Affinity-based solid-phase extraction (SPE) is an attractive low-cost sample preparation strategy for biomarker analysis. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as affinity sorbents offer unique opportunities for affinity SPE, due to their low manufacturing cost and high robustness. A limitation is the prediction of their affinity; therefore, screening of analyte recovery and specificity within a l

In this paper, we analyse in detail two famous space weather events; a railway problem on 13-14 July 1982 and a power blackout on 30 October 2003. Both occurred in Sweden during very intensive space weather storms and each of them a few years after the sunspot maximum. This paper provides a description of the conditions on the Sun and in the solar wind leading to the two GIC events on the ground.
Ur beskattningssynpunkt har det stor betydelse huruvida en verksamhet anses utgöra handel med fastigheter eller inte. Om så är fallet bedrivs näringsverksamhet, och verksamheten träffas av specialreglerna i 27 kap. IL, varpå tillgångarna klassificeras som lagertillgångar. Det påverkar i sin tur dotterbolags möjlighet att med avdragsrätt lämna koncernbidrag till moderföretaget. Det har även betydelFrom a tax standpoint, it is of great importance whether a certain activity is considered to be professional real estate trading or not. The Swedish Income Tax Act (inkomstskattelagen) contains special provisions that applies when professional real estate trading is conducted, saying that a company’s assets can be classified as current assets. This will in turn affect a subsidiary’s possibility to
1 januari 2018 infördes brottet olaga integritetsintrång i brottsbalkens fjärde kapitel. Lagstiftningen var ett resultat av ett större arbete med syfte att skydda enskildas personliga integritet. Olaga integritetsintrång blir tillämpligt när någon olovligen sprider integritetskränkande bilder, däribland sexuella bilder. Spridning av dessa bilder på internet har under senare år varit ett växande prOn January 1, 2018, unlawful intrusion of integrity was added to the fourth chapter of the Swedish Penal Code. The legislation was part of a larger agenda from the Swedish government designed to protect the people’s personal integrity. Unlawful intrusion of integrity is applicable when someone is illegally distributing intrusive images, among them sexual images. The distribution of these images on
Digitaliseringen har medfört svåra utmaningar för det nuvarande skattesystemet. Internationell bolagsbeskattning återspeglar tanken att ett företag måste vara fysiskt närvarande för att leverera varor eller tjänster på en marknad. Nya företagsmodeller möjliggör däremot att kunna nå ut till konsumenter utan någon fysisk närvaro. Det nuvarande internationella skatteregelverket gör det möjligt för boThe digitalisation has posed difficult challenges for the current tax system. International corporate taxation reflects the idea that a company must be physically present to deliver goods or services in a market. However, new business models allow companies to interact with consumers without being physically present. The current international tax regulations allow companies to generate significant
För under vilka förutsättningar stater kan reservera sig till vissa bestämmelser i traktat, som de ändock vill binda sig till, regleras framför allt i Wienkonventionens artikel 19. Stater får enligt denna artikel göra reservationer såvida inte: (a) en reservation är förbjuden enligt fördraget, (b) fördraget föreskriver att endast reservationer av visst slag får göras och reservationen inte är av dFor the conditions under which States may reserve themselves to certain provisions of a Convention, which they nevertheless wish to oblige themselves to, are regulated in Article 19 VCLT. States may make reservations under this Article unless: (a) a reservation is prohibited by the treaty, (b) the treaty provides that only reservations of a certain kind – and the reservation in question is not of
As passive investing has grown in popularity, the number of available passive investment strategies have risen as well. This paper strives to investigate one of these investment strategies, namely fundamental indexation. More specifically, the aim of this study is to investigate if fundamental indices are more mean-variance efficient compared to capitalization-weighted indices. Given that the supe
The high sex ratio at birth and its gradual increase are one of the most significant demographic changes in China in the past 30 years. The sex ratio at birth first increased until 1994 and then stayed fluctuating before it decreased from 2000 on. Regarding the issue of whether or not China's current family planning policy affects and to what extent it affects the sex ratio at birth, starts wi
This paper examines the impact of the Paris agreement on firms on the Swedish stock market. Additionally, the firms were also categorized into sustainable and unsustainable firms by their Environmental Pillar Score (which is part of the ESG score) in order to investigate performance differences between the two groups. On top of that, a comparison between sustainable firms with the market index OMX
The purpose of this study is to investigate how femvertising, in specific advertising which aims to encourage female empowerment, is perceived by two generations of women and if it affects their attitudes toward an ad.

Ett avgörande av Högsta domstolen kan endast angripas genom extraordinära rättsmedel. När Högsta domstolen får in en ansökan om resning eller klagan över domvilla i ett mål avgjort av Högsta domstolen är det som utgångspunkt andra justitieråd i domstolen än de som avgjorde det aktuella målet som prövar huruvida grund finns för att bevilja en sådan ansökan eller klagan. Dessa justitieråd kan då ha A decision by the Supreme Court can only be challenged through extraordinary remedies. When the Supreme Court receives an application for relief due to a substantive defect or a complaint on the grounds of grave procedural errors the general rule is that other justices of the Supreme Court than those who decided the case in question review whether there are grounds for granting such an application
The RF power amplifier is one of the most critical blocks of transceivers, as it is expected to provide a suitable output power with high gain, efficiency and linearity. In this paper, a 60-GHz power amplifier based on an injection locked structure is demonstrated in a standard 65 CMOS technology. The PA core consists of a cross-coupled pair of NMOS transistors with an NMOS current source. This st
I den första sektionen av denna uppsats behandlas hur alkohol- och drogmissbruk inverkar på bedömningen av grund för uppsägning eller avsked. De lagbestämmelser som är aktuella i denna del finns framförallt i lagen om anställningsskydd, arbetsmiljölagstiftningen samt socialförsäkringsbalken. Sjukdom utgör som huvudregel inte saklig grund för uppsägning utan arbetsgivaren har en skyldighet att försThe first section of this essay addresses how alcohol or drug addiction affects whether the employer has the right to terminate the employment or dismiss the employee. Relevant regulations are mainly found in the Employment Protection Act, the Work Environment Act and the Social Insurance Code. The main rule is that the employment cannot be terminated due to a person’s sickness if the employer has
Background:The research of social science tends in many cases lean towards an approach that focus on negatively influencing factors, rather than health promoting factors from a salutogenic perspective. In the field of criminology, this approach commonly investigates reasons behind criminal behavior instead of studying the salutogenic factors, i.e. reasons why people do not engage in a criminal lif
Medgärningsmannaskapet är en komplex rättsfigur som både tillämpats och kommit till uttryck på olika sätt. Det är en oförutsägbar konstruktion och därför intressant att studera och lätt att kritisera. Uppsatsens syfte är att redogöra för medgärningsmannaskapets rättsliga stöd, tillämpning och uttryck samt huruvida konstruktionen tillämpats i linje med en sådan medverkanslära som StraffrättskommiIn Sweden there is a complex legal construction called “medgärningsmannaskap” (perpetrators of parties to a crime) that is both applied and expressed in many different ways. It is an unpredictable unit in the Swedish legal system and thus interesting to study and easy to criticize. The purpose of this thesis is to describe on what legal foundation “medgärningsmannaskapet” is built upon, how it is
