Credit scoring, the process of evaluating loan applicants with the help of numerical methods, is widely used in the financial sector. When used correctly, it can aid the decision process and lower default rates on loans. New EU regulation has allowed third-party actors to access personal banking information, following the applicant's consent. The increase in available information that financia
English as a second language (ESL) classrooms in Sweden constitute multicultural and social platforms where different language backgrounds and attitudes meet and where norms intersect, are contested and negotiated, creating possibilities for some, but limitations for others. The Swedish National Agency for Education promotes norm critical pedagogy (NCP) as a means to tackle degrading treatment and
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a form of contract farming are increasing in number across Sub-Saharan Africa; providing a potential solution to the threat of food insecurity and stimulant of economic growth. Yet, the perceived extent to which the operations of contract-farming PPPs include original smallholders – inclusivity - is often questioned. There is currently little evidence of the e

Uppsatsen kommer sikta in sig på styrelsen och verkställande direktörens roller och uppdrag i bolaget, eftersom dessa tiThe essay that has been written concerns company law, and aims to investigate how far-reaching the company management's loyalty duty is, in order for damage liability to become relevant. A stock company consists of three bodies, namely the shareholders meeting, the board and the managing director. The essay will focus on the roles and tasks of the board and the managing director in the company
Till följd av principen om allas likhet inför lagen riskerar vårdpersonal allmänt åtal för misstag som föranlett att en allvarlig vårdskada har inträf-fat. Även om antalet rättsfall inte är många syftar denna uppsats till att under-söka det straffrättsliga ansvar som föreligger för enskild vårdpersonal för misstag som sker i yrkesutövningen. Särskilt undersöks de faktorer som kan vara av betydelsDue to the principle of equality before the law health care practitioners’ risk being subjected to public prosecution in general court because of a mistake made in their work. Although the number of legal cases is low, this essay aims to examine criminal liability for health care practitioners for mistakes that occur during their professional practice. In particular, the factors that might be of
Den 1 januari 2022 trädde ändringar av rättegångsbalkens kapitel 23, 35 och 36 i kraft. Lagändringarna avser bl.a. materiella och språkliga ändringar av 35 kap. 14 § RB samt införandet av 35 kap. 15 § RB. Sammanfattningsvis innebär lagändringarna utökade möjligheter att använda uppgifter lämnade vid förhör under förundersökningen som bevis i brottmålsrättegångar. Bakgrunden till lagändringarna är On 1 January 2022, changes to the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure entered into force. The changes to the law refer, inter alia, to substantive and linguistic changes to Chapter 35 Section 14 of the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure and the introduction of Chapter 35 Section 15 of the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure. In summary, the changes in the law mean expanded opportunities to use infor
It is widely recognized that exposure to harmful chemicals can affect our health. Allergic contact dermatitis is an allergic skin disease and one of the most common work-related diseases in today’s society. It can be caused by numerous substances, including rubber chemicals. They can be particularly problematic since many professions have daily contact with rubber chemicals, e.g., by wearing dispo
Straffreduktioner vid flerfaldig brottslighet och straffskärpningar vid återfall reglerar båda situationen då en person gjort sig skyldig till flera brott. Skillnaden är att vid straffreduktioner behandlas brotten inom ramen för samma rättegång och vid återfallet har ett eller flera brott först behandlats vid en rättegång och efter verkställandet av det straffet begås ett nytt brott som behandlas A ”penal reduction” in the case of multiple criminality and more severe sanctions due to a relapse into crime both regulates the case when a person has committed multiple crimes. The difference between the two regulations is that in the case of ”penal reductions”, the crimes are covered during the same trial, while in the case of a relapse, the convict has first been sentenced during one trial and
When designing steel frames used in large hall buildings it is favourable to use a design tool set up with a programming language that can consider many different load cases and load combinations. These design tools can use the finite element method in order to perform the calculations needed to design the frames. Due to the extent of these design tools, the amount of elements used are restricted
