It seems like it can never be said enough times: in order to uphold the objectives of the Internal Market, an equal treatment of resident and non-resident taxpayers have to be granted by the Member States. As for the intricate field of direct taxation, it is still somewhat unclear exactly how this equal treatment looks. Consequently, it is also unclear how far the Member States can stretch the ben

Financial services and cross-border financial activities have developed considerably due to the globalisation of the economy. The utilisation of these new opportunities has, however, attracted financial activities that relates to money laundering. Money laundering is a way to separate and conceal the proceeds of crime in order to reinvest or simply use it in the open economy, without drawing the a

When installing new research equipment at the synchrotron research laboratory MAX IV, a final positional accuracy of tens of microns is usually needed. To obtain that accuracy, initial reference points must be placed within 2 mm from the nominal target points in CAD, in a process referred to as bluelining. It is currently a manual process where points from a virtual environment are transferred to

Kan hemoglobin från växter lösa humana problem? Dagligen tar vi för givet att vårt blod syresätts tillräckligt för att orka med alla sysslor. Detta möjliggörs av det livsviktiga proteinet hemoglobin som finns i vårt blod. I dagens samhälle råder det dock blodbrist samtidigt som många drabbas av järnbrist. Det är där forskningen på växthemoglobin kommer in i bilden. Experimenten som genomförts i dThe protein hemoglobin (Hb) is vital for us humans to ensure enough oxygen replacement in the body. Hb-resembling proteins also exist in plants, these are called phytoglobins (Pgbs). Pgbs are very interesting since they can play a considerable role in the development of blood substitutes and iron supplements for human use. A few years ago, genes that code for Pgb in sugar beet were found and ident

Popular Abstract in Swedish Till processindustrin räknar man bland annat fabriker som tillverkar papper, plast och livsmedel. I en enda fabrik kan det finnas tusentals PID-regulatorer som har till uppgift att styra storheter som tryck, flöden och temperaturer till önskade värden. PID-regulatorns roll i processindustrin har därför jämförts med den arbetsmyran har i myrstacken. Huruvida en enskild mA large process industry can have somewhere between five hundred and five thousand control loops, and PID controllers are used in 90–97% of the cases. It is well-known that only 20–30% of the controllers in the process industry are tuned satisfactorily, but with the methods available today it is considered too time-consuming to optimize each single controller. This thesis presents tools for analys

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akrylatallergi Plastmaterial består av stora molekyler som kallas polymerer samt tillsatsämnen som tillsätts för att modifiera materialets egenskaper. Polymerer bildas när det sker en stegvis reaktion mellan monomerer så att större molekyler bildas. Allergiframkallande ämnen i plastsystem kan vara monomererna, härdarna, modifierarna eller andra tillsatsämnen. Akrylater

Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical event in cancer progression and is closely linked to the breast epithelial cancer stem cell phenotype. Given the close interaction between the vascular endothelium and cancer cells, especially at the invasive front, we asked whether endothelial cells might play a role in EMT. Using a 3D culture model we demonstrate that endothelial cells are
