Containrar är i ständig rörelse över landsgränser, vilket gör det näst intill omöjligt för en containerleasegivare att förutse i vilka jurisdiktioner uthyrda containrar kommer att befinna sig under leaseperioden – en fråga som dock är av stor betydelse. Leasegivarens äganderättsliga skydd är avhängigt av att de länder i vilka containrarna befinner sig respekterar och upprätthåller det. Inte desto Containers are constantly crossing borders, making it almost impossible for a container leasing company to predict which jurisdictions containers on lease may enter – a question, however, of great importance. The protection of the lessor’s proprietary rights is dependent on that countries respect and uphold the protection. Nonetheless does the protection as of today vary widely and it occurs that

Denna studie syftade till att evaluera och undersöka eventuell förändring i psykologisk symtomnivå samt klienttillfredsställelse hos klienter som behandlats med kognitiv beteendeterapi eller psykodynamisk terapi på en utbildningsmottagning för blivande psykologer. Studien syftade även till att undersöka eventuella skillnader i resultatet mellan klienter i kognitiv beteendeterapi och psykodynamisk This study aimed to investigate and evaluate change in psychological symptom levels and client satisfaction in clients treated with cognitive behavioral therapy or psychodynamic psychotherapy at a training clinic for prospective psychologists. The study also aimed to examine possible differences in outcome between clients in cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy, and to examine wh

Issue of study: A forecasted increase in energy demand and consumption, together with a decrease of existing oil and gas reserves, has led the oil and gas producers to new areas beyond the conventional oil and gas regions. The Arctic, an area mainly located north of the Arctic Circle, is believed to hold very large potential of the world’s yet-to-be discovered oil and gas reserves. In addition, th

This paper analyzes mortality, cancer recurrence (loco-regional, other types of cancer and distant) and the impact of progesterone status on the effect of Tamoxifen using survival analysis methods. The data consists of 258 postmenopausal women from the Southern Sweden health care region with estrogen positive receptor status receiving radiotherapy, Tamoxifen and a combination of those after mastect

The empirical study in this thesis is applying the method Dicourse Quality Index as presented in the research project published in the book Deliberative Politics in Action: Analysing Parliamentary Discourse by Steiner et Al, 2004. This method is meant to be measuring "discourse quality" as per some highlighted Habermasian definitions of deliberation through his theoretical work on "

Framställningen syftar till att utreda och problematisera den svenska minerallagstiftningen avseende förfarandet då Bergsstaten meddelar beslut om undersökningstillstånd. Författaren intar en kritisk hållning till att lagen saknar förutsättningar att beakta motstående intressen, liksom till mineral-intressets starka position som allmänt intresse. Valda delar ur minerallagstiftningens historia belThis paper aims to investigate and problematize the Swedish mineral act in regard to the Mining Inspectorate’s (Bergsstaten) procedure for granting exploration permits. The writer takes a critical stance towards the fact that the law has no provisions for taking into account conflicting interests, as well as to why the mineral interest maintains such a strong position as a public interest.

This thesis studies the relationship between the magnitude of the dowry and the bride’s education and income. Dowry is defined the gifts transferred along with the bride from the bride’s natal family to the groom’s household at the time of marriage. Gifts are traditionally also given from the groom household to the bride, the bride who will belong to the groom household after marriage. India has a

This paper addresses the Environmental Management System (EMS) frameworks among the twenty-five biggest oil companies in the world. An Environmental Management System is a framework which can be used by companies to structurally control and manage their environmental aspects and impacts. Specifically in this study, focus is put on the content and structural set-up of EMS frameworks. The study look

The smoothness-constrained least-squares method is widely used for two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) inversion of apparent resistivity data sets. The Gauss-Newton method that recalculates the Jacobian matrix of partial derivatives for all iterations is commonly used to solve the least-squares equation. The quasi-Newton method has also been used to reduce the computer time. In this me

Herpes simplex virus is known to induce an immunoglobulin-binding cell surface receptor in infected cells that utilizes a nonimmune mechanism. In the present paper, we report the immunoglobulin class and subclass specificity of this receptor. Of the human immunoglobulins G(IgG), IgA, IgM, and IgD, as well as the structurally related beta2 microglobulin, only IgG and its Fc portion exhibited an inc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 1850-talet framträdde baptismen som den första verkliga frikyrkorörelsen i Sverige. Den tog helt och hållet avstånd från det ordinära kyrkolivet och kom därför i konflikt med samhällets religiösa regelverk. Kyrkliga och världsliga myndigheter betrktade baptismen som villfarande och samhällsupplösande. Deras agerande mot baptisterna i landets södra delar blir i denDuring the 1850's, Baptism appeared as the first real free church movement in Sweden. It distanced itself completely from normal church life and therefore came into conflict with society's religious rules. Ecclesiastical and temporal authorities regarded Baptism as erroneous and social disruptive. In the present treatise, their actions against the Baptists in the southern parts of the country beco

Background: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is widely used to detect prostate cancer. The low positive predictive value of elevated PSA results in large numbers of unnecessary prostate biopsies. We set out to determine whether a multivariable model including four kallikrein forms ( total, free, and intact PSA, and human kallikrein 2 (hK2)) could predict prostate biopsy outcome in previously unscre

Background: The relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and pancreatic cancer has been investigated in three previous studies with contradictory results. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between H. pylori seropositivity and the risk for pancreatic cancer in a nested case-control study within a population based cohort. Methods: Selected birth- year cohorts

Cloud drop condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN) particles determine to a large extent cloud microstructure and, consequently, cloud albedo and the dynamic response of clouds to aerosol-induced changes to precipitation. This can modify the reflected solar radiation and the thermal radiation emitted to space. Measurements of tropospheric CCN and IN over large areas have not been possible an
