Development, with its links to capitalism and Western conceptions of progress, is both impossible to achieve and restricts possibilities of other socially and ecologically just worlds. Neoliberal development has long been promoted in agriculture, leading to corporate concentration and is perpetuated under food security discourses. In South Africa, this maintains apartheid racial inequalities. Alte

Denna uppsats har som syfte att utreda innebörden av begreppet ”penninglån” som återfinns i låneförbudsreglerna i 21 kap. aktiebolagslagen (2005:551). Frågan som besvaras är: - Vad innebär begreppet ”penninglån” enligt 21 kap. ABL? Grunddefinitionen av penninglån är en försträckning där transaktionen består av en genusvara, i form av penningar. I lagtexten finns det relativt lite vägledning krinThis paper aims to investigate the meaning of the term "cash loan" found in the loan prohibition rules in 21st chapter of the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551). The question to be answered is: - What does the term "cash loan" in 21st chapter of the Swedish Companies Act mean? The basic definition of cash loan is a loan where the transaction consists in the form of money. The t

Studien syftade till att skildra och förstå återkopplingspraxis efter psykologutredning av barn. En webbenkät skickades till 1 053 psykologer inom habilitering och psykiatri i Sverige. Svarsfrekvensen var 34,9 % och det slutliga stickprovet bestod av 317 respondenter, varav 64 % arbetade inom psykiatri, 82 % var kvinnor, medelåldern var 40 år, och medianvärdet för antal utredningar var 15 per år.

Value at Risk is a commonly used risk measure which calculates the smallest losses you risk to lose from having an asset, given a certain risk level and time period. Even though Value at Risk is applicable to all different types of assets, some studies suggest that this risk measure is not suitable for developing countries/emerging markets. This is because these countries’ assets generate very obs

The aim of this study was to investigate and illuminate preschool pedagogues working approach with bilingual children and their families in preschool. Our common interest in this subject emerged in that we both have young children in preschool and that we have two different backgrounds in two different cultures. Data collection for this study has been carried out through qualitative methods with e

The purpose of this study was to analyze narratives of school counselors and nurses’ on how they identify children who live in abusive environments and the actions they have taken. We used a qualitative method and the study consisted of eight semistructed interviews with four school counselors and four school nurses. We have analyzed our material using Goffmans theory about the theater metaphor an

Myoepithelioma, mixed tumor and parachordoma are uncommon soft tissue tumors thought to represent morphological variants of a single tumor type. The genetic basis of these neoplasms is poorly understood. However, they morphologically resemble mixed tumor of the salivary glands (also known as pleomorphic adenoma), a tumor characterized by deregulated expression of PLAG1 or HMGA2. To evaluate a poss

Interest in high spatial resolution boron analyses from a geochemical perspective is related to the recognition of boron as an important tracer of chemical recycling in the Earth, due to the high solubility of boron in aqueous fluids and silicate melts. Although boron is not a nominal component in common silicates they may still contain significant B-concentrations and hence constitute important b

Endophytic bacteria often have beneficial effects on their host plants that can be exploited for bioremediation applications but, according to the literature, only 0.001-1% of all endophytic microbes should be cultivable. This study compared the cultivated endophytic communities of the roots and shoots of Cucurbita pepo with the total endophytic communities as determined by cultivation-dependent t

CK2, an acronym derived from the misnomer "casein kinase 2", denotes a ubiquitous and extremely pleiotropic Ser/Thr protein kinase, the holoenzyme of which is composed of two catalytic (alpha and/or alpha') and two noncatalytic beta subunits acting as a docking platform and the multifarious functions of which are still incompletely understood. By combining affinity chromatography and mass spectrom

Large eddy simulations (LES) are performed for single and multiphase jets in crossflow (JICF). The multiphase JICF are compared to the single-phase case for the same momentum and mass flow, ratios but with droplets of different sizes. Multiphase JICF have stronger counterrotating vortex pairs (CVPs) than a corresponding single-phase JICF. Moreover their trajectories are higher and their induced wa

To investigate if the Swedish entry rules for pets to prevent the introduction of Echinococcus multilocularis (EM) are proportional (i.e. that their costs do not exceed the value of their benefits), a dichotomous-choice contingent valuation study was conducted. The study was performed before the first case of EM was detected in Sweden in February 2011. About 5000, randomly selected, Swedish citize
