Denna uppsats behandlar restriktioner för utländskt ägande i aktiebolag i Förenade Arab Emiraten (UAE). Till en början kommer studien att guida oss genom en översikt av bolagsetablering samt bolagsstrukturer i landet, vilket sedermera leder till att specificera skillnaderna mellan frizon och fastland. Följaktligen avgränsas studien för att snävare fokusera på aktiebolag i fastlandet. Här presenterThis essay covers the subject of foreign ownership restrictions in LLCs in UAE mainland. In the beginning the study will guide us through an overview of the incorporation process and recognized company structures, which further specifies the differences between free zone and mainland. Accordingly, the study narrows down to focus on mainland LLCs, where the 49/51 rule, which restricts foreign inves

Bör det utökade strandskyddet behållas i Hässleholms kommun? Miljön omkring sjöar och vattendrag har många viktiga funktioner. Den hyser en stor biologisk mångfald, den förser oss med ekosystemtjänster och den kan rena det vatten som slutligen når ut i havet. Dessutom lämpar den sig väl för friluftslivsaktiviteter som bad, fiske och promenader. I Sverige har vi sedan lång tid tillbaka haft ett sAbstract Lakes and streams constitute important habitats for many organisms. These environments are also valuable for recreation and health for human beings. The aim of the shoreline protection legislation is to protect shores from settlements so that natural and recreational values are conserved. Areas with high values may have an extended shoreline protection of a maximum of 300 meters. The pur

Cell fate reprogramming towards pluripotency or alternative somatic cell-types has highlighted the plasticity of adult somatic cells, providing new technologies to generate desired cell types for tissue repair or for disease modeling. There is momentum to bring these concepts to immunology by specifying unique immune cellular identities that set in motion immune responses. Dendritic cells (DCs) ar

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is a heterogenous disease, but once it becomes metastatic it eventually becomes treatment resistant. One mechanism of resistance to AR-targeting therapy is lineage plasticity, where the tumor undergoes a transformation to an AR-indifferent phenotype, most studied in the context of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). However, activation of additional de- or trans-diff

Importance: Developing disease-modifying treatments is a priority for Alzheimer disease research. Objective: To determine the potential of plasma phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217) and tau positron emission tomography (PET) to assess disease modification in treatment trials. Design, Setting, and Participants: This diagnostic/prognostic study used longitudinal data from the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in

Aims Aortic valve calcification (AVC) is an underlying pathophysiological mechanism for aortic stenosis that is common in the elderly, but less is known in younger individuals. The aim was to study the prevalence and associated characteristics of AVC in a middle-aged general population. Methods and results Data were obtained from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) comprising 30 15

Hur många roller ska skogen ta sig an? Skogen kan ta an många olika roller. Den kan vara en vacker vandringsmiljö. Kanske ett förvaringsutrymme för koldioxid? Eller till och med en viktig källa för bioenergi. Skogens förmåga att bidra med flera funktioner är fantastiskt men precis som andra naturresurser är förrådet begränsad. Dessutom är skogen en central del i klimatarbetet där dess funktion soThe land use, land-use change, and forestry sector (LULUCF) has historically been rather unregulated. Recent political developments have put pressure on countries to implement practices that increase net greenhouse gas (GHG) removals and improve the state of carbon sinks. One of these political developments is the European Union’s (EU) LULUCF Regulation, which as of now obligates Member States (MS

Recruitment and selection of managers is to a large degree characterized by information uncertainty. Managers’ performance is difficult to evaluate, as their responsibility consists of so many different aspects, as they may not always be observed due to need for freedom of action and as their work is affected by factors in their environment, which are outside of their control. Also, selection deci

In this work, the synthesis and characterisation of new low-valence transition metal carbonyl clusters, and an investigation into their viability to act as catalysts/catalyst precursors in asymmetric synthesis, are described. Carbonyl clusters based on ruthenium and osmium have been tested as (pre)catalysts for asymmetric hydrogenation of alpha-unsaturated carboxylic acids, and cobalt carbonyl clu

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar om stam- och progenitorceller från den embryonala mushjärnan. Jag har studerat dessa cellers förmåga att växa in vitro (utanför kroppen) samt efter transplantation till hjärnan hos vuxna och nyfödda råttor. Forskning om stamceller har länge varit ett populärt och uppmärksammat forskningsområde, men under de senaste åren har intresset i det närmaIn this thesis we have used cells dissected from the lateral ganglionic eminence (LGE), the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE), and the cortical primordium of the embryonic mouse forebrain. The tissue was dissected from either i) wild-type mice, ii) green fluorescent protein (GFP)-, or iii) Gtv-a-expressing transgenic mice, and subsequently grown and expanded in vitro using two different protocols.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Höftfraktur är en vanlig skada, som huvudsakligen drabbar äldre kvinnor, och oftast orsakas av ett ringa våld. Det är vanlig orsak till funktionsnedsättning, sjuklighet och dödlighet hos de äldre. Både incidensen (antal nya fall per antal innevånare och år) av höftfrakturer och det totala antalet har ökat de senaste årtiondena. Höftfrakturer medför stora kostnader för sHip fractures are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly patients, with a high risk of functional impairment and institutionalization. The incidence and number of hip fractures have increased during the recent decades and hip fractures consume considerable health-care resources. The incidence of hip fractures in Malmö, Sweden, 1992–95, is described in Paper I. The annual incidence pe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut leversvikt medför hög risk för komplikationer orsakade av bakteriesepsis. Hög nivåer av lipopolysackarider (LPS; endotoxin) i det portala blodet kan leda till förhöjd sekretion av pro-inflammatoriska signalsubstanser från leverns Kupffer-celler, vilket har visats vara ett tidigt och viktigt tecken på leverskada. Patogenesen för inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom (?inflammaAcute liver failure is accompanied by a high rate of bacterial septic complications. High portal level of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can lead to a pronounced secretion by Kupffer cells of pro-inflammatory mediators which have been shown to be early and important mediators of liver injury. Pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is complex; involving environmental, genetic, microbial, and im

