Vi har gått från att vara ett industrisamhälle som är beroende av maskiner och fysiskt arbete till en tid då individens kunskap är en viktig konkurrensfaktor som driver många företag framåt. I samband med denna utveckling har även behovet av att skydda den här sortens värdefulla tillgångar blivit större. Uppsatsen har som syfte att utreda och redogöra för arbetsgivarens tystnadsplikt gällande föreWe have gone from been an industrial society that depends on machines and physical labour, to a time when the knowledge and skills of an individual is an important competitive factor of making a company successful. As a result of this progress the need of protecting these valuable assets have become more important. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and present the professional secrecy co

How does knowledge among retailers in Hässleholm municipality, meet the legal obligations for labeling, approved substances, storage and child-resistant packaging for the sale of pesticides to the consumer? The study is limited to Hässleholm municipality and is a supervisory project on behalf of the Environment Office. A selection of 9 different traders’ products of pesticides, have been investiga

Kina har de senaste åren uppfört artificiella öar i ett område i det Sydkinesiska havet där flera stater hävdar suveräna anspråk. Öarna har utrustats med bland annat landningsbanor, stridsplanshangarer, kommunikationsanläggningar, hangarer för krigsskepp, vissa fasta vapen och annan militär utrustning. Den fråga som ska utredas genom uppsatsen är huruvida Kinas militariserande utgör ett hot om vål

Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda det faktiska omfånget av BrB 6 kap. 10 § andra stycket vilket föreskriver straffansvar för sexuellt ofredande. Den som genom ord eller handling ofredar annan på ett sätt som kan anses ägnat att kränka den utsattes sexuella integritet träffas av bestämmelsen. Brottet sexuellt ofredande är subsidiärt till övriga sexualbrott och väcker många gränsdragningsfrågorThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate the scope of the 6th chapter, 10th paragraph of the Swedish Penal Code, which prescribes criminal liability for sexual abuse. Anyone who through word or deed abuses another person in a way that can be considered to be violating of the sexual integrity of the victim is performing a criminalized act. The offense of sexual abuse is subsidiary to other sexu

Ökad globalisering leder till att företag verkar och agerar i flera länder och under flera olika jurisdiktioner. Vissa är ibland verksamma i post-konfliktområden eller i industrier som orsakar negativa miljökonsekvenser. Produktionen i multinationella företag organiseras ofta i långa leverantörskedjor. Dessa komplexa leverantörskedjor och komplicerade företagsstrukturer kan försvåra processen att Due to globalisation, many companies, inevitably operate in several countries across multiple jurisdictions. Some are at times operating in post-conflict areas or in industries causing environmental harm. The production of multinational enterprises is often organised in long supply chains. These complex supply chains and complicated corporate structures could aggravate the process of attributing r

This dissertation aims to investigate the Swedish private sector, with focus on the share of women in leading positions, and its effect on firms’ financial stability in terms of stock return volatility. This thesis is based on AllBright’s three lists from 2018 which rank Swedish listed firms after their level of gender equality within the companies’ top management. With respect to the six-sigma th

Migraine is a neurovascular disorder characterized by recurrent unilateral headaches accompanied by nausea, vomiting, photophobia and phonophobia. Current theories suggest that the initiation of a migraine attack involves a primary event in the central nervous system (CNS), probably involving a combination of genetic changes in ion channels and environmental changes, which renders the individual m

Dyskinesias represent a major complication of dopamine replacement therapy in Parkinson's disease (PD) and have prompted a search for alternative treatments. The most radical advances in this field have been provided by surgical manipulations of the deep basal ganglia nuclei, and particularly by deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Although being very effective, high-freq

Post-translational modification of different proteins via direct ubiquitin attachment is vital for mediating various cellular processes. CYLD, a deubiquitination enzyme, is able to cleave the polyubiquitin chains from the substrate, and to regulate different signaling pathways. Loss, or reduced expression, of CYLD is observed in different types of human cancer, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HC

Species of Eunicida (polychaetous annelids) have complex jaw apparatuses with ventral mandibles growing throughout life, but dorsal maxillae undergoing successive moulting episodes. Jaw ontogeny was studied in the eunicid Marphysa fauchaldi, from the appearance of the mandibles and larval maxillae through two moults during the transformation to juvenile and sub-adult maxillae. Although larval maxi

The previously established graptolite and chitinozoan Hirnanian-Telychian biostratigraphy in the unique Osmundsberget North outcrop in the Siljan region, south-central Sweden, is integrated with new conodont biostratigraphy and C-13(org), C-13(carb) and S-34(pyr) chemostratigraphy. At this locality, the middle Hirnantian (latest Ordovician) topmost part of the Boda Limestone is overlain by the lat

Mouse CD8 alpha(+) dendritic cells (DCs) in lymphoid organs and CD103(+) CD11b(-) DCs in nonlymphoid tissues share phenotypic and functional similarities, as well as a unique shared developmental dependence on the transcription factor Batf3. Human DCs resembling mouse CD8 alpha(+) DCs in phenotype and function have been identified in human blood, spleen, and tonsil. However, it is not clear whethe

Whether chromosome abnormalities observed in tumor cells may in some cases reflect low-grade somatic mosaicism for anomalies present already at zygote formation, rather than acquired somatic mutations, has for long remained a speculation. We here report a patient with Wilms tumor, where constitutional somatic mosaicism of trisomy 8 was detected in a previously healthy 2 ½-year-old boy. Single Nucl

Hovering means stationary flight at zero net forward speed, which can be achieved by animals through muscle powered flapping flight. Small bats capable of hovering typically do so with a downstroke in an inclined stroke plane, and with an aerodynamically active outer wing during the upstroke. The magnitude and time history of aerodynamic forces should be reflected by vorticity shed into the wake.

Aromatic ring flips of Phe and Tyr residues are a hallmark of protein dynamics with a long history in molecular biophysics. Ring flips lead to symmetric exchange of nuclei between sites with distinct magnetic environments, which can be probed by NMR spectroscopy. Current knowledge of ring-flip rates originates from rare cases in which the chemical shift difference between the two sites is sufficie

Some systems approaches tend to conceptualize social systems as collective entities, in which emergent properties of the whole can render individuals within a social system invisible. As critical systemic thinkers, however, we choose to see a social system as an emergent property of the interactions between unique individuals whose social relations are of interest. Thus, within the field of critic

The main function of CAs (carbonic anhydrases) is to participate in the regulation of acid-base balance. Although 12 active isoenzymes of this family had already been described, analyses of genomic databases suggested that there still exists another isoenzyme, CA XV. Sequence analyses were performed to identify those species that are likely to have an active form of this enzyme. Eight species had
