Den reklam som användare möter på internet är idag ofta anpassad och utvald för att överensstämma med dennes intressen. För att erbjuda sådan individuellt riktad reklam använder adtechsektorn metoder som bygger på en storskalig kartläggning av användares onlineaktiviteter. Vanligen är det en tredje part till den tjänst som användaren faktiskt nyttjar som ansvarar för och utför den här kartläggningToday, internet users often face advertising that is tailored and selected to match their interests. To offer such targeted advertising the adtech sector use methods that rely on a large scale tracking of users’ internet activities. In most cases this tracking is performed by a third party to the service that the user is accessing. This makes it hard for individuals to know what information is col

The project’s focus is on the protein galectin-8N and crystallizing it with lactose and a novel ligand, MH1. The question for the project comes from previous work that shows that galectin-8N has an empty pocket on the surface of the protein. A novel ligand was designed to improve the affinity to the protein through potential interactions between the chlorophenyl group in the ligand and a pocket on

DPM is a manufacturing company within the metal cutting industry. A number of years ago there emerged a desire to make statistical calculations for its production. Until today, the company has not done any post-calculations, which means that they have based their cost calculations and sales prices on precalculated costs. The absence of post-calculations leads to lack of cost-consciousness that is

Begreppet innefattar ett antal faktorer, men kännetecknas främst av en integrering av miljöskydd och utveckling, tillgodoseendet av rättigheter i förhållande till framtida generationer och mellan stater, och ett hållbart nyttjande av naturresurser. Konceptet fick internationellt stöd i början av 1990-talet, men har fortfarande en oklar rättsstatus på internationell nivå. Icke desto mindre har hållThe concept of “sustainable development” has been a part of international discussions regarding environment and development since the end of the 1980s. Although it comprises a number of elements, it is mainly characterized by the notions of integration of environmental protection with the development process, intra-generational equity, inter-generational equity, and sustainable use. The concept ga

Framväxten av elektronisk handel under 1990-talet ansågs av både OECD och EU skapa såväl förutsättningar för stora vinster för företag som stora utmaningar för skattemyndigheterna. Till sin natur är elektronisk handeln global, omedelbar, utan traditionella gränser och genomförs med relativ anonymitet . Dessa aspekter innebär svårigheter för ett traditionellt skattesystem. Enligt sjätte mervärdesskThe emergence of electronic commerce in the 1990's was acknowledged by both the OECD and the EU to bring about prospects of great profits for businesses as well as huge challenges for fiscal authorities. By its very nature, electronic commerce is global, instantaneous, without traditional borders and conducted with relative anonymity. These aspects make it difficult for a traditional tax syste

Uppsatsen analyserar den pågående konflikten i Centralafrikanska republiken och dess angränsande länder, med särskilt fokus på regionen omfattande nordöstra Centralafrikanska Republiken, östra Chad och västra Sudan (CCS-regionen). Med anledning av dess orsakande av avsevärda civila förluster och dess efterlämnande av åtskilliga förstörda samhällen utgör konflikten en betydande angelägenhet för detThe thesis examines the contemporary conflict in the Central African Republic and its neighbouring countries, in particular the region comprising north-eastern Central African Republic, eastern Chad and western Sudan (the CCS-region). Having caused numerous civilian casualties and left countless societies entirely ruined, the conflict is one of major concern for the international community. The co

Östersjön har under decennier påverkats av övergödning. Det är den stora tillförseln av näringsämnen och den långsamma vattenomsättning som gör att Östersjön är speciellt utsatt för övergödning. De näringsämnen som orsakar övergödning är vanligtvis fosfor och kväve. Dock finns en tveksamhet i forskningsvärlden om huruvida respektive ämne bidrar till övergödning. En fråga som forskarna är särskilt In the past decades, increased organic carbon concentrations have been reported from freshwaters across the Northern Hemisphere. However, there is little knowledge regarding whether or not these changes are linked to increasing concentrations of organic nitrogen. This poor understanding of nitrogen biogeochemistry is a problem in face of the potential eutrophication effects of nitrogen in receivin

I Sverige vänds omkring 50.000 barns liv upp och ner varje år, när deras föräldrar väljer att gå skilda vägar. Det som en gång varit barnets trygghet och hela värld, rivs upp och känns istället skrämmande och otryggt. Föräldrarnas viljor och känslor styr processen, vilket gör att barnen allt som ofta hamnar i kläm. I en majoritet av fallen löser föräldrarna barnets boende, vårdnad och umgänge gemeIn Sweden the lives of about 50.000 children are turned upside down every year, just because their parents have choosen to separate. What has once been the childs secure and safe world, are now ripped apart and frightening instead. The wills of the parents and their emotions, can greatly impact the decisions of the jucidial process which can in turn have a catasprohic backlash on the child. In the

