The taxation of the digital economy has become a relevant subject, as business models and value creation chains of all sectors have been transformed bringing challenges to the international tax system and parameters for the allocation of taxing rights between source and residence jurisdictions. In view of these changes, the European Commission has published two proposals for directives on the taxa

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur EU-rätten har påverkat svenska arbetstagarorganisationers möjligheter att använda sig utav stridsåtgärder och vilka effekter denna påverkan kan ha på den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen. För det första måste det sägas att EU-domstolens genom Laval och Viking har gjort det svårare för arbetstagarorganisationer att vidta stridsåtgärder då domstolen ansett aThis thesis has the aim of investigating how EU-law has affected the legal position regarding Swedish trade union’s possibilities of undertaking industrial actions. It also aims at determining whether the influence of EU-law on the right to undertake industrial actions has had any effects on the Swedish model. According to CJEU’s judgements in Laval and Viking it must be said that the possibilit

Inom musikpsykologi har många studier antytt att musik kan påverka emotioner. Denna kvalitativa studie sökte att utforska de emotionella och kognitiva effekterna samt användningar av musik av musiker, särskilt gällande coping och reglering av emotioner. Semi-strukturerade intervjuer utfördes med tio musiker. Datan analyserades genom användning av tematisk analys under ett kritisk realistiskt paradIn the field of music psychology, many studies have suggested that music can influence emotions. This qualitative study aimed to explore the emotional and cognitive effects and usage of music by musicians, especially pertaining to coping and regulating emotions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten musicians. The data were analysed using thematic analysis under a critical realist par

Following a brief introduction on the history of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the concept of the Circular Economy (CE), the impact of the dairy industry on the environment is introduced. This study then focuses on the gaps in research and the problem of implementing CE practices in the dairy industry. After a review of the literature on the Circular Economy and the Business Model, thi

There is a need for more efficient measures to ensure responsible migration in host countries. Sports are recognised as a key measure to promote integration. This thesis’s purpose is to increase the understanding of the impacts football clubs have on integration for youth girls with foreign backgrounds in Stockholm, Sweden. This is done by exploring social relations’ role in integration and examin

Despite progress over the last decades, East Africa has one of the highest ratios of preventable maternal mortality in the world. This qualitative case study sheds light on Midwife-Led Care (MLC) in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi and Somalia. MLC is a model of care associated with improved health outcomes and enhanced utilization of health systems resources. Nevertheless, the model is not properly integr

Background: while access to safe water in Uganda increased between the early 1990s and 2010, current studies are showing that many safe water sources are not being properly maintained and so end up being abandoned. Since the maintenance of safe water sources is under the jurisdiction of water user committees (WUCs), this study seeks to measure the ability of water user committees in mitigating a d

Background: The production of bioethanol from lignocellulose hydrolysates requires a robust, D-xylose-fermenting and inhibitor-tolerant microorganism as catalyst. The purpose of the present work was to develop such a strain from a prime industrial yeast strain, Ethanol Red, used for bioethanol production. Results: An expression cassette containing 13 genes including Clostridium phytofermentans Xyl

Lipid A (a hexaacylated 1,4' bisphosphate) is a potent immune stimulant for TLR4/MD-2. Upon lipid A ligation, the TLR4/MD-2 complex dimerizes and initiates signal transduction. Historically, studies also suggested the existence of TLR4/MD-2-independent LPS signaling. In this article, we define the role of TLR4 and MD-2 in LPS signaling by using genome-wide expression profiling in TLR4- and MD-2-de

Conclusions. The presented analysis of nasal polyposis using connectivity based on the PubGene literature co-citation network demonstrates that this tool can be used to identify key genes in DNA microarray studies of human polygenic diseases. Objectives. DNA microarray studies of complex diseases may reveal differential expression of hundreds of genes. According to network theory and studies of ye

The purpose with our essay is to shed light on homeless womens vital conditions from two perspectives, the homeless women and different professionals whom in there profession deal with homeless women and their problems. To obtain this we used the following questions: Ø Under which vital conditions do the homeless women live and which survival strate-gies do they have? Ø What kind of response do th

Arbitration is generally viewed as a form of dispute resolution more or less removed from the control of states. Such a view is based on the notion that this form of dispute resolution rests upon an agreement between parties. Without questioning the notion of arbitration as resting upon an arbitration agreement, it can be argued that there also is significant state involvement. Such involvement in

Background How does genetic liability to suicide attempt (SA), suicide death (SD), major depression (MD), bipolar disorder (BD), schizophrenia (SZ), alcohol use disorder (AUD), and drug use disorder (DUD) impact on risk for SA and SD? Methods In the Swedish general population born 1932-1995 and followed through 2017 (n = 7 661 519), we calculate family genetic risk scores (FGRS) for SA, SD, MD, BD

The aim of this study was to identify the location of the N terminus of peptide agonist ligands when bound to the human B1 bradykinin (BK) receptor. To reach this aim, we exploited the fact that high-affinity binding of kinin peptides to the human B1 receptor subtype requires a peptide N-terminal L- Lys, whereas high-affinity binding to the B2 receptor subtype does not require this residue. This w

How do joint measures of premorbid cognitive ability and familial cognitive aptitude (FCA) reflect risk for a diversity of psychiatric and substance use disorders? To address this question, we examined, using Cox models, the predictive effects of school achievement (SA) measured at age 16 and FCA—assessed from SA in siblings and cousins, and educational attainment in parents—on risk for 12 major p

Background. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is characterized by over function of the parathyroid glands and disturbances in mineral metabolism as a result of renal failure. It is common among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and it often persists after successful renal transplantation. sHPT is associated with osteoporosis and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Background andAims Middle-Eastern immigrants constitute a growing proportion of the Swedish population and are at high risk for Type 2 diabetes. This calls for a more proactive preventive approach for dealing with diabetes risk in this target group. The aim was to test the effect of a culturally adapted lifestyle intervention programme on changes in lifestyle habits and cardio-metabolic outcomes c