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar informell organisation, m a o den uppsättning av sociala relationer som förbinder olika personer i företag och över företagsgränser. Det finns en lång tradition av att studera informell organisation. Man har länge förstått att dessa sociala system har betydelse för hur företag egentligen fungerar. Trots detta är den stiliserade bilden av företag sThe research draws from anthropological work on social exchange and later work on embeddedness in an exploration of how personal networks shape business. The purpose of the research is to contribute to an understanding of how social relations shape economic processes and vice versa. The research takes its starting point in small manufacturing firms in southern Sweden primarily in the plastics indu

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen är en sammanläggningsavhandling, bestående av fem artiklar, kring hur finansiella behov hanteras i nya och små företag. Den empiriska datan har insamlats genom två enkätstudier och en fallstudie. Det viktigaste bidraget i avhandlingen består i utvecklingen av begrepp som gör det möjligt att förstå s.k. finansiell bootstrapping i nya och små företag. Med finThe overall aim of this composite thesis, consisting of five articles, is to develop concepts for furthering the understanding of small business managers´ handling of finance. The main contribution is the development of a conceptual understanding of so-called financial bootstrapping behavior in small businesses (referring to the use of methods for minimizing and/or eliminating the need for financi

De flesta barn har haft minst en episod med akut varig öroninflammation (AOM) och/eller en period med vätska i mellanörat (SOM) före skolstart. De flesta får enstaka episoder, frekvensen av AOM avtar i 2-års åldern och frekvensen av SOM avtar före skolstart. Efter en AOM episod är det vanligt att man under Objective: Most preschool children have suffered from at least one episode of acute otitis media (AOM) and/or secretory otitis media (SOM). Some children have frequent AOM episodes and/or prolonged and recurrent episodes of secretory otitis media (SOM). The long-term out-come and sequelae are not fully clarified. Subjects and methods: Out of a birth cohort followed to the age of 3 years, 12 child

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna studie beskrivs och analyseras högskolelärares personliga teorier om sin pedagogiska praktik i högskolans grundutbildning. I anslutning till t.ex. Polanyi (1958) och Bourdieu (1990) har högskolelärare utvecklat en personlig praktisk teori som deltagare i ett akademiskt socialt sammanhang, först som studenter sedan som lärare. Denna kan ses som deras ”pedagogik” In this study university teachers? personal theories of their pedagogical practice in basic courses in undergraduate education are described and analyzed. According to for example Polanyi (1958) and Bourdieu (1990) university teachers have developed a personal practical theory as participators in an academic social context, first as students then as teachers. This can be seen as their ?pedagogy? a

Forests are of major importance to climate change mitigation due to their strong capacity to sequester carbon. Nearly half of the terrestrial carbon is stored in forests, and forests contribute to half of the terrestrial primary productivity, with forests in the mid- and high latitude ecosystems as major contributors. These high latitude forests are, however, projected to be strongly influenced by

Popular Abstract in Swedish I mitt doktorandprojekt har jag studerat den fästingspridda bakterien Borrelia och dess värddjur skogssork. Det övergripande syftet har varit att kartlägga den genetiska variationen i den delen av immunförsvaret som tar hand om bakterieinfektioner, som till exempel borrelia. I alla ryggradsdjur finns ett specifikt immunförsvar som kan identifiera små proteinbitar från eThe major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class IIB genes exhibit extensive allelic polymorphism, most likely maintained by pathogen-mediated balancing selection (PMBS). PMBS may operate in the form of heterozygote advantage (HA), and/or through the interaction of pathogens and specific MHC alleles via fluctuating selection (FS) or negative frequency-dependent selection (NFDS). In particular, NFD

Introduction: Vertebral fracture is a strong risk factor for future spine and hip fractures; yet recent data suggest that only 5-20% of subjects with a spine fracture are identified in primary care. We aimed to develop easily applicable algorithms predicting a high risk of future spine fracture in men and women over 50 years of age. Methods: Data was analysed from 5,561 men and women aged 50+ year

The majority of the world’s peatlands are located in northern regions where climate change is occurring most rapidly. Therefore, there is an urgent need to understand whether, and under what conditions, peatlands will remain carbon sinks or become carbon sources. The uncertainties in our predictions stem from a variety of sources, including uncertainty about the competing effects of rising air tem
