In the following paper Creative Europe 2014-2020 becomes subject of study as a tool of soft power by using Thematic Analysis as the method to analyse three fundamental documents: the Regulation on Establishing Creative Europe, the Creative Europe Sub-programme 2014-2020 Guidelines and the Creative Europe 2014-2020 Mid-term Evaluation. The goal is studying how the program can help the development o

A vast majority of rural dwellings in Ukraine are inefficient from an energy perspective, with a major need for energy-efficient renovations. A lot of these buildings are also having problems with the indoor climate, with poor ventilation combined with indoor combustion of fuel which can cause negative health effects. A large part of Ukrainian households is also suffering from energy poverty which

Människor följer ofta en liknande process när de söker sig till professionell vård. Upplevelser av vilka skäl de har för att söka rent faktiskt och vägen fram till att de tar beslutet att söka behövs det dock ytterligare forskning om. Därför är det viktigt att undersöka detta för att utröna människors upplevelse av vilka skäl och funderingar de har fram mot att beslutet att söka vård fattas. DettaPeople generally follow a similar process when seeking professional care. Experience of what reasons they have for actually seeking help and their considerations during the process before they make the decision to seek help is, however, insufficiently researched. Hence, it is important to study this in order to find out people's experience of what reasons and considerations they have during th

Torrlagda våtmarker släpper ut mer växthusgaser än alla personbilar i Kristianstad kommun. Mer än 70 procent av utsläppen kan undvikas genom att marken läggs under vatten igen. Det visar resultaten från denna studie som har kartlagt dränerade våtmarker i kommunen. Men det finns tydliga intressekonflikter då merparten av utsläppen kommer från jordbruksmark. På nationell nivå är det likadant: uEmissions from drained organic soils is a big contributor to global warming and corresponds to 5% of global and 25% of Sweden’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study uses a GIS-analysis to map the organic soils in Kristianstad municipality in Sweden and what land use occurs on these soils. The purpose of the study is to provide the municipality with information when investigating the possibi

Patentlicensavtal utgör ett effektivt verktyg för exploatering av patentskyddad innovation. Avtalen anses därför i allmänhet vara konkurrensfrämjande. Emellertid kan patentlicenser innehålla avtalsklausuler som kan vara problematiska ur ett konkurrensperspektiv. Icke-angreppsklausuler, som hindrar licenstagaren från att utmana den immateriella giltigheten i det licensierade patentet, utgör en sådaPatent licensing is considered an effective tool for the exploitation of technology protected by the IPR. Thus, in general, licensing is pro-competitive. However, there are cases when licensing agreements contain clauses that can be problematic in relation to EU competition law. The no-challenge clause, which obligates the licensee not to contest the validity of the intellectual property of the li

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, increasing yearly. However, many abnormalities in heart cycles can be discovered and treated years before the onset of diseases.

Skogsbruket utgör en ekonomisk tillgång för enskilda skogsägare. Samtidigt spelar skogen en central roll för bevarandet av den biologiska mångfalden, då den fungerar som livsmiljö för många skyddsvärda arter. Artskyddsförordningen (2007:845) innehåller bestämmelser om fridlysning av vissa djur- och växtarter. Fridlysningsbestämmelserna kan inverka på skogsägarens frihet att bruka skogen genom att Forestry serves as a valuable economic resource for individual forest owners. Simultaneously, forests play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity by providing habitats for protected species. The Swedish Species Protection Ordinance (2007:845) contains provisions aimed at safeguarding these species, which can restrict forest owners' freedom to use their properties through prohibiting logging

Using music as a tool for teaching a foreign language has been shown to positively affect the language learning process (Balčytytė-Kurtinienė, 2018; Cañete García et al., 2022; Heidari- Shahreza & Moinzadeh, 2012), and this essay suggests that authentic English songs can be used in the teaching of EFL in lower-secondary school in Sweden to efficiently meet many aspects of the syllabus. Therefo

In the traditional model of international law, to which however reality has never exactly corresponded, situations of armed violence fall into clearly defined categories which in their turn appertained to a certain set of rules of international law applicable. For armed conflicts between sovereign states ('war'), international humanitarian law provides a full body of rules. On the other ha

In this essay the notion of targeted killings is reviewed through arguments about law and philosophy based on two different newspaper articles written by Daniel Byman and Richard A. Wiley.

1. Rat chylomicrons were labelled with 125I with 69--72% of the iodine in the protein moiety. Less than 1 nmol of iodine was incorporated per nmol of protein. Of the peptide radioactivity 44--56% was in apolipoprotein A-1, 30--40% in the C peptides and 11--15% in apolipoprotine B. The arginine-rich peptide, which accounted for about 14% of the chylomicron protein mass as determined by scanning of

Aims/hypothesis: Gene–macronutrient interactions may contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes but research evidence to date is inconclusive. We aimed to increase our understanding of the aetiology of type 2 diabetes by investigating potential interactions between genes and macronutrient intake and their association with the incidence of type 2 diabetes.
