Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a research tool, used more and more in clinical practice, as it provides objective information with respect to the tissues being imaged. Pixel-wise T1 quantification (T1 mapping) of the myocardium is one such application with diagnostic significance. A number of mapping sequences have been developed for myocardial T1 mapping with a wide range in ter
Background: Rare and ultra-rare diseases (URDs) are often chronic and life-threatening conditions that have a profound impact on sufferers and their families, but many are notoriously difficult to detect. Niemann-Pick disease type C (NP-C) serves to illustrate the challenges, benefits and pitfalls associated with screening for ultra-rare inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs). A comprehensive, non-sys
Water damages have been an expensive problem for Swedish house owners for many decades and costs society billions of Swedish kronor every year. In an attempt to reduce the number of water damages, and the severe consequences there off, a project called VASKA was launched in Umeå in 1987. In the neighbourhood of Ersmark there were 24 houses built, all following the list of requirements set by VASKA
Den 30 oktober 2014 erkände Sverige staten Palestina. Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka om det svenska erkännandet av Palestina har stöd i folkrätten eller om erkännandet rentav utgör en folkrättsligt otillåten handling. Med utgångspunkt i de argument, för och emot riktigheten i erkännandet, som framförts från olika debattörer analyseras rättsläget för att avgöra vilka argument som har bäriOn the 30th of October 2014 Sweden recognised the state of Palestine. The aim of this essay is to examine whether this recognition is supported in public international law or if it, on the contrary, constitutes an internationally wrongful act. Based on arguments presented in the media for and against the recognition, the legal position will be analysed in order to determine if any of these argumen
Visibility in smoke has since the 1970s gained some attention, mostly after Tadahisa Jin ran the experiments which helped him develop todays widely used visibility equation. By showing that visibility can be assumed to be inversely proportional to the extinction coefficient by a visibility constant (equal to 8 for light emitting sign and 3 for light reflecting), Jin opened up new doors for researc
Over-frequency has become an increasingly relevant issue in the Nordic synchronous power system, mainly because of the increased number of HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) links connecting it to neighboring synchronous systems. The aim of this thesis is to research the impact that over-frequency events, caused by faults in HVDC links, have on the Nordic power system and especially what frequenci
Multinationella företag kan använda sig av en holdingbolagsstruktur för att vinstförskjutning ska ske mellan koncernbolag i syfte att minska skattebelastningen. I den svenska kupongskattelagen finns ett undantag från källskatt på utdelningar till utländska bolag, som bedöms motsvara ett svenskt aktiebolag, från deras näringsbetingade andelar. För att förhindra kringgående av kupongskatt finns dockMultinational enterprises can use holding structures to shift profits between group companies, in order to reduce their tax burden. Dividends paid to a foreign company, equivalent to a Swedish limited liability company, from its Swedish subsidiaries are generally exempt from withholding taxes in Sweden. In order to prevent circumvention of withholding tax, the Swedish withholding tax legislation p
På senare år har den regionala utvecklingen i Skåne präglats av infrastruktursatsningar. I synnerhet kan infrastruktursatsningarna ses på kollektivtrafiken, vilken är tänkt att bidra till den hållbara utvecklingen i regionen. Utöver detta satsar den svenska staten även på att skapa möjligheter för att etablera höghastighetståg mellan Stockholm och Göteborg respektive Malmö. Dessa satsningar har sk
Konceptet ekonomiskt värde är vare sig väl utforskat eller konsekvent tillämpat inom det skatterättsliga området. Olika skattesystem bedömer värde utifrån sina egna perspektiv och intressen vilket skapar situationer där olika skattemässiga värden bestäms för samma transaktion. Ansträngningar har gjorts för att harmonisera värderingar mellan tull och internprissättning. Dessa har dock stött på motsThe concept of economic value is not well explored nor consistently applied in the field of taxation. Different systems of taxation assess value from their own perspectives and with their own interests in mind resulting in situations where different values for taxation are determined for the same transaction. Efforts have been made to harmonise valuations between customs and transfer pricing. This
This thesis addresses different aspects of the legal perspective on the patentability, valuation, and scope of biotech patents in the European Union and the United States when mergers & acquisitions transactions are in question. To facilitate mergers & acquisition of a biotechnology company a specific regulatory environment must be established, particularly what effects the most such trans
Bakgrund: Elektroniktillverkaren The Company implementerade för 4-5 år sedan en ABC-klassificeringsmodell för klassificering av de komponenter som de köper in. Nu vill företaget utmana den nuvarande modellen och utvärdera om de använder korrekta parametrar för klassificering, för att undersöka om det finns möjlighet till förbättring. Därför efterfrågar The Company en ny modell som baseras på den tBackground: The electronic manufacturing company The Company implemented a new model for ABC classification of supplied components about 4-5 years ago. Today, they want to challenge this model and evaluate if they have been using the correct parameters, or if improvement can be made. They wish for a new model that is based on the theory in field, to make a comparison with the existing model. The p
Om domstolsprövning inte sker inom 96 timmar så följs inte lagen, vilket innebär att den ansvarige beslutsfattaren agerat felaktigt. Men kan överskridandet av tidsfristerna innebära ett hinder mot fortsatt frihetsberövande? Denna fråga prövade Högsta domstolen (HD) i NJA 2017 s. 842 där häktningsförhandlingen hållits senare än fyra dygn efter gripandet, i strid mot 24 kap. 13 § st. 2 rättegångsbal
Denna uppsats har undersökt förhållandet mellan tredjestatskontraåtgärder (på engelska third-party countermeasures) enligt statsansvarsreglerna och FN:s säkerhetsråds mandat att vidta åtgärder mot enskilda stater enligt kapitel VII i FN-stadgan. Tredjestatskontraåtgärder innebär att en stat utan att vara skadad av folkrättsbrottet ifråga vidtar kontraåtgärder mot en annan stat som brutit mot förplThis thesis has examined the relationship between third-party countermeasures under the law of state responsibility and UN Security Council enforcement measures under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. Third-party countermeasures are a concept that refers to the use of countermeasures by a state other than the injured state in response to breaches of obligations erga omnes or erga omnes partes, provid
The concept of OptimalTempered Asphalt, OTA, stands for the best temperature all aspects considered for the bitumen and the manufacturing process as well as the end-product. This is achieved in various ways using additives, choice of manufacturing procedure and changing mixture of asphalt. This bachelor thesis is a study of the effects the additive Sasobit has on bitumen and asphalt from an OTA pe
This study aims to identify barriers to small wind energy in Argentina, and provide recommendations for Argentine stakeholders and policymakers for promoting the development of small wind. Argentina faces a serious energy challenge with its high dependence on fossil fuels (especially natural gas) in the face of rising global prices and decreasing reserves, challenges in domestic production and exp
