Introduction: Moving in very old age is considered to be a major life event and relocation and access to appropriate housing options is a hot topic in the public debate across Europe. For very old people, the decision-making process and aspects influencing relocation is not well studied. Occupational therapy interventions mainly focus on ageing-in-place solutions when aiming for independence and w
Antimicrobial peptides represent a heterogeneous group that displays multiple modes of action such as bacteriostatic, microbicidal and cytolytic properties that are sequence and concentration dependent. Life threatening infectious disease is now a worldwide crisis and treating them effectively is becoming difficult day by day, due to the emergence of antibiotic resistant strains at alarming rates.

Klimatförändringar har under de senaste åren blivit alltmer akuta. Runt om i världen förekommer naturkatastrofer på grund av den globala uppvärmningen och den globala medeltemperaturen ligger långt över målsättningen om 1,5°C. För att en förändring ska kunna genomföras krävs det att världen, enskilda länder, företag och individer vidtar åtgärder. Till följd av klimatkrisen har Förenta nationerna oClimate change has become increasingly urgent in recent years. Around the world, natural disasters are occurring due to global warming and the global average temperature is well above the 1.5°C target. In order to achieve chang-es, the world, countries, companies, and individuals need to take action. In response to the climate crisis, the United Nations and the EU have developed international agre
Den svenska aktiebolagsrätten ger upphov till ett antal intressekonflikter mellan olika parter. En av dessa intressekonflikter är mellan aktieägarna och företagsledningen, där företagsledningen kan ha incitament att driva företaget på ett sätt som strider mot aktieägarnas bästa intresse. Kompe-tensfördelningen i aktiebolag är uppställt på så sätt att ägandet och kontrol-len för aktiebolaget kan i Swedish company law gives rise to several conflicts of interests between different parties. One of the conflicts of interest is between shareholders and the company management, where the latter may have incentives to run the company in a way that does not align with the best interests of the shareholders. The distribution of decision-making powers in the company is also set up in such way that own
Det råder ingen tvekan om att internet idag uppfattas som en del av vår vardag och att det utgör ett nödvändigt verktyg för att få tillgång till information, såväl av kommersiell som privat natur. I takt med den tekniska utvecklingen och den ökade tillgängligheten som internet medför ökar även konkurrensen i informationsflödet, vilket marknaden har behövt anpassa sig till. Idag finns möjligheten aThere is no doubt that the internet today is considered as an integral part of our daily lives and that it constitutes a necessary tool in order to gain access to information, both commercial and private. In line with the technological development and the increased access to information made possible by the internet, there is also an increased competition in the information flow, which the market
Uppgiftsskydd och marknadsexklusivitet är två nya immaterialrättsliga skydd till fördel för forskande läkemedelsföretag. Dessa skydd utgör komplement till bland annat patent och upphovsrätt och syftar till att skydda läkemedelsföretagens produkter från konkurrens. Uppgiftsskydd och marknadsexklusivitet har funnits i EU:s lagstiftning sedan 1987 men har först de senaste åren fått en ökad betydelse Data exclusivity and marketing exclusivity are two new forms intellectual property rights, for the benefit of pharmaceutical companies. They constitute a complement to other IPRs, including patent and copyright, and are intended to provide new pharmaceutical products with a limited time of protection against competition. Data exclusivity and marketing exclusivity has been a part of EU legislation
Laddade partiklar med hög energi kan ibland färdas snabbare än ljusets hastighet i det medium det för stunden befinner sig i. När detta sker, emitteras så kallat Cerenkovljus. Ljuset ligger inom det synliga spektret och kan alltså detekteras med vanlig kamerateknik. Många av de radionuklider som används för nukleärmedicinska undersökningar och terapier emitterar högenergetiska laddade partiklar nBackground: Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging detects the light emitted when a charged particle travels through a medium with a velocity greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium. The beta-particles emitted from many radionuclides used in nuclear medicine have sufficient kinetic energy to satisfy the requirement. Purpose: This thesis aimed to examine the physical and optical properties
Popular science summary Do metformin and phenformin cause toxicity to mitochondria of human blood cells? Metformin and phenformin are anti-diabetic drugs associated with lactic acidosis as a rare side effect. This side effect is thought to be due to drug-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. In this project, the mitochondrial toxicity of metformin and phenformin was assessed in human blood cells. I
Abstract Background – The ability to generate induced pluripotent stem cells-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CM) has raised much expectation for treatment of myocardial infarction as a stem cell based therapy. In the present study we aimed to evaluate the ability of iPSC-CM production in vitro from three fibroblast sources and verify if there is inter-clonal or inter-source variance. Methods and Res
Denna uppsats belyser problematiken med överprövningar som föranleder upphandlande myndigheter att frångå det obligatoriska annonseringskravet genom att direktupphandla samhällsåtaganden på grund av synnerlig brådska. Att en upphandlande myndighet blivit tvungen att direktupphandla ett samhällsåtagande, i syfte att utföra en obligatorisk skyldighet, för att det uppstått brådska på grund av överpröThis thesis highlights the problem of review procedures that lead contracting authorities to waive the mandatory publication of a contract notice by directly procuring public commitments due to extreme urgency. The fact that a contracting authority has been forced to directly procure a public commitment, in order to perform a mandatory duty, in the event of urgency due to a review procedure will n
Solidariskt ansvar är huvudregeln när flera skadevållare gör sig skyldiga till en och samma skada. Solidariskt skadeståndsansvar innebär att skadelidande kan kräva en av skadevållarna på hela skadeståndsbeloppet som om skadevållaren skulle varit ensam ansvarig. Det krävs att de allmänna förutsättningarna för skadeståndsskyldighet är uppfyllda för var och en av skadevållarna. Den som har blivit kräJoint and several liability is the general rule in Swedish law when multiple guilty parties are responsible for one together caused damage. Joint and several liability means that the injured party can claim that just one of tortfeasors is held responsible for the entire amount of the damages like as if the tortfeasor was alone responsible for the whole damage. The general conditions for liability

Buildings account for a significant portion of energy consumption and carbon dioxide production in the United States. Renovations could improve the energy efficiency of these buildings. However, a number of market barriers, e.g. high upfront costs, are resulting in a low adoption rate of energy efficiency (EE) technologies in the building sector. Apartment buildings face an additional challenge of
Traditionally, the underground problems have been handled in the topic geotechnical engineering. Within geotechnical engineering FEM has in recent years begun to be used to solve problems in the soil mechanics. The soil mechanical relations are also applicable to the superstructure materials. The usage of the same tools on the entire road structure increases the chances to catch the degradation of
The purpose of this essay is to compare the sacrifice story in Gen 22 with rabbinical commentaries on the binding of Isaac (Aqedah). More specifically, I want to examine what it is in the text of Gen 22 that may have influenced and inspired the early rabbinic tradition of Aqedah; that all subsequent animal sacrifices received its force and validity from the profits that Isaac won by his sacrifice.
