The chapter provides a historic overview of the research in physics and chemistry for the development of radionuclides, radiopharmaceuticals, and instrumentation which have had a major impact for the today’s status of nuclear medicine. During the first half of the 20th century in particular, a number of researchers with relevance to the development of nuclear medicine have been awarded the Nobel P

Health system resilience, known as the ability for health systems to absorb, adapt or transform to maintain essential functions when stressed or shocked, has quickly gained popularity following shocks like COVID-19. The concept is relatively new in health policy and systems research and the existing research remains mostly theoretical. Research to date has viewed resilience as an outcome that can

In Kenya, the commercialization of smallholder agriculture has become an inte¬gral part of the national strategy to address the problems of economic and food poverty. Despite extensive governmental efforts to promote the transition of smallhold¬ers from subsistence-based to commercially-oriented livelihoods, a broad based transformation of the sector has not yet materialized. The thesis is based o

Insurance contracts with guarantees have been issued by insurance companies for a long time. For example, in the 1970s and the 1980s, when the interest rate in the UK was as high as 15-20%, these contracts were issued with guaranteed rates of as high as 10%, thinking the interest rate levels would stay around the same. However, the interest rate decreased and, as of today, interest rate levels are

This study investigates changes in the composition of vascular plants on a steep hill with rich grassland flora, situated within a large horse-grazed pasture, in southwestern Scania, Sweden. Abundance data for 149 plant species, collected within 220 square-meter plots in both 1982 and 2014, were related to a set of species indicator values (mostly Ellenberg values) as well as plot-specific data on

Mellan näringsidkare råder i regel möjlighet att välja de affärsmetoder och villkor som passar det specifika affärsförhållandet. Däremot finns det förfaranden som definieras som otillbörliga. Sådana affärsmetoder har enligt Europeiska kommissionen negativ effekt, i synnerhet gentemot små- och medelstora företag (SME:s). Det finns inte någon övergripande EU-lagstiftning som reglerar otillbörliga afIn general traders are able to choose trading practices and conditions that will suit their business relationships. However there are producers that are defined as unfair trading practices. Such practices may cause negative effects, in particular concerning small- and medium sized enterprises (SME:s). There is no existing EU-legislation that regulates unfair trading practices between manufacturers

Under 2016 antogs företaghemlighetsdirektivet i EU, för att harmonisera skyddet för företagshemligheter inom unionen. Den här uppsatsen behandlar företagshemlighetsdirektivet och de förändringar som dess implementering medför för svensk rätt, i synnerhet direktivets bestämmelser om ”intrångsgörande varor”. Den svenska lagen (1990:409) om skydd för företagshemligheter (FHL) är en konkurrensrättslDuring 2016 the EU adopted the Trade Secrets Directive, in order to harmonize the protection of trade secrets within the union. This essay examines the Trade Secrets Directive and the changes its implementation entails for the Swedish legal system, in particular the directive’s regulations regarding “infringing goods”. The Swedish law for the protection of trade secrets (“lagen (1990:409) om sky

Asset prices have had larger and more rapid increases since 1980 when compared to the post-war period, especially compared to the Bretton Woods period. In this thesis we test whether the excess elasticity view provides a plausible explanation for this change. The excess elasticity view, put forth by Borio and Disyatat (2011) and Borio and White (2003), argues that the financial system has become m

The goal of this master’s thesis was to investigate if the possibilities for Swedish companies to protect their innovations have decreased due to a shift towards more software and business method-based innovations. The investigation was based on interviews with respondents working as IPR consultants, with technical development or as patent attorneys at different Swedish companies together with col

Coworking is a global phenomenon that is currently changing the daily work-life for knowledge workers. Instead of sitting in their old traditional offices, sitting at home or in the cafes, they are starting to see the upsides of coworking. The concept came to Sweden and the city of Gothenburg in the start of the century, and during recent years the total volume of coworking-spaces has grown rapidl

Våldtäkter som ett krigsvapen i väpnade konflikter utgör en av historiens stora tystnader. Det var först under 1990-talet, genom de internationella krigsförbrytartribunalerna i forna Jugoslavien (ICTY) och Rwanda (ICTR), som det internationella samfundet uttryckligen erkände våldtäkt som brott mot mänskligheten. Den Internationella brottmålsdomstolen, ICC, grundades den 1 juli 2002. Det var dockRape as a weapon of war in armed conflicts is one of the history’s great silences. It was not until the 1990’s, through the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Rwanda (ICTR), that the international community explicitly recognized rape as a crime against humanity. The International Criminal Court, ICC, was established on 1 July 2002. However, it was not until 201

To create a society with sustainable development the use of our planets finite resources has to change, this is no less true for us in infrastructure. Every year thousands of tonnes of asphalt paving is ground up and most of it is not reused. The knowledge regarding the recycling of asphalt has gone forward recent years and today there is a couple of different dopes that claim to be able to reduce

This thesis aims to examine whether archive pedagogy is a useful learning resource in school today, and if so, how this cooperation works in reality. We want to find out how the archive's educational resources are perceived by teachers and students, and where the possible obstacles may lay. By examining how teachers and students perceive the archive education, our study can contribute to bette

Foreign direct investments (FDI) have in later years become regarded as a key engine to economic growth, which many developing countries find appealing. Developing countries do however often find it hard to attract FDI since they have an unstable political environment due to inferior levels of democracy. To overcome this issue, they turn to bilateral investment treaties (BITs) with the hope that t
