Methodology: A cross-sectional dataset from 2004, including data from 732 firms and four countries, accessed through World Management Sur
Background: The first interim analysis of the phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multinational TITAN study demonstrated improved overall survival (OS) and radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) with apalutamide added to ongoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer. The final analysis confirmed improvement i
Målet med strålbehandling är att leverera en tillräckligt hög stråldos för att skadacellerna i en cancertumör utan att skada omkringliggande friska celler. Olika typerav celler är olika känsliga för strålning vilket man måste ta hänsyn och idaggörs med datoriserad stråldosplanering. Vid dosplanering provas olika antal strålfältmed olika vinklar och intensitet forma stråldosen att täcka tumören utaRadiotherapy is one of the essential treatments used in the fight against cancer. The goal of radiotherapy is to deliver a high dose of ionising radiation to the tumour volume and at the same time minimise the effect on healthy tissue by reducing the radiation to critical organs. This contradiction is challenging and has been driving the research and development of the treatments.Over the last two
Background: The molecular pathways linking short and long sleep duration with incident diabetes mellitus (iDM) and incident coronary heart disease (iCHD) are not known. We aimed to identify circulating protein patterns associated with sleep duration and test their impact on incident cardiometabolic disease. Methods: We assessed sleep duration and measured 78 plasma proteins among 3336 participants
It is widely recognised that the two major challenges of the 21st century are climate change and poverty. The building sector is responsible for over a third of all global carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, we see vastly overcrowded and rapidly growing informal settlements in developing countries, where people lack the basic right to decent shelter. This is simply not sustainable and forc
Kvinnliga samkönade par har tillgång till insemination inom svensk sjukvård sedan den 1 juli 2005. Trots det väljer en del par att genomföra behandlingen utanför svensk sjukvård, antingen utomlands eller genom privat insemination. Vid insemination utanför svensk sjukvård med donerad sperma skiljer sig föräldraskapsregleringen för kvinnliga samkönade par från den för olikkönade par. Mannen i ett olFemale same-sex couples have had the right to undergo insemination within Swedish health care since July 1st 2005. Despite this some couples still choose to get the treatment outside Swedish health care, either abroad or through private insemination. With insemination outside Swedish health care with donated sperm the regulation for parenthood for female same-sex couples differs from that of oppos
Den här uppsatsen syftar till att utreda socialtjänstens ansvar för omedelbara omhändertaganden av barn till utsatta EU-medborgare. Socialtjänsten ansvarar för omedelbara omhändertaganden av barn med stöd av 6 § lag med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU). I ett nyligen avgjort rättsfall från Kammarrätten i Stockholm förefaller detta ansvar inte längre omfatta omedelbara omhändertaganden The aim of this thesis is to investigate the social services’ responsibility for emergency care orders for children of vulnerable EU-citizens. According to 6 § LVU, the social services are responsible for emergency care orders of children. However, in a recently decided case from the Administrative Court of Appeal in Stockholm, this responsibility appears to no longer include emergency care orders
Sammanfattning Inom konkurrensrätten är kartellbildning väldigt allvarligt och det finns därför ett förbud mot detta vilket är konkurrenslagstiftningens allra viktigaste bestämmelse. Stadgandet finns dels inom EU-rätten, dels i svensk rätt och de ser i stora drag likadana ut. I takt med att EU utvecklat sitt program för att bekämpa kartellbildning har Sverige påverkats att ha ett mer EU-harmonisAbstract Within competition law, cartels are defined as a very serious and infringement and are prohibited. This ban exists both within EU law and in Swedish law and looks largely the same. As the EU has developed their program to combat cartels, Sweden has been affected to have a more harmonized EU system when it comes to combating these types of anti-competitive collaborations. Leniency system
