Abstract In this thesis the EP’s role and influence in the development of the co-decision procedure is analysed. Over the last decades the European Parliament has increased its power in the legislative process. It has been one of the central actors in the development of the co-decision procedure, established in the Maastricht Treaty and extended in the Amsterdam Treaty. The question of how the EP
The Church of Sweden has a long history of social work, and until year 2000 the Church of Sweden was a part of the government. Officially, the divorce between the two has not implied other changes than that each one is now in charge of its own economy. This study was done with a qualitative method in which semi-structured interviews were conducted with three deacons and three social workers. The a
The aim of this qualitative field study was to investigate and analyse Samburu men’s perspective on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) in Samburu, Kenya. The chosen subjects to examine were the men’s perspective of the practice of FGM/C itself, the process of change of mind and their involvement in ending FGM/C. To achieve this aim, in-depth interviews were made with 10 men in the surroundi
The literature suggests that executives still doubt the real contribution of HR, and one reason for this is that it is difficult to measure the Return on Investment in HR activities. In addition to this, earlier studies on the value creation of IT seems to discount the intangible value creation that IT investments bring to organizations. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and compare how
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are designer solvents comprised of a quaternary ammonium salt and a hydrogen bond donor that are mixed at a 1:2 molar ratio. They are a green, biodegradable alternative to ionic liquids (ILs) that replace organic solvents in many applications. However, the high viscosity of these solvents limits their areas of use, but this can be overcome through addition of water. Th
Denna uppsats har haft som syfte att undersöka vad som sker när makars ekonomiska enhet plötsligt upphör genom att en av makarna avlider. Det är många praktiska åtgärder rörande bouppteckning, bodelning och arvskifte som kan försvåras genom gällande lagstiftning. Efterlevande make ärver med försteg framför gemensamma bröstarvingar enligt 3 kap 1 § ÄB. I de fall där det finns särkullbarn eller univThe main purpose of this thesis is to describe what happens when the economic unit of spouses ceases due to death. There are many practical actions regarding estate inventory, division of property and distribution of the estate that are complicated. The surviving spouse inherit his or her spouse’s estates before direct heirs, regulated in ÄB 3rd chapter 1 §, the Swedish inheritance code. Children
Investments evaluation has been considerably studied by academics. Researchers argue that decisions are based on the least expensive investment because of the commoditization of Information Technology (IT) (Carr, 2003). Nevertheless, evaluating an investment strictly from a financial perspective may be problematic because it disregards other benefits that enhance organizational performance (Lin et
The flow of information must be more effective to optimize and improve the supply chain process. For the two case studies, there is a portal that manages the information. The contractor provides documents that the provider needs to submit quotation for a project purchase. All the handling of documents is made in the portal but the quote is sent by e-mail back to the contractor. For a purchase by c
Tullförordning 1383/2004 ger tullen befogenhet att beslagta varumärkesförfalskade varor som kommer in, respektive lämnar, den Europeiska Unionen. Förordningen är tillämplig på i stort sett alla varuslag och oavsett vilken tullstatus de har. Genom att sätta varor under ett tullförfarande som kallas transit beläggs dessa varor inte med importavgifter eller tullar förrän de ankommer och deklareras viCustoms Regulation (EC) No 1383/2004 allows Customs to seize counterfeit goods entering or leaving the European Union's borders. It is applicable to almost any type of goods, whatever customs status they have. Transit is a customs procedure used to facilitate trade, meaning that goods are not subject to import charges and duties until they arrive and cleared at the final destination. However,
Results from a wide range of searches targeting different experimental signatures with and without missing transverse momentum (ETmiss) are used to constrain a Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) with an additional pseudo-scalar mediating the interaction between ordinary and dark matter (2HDM+a). The analyses use up to 139 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy s=13 TeV recorde
Oxyanion holes play a major role in catalyzing enzymatic reactions, yet the corresponding energetics is frequently misunderstood. The main problem may be associated with the nontrivial nature of the electrostatic preorganization effect, without following the relevant formulation. That is, although the energetics of oxyanion holes have been fully quantified in early studies (which include both the
Purpose: Complications from diabetes mellitus can occur over time and although glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a good biomarker for glycaemic control, other factors also contribute to the development of complications in type 1 diabetes. More markers able to identify the risk of complications are needed. This study aimed to investigate plasma levels of FGF21, Cystatin C, lipocalin-2, and MMP-9 i
This Letter presents a search for the production of new heavy resonances decaying into a Higgs boson and a photon using proton-proton collision data at s=13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb-1. The analysis is performed by reconstructing hadronically decaying Higgs boson (H→bb¯) candidates as single large-radius jets. A novel
Purpose: We present a case report that describes neoadjuvant denosumab therapy initiated in a child with a solitary giant cell-rich juvenile xanthogranuloma tumor involving the spine, and review the current literature.Methods: A giant cell-rich histiocytic lesion involving the 11th thoracic vertebral body was identified in a healthy 5-year-old girl with persistent back and pelvic pain for several
This study systematically examines the regional uncertainties and biases in carbon dioxide (CO2) mole fractions from two of the state-of-the-art global CO2 analysis products, namely, the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) real-time atmospheric analysis from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the CarbonTracker Near-Real-Time (CT-NRT) reanalysis from the
The problems of neutrino masses, matter-antimatter asymmetry, and dark matter could be successfully addressed by postulating right-handed neutrinos with Majorana masses below the electroweak scale. In this work, leptonic decays of W bosons extracted from 32.9 fb−1 to 36.1 fb−1 of 13 TeV proton–proton collisions at the LHC are used to search for heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) that are produced throug
Background and purpose — Having patients self-evaluate the outcome is an important part of the follow-up after knee arthroplasty. The Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) introduced joint awareness as a new approach, suggested to be sensitive enough to differentiate well-functioning patients. This study evaluated the Swedish translation of the FJS-12 and investigated the validity, reliability, and in
Background: A long-term prospective observational safety study is essential to characterize fully the safety profile of systemic immunomodulating therapies for patients with atopic eczema. The TREatment of ATopic eczema (TREAT) Registry Taskforce offers a large platform to conduct such research using national registries that collect the same data using a predefined core dataset. Objectives: To pre
