Corporate acquisitions are a vital part of the business world. They are a way to ensure growth. They are also a good way of adding values to the company, which in turn makes the company stronger. However, an acquisition is not risk free. It is often expensive and there are no guarantees that the acquisition will be profitable in the end. The buyer can to some extent protect its investment with a n
China‟s relations with African countries represent a growing trend in international relations and South-South cooperation. One important aspect of these liaisons is China‟s financial assistance and its deployment of resource-backed infrastructure loans. Angola is China‟s biggest supplier of oil, whereas China is Angola‟s largest donor, having provided Angola with 7.4 billion dollars in credit line
In terms of its total population, Sweden is one of the countries with the highest proportion of immigrants in the EU. Several factors are critical in integrating immigrants, especially their economic security in a new country. This thesis examines the relationship between law enforcement and economic security for over- indebted immigrants. The primary purpose of this research is to explore the rel
Experimental data on pulmonary regurgitation has linked right ventricular longitudinal function to left ventricular filling pressure in animals with induced and treated pulmonary regurgitation but this relationship has not been investigated in patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rToF). The aim of this study was to determine if right ventricular longitudinal function assessed using cardiova
Tiden är knapp att nå uppsatta klimatmål. För att nå dit krävs kraftfulla åtgärder och styrning. Det står även klart att vi inte når ett hållbart transportsystem med bara någrafå åtgärder – det krävs att en mängd olika åtgärder och styrmedel kombineras och införs. Utöver ökad energieffektivisering, byte av drivmedel och ökade transportkostnader krävs även åtgärder och styrmedel för ett mer transpo
This thesis covers the estimation of the fracture behaviour of the European wood species Norway spruce and birch. The fracture behavior of wood can be quantified through three material parameters: the stiffness, the strength, and the specific fracture energy. In the present work, these parameters are characterized through two methods.The first method is purely experimental and only estimates one pThis thesis covers the estimation of the fracture behaviour of the European woodspecies Norway spruce and birch.

InledningSverige lyfts ofta fram som ett av världens mest jämställda länder, samtidigt som forskning visar att det finns betydande skillnader mellan mäns och kvinnors livsvillkor. Sedan mitten av 1990-talet har jämställdhetsintegrering varit den rådande strategin inom svenska myndigheter och svensk förvaltning för att öka jämställdheten i samhället. Förenklat innebär detta att ett jämställdhetsper
[3H]Arachidonic (20:4) and [14C]linoleic acid (18:2) were fed to thoracic duct-cannulated rats in test meals of either tracers alone, cream, Intralipid, pure arachidonic acid, or pure linoleic acid. Less [3H]20:4 than [14C]18:2 was recovered in chyle during the first 5 h. After cream feeding, the proportion of radioactivity found in phospholipids was high and increased during the first 3 h.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den kontinent Skandinavien idag tillhör kallas Eurasia, men den kontinent vi ser idag har inte alltid funnits. Kontinenterna var inte bara sammanfogade på andra sätt, de har också rört sig över jordens yta (de långsamma med samma hastighet som naglar växer!), i platt-tektoniska processer. Innan uppkomsten av Eurasia har Skandinavien i omgångar tillhört andra konstellatiIn an attempt to reconstruct the pre-Caledonian cratonic margin of Fennoscandia, U-Pb geochronological and geochemical investigations have been performed on allochthonous orthogneisses in the northern Swedish Caledonides. The crystalline basement of the nappes have also been examined to further constrain the continuation of various chronologically defined orogenic belts. To constrain the global pa
