This article aims to contribute to the knowledge about the success which nationalist parties have experienced during the latest decades in western societies. By a qualitative text analysis, using a case study method, a Facebook-group anonymously named Sverigesidan (The Swedish page), has been studied in order to discover patterns which can explain how nationalism can attract groups who obviously a

Museomics is a valuable approach that utilizes the diverse biobanks that are natural history museums. The ability to sequence genomes from old specimens has expanded not only the variety of interesting taxa available to study but also the scope of questions that can be investigated in order to further knowledge about biodiversity. Here, we present whole genome sequencing results from the enigmatic

Adolescent Cannabis exposure has been hypothesized to act as a gateway to opiate abuse. In order to investigate the role of genetic background in cannabinoid-opiate interactions, we studied the effect of Δ(9) -tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) exposure of adolescent Lewis and Fischer 344 rats on the responsiveness of accumbens shell and core dopamine (DA), as monitored by microdialysis, to THC and heroin

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a severe chronic inflammatory autoimmune connective tissue disease. Despite major efforts, SLE remains a poorly understood disease with unpredictable course, unknown etiology and complex pathogenesis. Apoptosis combined with deficiency in clearing apoptotic cells is an important etiopathogenic event in SLE, which could contribute to the increased load of poten

Sweden is a diverse and multilingual place. Today’s students represent a broad spectrum of cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Sweden is also a site for mobility as people flow in and out through processes of migration, tourism, international trade, and study abroad. It is in this context that English is taught in Swedish upper secondary schools. The subject of English in Sweden,

This study discusses subordination in Swedish from the perspective of three construction types that involve clauses that have traditionally been difficult to classify as unambiguous main or subordinate clauses: “embedded V2”-constructions, direct speech constructions, and exclamatives. A general hypothesis regarding subordination and "superordination” is proposed: The Highest Force Hypothesis. The

När ett offentligt uppköpserbjudande avseende ett svenskt bolag framförs är det vanligtvis förhandlat med målbolagets styrelse och med dennes stöd. I de fallen så inte är fallet brukar budet benämnas fientligt, d.v.s. att det inte stöds av målbolagets styrelse. Frågan uppkommer då vilka åtgärder en bo-lagsledning kan vidta för att antingen minska risken att bolaget blir föremål för ett fientligt bWhen a public offer is presented regarding the shares of a Swedish listed company, it’s usually been negotiated with the target company’s board of directors and has its support. When an offer lacks the support of the target company’s board of directors, the offer is considered hostile. Thus, the question arises what kind of actions the target company’s management can take in order to either minimi

Denna studie handlar om den rättsliga prövningen av en europeisk arresteringsorder i Sverige och Irland. En arresteringsorder är ett rättsligt avgörande i syfte att begära överlämnande av en person för lagföring eller verkställighet av ett frihetsberövande straff. Den utfärdas i ett land och ska utan ingående prövning verkställas i ett annat. Samarbetet kring den europeiska arresteringsordern skilThis study is based on the judicial review of a European arrest warrant in Sweden and Ireland. An arrest warrant is a judicial decision to request the surrender of a person for prosecution or enforcement of a custodial sentence. It is issued in one country and shall be executed in another without thorough examination. The European arrest warrant differs from the traditional extradition procedure i

Transport planning has been in favour of and prioritised motorised transport for almost a century. During this time, cars have been given street space at the expense of more sustainable transport modes. The auto-normative paradigm thus created a spatial imbalance, an injustice, in the amount of space that are devoted to the different transport modes. The main objective of this thesis is to analyse

Purpose - The primary purpose of this thesis is to generate insights into the practical relevance and existing attempts of an aligned employer and corporate brand.

Den högsta ledningens kommunikation är av stor vikt i organisationer, då den utgör grunden för övergripande styrning och strategi, samt skapar förutsättningarna för en enad verksamhet. Trots vikten av ledningskommunikationen i organisationer saknas förståelse för fenomenet ur ett medarbetarperspektiv. Denna studie utgår från ett medarbetarperspektiv, med avgränsning till generation Y, samt ett komThe top management's communication is of great importance in organizations, as it forms the basis for overall governance and strategy, and creates the conditions for a unified business.

Development of valuable products from downstream process residual biomasses and profound reduction of waste are two key components for developing a more sustainable process industry. The importance of bio-renewable feedstocks and bio-based processing techniques are also crucial in the transformation to a more sustainable and green society. Therefore focus is directed on full exploitation of seawee
