The private equity market has grown considerably the recent decade and has evolved into a substantial market in the overall economy. With regards to regulation of the private equity market, Sweden and the UK both differ as well as share common views. The intent of this thesis is to analyze the main differences between the two countries and analyze a further regulatory engagement. The private equit

The EU has, in the Lisbon strategy, set an objective to become the most competitive economy in the world by 2010. It will, in order to achieve this objective, be necessary to develop and rapidly spread new technologies on the common market. National IP laws provide the legislative framework for the existence and scope of an intellectual property right while EC competition law concerns the exercise

Russia is a country in transition towards democracy. However, the transition is very slow and many would say that Vladimir Putins's politics is pushing the country back to an authoritarian stage. One of the prerequisites of democracy is the possibility for the people to choose the leader. Nevertheless, democracy is much more than just being able to vote. The people of Russia are led by the man

Popular Abstract in Swedish Målet avhandlingen har varit att undersöka möjligheten att bygga en kvantdator i kristaller dopade med joner av sällsynta jordartsmetaller. Det har visat sig att sådana joner har en väldigt lång livstid, vilket är en förutsättning för de typer av experiment som har utförts i den här avhandlingen. För att ytterliggare förhindra att de känsliga tillstånden i jonerna störsThis thesis describes a number of coherent processes, such as quantum information processing, superradiance and electromagnetically induced transparency, which have been experimentally implemented using rare-earth-ion-doped crystals. The rare-earths are a class of elements that have in common, an atomic structure that allows for very long lifetimes as well as coherence times, both on optical trans

OBJECTIVE-The Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium has collected type 1 diabetic families worldwide for genetic analysis. The major genetic determinants of type 1 diabetes are alleles at the HLA-DRB1 and DQB1 loci, with both susceptible and protective DR-DQ haplotypes present in all human populations. The aim of this study is to estimate the risk conferred by specific DR-DQ haplotypes and genotypes

Cleanliness has seen a rapid increase in both developed and developing countries, along with a parallel rise in not only water and energy but also cleaning products consumed. Water and energy supply as well as dealing with waste are environmentally critical in securing a sustainable future. This dissertation aims to contribute to sustainability by providing new insights around how conventions chan

Spatial Data Infrastructure is one of the requirements for sustainable development and many countries worldwide are at different stages of implementation. Several researchers have shown that SDI has helped governments to recover funds due to reduction in duplication of efforts and also has increased efficiency in resource management and planning.Tanzania as other developing countries, is at initia

Genom att införa en skiljeklausul som kontraktsvillkor kan avtalsparter undandra framtida tvister från allmän domstols behörighet och skapa behörighet för en skiljenämnd. Problem kan dock uppstå när en domstol eller skiljenämnd tvingas pröva och avgöra skiljeklausulens (nedan skiljeavtalets) verkningar och omfattning. För att avgöra om ett skiljeavtal omfattar en viss tvist kan en domstol eller skBy including an arbitration clause into a contract, two parties may exclude court jurisdiction as well as provide jurisdiction for an arbitration committee to resolve future disputes regarding the main contract. Problems may arise when an arbitration committee, or a court, have to decide the meaning and the scope of the arbitration clause (arbitration agreement below). Establishing jurisdiction by

The use of fusion proteins has become prevalent within biotechnical applications, offering a method of supplementing a protein with physical or chemical properties inherent to multiple full size proteins or peptides. The thesis work presented in this report was designed to attempt such a fusion, between a recombinant human amelogenin and a fungal cellulose binding domain peptide. The extracellular

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera utvecklingen av användandet av elektroniska business-to-business auktioner, utifrån ett kundperspektiv i fordonsbranschen. Metod: Denna uppsats präglas av den kvalitativa metoden, för att därigenom ge en ökad förståelse kring utvecklingen av användandet av e-auktioner. Inledningsvis har en litteraturstudie genomförts, varpå intervjuer med representa

The human race has for a long time contributed to an increase of the environmental problems, however in recent times they have begun to deploy measures to counter this. One of these measures is environmental classification systems, which is used in the construction- and property sector. Environmental classification systems are methods which evaluate a building's environmental performance in or

Over the last 30 years scientists have studied the morphological and mineralogical proofs of past aqueous activity on Mars. NASA’s latest flagship mission, the Mars 2020 mission with its Perseverance rover, landed in Jezero crater in 2021. Perseverance is tasked with investigating the wet history that has partially formed today’s Mars, and more specifically, find specific indicators for potential

Efter att den svenska riksdagen beslutade att återuppta totalförsvarsplaneringen år 2015 har vi erfarit en världsomspännande pandemi, krig i Sveriges närområde samtidigt som en stundande klimatkris blir alltmer akut. Dessa faktorer har gjort civilförsvarsförmågan och den svenska befolkningens hemberedskap till en aktuell fråga. Hur väl förberedda är vi egentligen ifall samhällets service slutaSince the Swedish parliament decided to resume the total defense planning in 2015, we have experienced a worldwide pandemic, war in the vicinity of Sweden, and an impending climate crisis becoming increasingly urgent. These factors have put civil defense capabilities and the Swedish population´s home preparedness high on the political agenda. How well-prepared are we really if societal service

Title: ESG procurement analysis - identification and prioritization of improvement opportunities Author: Tabea Sonnleitner Supervisor: Louise Bildsten, Division of Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University. Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to investigate the ESG requirements of the case company, Company A, in order to create a prioritized improvement plan for the global p

Following the UNHCR:s launch of the #IBelong Campaign to End Statelessness by 2024 in November 2014, a Global Action Plan to End Statelessness: 2014 – 2024 was adopted urging states to undertake ten actions to end statelessness, including to facilitate the naturalization of stateless migrants. While the facilitated naturalization of stateless persons would certainly reduce the occurrence of statel

Gängkriminaliteten i Sverige är idag ett omdiskuterat ämne. Trots detta finns det en sida av myntet som förbises och lämnas i det dolda, nämligen de våldsbejakande kvinnorna. Historiskt sett har kvinnor som kommer i kontakt med rättsväsendet setts som offer till mäns våld, och så även i dagens samhälle. Det talas om ”den rosa lagboken” och att kvinnor särbehandlas av rättsväsendets aktörer i stridGang crime in Sweden is a debated topic today. Despite this, there is one side of the coin that is overlooked and left in the dark, namely the women who condone violence. Historically, women who come into contact with the justice system have been seen as victims of men’s violence, and so also in today’s society. There is talk of “the pink law book” and women being treated differently by actors in