Popular Abstract in Swedish Trä är ett konstruktionsmaterial med många positiva egenskaper, både avseende mekaniska och tekniska egenskaper och avseende det som ibland kallas mjuka egenskaper. Trä har generellt hög styrka i förhållande till sin vikt, det är ett naturligt förnybart material och det anses av många vara estetiskt tilltalande. Jämfört med andra vanliga konstruktionsmaterial som stål oThis thesis concerns experimental and theoretical work regarding perpendicular to grain fracture in wooden structural elements. The experimental part concerns strength tests of glulam beams with a hole. The theoretical parts concern development of two models for strength and fracture analysis, both based on fracture mechanics approaches, and their application to analysis of beams with a hole and d
Vi lever i en tid av snabb vetenskaplig och teknologisk utveckling. För 100 år sedan hade ingen kunnat drömma om de saker som helt har förändrat vår var- dag och hur vi uppfattar omvärlden; datorer, mobiltelefoner, Internet, rymdfart, våra upptäckter om universums barndom och avlägsna galaxer samt vår insyn i kvantfenomenens mikroskopiska värld. Idag står vi på tröskeln till en era formad av nanotWe live in a time of rapid scientific and technological advancement. People liv- ing 100 years ago could never dream of inventions like those having completely changed our way of life, and our perception of the world; computers, mobile phones, the Internet, space travel, unraveling the mysteries of the early universe and distant galaxies, and our insight into the microscopic world of quantum phe-

Vetenskapligt skrivande är ett viktigt moment i studentens grundutbildning. Skrivandet kräver att studenten ska ange källor på ett korrekt sätt i enlighet med en viss stil. Av erfarenhet konstateras att processen att hantera olika stilar kräver tid. Kritiskt tänkande är en grundläggande förutsättning inom vetenskapligt arbete och kräver i sig inte detaljkunskap kring olika stilars struktur. Dagens
Popular Abstract in Undetermined Nanoparticles have attracted great interest in biomedicine and material science due to their unique and unconventional properties. Polymer nanoparticles containing pre-designed molecular recognition sites can be synthesized using molecular imprinting technique. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have high affinity and selectivity that are similar to antibodies,Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have attracted great interest in many applications including bioseparation, chemical sensing, catalysis, drug delivery, etc. Recently, molecularly imprinted nanoparticles have become accessible due to a number of synthetic methods that have been developed. The high molecular binding selectivity, fast binding kinetics and colloidal stability make MIP nanopartic
Syftet med denna rapport är att granska och utvärdera den praxis som finns idag i fråga om hur kommuner hanterar anslutning av industrier och verksamheter till det kommunala, REVAQ-certifierade reningsverket. Anledningen till detta är att det slam som uppstår vid rening av avloppsvatten har ett högt innehåll av närsalter. Detta innebär att slammet kan nytt-jas som gödningsmedel, förutsatt att det
Polygama äktenskap i Sverige uppmärksammades under hösten år 2017. Anledningen var att Nacka kommun ordnade bostäder till en man med hans tre hustrur och 16 barn. Skatteverket publicerade i januari 2018 en rapport om hur många personer som enligt folkbokföringsregistret lever i polygama äktenskap. Rapporten visade att det totalt finns 679 personer som är regi-strerade som gifta med mer än en make During the autumn of 2017, increased attention was paid to polygamous marriages in Sweden. It all started after a situation in Nacka municipality. A housing was arranged for a man with his three wives and 16 children. In January 2018, the Swedish Tax Agency published a report regarding the amount of people, according to the Population Register, registered in polyg-amous marriages. The report prese
Jordabalkens felregler har genomgått lagändringar och utvecklats genom rättspraxis. I ett HD-avgörande, NJA 2007 s. 86, ansågs en säljare av fast egendom under vissa kriterier ha en upplysningsplikt för fel som omfattas av köparens undersökningsplikt, men som säljaren har vetskap om. Mot bakgrund av det tidigare rättsläget och HD:s argumentation i det enskilda fallet har domens prejudikatvärde ifrThe regulations in property law (JB 1970:994) regarding defects in real estate have undergone changes and developed through case law. In a ruling by the supreme court, NJA 2007 s. 86, a seller was considered, under certain criteria, to have a duty to disclose regarding a defect that he was aware of, although it was detectable and therefore subject to the buyer´s obligation to inspect. Because of t