Det har länge funnits en faderskapspresumtion för gifta par som innebär att ett barn som föds inom ett äktenskap automatiskt anses vara avlat av mannen i äktenskapet. Är, vid ett barns födelse, föräldrarna inte gifta måste en faderskapsutredning genomföras och en fader fastställas. Barn som fötts utanför ett äktenskap har historiskt sett inte haft samma rättigheter som barn som fötts inom ett äkThere has been a presumption of paternity for a long time, which means that, when a child is born within the marriage, the husband will automatically be regarded as the father. In case the couple is not legally married at the time of the birth, the social service is obliged to investigate and determine who is the father of the child. Children who were born outside of the marriage have historical
Surrogatarrangemang har varit kraftigt debatterat i Sverige. I dagens läge finns ingen reglering på området. Surrogatarrangemang sker dock ändå genom att svenskar åker utomlands eller utför heminsemination. Detta innebär att barn tillkommer men det finns ingen reglering som hanterar dess rättsliga förhållanden. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om en framtida reglering av altruistiskt surrogaSurrogacy arrangements have been heavily debated. Today, there is no legislation regarding surrogacy arrangements in Sweden. However, the phenomena still take place by Swedes going abroad or performing private insemination. This leaves the legal situation for families with surrogate-born children uncertain. The purpose of the thesis is to examine whether a future regulation of altruistic surrogat
Den här uppsatsen är inspirerad av en omtalad dom från Svea Hovrätt som meddelades i februari 2019. Svea Hovrätt beslutade att tilldela en pappa ensam vårdnad om sina barn, trots att han ett par år tidigare dömdes till fängelse för att ha misshandlat dem. Anledningen till vårdnadsöverflyttningen var att mamman gjort sig skyldig till umgängessabotage. Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda umgängessabotaThis paper is inspired by the well-known and disputed judgment from Svea Court of Appeal passed in February of 2019. Svea Court of Appeal decided to assign a father sole custody of his children, despite of having been sentenced to prison a couple of years earlier for assaulting them. The reason behind the change in custody was the mother sabotaging the children’s right to visitation with their fat
In this thesis a system for tracking the fingers of a user using sound waves is developed. The proposed solution is to attach a small speaker to each finger and then have a number of microphones placed ad hoc around a computer monitor listening to the speakers. The system should then be able to track the positions of the fingers so that the coordinates can be mapped to the computer monitor and be
The background for this thesis is that access to sustainable electricity is part of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. In Sub- Saharan Africa, approximately 570 million people lacked access to electricity in 2022. To expand access in rural areas, solar home systems and other off-grid solar products offer affordable and accessible solutions. However, as these systems reach
The emerging market for meat substitutes has largely been filled with different types of soy products. Although soy usually has a lower environmental impact than meat, soy is not entirely unproblematic. Deforestation and global transportations are two negative effects of the increasing production of soybeans. One of these meat substitutes is tempeh: an Indonesian mold-fermented food usually made o

It contains accelerometer and gyroscope of 30 different individuals walking, walking upwards, walking downwards, sitting, standing and lying. The research questions is: How can we, using deep learning, understand more about and potentiallly improve Human activity recognition or HAR for
The aviation industry is perceived as being unsustainable in the long term due to foreseen continuous growth and the use of finite natural resources. To become more sustainable airlines need to address sustainability in their business model and business strategies. This research explores how the two airline carrier types, Ryanair, an LCC, and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), an FSC, have addressed sus
I Sverige har ungefär vart tionde barn någon gång blivit utsatt för att bevittna våld mellan sina föräldrar. Våld i nära relationer och barns bevittnande av familjevåld utgör således ett samhällsproblem. Den 1 juli 2021 infördes en ny straffbestämmelse om barnfridsbrott i 4 kap. 3 § BrB. Barnfridsbrottet innebär att det numera är straffbart att utsätta ett barn för att bevittna våld eller andra övIn Sweden, approximately one in ten children has at some point been exposed to witnessing violence between their parents. Domestic violence and children´s witnessing of such can thus be said to constitute a social problem. On July 1, 2021, a new penalty provision of violation of a child´s integrity was introduced into Chapter 4. Section 3. Of the Swedish Criminal Code. The crime means that it is n
