The conditions for trading differ in the EU, even though the idea of the single market was born almost six decades ago and started to go toward completion over two decades ago. These differences causes asymmetry in trade costs which lead to trade volumes, and in extension wealth, are less in the union than what they would be if the union was more harmonized. This paper is therefore aiming at findi
Immunotherapy utilizes the patient’s own immune system for the treatment of cancer. Due to exceptional antigen-presentation capacity Dendritic Cells (DCs) have great potential for cancer immunotherapy. Using direct cellular reprogramming our group has identified a combination of transcription factors, PU.1, IRF8, and BATF3 that reprograms mouse and human fibroblasts and a range of cancer cell line
When a website has critical points in time when the amount of visitors increases significantly within a very short time frame, it is extremely important for the underlying system to be prepared to properly handle these large amount of requests. In Emues’ case it’s about more than just keeping the services running, but also to improve on the user experience while purchasing tickets for events. The
Byggsektorn har stor miljöpåverkan och det är viktigt att byggentreprenader genomförs på ett sätt som följer de miljömål som finns. Genom offentlig upphandling har myndigheter en stor möjlighet att inverka på miljöpåverkan, genom att ställa krav på att deras byggentreprenader följer vissa miljökriterier. De undersökta miljöcertifieringarna skulle då kunna utgöra utmärkta medel för att på ett struk
Sverige präglas idag av en låg nyproduktion av bostäder trots att det finns en ökande och stark efterfrågan. Bostadsmarknaden domineras till stor del av ett fåtal större kommersiella byggherrar och de producerade bostäderna är tämligen homogena. Boverket konstaterar att det krävs nya sätt för att möta en ökande efterfrågan på variation från konsumenter på bostadsmarknaden. Under senare år har ettThe housing market in Sweden is characterized by a relatively low production of housing even though there is a great demand for it. The housing market is dominated by a few large commercial building companies and their products are quite homogeneous. The Swedish National Board of Housing (Boverket) has confirmed that new strategies are needed to address the increasing public demand for variation i
In times of globalization, cultural contact is a phenomenon that occurs on a daily basis. Immigration is a big contributor to the cultural contact. The phenomenon of immigration brings about many essential questions that can be hard to adjust to. The acculturation process itself is dependent of factors such as the contemporary societal climate as well as the active role of the immigrant. Questions
Many buildings, both new and old, suffer from moisture-related problems, with negative consequences on health, costs for rebuilding and lost confidence in the building industry. These problems could have been avoided if moisture issues had been focused on and dealt with throughout the building process. A method for including moisture safety in the building process has therefore been developed. The
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate how the percentage of female directors on a company’s board affects the firm’s performance. The empirical results of this thesis will be used to help decide whether Canada should establish a quota for female board members. Theories: There are four main theories referenced in this thesis, they are; agency theory, signaling theory, resource dependen
According to Swedish law, prostitution is not a crime, but is considered a form of dishonest providing, and may constitute ground for deportation. The Swedish model criminalizes the buyer, and emphasizes the seller as someone being used by others to satisfy their sexual desire. The EU directive requires equal treatment for all union members, which questions the ability to deport people in prostitu
Cloud computing has become one of the fastest growing segments of the IT industry. In the wake of this success, cloud based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have emerged as an alternative to the traditional ERPs for companies to plan and manage their resources. These systems require low upfront investments and can rapidly be deployed, as they and their underlying infrastructure are provi
The starting point of this thesis is the managing of user-generated data in the online ecosystem and expanding development of big data. Many are worried that companies and authorities are invading their online privacy, and the lack of control by the provider of data, the citizens, can be considered one of our time’s most pressing civil rights issues. At the same time, media and information literac
In the summer of 2013, devastating floods caused heavy damage along various streams in central Europe. In the river basin Eferding in Austria, the Danube River reached record water levels and flooded hundreds of homes in the low-lying areas over night. The response of the government to resettle people has been heavily criticized by a local citizen initiative, leading to protests in front of the re
This thesis reviews the literature on indigenous place-based environmental education in Canada. The concept of place is considered a starting point to localize, decolonize and integrate indigenous and non-indigenous knowledges (the culturally-situated subjective and intersubjective ways of knowing and meaning-making) in mainstream environmental education. Following a discussion of how a critical p
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament injury is a common knee injury and the treatment may be surgical and/or conservative. Different studies have shown surgical and conservative treatment, respectively, as the best intervention. Therefore it is uncertain which treatment is preferable. When searching in PubMed, no articles were found describing the thoughts and experiences of orthopedists and phy
Uppsatsen behandlar det engelska inflytandet på genomförandet av 1766 års tryckfrihetsförordning. Sverige var det första landet i världen att införa tryckfrihet som en grundlagsskyddad rättighet i och med TF 1766. En tidig from av tryckfrihet hade dock redan utvecklats i England under 1600-talet. Utöver tryckfriheten finns det även intressanta konstitutionella likheter länderna emellan som motiverThis essay deals with the English influence on the implementation of Sweden’s Freedom of Press Act of 1766. Sweden was with this the first country to introduce freedom of the press as a constitutionally protected right. An early form of freedom of the press had, however, already emerged in England during the 17th century. In addition to the freedom of the press, there are also interesting constitu
This paper explores discourses about European colonialism and particularly Sweden's colonial legacy in Swedish upper secondary school history textbooks. All three textbooks are currently in use and are based on the latest school curricula from 2011. The theoretical framework used to analyze the textbooks consists of post-colonial feminist theories combined with a post structuralist perspective
The web server is an essential component of many systems today. It has the possibility to give access to files with sensitive information and it is the backbone that enable a vast amount of applications. This makes it critical to ensure that files are only accessed and altered by intended users and that web servers are always up and running when expected. One important aspect of doing this is to e
Gränsen mellan spel- och tävlingsvinster kan vara svår att dra, men det är ack så viktigt att den dras korrekt. Skatterättsligt skiljer sig nämligen behandlingen av de båda vinstformerna åt markant, där tävlingsvinster som huvudregel beskattas av vinnaren. Spelvinster medför däremot inte någon individbeskattning, utan här får istället arrangören vara den bidragande aktören. Avvägningen mellan spelThe line between gambling and competition wins can be difficult to draw, but it is important that it is drawn correctly. In fact, tax law differs significantly in the treatment of the two forms of profit, where competition winnings are, as a general rule, taxed by the winner. Gambling winnings on the other hand, do not entail any individual taxation. Here, the organizer is instead the contributing
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur anhöriga upplever att leva bredvid en närstående med missbruksproblem.
