Various factors influencing affinity partitioning in aqueous polymer two-phase systems are studied by model calculations using a self-consistent mean-field lattice theory. The latter is an extension of the theory of Scheutjens and Fleer, adapted to take affinity ligand binding into account. The dependence of partition coefficients on ligand concentration is studied for different binding strengths,

Travel guidebooks are both travel information channels and objects of consumption. In contemporary tourism, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) make information abundant and mostly free of charge. Therefore, as tourists still buy them, there must be something that makes guidebooks a valuable object. This research aims at understanding the value of travel guidebooks in the digital age.

Tillämpning av skatteflyktslagen leder till att en annars civilrättsligt giltig rättshandling lämnas utan hänsyn vid fastställande av underlaget för beskattning. Lagen är alltså relativt ingripande mot den enskilda skattskyldiga som företagit rättshandlingen eller rättshandlingarna. Tillämpningen är beroende av rekvisiten i 2 § skatteflyktslagen, den så kallade, generalklausulen. Den innehåller fyThe legal consequence of the application of the tax evasion law is that an otherwise civil legal transaction is left without consideration when assessing the base for taxation. The law is an infringement upon the taxpayer that has performed the legal transactions. The application of the tax evasion law is dependent on the prerequisites from the 2 § of the law, the so called general clause. The cla

Syftet med denna uppsats är att ur ett europeiskt perspektiv analysera Högsta domstolens position angående prövning av skiljedomar med konkurrensrättsliga frågeställningar. Skiljeförfarandet spelar en nyckelroll inom internationellt näringsliv mycket genom sin förmåga att på ett skyndsamt sätt framställa en slutgiltig, bindande och internationellt verkställbar skiljedom. Genom sitt domslut i Eco The aim of this thesis is to analyse from a European perspective the position of the Swedish Supreme Court on the review of arbitral awards regarding issues of competition law. Arbitration plays a crucial role in the field of international commerce largely due to its ability to expediently present to the parties a final, binding and internationally enforceable award. In the Eco Swiss judgement,

När vi läser den aktuella kursplanen för musik i grundskolan och gymnasiet och tittar på utbildningsutbudet inom folkhögskola och eftergymnasiala musikutbildningar i Sverige kan vi se ett ökat intresse för musikskapande från utbildningsväsendet. Med utgångspunkt i Bennetts (2012b) resonemang från artikeln You can’t teach songwriting…! där han skriver: “if songwriting can’t be taught, it can certaiWhen reading course plans for music classes or looking into the available music courses in the Swedish school systems’ pre higher and higher educations (gymnasium, folkhögskola and post gymnasium), the increased interest in creating music is shining through. Using Bennett’s (2012b) argument “if songwriting can’t be taught, it can certainly be learned” (Bennett, 2012b, s. 34) from the article You c

This thesis was conducted at Enics manufacturing unit in Västerås. This site employs 360 people out of a total of 2400 globally. The site produces electronics and is specialised toward low volumes and spare parts. The site has problems with high inventory levels, long lead times and less than preferred service level towards customers. This is the reason for the project which will investigate if it

Despite the increased focus on sustainable urban development both within academia and in urban planning practices, authors seem to agree that we are mostly continuing business as usual and are not embarking on different socio-environmental trajectories. On the contrary, such urban sustainability practices can often lead to processes of displacement and gentrification, thus worsening the conditions

Julia Arvidson Hållbarhetsredovisning – Ett verktyg för förbättrat hållbarhetsarbete? Hållbarhetsredovisning har på kort tid vuxit fram som en självklar komponent i ett sunt och hållbart företagande. Nya EU-direktiv ställer krav på fler företag att redovisa för sin verksamhets ekonomiska, miljömässiga och sociala påverkan. Då antalet redovisande företag kommer att öka både i Sverige och i EuropSustainability reporting has emerged as a common practice of 21st-century business. A sustainability report is a report published by an organization that presents the economic, environmental and social impacts caused by its activities. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a non-profit organization with the mission to promote the transition to a sustainable global economy by providing a framewo

Virusinfektioner har utan tvekan blivit det största hälsoproblemet i världen. I skrivande stund når antalet COVID-19 infektioner i världen upp emot 151 800 000 vilket gör att behovet av vacciner och antivirala läkemedel är viktigare nu än någonsin tidigare. Influensa A är ytligare ett virus som orsakar överdödlighet, trotts att många klarar sig lindrigt vid infektion. För att kunna förhindra ellerWith viral infections becoming an ever-increasing health problem in the world, the study of viral proteins is a cornerstone for understanding and preventing future pandemics. The following work shows the purification and structural characterization of the Influenza A M2 proton channel through solid-state NMR (ssNMR). Despite previously published structures of the M2 proton channel, the method of p

I nuläget har vi levt med covid-19-pandemin och dess medföljande restriktioner, rekommendationer och budskap i över ett år. De konstant återupprepade budskapen kring ämnet har resulterat i att människor tröttnat på att följa restriktioner och uppmärksamma informationen, vilket WHO beskriver som pandemic fatigue. Samtidigt har denna trötthet, som kan leda till att människor väljer att ignorera elleAs of now, we have lived with the Covid-19 pandemic and its accompanying restrictions, recommendations and messages for over a year. The constantly repeated messages about the same topic has resulted in people tiring of following restrictions and paying attention, which is what the WHO describes as pandemic fatigue. Meanwhile, fatigue such as this, which could lead to people choosing to ignore or

Abstract Background: Despite the large availability of 3T MR scanners and the potential of high field imaging, this technical platform has yet to prove its usefulness in the cardiac MR setting, where 1.5T remains the established standard. Global perfusion of the left ventricle, as well as the coronary flow reserve (CFR), can provide relevant diagnostic information, and MR measurements of these par

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) research was initiated by Poyner et al.,(1) who found that the calcitonin gene encodes the 37-amino acid neuropeptide CGRP in neuronal tissue. Within months, the Lund group produced antibodies toward α-CGRP and developed sensitive methods to study the role of this peptide in the cranial circulation. Intracranial vessels and the trigeminal ganglion harbor this

Virtual meetings and virtual collaboration technologies are applications where ICT could potentially be used to green business activities. There are, however, uncertainties and disagreements about the organisational effects of increased use of these technologies, which makes it difficult to measure and follow up on outcomes. This thesis explores the potential effects that virtual meetings and vir

Extremely thinned layers and possible folding make the dating of the deepest sections of ice cores especially challenging. Cosmogenic radionuclides have the potential to provide independent age estimates. The 36Cl/10Be ratio is largely independent of production rate changes that affect individual radionuclides and has an effective half-life of 384 kyr, making it an ideal tool for dating the new 1.

Planet host stars with well-constrained ages provide a rare window to the time domain of planet formation and evolution. The NASA K2 mission has enabled the discovery of the vast majority of known planets transiting stars in clusters, providing a valuable sample of planets with known ages and radii. We present the discovery of two planets transiting K2-264, an M2 dwarf in the intermediate age (600