The large number of women, many of whom are mothers, migrating for work across the globe have caused disruptions in the so-called “global care chains”, as coined by Hochschild (2000). These disruptions are referred to as “care drain”, “care deficits” or “care gaps” (Dumitru, 2014). In response to these care gaps, families across the world have had to reconfigure care arrangements. The implications
The partnership and development cooperation between the European Union (EU) and Africa is described as a key priority for the European Commission and their aim is to further strengthen the partnership (European Commission 2020). However, the relationship between the European Union and the African continent has a deep and complex history that has been characterized by colonial ties and unequal powe
Under våren 2022 genomförde anställningsskyddslagen en förändring och den svenska arbetsrätten anses vara reformerad. En förändring av den svenska arbetsrätten har inte varit så omfattande sedan anställningsskyddslagen infördes 1973. Arbetsmarknaden präglas av kraven på flexibilitet och rörlighet samtidigt som anställningsskyddet behöver vara en trygghet för arbetstagare. Den svenska arbetsmarknadIn the spring of 2022, the Employment Protection Act implements a change and Swedish labor law is considered reformed. The transformation of Swedish labor law has not been as extensive since the introduction of the Employment Protection Act in 1973. The labor market is characterized by demands for flexibility and mobility, while employment protection needs to provide security for employees. The Sw
The authors present fabrication and electrical measurements of InSb nanowire field-effect transistors (FETs) and quantum dots. The devices are made on a SiO2-capped Si substrate from InSb segments of InAs/InSb heterostructured nanowires, which are grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. For the FETs, both single- and dual-gate devices are fabricated. The Si substrate is employed as the back gat
Herbivory is an important part of most ecosystems and affects the ecosystems' carbon balance both directly and indirectly. Little is known about herbivory and its impact on the carbon balance in high arctic mire ecosystems. We hypothesized that trampling and grazing by large herbivores influences the vegetation density and composition and thereby also the carbon balance. In 2010, we established fe
Implicit group messaging (IGM) is a decoupled messaging paradigm for connecting content publishers and consumers over the Internet. Unlike traditional multicast or publish/subscribe messaging, IGM delivers content to “implicit groups” of consumers with characteristics specified by the publisher at the time of publication. IGM systems must support thousands of users and an infinite number of implic
Background: The use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) is associated with an increased risk of pneumonia in patients with COPD. However the risks of other respiratory infections such as TB and influenza remain unclear. Methods: Through a comprehensive literature search of MEDLINE EMBASE CINAHL Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to July 2013 we identified randomized controlled tr
Irrigation water is an important vehicle for dissemination of human pathogens to plants. As contamination in an early stage of the production chain cannot necessarily be counteracted later, cultural measures to reduce the contamination risk need to be adopted during primary production. In a two-factorial greenhouse experiment, we studied the impact of inoculum density and the interval between irri
Prostacyclin is the major arachidonic acid metabolite of the vascular endothelium and is produced mainly via the cyclooxygenase-2 pathway. By acting on the prostacyclin (IP) receptor on platelets and vascular smooth muscle cells, prostacyclin exerts vasodilatory and antiaggregative/antiadhesive effects. Previous studies have shown that prostacyclin production increases after brain trauma, but the
Running an internal combustion engine with diluted methane/air mixtures has a potential of reducing emissions and increasing efficiency. However, diluted mixtures need high ignition energy in a sufficiently large volume, which is difficult to accomplish. Increasing the spark duration has shown to be a promising way of delivering more energy into the diluted charge, but this requires a more sophist
Certain species of the fungal genus Trichoderma are potent mycoparasites and are used for biological control of fungal diseases on agricultural crops. In Trichoderma, whole-genome sequencing reveal between 20 and 36 different genes encoding chitinases, hydrolytic enzymes that are involved in the mycoparasitic attack. Sequences of Trichoderma chitinase genes chi18-5, chi18-13, chi18-15 and chi18-17
