This thesis examines the compatibility of the Principle of Economic Reality against the Principle of Legality in Danish law and the Principle Legal Certainty in EU law within the context of Danish transfer pricing regulation. Utilizing the legal dogmatic method, the thesis establishes the principles and the Danish transfer pricing framework. It then employs the Dubai A case as a central case
This study presents a cost-efficient method to assess the condition of fire-retardant treatments on existing wooden façades. The method is based on measuring changes in Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC), linked to the hygroscopic salts used in fire-retardant systems on the Swedish market. These salts increase wood moisture uptake, which can cause leaching and reduced fire performance over time. S
We present measurements of the ratio of the proton elastic electromagnetic form factors, μpGEp/GMp. The Jefferson Lab Hall A Focal Plane Polarimeter was used to determine the longitudinal and transverse components of the recoil proton polarization in ep elastic scattering; the ratio of these polarization components is proportional to the ratio of the two form factors. These data reproduce the obse
The paper examines empirically the effect of international trade and geographic proximity on knowledge inflow to Sweden. Swedish patent data is used to trace knowledge flows. Both geographic proximity and international trade are in a first estimation found to affect knowledge flows. An extreme bounds analysis is conducted on the estimated coefficients. The coefficient for geographic proximity is s
This paper describes an accelerated finite element-boundary integral code with support for complex media. The code is implemented in Python using several open source packages, and uses Numba just-in-time compilation for improved performance. To accelerate the boundary integral part of the code, a multilevel implementation of the adaptive cross approximation is used. As a numerical example, scatter
Primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening disorder associated with autosomal recessive variants in genes required for perforin-mediated lymphocyte cytotoxicity. A rapid diagnosis is crucial for successful treatment. Although defective cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) function causes pathogenesis, quantification of natural killer (NK)–cell exocytosis triggered by K562 targe
In vitro studies of the carotenoid peridinin, which is the primary pigment from the peridinin chlorophyll-a protein (PCP) light harvesting complex, showed a strong dependence on the lifetime of the peridinin lowest singlet excited state on solvent polarity. This dependence was attributed to the presence of an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state in the peridinin excited state manifold. The I
Alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) aggregation is central to neuropathological changes in Parkinson's disease. The aggregates spread within the central nervous system according to a very predictable pattern. A prion-like transmission of alpha-syn aggregates has been recently proposed to explain this propagation pattern. First, we review the growing evidence for such a mechanism. This process is likely to
The ground and the excited state properties of the fullerene-linked quarter-thiophenes dyad were studied theoretically with the quantum chemistry method. To reveal the excited state properties of them in the vertical absorption process, the energies and densities of the HOMO and LUMO, the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), locally excited (LE) are studied with transition density matrix, charge
To measure the onset of mass transfer in eccentric binaries, we have developed a two-phase smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) technique. Mass transfer is important in the evolution of close binaries, and a key issue is to determine the separation at which mass transfer begins. The circular case is well understood and can be treated through the use of the Roche formalism. To treat the eccentric
At the University Hospital in Lund, Sweden, a preparation program was developed for children undergoing lumbar punctures (LPs) during chemotherapy for leukemia or lymphoma. Subsequently, a study was initiated to determine whether a preparation program for children prior to treatment would reduce their anxiety and improve their cooperation. This study also was undertaken to examine whether reinforc
This master thesis elaborates on the issues of the secondary transfer pricing adjustments that are common yet not regulated in an efficient manner by the states. The core problem of the double taxation issues to follow is the unwillingness of the states to accept the administrative tax decisions of each other in such sensitive fields as transfer pricing. Even though the primary and correlative tra
Forest ecosystems, covering over a third of land on the Earth, play a significant role in the global hydrological cycle, and influence soil erosion and climate change. However, the distribution, movements, quality of water, and hydrological processes in forested ecosystems are not well understood yet.
