The Kurdish economy is today heavily dependent on hydrocarbons exports. Current trends are that hydrocarbons exporting and processing countries, as well as interest groups within these countries, are pushing to expand production and maximise profits while this is still possible. The magnitude and observed acceleration of the present climate emergency - with major impacts both in terms of loss of c

Initial second language acquisition proceeds surprisingly quickly. Foreign words can sometimes be used within minutes after the first exposure. Yet, it is unclear whether such rapid learning also takes place for more complex, multi-layered properties like words with complex morphosyntax and/or tonal features, and whether it is influenced by transfer from the learners’ native language. To address t

BACKGROUND: Antibacterial peptidyl derivative - Cystapep 1, was previously found to be active both against antibiotic-resistant staphylococci and streptococci as well as antibiotic-susceptible strains of these species. Therefore, it is a promising lead compound to search for new antimicrobial peptidomimetics.OBJECTIVES: We focused on identifying structural elements that are responsible for the bio

The current confusion about what species are has two major causes. First, many authors discussing species concepts seem not to have considered for what purpose species are distinguished. Several proposed species concepts define species in a way that is only useful in a narrow field of advanced biological science. It is argued that species concepts should rather fulfil the needs of the majority of

A Relative Success? Notes on the circulation and wider reception of Scandinavian Crime In this paper Scandinavian crime, or Nordic Noir, in its filmic and televisual incarnations, will be considered on its relative merits as a transnationally successful, but regionally based popular cultural expression. The inquiry will be conducted against a backdrop which briefly traces the history and some of t

The cavity receptor organ (previously X-organ or organ of Bellonci) of Artemia salina consists of ciliated neurons whose cilia protrude into a cavity beneath the cuticle. The neuronal dendrites penetrate a giant accompanying cell and epidermal cells before entering the cavity. The cavity beneath the cuticle, the ciliated neurons and the connexion with the medulla terminalis justifies a homologizatThe cavity receptor organ (previously X-organ or organ of Bellonci) of Artemia salina consists of ciliated neurons whose cilia protrude into a cavity beneath the cuticle.

The marketing materials of remote eye-trackers suggest that data quality is invariant to the position and orientation of the participant as long as the eyes of the participant are within the eye-tracker's headbox, the area where tracking is possible. As such, remote eye-trackers are marketed as allowing the reliable recording of gaze from participant groups that cannot be restrained, such as infan

The European project ‘REsilient WAter Innovation for Smart Economy’ (REWAISE) aims to establish a novel ‘smart water ecosystem’ by integrating an advanced digital infrastructure for decentralized water services and decision-making, engaging all stakeholders to highlight the actual value of water. The approach will reduce the consumption of freshwater and energy while also recovering valuable nutri

Radiation protection professionals are engaged in risk communication with various stakeholders to contribute to risk awareness, trust building, informed risk decisions, and advice for action. The newly launched IRPA guideline on risk communication has the objective to enthuse communication on radiation protection and provide experiences and techniques regarding this task. However, radiation protec

This conceptual chapter investigates how knowledge moves across different “social fields” (Bourdieu, 2005b). We propose a certain social Gestalt new knowledge discussion creates the dialogically constructed antenarrative field. An antenarrative field is a social space for knowledge exchange where agents speculate on future scenarios’ potential for realization, and our notion of the antenarrative f

In this paper Scandinavian crime, or Nordic Noir, in its filmic and televisual incarnations, will be considered on its relative merits as a transnationally successful, but regionally based popular cultural expression. The inquiry will be conducted against a backdrop which briefly traces the history and some of the obstacles which historically have limited the transnational circulation of European

Användningen av provokativa åtgärder anses i dagsläget som en godtagbar metod inom ramen för brottsbekämpningen. På grund av åtgärdernas känslighet utifrån integritets- och rättsäkerhetsaspekt används metoden endast i undantagsfall och framförallt för att bekämpa den grova organiserade brottsligheten i Sverige. Syftet med denna uppsats är för det första att utreda rättsläget gällande användningenThe use of provocative investigative measures is an acceptable method within Swedish law enforcement. The method is only used in exceptional cases on the basis of integrity and rule of law and particularly to combat organized crimes in Sweden. The purpose of this paper is firstly to investigate the legal position regarding the use of provocative investigative measures in Sweden and secondly to c

