Since the introduction of the co-decision procedure in the European Union (EU), the Council of the EU and the European Parliament have become more interdependent in order to reach an agreement on a legislative file. The interdependence has led to a significant increase in the number of trilogues, which is problematic as these informal meetings are secluded and have no references to the treaties. D
Lagrådet har en central roll i att granska nya lagförslag från riksdagen och regeringen. Denna granskning går främst ut på att säkerställa så att lagarna är lättförståeliga och förenliga med redan rådande lagstiftning. Under senare tid har allt större vikt från Lagrådets sida lagts på att kontrollera att nya lagförslag inte inskränker enskildas grundlagsskyddade fri- och rättigheter samt att de stThe Swedish Council on Legislation bears a central role in reviewing bills put forth by the Parliament to the government. The main objective of the review is to make sure that laws are both comprehensible and compatible with existing legislation. With time, a greater part of the Council on Legislation’s work has been devoted to ensuring that new bills conform to constitutional law. There has also
Framväxten av sociala medier har möjliggjort för nya sätt som varumärken kommunicerar med sina konsumenter. Ett framväxande fenomen inom varumärkeskommunikation är möjligheten för konsumenter att samskapa mening av varumärken. En förenklad syn på kommunikationens roll inom litteraturen på samskapande har identifierats och legat till grund för studien. Syftet med studien har således varit att skapaThe rise of social media has enabled brands to communicate with their customers in new ways. A growing phenomenon within brand communication is the opportunity for consumers to co-create meaning for the brand. The basis for this study was the simplified view of co-creation in the field of research. This study aims to gain knowledge of how a brand with fans can, through communication on social medi
Purpose: The aim of the thesis is to create a prototype model for Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TD-ABC) within Lean Accounting, to study whether it can serve efficiently for cost and resource allocation within Skånes Universitetssjukhus (SUS) and compare TD-ABC with the existing costing method. Methodology: To deepen our understanding of the subject we have chosen to observe a health care p
The purpose of this project was to create a risk model for extended time between major overhauls on steam turbines. The project was created by Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery who develops and manufactures steam turbines and performs maintenance. It is the turbine users who have requested a longer time in order to reduce maintenance costs and increase availability. Prior to the work, external and
This thesis aims at understanding, from a world-system analytical and decolonial perspective, the structural causes behind the outbreak of the Tipnis-conflict in Bolivia in 2011. Through interviews with representatives from the governmental party MAS and social movements that have taken up different positions in the conflict, and in dialogue with world-system analytical and decolonial theorists, t
The aim of the present Master’s Thesis was to improve the temperature control of a calorimetric instrument called STIC (Several Temperatures Isothermal Calorimeter). Calorimetry is the science of measuring heat, heat production rate or heat capacity; the present instrument is an isothermal calorimeter used for the measurement of thermal power from different types of processes. In the instrument, f
Context. Stars presently identified in the bulge spheroid are probably very old, and their abundances can be interpreted as due to the fast chemical enrichment of the early Galactic bulge. The abundances of the iron-peak elements are important tracers of nucleosynthesis processes, in particular oxygen burning, silicon burning, the weak s-process, and α-rich freeze-out. Aims. The aim of this work i
The current use of a 30 million year dateline for accepting genera in the Parmeliaceae is evaluated. Its value is doubtful since evolution obviously went quicker in some lichen groups compared with others. Parallel evolution is also very common among lichens. Polyphyletic genera should always be split, while sister groups may remain split or be combined after considering non-molecular characters.

Over the years several models have been developed to describe hydrophobic pervaporation. The different approaches can be generally classified as process-orientated or membrane-orientated. Among these models the resistance-in-series model (RSM) has a unique position since it combines process conditions with membrane parameters. The aim of this work is to demonstrate the extension of the RSM to c
The presence of 5‐HT (serotonin) in ovarian tissue and its varying concentrations during the oestrous cycle suggests that it takes part in ovarian function and in the ovulatory process as one of several mediators of the inflammatory‐type reaction preceding follicular rupture. With the aid of a recirculating perfusion model, in which the central stimulatory action of 5‐HT was avoided, its direct ov
In the social sciences, many quantitative research findings as well as presentations of demographics are related to participants’ gender. Most often, gender is represented by a dichotomous variable with the possible responses of woman/man or female/male, although gender is not a binary variable. It is, however, rarely defined what is meant by gender. In this article, we deconstruct the concept ‘ge
To search for an S = -1 di-baryonic state which decays toΛp, the 3He(K-,Λp)nmissing reaction was studied at 1.0 GeV/c. Unobserved neutrons were kinematically identified from the missing mass MX of the 3He (K-,Λp) X reaction in order to have a large acceptance for the Λpn final state. The observed Λpn events, distributed widely over the kinematically allowed region of the Dalitz plot, establish tha
The Entangled Media Geographies of the Nordics: Contemporary Scandinavian Production Practices through the Prism of Audio-visual Nordic Noir.Olof Hedling, Lund UniversityAlthough predominantly contemporary in its outlook, this paper attempts to grabble with a particular development in media history, namely the gradual de-nationalization, or, perhaps more accurately, the increasingly transnational
Maritime operations are complex socio-technical activities, with many interacting agents. Such agents are acting based on different, sometimes conflicting, goals. The traditional approach for safety, based on decomposition and bimodality, might lead to ineffective analyses, ignoring the transient and hidden links among activities as they are performed in everyday work. In this sense, the Functiona