A Summary In a large cohort of elderly women followed for 10 years, we found that balance, gait speed, and self-reported history of fall independently predicted fracture. These clinical risk factors are easily evaluated and therefore advantageous in a clinical setting. They would improve fracture risk assessment and thereby also fracture prevention. Introduction The aim of this study was to identi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den offentliga sektorn har vuxit drastiskt under det senaste århundradet och utgör idag en stor del av ekonomin i många västländer. Givet storleken på den offentliga sektorn och dess potentiella inflytande över såväl enskilda individer som samhälle är studier som dokumenterar effekterna av den offentliga sektorn värdefulla. Denna avhandling "Den Offentliga Sektorns BegrThe size of government has increased dramatically over the last century. Given the magnitude of government involvement in the economy and the potential influence it has on individuals as well as the economy, studies documenting the effects of government size may offer particularly timely insights. This thesis addresses some of these issues. Chapter two and three deal with welfare reform. Welfare

I 10 § 2 st. AvtL regleras en vanlig och i praktiken viktig fullmaktsform, nämligen ställningsfullmakten. Paragrafen ska läsas tillsammans med 10 § 1 st., 11 § 1 st., och 15 § AvtL men de rekvisit som är karakteristiska för just ställningsfullmakten är att mellanmannen i följd av ett avtal med huvudmannen, ska inneha en ställning som ger mellanmannen viss behörighet att rättshandla för huvudmannenThe “position of authority” (ställningsfullmakt) is amongst the most common and perhaps one of the most important types of power of attorney. The regulation is found in section 10 paragraph 2 of the Swedish Contracts Act 1915 (SCA) and states: “A person who, being employed in the service of another party or otherwise as a result of an agreement with another party, occupies a position which, accord

The paper explores the role and meaning of maṣlaḥa (social utility) and its possible appropriation in the field of Islamic legal and economic thought, as laid down by various medieval and contemporary Muslim scholars. Questions that are pertinent to the research are the following: how has maṣlaḥa been incorporated in legal reasoning and what kind of meaning does it convey; what type of economic (a

I över 50 år har Kongo-Kinshasa varit utsatt for krig, och landet präglas idag av en skenande statskollaps. Vi har utkristalliserat tre fundamentala orsaker till konflikten som anses relevanta i samband med vår frågestallning, vilken behandlar FN-styrkan MONUC: s insatser i landet. Maktspel över Kongos enorma naturtillgångar, politisk problematik och etniska skiljelinjer är grunden till såväl konf

In this paper we present a new method to electrodeposit highly porous gold (h-PG) onto a polycrystalline solid gold electrode without any template. The electrodeposition is carried out by first cycling the electrode potential between +0.8 and 0 V in 10 mM HAuCl4 with 2.5 M NH4Cl and then applying a negative potential for the production of hydrogen bubbles at the electrode surface. After that the m

Background: Hyperuricemia (HU) is in the causal pathway for developing clinical gout. There are few population-based assessments of the absolute and relative risk of clinically diagnosed incident gout in subjects with HU. We aimed to explore the long-term risk of developing incident gout among asymptomatic adults with different levels of serum urate (SU). Methods: Malmö Preventive Project was a po

Aims. We study the dynamics and growth of dust particles in circumstellar disks of different masses that are prone to gravitational instability during the critical first Myr of their evolution. Methods. We solved the hydrodynamics equations for a self-gravitating and viscous circumstellar disk in a thin-disk limit using the FEOSAD numerical hydrodynamics code. The dust component is made up of two

Disasters are the result of a vulnerable socioecological system interacting with a hazard. Causal – or the root causes of – vulnerability relates to historical and contemporary social, economic, political, cultural, and biophysical processes and factors, and human and institutional actors that increase the susceptibility of socioecological systems. Indigenous cultures throughout Papua New Guinea s

The digital era has brought forward many innovative technologies but their contribution to resilient, inclusive and sustainable societies remain ambiguous. Innovation has often been considered a key component for production and economic growth, but this notion is gradually changing. Innovation is turning into a practice for societal responsibility and sustainable development, transforming the dire

This paper explores the evolution of Swedish stabilization policies through six policy regimes between 1873 and 2019. We focus on discretionary policy decisions by estimating policy shocks using a SVAR model. Through these shocks, we explore how stabilization policies have evolved over time and how policymakers responded to key economic events such as financial crises and wars.
