Till följd av de senaste årens internationella korruptionsskandaler, som exempelvis avslöjats genom Panamadokumenten, har det Internationella samfundets fokus på transparens kring företags verkliga huvudmän ökat. Användandet av olika typer av företagsstrukturer och mekanismer med syftet att gömma den verkliga huvudmannen är vanligt förekommande bland korrupta politiker, kriminella och affärsmän. GDue to recent corruption scandals such as the Panama Papers, beneficial ownership has become a hot topic on the global agenda. Government officials, rich businessmen and criminals worldwide use corporate vehicles and mechanisms in order to hide the real owner and can thereby launder assets stemming from financial crimes. In relation to corruption, this is a commonly used method in order to veil th

Staters immunitet i fall som rör grova kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter har blivit flitigt omdiskuterad i den folkrättsliga debatten, och har gett upphov till motstridiga domar bland olika nationella domstolar. Medan grova kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter utgör brott mot tvingande folkrättsliga regler, jus cogens, från vilka inga avsteg är tillåtna, så utgör reglerna om statsimmunitet ett The jurisdictional immunity of states in cases concerning serious human rights violations has been extensively discussed in the international legal debate, and has given rise to conflicting judicial decisions by courts of various jurisdictions. While serious human rights violations constitute breaches of peremptory norms, jus cogens, from which no derogation is permitted, the law of state immunity

In a competitive market like electricity retailing it is crucial for energy providers to estimate risk and cost for ?xed price contracts in order to set competitive but not unpro?table prices. This report calculate three price components that covers the wholesale and retail costs. Pro?le price com- ponent is the expected electricity load to the expected spot prices in every hour in the delivery pe

Horse flies and other biting Diptera are not only annoying pests, but can inflict numerous diseases on the people and animals they bite. Studies in recent years have shown horse flies are less attracted to striped surfaces, providing evidential support that zebra stripes have evolved as biting fly protection. The Omo River Valley tribes in the historical zebra range of southwest Ethiopia regularly

The main aim of the present study was to provide a deeper insight into the collateral consequences of news coverage. More specifically, how the interaction of valence (positive vs. negative) and proximity (domestic vs. foreign) impacts the perceived safety and optimism of the public. One hundred and seventy-four Dutch participants were randomly assigned to one of five conditions (neutral news, pos

I Sverige såväl som övriga världen ökar befolkningen för varje dag som går. Våra städer förtätas och överallt dyker nya byggnader upp. Förutom att uppföra fler byggnader vill vi även att dessa ska vara höga och på andra sätt komplexa. Detta ställer i sin tur högre krav på projektören som ska säkerställa byggnadens brandskydd. För att bestämma hur brandskyddet ska utformas i byggnader kan projektöAs buildings get more and more complex and our cities get more and more populated, challenges arise for the persons involved in designing buildings. One of the most important system, the fire protection measures, needs to be designed properly for every building. As the buildings get more complex, the fire protection design needs more often to be flexible and appropriate for the situation. One way

This case study examines Poland's unwillingness to participate in the European Union’s decision in September 2015 regarding the relocation of refugees from Greece and Italy, to other member states. The question explores how liberal intergovernmentalism and post-functionalism explains Poland's position in the decision. The study uses the process tracing method. Both theories highlight vot

Kravet på dubbel straffbarhet är en regel av straffprocessrättslig karaktär som utgör ett villkor för svensk jurisdiktion och domstolsbehörighet. Kravet infördes först år 1957, men berörde då endast utlänningar. Först 1972 utvidgades principen och ett generellt krav på dubbel straffbarhet fördes in i den nya brottsbalken. Enligt BrB 2 kap. 2 § 2 stycke får inte svensk domstol döma över en gärnin

1900 infördes den första lagstadgade regleringen kring föräldraskap och 38 år senare trädde Sveriges första semesterlag i kraft. Idag är ledigheten en viktig anställningsförmån och med tiden har arbetstagare fått större inflytande vid förläggning av ledighet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att jämföra hur förläggning av ledighet regleras inom föräldraledighetslagen respektive semesterlagen för att utreThe first regulation on Parental Leave was established 1900 and 38 years later, The Annual Leave Act was passed by the Swedish Government. Today the leave is an essential benefit for the employee and during time the employee’s ability to influence the distribution of the leave has increased. The purpose of this study is to compare how the distribution of the leave is regulated in the Swedish Pare

The Danish Eye - A study in The Gaze & binary oppositions in four artworks by Vilhelm Hammershøi The following thesis will investigate four paintings by the Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi, with a study of portraits from 1890 to 1911. The paintings include two self portraits and two portraits of the artist’s partner, Ida. The method of investigation will be structured around Gillian Rose’s

Principen om skyldigheten att skydda är kontroversiell och har varit det sedan International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty introducerade principen. Principen antogs enhälligt av Förenta Nationernas medlemsstater 2005 och verkade vara ett nytt sätt att skydda medmänskliga värden. Principen om skyldigheten att skydda används för att skydda befolkningen inom stater där staterna sjäThe responsibility to protect is a controversial principle and has been ever since it was introduced by the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty in 2001. Unanimously adopted by the United Nations member states in 2005 the principle seemed to be a new way of protecting humanitarian values. To protect the citizens of states when the states themselves are unwilling or unable

During past 10 years, the availability of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) tools has made application of hard turning increase remarkably in a range of industrial areas, especially in automotive, roller bearing and hydraulic industry. Among the applications of CBN cutting tools, precision hard turning attracts great interests since its environmentally friendly and flexibility, which ulti

AIM: To investigate if and how the proinflammatory cytokine interferon gamma (IFN gamma) affects ghrelin expression in mice. METHODS: The plasma concentration of ghrelin, and gastric ghrelin and somatostatin expression, were examined in wild-type mice and mice infected with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylon). Furthermore, ghrelin expression was examined in two achlorhydric mouse models with varying de

We have used density functional theory calculations to investigate how the hydrogen-bond strength is modified when a ligand is bound to a metal using over 60 model systems involving six metals and eight ligands frequently encountered in metalloproteins. We study how the hydrogen-bond geometry and energy vary with the nature of metal, the oxidation state, the coordination number, the ligand involve

Effects of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) conjugation on peptide interactions with lipid membranes and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were investigated for KYE28 (KYEITTIHNLFRKLTHRLFRRNFGYTLR), an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory peptide derived from human heparin cofactor II. In particular, effects of PEG length and localization was investigated by ellipsometry, circular dichroism, nanoparticle trackin

BACKGROUND: Cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurements are helpful in managing patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and testing the cerebrovascular reactivity to CO(2) provides information about injury severity and outcome. The complexity and potential hazard of performing CBF measurements limits routine clinical use. An alternative approach is to measure the CBF velocity using bedside, non-in
