The cruise industry has over the last few decades had an extensive growth. More and more people are going on cruises today than ever before. To a smaller destination, the economic impacts of cruise tourism are significant. On the other hand, it can also create an unbalance when it comes to environmental and social issues at the destination. The purpose of this paper is to, from a Triple Bottom Lin
Ett personnamn kan på olika sätt skyddas mot utnyttjande i kommersiella sammanhang. I svensk rätt finns, genom lagen om namn och bild i reklam, ett grundläggande skydd mot att näringsidkare utnyttjar annans personnamn i marknadsföring. Ändå väljer somliga att dessutom varumärkesskydda sitt namn enligt reglerna i VML. I denna uppsats redogörs för hur varumärkesskyddet skiljer sig från skyddet i lagThere are several ways to protect a personal name against exploitation in commercial contexts. Swedish law provides, through Act (1978:800) on Names and Images in Advertising (“the Names Act”) fundamental protection against tradesmen´s use of another person´s name in marketing. Nevertheless, some people choose to protect their names as trademarks, in accordance with regulations found in the Swedis
Den här uppsatsen behandlar huruvida den Europeiska byrån för förvaltningen av det operativa samarbetet vid Europeiska Unionens medlemsstaters yttre gränser, Frontex, genom sitt arbete orsakar hinder för flyktingars möjlighet att utnyttja sin rättighet att söka asyl. Då den Europeiska Unionen (EU) har ett pågående arbete för att harmonisera de nationella asylsystemen i medlemsstaterna blir det intThis paper addresses whether the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders, Frontex, through their work causes obstacles for refugees in exercising their right to seek asylum. As the European Union (EU) has an ongoing effort to harmonize the national asylum systems of the Member States it is interesting to examine whether the system is coherent. Since bo
Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste två decennierna har transplantation av embryonal vävnad från ventrala mesencephalon, mitthjärnan, utvecklats till en möjlig terapi för Parkinson’s sjukdom. Ju bättre transplantatet återställer den dopaminerga neurotransmissionen, desto större blir den motoriska förbättringen hos patienten. Dessvärre dör över 90% av de dopaminerga nervcellerna under tranOver the past two decades, grafting of embryonic nigral tissue has developed into a feasible therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease (PD). It has become apparent that the degree of restoration of dopaminergic neurotransmission by the transplanted cells is highly correlated to the symptomatic relief. However, the efficacy of the treatment is still far from optimal: More than 90% of the grafted
Mean motion resonances are a common feature of both our own Solar system and of extrasolar planetary systems. Bodies can be trapped in resonance when their orbital semimajor axes change, for instance when they migrate through a protoplanetary disc. We use a Hamiltonian model to thoroughly investigate the capture behaviour for first- and second-order resonances. Using this method, all resonances of
This paper is part of an ongoing research on the trajectory of rhetoric of political reforms in Bahrain during the past 10-years of reign by king Hamad bin Isa. Within less than two years of his reign, the king abandoned his wide ranging blueprints for political and institutional reforms designed to end to a decade-long civil unrest. I argue that the king continues to use, albeit more creatively,
The aim of the work presented in this thesis is the improvement of xylose fermentation performance of recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains expressing XYL1 and XYL2 from Pichia stipitis, encoding xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH). A recombinant strain of S. cerevisiae, fermenting both xylose and glucose to ethanol could decrease the production cost of ethanol from ligno-
Popular Abstract in Swedish Studier har visat att rörelsen i atrioventrikulära planet (AVPD) är korrelerat med såväl vänster kammares (VK) systoliska, mätt som ejections fraktion (EF), som diastoliska funktion. Ålder, hjärtfrekvens, VK storlek, vänster förmaks storlek, myokardiets tjocklek, kroppsyta och afterload är andra faktorer som påverkar AVPD. I denna avhandling studeras relationen mellan ALeft atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) has been shown to correlate well with left ventricular (LV) systolic function measured as ejection fraction (EF). AVPD has also been shown to be related to diastolic performance. Other factors related to AVPD include age, heart rate, LV and atrial dimensions, myocardial thickness, bodysurface, and afterload. In this thesis the left AVPD was studied i