This thesis will investigate the possibility to have SU(2) gauge fields as the source to the Cosmic Inflation and/or to the Dark Energy. It will be explained that, under certain conditions, the Universe can be filled with vector fields without violating its isotropy. Those conditions are naturally fulfilled within the SU(2) gauge theory. Both Einstein's equations and the equations of motion

Den gällande svenska våldtäktsregleringen baseras antingen på tvång eller på otillbörligt utnyttjande vid en särskilt utsatt situation. I begreppet tvång ligger såväl våld som hot, vilka båda enligt den svenska regleringen är lågt ställda krav. ”Särskilt utsatt situation” å andra sidan ser bland annat till vissa exemplifierade situationer. I och med att Europadomstolen avkunnade Bulgariendomen, viThe current Swedish rape law is based on either force or improper use of a “particularly vulnerable situation”. The concept of force includes violence and threat, with levels which are fairly easy to achieve, whilst “particularly vulnerable situation” is exemplified in the law. Since the European Court of Human Rights pronounced the judgment against Bulgaria, requiring the criminalisation of any n

The study investigates the difficulties small companies experience in implementing a standardized environmental management system or achieving an Eco-label. Further the study evaluates what should be included in an environmental management system to establish credibility. The market for Eco-labels and certifications has generally been adapted for large companies, but since the environmental awaren

Är det möjligt att förlora något som aldrig funnits? Det verkar så, enligt det rådande rättsläget i svensk rätt. Rättssäkerhet innebär att rätten formellt ska vara förutsebar och materiellt visa respekt för grundläggande mänskliga och medborgerliga fri- och rättigheter. I uppsatsen diskuteras om det kan anses rättssäkert när en skadeståndsfordran som inte kunnat göras gällande blivit preskriberaIs it possible to lose something that never existed? It seems so, according to the current legal position in Swedish law. Legal certainty, the rule of law, entails that the legal system is formally foreseeable and materially respects fundamental human and civil rights and freedoms. This essay discusses if it can be considered to be in compliance with the rule of law if a claim for damages that co

Sedan ikraftträdandet av jurisdiktionen för den internationella brottmålsdomstolen (ICC) har endast medborgare i afrikanska stater prövats av domstolen. Detta faktum har väckt upprördhet och anklagelser om imperialism. Denna uppsats ämnar att granska Romstadgan, den bakomliggande traktaten, för att se om det är reglerna där som har resulterat i denna fördelning. Vidare ställs också frågan om vilkaSince the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) came into force, only citizens of African countries has been tried by the Court. This fact has aroused anger and accusations of imperialism. This essay intends to examine the Rome Statute, the treaty which contains the rules of the ICC. The purpose is to see if the formulations in the statute has resulted in the current situation. Fu

The aim of this thesis is motivated by three parallel discussions; the popular Lutheran rhetoric in placing law against grace, the discussion in contemporary moral philosophy where a neutral perspective on ethical assessments is assumed, and a recent Swedish case and public debate in which a minority group's need for bodily integrity was breached with reference to universal principles. These d

Hårda material slits inte, de knäcks. Diamant är ett bra exempel eftersom det är det hårdaste naturligt förekommande materialet. Diamant slits inte, men det knäcks om man slår det med en hammare och det blir till grafit vid cirka 800◦ C. Att försöka använda diamant till bergborrning är alltså lika effektivt som att borra med en blyertspenna. Så är inte fallet för hårdmetall. Hårdmetall är nästan It is possible to produce functionally graded cemented carbides on a large scale by double pressing. Being able to predict the binder migration in WC-Co cemented carbides during the sintering is essential to the design of such cemented carbides. The cobalt content is one of the main factors determining the hardness gradient. The cobalt binder migrates from large to small grains, from high cobalt c

Antalet företagsförvärv har vuxit snabbt i Sverige under de två senaste årtiondena och är idag en del av viktiga strategiska och ekonomiska beslut för många företag. Ett företagsförvärv kan dessutom vara en mycket stor ekonomisk risk för den förvärvande parten. Denna uppsats undersöker processen för ett företagsförvärv från den förvärvande partens perspektiv samt ur ett rättsekonomiskt perspektiv.The amount of acquisitions has grown rapidly in Sweden during the past two decades and are today a very important strategic and financial decision for many companies. A corporate acquisition could also be a very big financial risk for the acquiring party. This thesis researches the process of corporate acquisitions from the perspective of the acquiring party with a focus on an economic analysis of
