored in the concept of continuity. The concept of continuity is mainly a result from case law, but has its ground in preliminary work. It aims to maintain all c
This bachelor project provides an analysis of the regional, organizational arena of Denmark and takes point of departure in the structural reform of 2007, which changed the Danish political landscape radically. The result of the reform was that the old municipalities and regions were enlarged and the power relation was changed. The new physical form made the municipalities far more influential, an
The most widely used positioning system is Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), which uses traditional positioning techniques and cannot achieve satisfactory positioning performance in indoor scenarios due to Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) transmission. Fingerprinting is a non-traditional positioning technique that is robust to NLoS transmission in indoor scenarios. Moreover, Applying Machine Lear
Varumärken gör det möjligt för näringsidkare att särskilja och främja sina varor och tjänster i förhållande till andra näringsidkare. Vidare identifierar varumärken varor och tjänsters ursprung, vilket gör det möjligt för konsumenter att härleda dessa, samt upprepa eller undvika köp. Detta ger i sin tur näringsidkare incitament att investera och behålla en viss kvalitetsnivå. Näringsidkare kan, blTrademarks enable companies to distinguish and promote their goods and services vis-à-vis others and identify the origin of goods and services. This enables consumers to trace them, as well as repeat or avoid purchases. Trademarks give companies the incentive to invest and maintain a certain level of quality. As an example, companies can use their trademarks to get new, and keep existing, customer
För att en person ska kunna straffas för våldtäkt enligt svensk rätt krävs det att denne har haft uppsåt till gärningen. Det innebär att personen måste ha varit medveten om alla de omständigheter som medfört att gärningen är att betrakta som en våldtäkt, exempelvis att den utsatte sov eller tvingades till de sexuella handlingarna. Detta krav på uppsåt har i ett flertal fall, där den tilltalade fri
Konkurrensklausuler i anställningsavtal avser att begränsa arbetstagares rätt att fritt konkurrera efter avslutad anställning. Uppsatsen ämnar att bedöma om 2015 års överenskommelse om konkurrensklausuler är att betrakta som god sed på arbetsmarknaden. Denna fråga måste först besvaras innan uppsatsens huvudfråga kan besvaras, nämligen om perdurerande viten är tillåtna i konkurrensklausuler och om The purpose of a competition clause in a employment contract is to restrain the employees possibilities to compete with the former employer after he or she quits the employment. This study aims to assess if the 2015 collective agreement on competition clauses in employment contracts is to be regarded as good practice in the Swedish labor market i.e become binding on all employers and employees whe
Title: Frenemies in Business: A Case Study on the Phenomenon of Coopetition Research Question: What are drivers and challenges behind coopetition, as well as possible outcomes of the relationship? Keywords: Coopetition, Cooperation, Competition, Coopetitive Relationship, Competing Companies, Coopetitors, Coopetition Process, Drivers, Challenges, Possible Positive Outcomes, Possible Negative Out
A low success rate of drug candidates in clinical trials, and especially in brain research, motivates development of better screening models. Hence, in neuroscience and many other fields of Life Science, development of more physiological relevant experimental cell-based models is motivated. It’s believed that more in vivo-like models will give a better outcome in drug discovery- and development. H
The unbalanced supply and demand will raise the distribution and transportation problems. Lateral transhipment (called stock redistribution) between two Customer Centres (CC) has been implementing to reduce unhealthy inventories. The two significant issues are the inefficient process and unnecessary cost of reactive lateral transhipment. The searching and communication processes can take longer th
After the General Court’s (GC) decision in case T-472/13 H. Lundbeck A/S and Lundbeck Ltd v Commission it seems the concept of potential competition in the context of so-called ‘pay-for-delay’ agreements, or reverse patent settlements, might have been altered; that the bar in order for an undertaking to qualify as a potential competitor might have been lowered. This thesis aims to examine whether
The technology has advanced but the vehicle industry has not evolved at the same pace. Mechanical constructions with a steering wheel are still being used to control the steering of cars. The mechanical construction makes it harder to implement autonomous features, it adds weight and takes up space. It is commonly known that the steering wheel has been along since the early days of the car but is
I ljuset av BEPS-projektets strävan efter effektivare tvistlösningsförfaranden i samband med dubbelbeskattning har EU tagit fram mekanismer som avser att effektivisera skattetvistlösning inom unionen. Resultatet blev rådets direktiv (EU) 2017/1852 av den 10 oktober 2017 om skattetvistlösnings-mekanismer i Europeiska unionen (skattetvistlösningsdirektivet), vilket sedan 2019 även är implementerat iIn the light of the BEPS projects aim to implement more effective dispute resolution mechanisms in situations where a double taxation may occur the EU have worked to develop mechanisms to make dispute resolution within the union more effective. The EU’s effort resulted in the Council Directive (EU) 2017/1852 of 10 October 2017 on Tax Dispute Resolution Mechanisms in the European Union (the Tax Dis
I Sverige finns en åldersgräns på 18 år för att ingå äktenskap men det finns ändå barn under 18 år i Sverige som är gifta. De gifta barnen har ingått barnäktenskap utomlands. Äktenskapen har erkänts som giltiga i Sverige om makarna saknade anknytning till Sverige när äktenskapen ingicks. Diskussioner har förts om att regleringen av erkännande av utländska barnäktenskap måste ändras för att skyddetThe age limit for getting married in Sweden is 18 years. Yet there are children under the age of 18 in Sweden who are married. The children have gotten married abroad. The marriages have been recognized as valid in Sweden if the spouses had no connection to Sweden when the marriages were entered. Discussions have been held about that the regulation of recognition of foreign child marriages needs t
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can progress to heart failure, which has a poor prognosis. Normally, 60% of stroke volume (SV) is attributed to the longitudinal ventricular shortening and lengthening evident in the atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) during the cardiac cycle, but there is no information on how the relationship changes between SV and AVPD before and after AMI. Therefore, t
Glyoxalase I (GlxI) is an important enzyme that catalyzes the detoxification of methylglyoxal (MG) with the help of glutathione (H-SG). It is currently unclear whether MG and H-SG are substrates of GlxI or whether the enzyme processes hemithioacetal (HTA), which is nonenzymatically formed from MG and H-SG. Most previous studies have concentrated on the latter mechanism. Here, we study the two-subs
Objective: To determine whether repeated [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET-CT) scans can predict increased cancer-specific survival (CSS) after induction chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy (RC). Patients and Methods: Between 2007 and 2018, 86 patients with clinically lymph node (LN)-positive bladder cancer (T1–T4, N1–N3, M0–M1a) were include
This dissertation examines the construction of monumental synagogues in nineteenth-century Sweden as a means through which Jewish communities articulated public presence, negotiated belonging, and translated aspirations for civic inclusion into durable architectural form. Focusing on five purpose-built synagogues in Gothenburg (1855), Norrköping (1858), Stockholm (1870), Karlstad (1899), and Malmö
Impact cratering is today recognized as a fundamental geological process on all rocky bodies in the solar system. On Earth, however, processes such as plate tectonics and erosion have eradicated most craters from the geological record, or they may be buried under sediments, oceans, and vegetation. The formation of a hypervelocity impact crater involves extreme pressures and temperatures that induc
Background: The human cerebellum has a large, highly folded cortical sheet. Its visualization is important for various disorders, including multiple sclerosis and spinocerebellar ataxias. The derivation of the cerebellar cortical surface in vivo is impeded by its high foliation. Purpose: To image the cerebellar cortex, including its foliations and lamination, in less than 20 minutes, reconstruct t