Leukotrienes are membrane derived bioactive lipids that play an important role in immune responses by initiating and maintaining the inflammatory responses. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) released at the site of an inflammatory response attracts, activates and prolongs the life of leukocytes and lymphocytes. LTB4 can bind to two recently cloned cell surface G-protein coupled receptors named BLT1 and BLT2.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen diskuterar den sakramentala kyrkosynen hos den franske, romersk-katolske, teologen Henri de Lubac (1896-1991). Utgångpunkt är hans formulering (i ?Catholicisme? 1938): ?Om Kristus är Guds Sakrament, så är Kyrkan för oss Kristi sakrament. Hon (kyrkan) re-presenterar honom (Kristus), med detta ords hela urgamla kraft: hon gör honom i sanning närvarande.? ForThe thesis provides a discussion of the ecclesiology of the French Roman-Catholic theologian Henri de Lubac SJ (1896-1991) by showing how this is determined by his method of fundamental theology. I establish the term ?fundamental ecclesiology? for this inter-dependance of form and content, subject and object in theology; this is why his ecclesiology is sacramental in structure. I primarily use tex
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vad triggar kunskapsprocesser och kunskapsstrategier i projektbaserade organisationer? Sofia Pemsel, Institutionen för Byggvetenskaper, Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Inledning Vad avgör om en organisation har välutvecklade och fungerande kunskapsprocesser och färdigheter eller inte? Varför är vissa organisationer fantastiska på kundhantering medans andra är fenomenala i teThe beauty of projects lies in their ability to integrate different knowledge bases and expertise in novel ways. Projects, though, are temporary in nature and this has consequences for the organization that uses them as a business strategy to improve its efficiency. Project-based organizations are representative of this organizational form and can either be standalone or subsidiary organizations w
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal, hereditary disorder caused by a mutation in the gene encoding the protein huntingtin. Although mutant huntingtin is ubiquitously expressed throughout the body, HD research has mainly focused on the role of the basal ganglia. Dysfunction of these brain nuclei likely underlies motor disturbances in HD, including the conspicuous, uncontrollable, dance-like moveme

A decade has passed since the first human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line was established, providing immense hope in curing diseases by cell replacement therapy. For instance, in the pancreas, the insulin-producing β-cells are damaged in diabetes patients, and a successful replacement of those cells could provide a cure. These cells can be replaced by organ donation, but owing to a profound scarci
In 1977 the Swedish legislator initiated a series of alterations of the Swedish family law making joint parental responsibility the norm. However, a recent alteration renders single parental responsibility possible in more cases. As a consequence of both parents sharing the parental responsibility almost all decisions concerning the child's personal affairs must be made by the two parents toge
Den snabba digitala utvecklingen har medfört att immaterialrättsliga tillgångar har ökat i betydelse samt ekonomiskt värde, och i takt med denna utveckling har piratkopieringen kommit att bli ett allt större problem. De senaste tio åren har samtidigt en trendökning skett i praxis vad gäller straffrättsligt ansvar vid piratkopiering. Straffrättsliga förfaranden inom det immaterialrättsliga området The rapid digital development has caused intellectual property rights to increase in importance and economic value. In line with this development, piracy has become an ever-increasing problem. During the last ten years, an increasing trend has also appeared in regards to criminal law proceedings concerning piracy infringements. Criminal proceedings in the field of intellectual property have previo
Hydrogenation is a universal reaction, which is widely used in industry and academy. However, the reaction is not easy to be studied in extreme conditions such as high temperature and high pressure. On top of that, using Raman spectroscopy to observe the reaction is not so customary. Due to these aspects, the experiment was carried out. During the working process, the degradation reaction was also
