Nowadays, most ship acquisition transactions are performed through the finance instruments, such as loan agreements. Whereas parties to this ship finance contracts, from one side, usually, is ship owner as borrower, and, from other side might be, financial institution, as lender – such as banks, funds or private companies. Thus, whatever principal amount of the loan would be finally agreed the len
Projects in the space domain are extremely complex and often characterized as being “one-off”, which makes it very difficult to make good predictions on future developments. Furthermore, space projects are also associated with state-of-the-art technology, high costs and long development time. Risks are therefore a threat to project success because they may have negative effects on the project cost
Idag finns det många olika sätt att avbilda människokroppens inre. Två av de vanligaste metoderna som används idag är magnetresonans (MR) och datortomografi (CT). MR använder sig av starka magnetfält och radiovågor för att skapa snittbilder av kroppen, medan CT använder sig av röntgenstrålar. Båda kamerorna har sina fördelar och nackdelar. MR ger bättre vävnadskontrast, det vill säga det är lättarIntroduction MRI provides better soft tissue contrast than CT and is an invaluable tool in the radiotherapy treatment process. The gold standard today is image fusion of MRI and CT data where targets and organs-at-risk are delineated on the MRI data and the dose calculation is performed on the CT data. It is appealing to exclude CT from the process in order to reduce cost and time and to eliminate
More and more corporations around the world is starting to work in project form and leaving their traditional function based way of organising themselves behind. This leads to new ways of driving and implementing changes and improvements. It requires another approach and this approach has to deal with the individual employee in a greater extend. Alfa Laval often questions how to make a project to
The aim of this paper is to investigate certain aspects of the legal relationship between the EC and Switzerland in the field of public procurement. Public procurement can be defined as the purchase of goods, services, works and supplies by public authorities and enterprises. It comes as no surprise that public procurement has major economic ramifications, accounting for around 14% of the EC's
This thesis analyses the debate around the patents on human genes from three most important angles: ethical, legal and economic. In the ethical context, patents on gene-related inventions are often seen as inappropriate because of the alleged special status of human DNA. The special status stems from their alleged responsibility for everything from diseases to social propensities and personal trai
Star clusters can harbour many exotic objects, including black holes (BHs), X-ray binaries and blue straggler stars. In dense stellar environments like globular clusters (GCs), two-body relaxation drives their dynamical evolution, where gravitational interactions between stars strive to equalize their kinetic energy in the cluster. Theoretical studies have indicated that some of these clusters can
En stor del av världens sjötransporter går mellan Asien och Europa. Idag är den södra rutten genom Suez-kanalen populärast, men efter att isen i Arktis börjat smälta har den norra rutten öppnats upp som en möjlig utmanare till den södra rutten och skeppsägare ställs nu inför ett val. Sjötransport är en riskfylld verksamhet och både den södra och den norra rutten innehåller områden med ökad risk. There are two main shipping routes between Europe and Asia, among those the Southern Route through the Suez Canal is by far the most popular route. Due to a decrease in Arctic sea ice, the Northern Sea Route have opened up and is expected to become a viable alternative and a possible competitor to the Southern Route. The purpose of this essay is to contribute by advising ship-owners on what route
Number theory is in a sense among the oldest disciplines of mathematics. A running theme is that many number theoretic problems are very easy to state and understand. However, actually solving these problems often requires much work or some very clever trick. An extreme case of this would be Fermat's last theorem: originally a conjecture by French lawyer Pierre de Fermat whose statement is und
Kaliningrad transit: Why to facilitate? As well as the title, this study is divided into two parts: the first one is about Kaliningrad transit assessed against the wide historic and socio-economic background, and the second one presents reasoning of general international law, as well as of international human rights law in favour of Kaliningrad transit facilitation. Here the Kaliningrad transit st
BAKGRUND På grund av att företag idag har möjlighet att konkurrera globalt genom att flytta produktionen utomlands och att säkra leveranser ifrån alla världens hörn har också inköpsfunktionens roll förändrats. För att nå företagets uppsatta mål är det viktigt att ha en välfungerande inköpsfunktion som jobbar effektivt. Inköpsfunktionen bör inte enbart fokusera på att uppnå det billigaste möjliga iBACKGROUND Through global competition with possibilities for companies to set up production and to secure supply from all over the world the role of purchasing has increased within businesses. In order to achieve business results, a well-working purchasing department plays an important part. To contribute, the purchasing function should not only focus on getting the cheapest price possible, but to
To most people bitumen is an unknown material although it is the most important ingredient in asphalt pavements, something that everyone knows and uses every day. By merely distilling crude oil a substance is produced with unique properties and durability, which could not have been produced by synthetic means, at least not in those quantities used. The production is not that simple and the raw mat
Det finns runt 100 000 blinda och kraftigt synnedsatta individer (BKSI:er) i Sverige. Sådan synnedsättning leder till en kraftigt minskad förmåga för självständig förflyttning och lägre livskvalité, med ökad risk för arbetslöshet, trafikolyckor, en stillasittande livsstil och depression. Hälften av alla käpp- och hundanvändare är med om en huvudkollision årligen, och drygt var tredje för en fallolReduced independent mobility of blind and low-vision individuals (BLVIs) cause considerable societal cost, burden on relatives, and reduced quality of life for the individuals, including increased anxiety, depression symptoms, need of assistance, risk of falls, and mortality. Despite the numerous electronic travel aids proposed since at least the 1940’s, along with ever-advancing technology, the m
Magneto-optical (MO) effects, viz. magnetically induced changes in light intensity or polarization upon reflection from or transmission through a magnetic sample, were discovered over a century and a half ago. Initially they played a crucially relevant role in unveiling the fundamentals of electromagnetism and quantum mechanics. A more broad-based relevance and wide-spread use of MO methods, howev
Improving the accuracy of estimated GFR (eGFR) measurement in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is an important goal.1 Current US and European recommendations suggest using race-free Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine-based eGFR (eGFRcr) equations (2021 age and sex [AS] or 2009 age, sex, and race–non-Black [ASR-NB]) in adults, without regard to cause or treatm
PowerPoint Presentation E-learning Module 1 Scanning at 7T Introduction This module introduces main elements that differentiates scanning at 7T from scanning at 3T, from a users perspective. Aspects of 7T physics are described, and examples of how that impact scanning will be given, with a focus on the additional challenges of scanning at 7T. In the end is a small quiz that can be used for testing

The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to understanding of the effect of organizational context on supply chain integration. One result is a context- based model that can provide support for practitioners regarding what level of integration to establish with suppliers and customers. Given the notion that most organizations are dependent on other organizations, it leads to a need for not only

In recent years more attention has been given to the rights of the indigenous peoples. Global awareness has been raised concerning the difficult circumstances under which they live. The ILO Convention No 169 and the UN Draft Declaration will serve as foundations for a new relationship between States and their indigenous peoples, promoting a stronger protection against discrimination and violations
