Sulfur-containing compounds are used as rescue agents to protect normal tissue from the toxic side effects of cis-[PtCl2(NH3)(2)] (cisplatin) without affecting its anti-tumour activity. Reactions of the model complexes [Pt(dien)Cl](+) (1) and [Pt(dien)(GSMe)](2+) (2) (GSMe = S-methylglutathione) with the rescue agents glutathione (GSH), thiourea, thiosulfate, and diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) have

Introduction The hotel check-in is usually treated as a facilitating service as it is often assumed only to facilitate the use of the core service i.e. the lodging. In addition the check-in is a highly standardized process, which is repeatedly performed every day. Being only one part of the front office’s duties executed at the reception desk, it is usually given scant attention from management. L

Forestry is of major economical importance in Europe, and recent devastating windstorms have pinpointed the vulnerability of this economic sector to windstorms. Forest damage is an important economic issue at a country level and may become even of larger concern under future conditions following global warming. An underlying question is to what extent the storm damage is due to changes in the wind

Aim: Several studies have addressed the association between changes in the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone levels and changes in parameters of periodontitis. In order to understand how these hormones affect periodontal health it is of major importance to obtain information on their physiological importance. We have previously shown that periodontal ligament cells (PDL cells) express

Syftet med uppsatsen är att genom en rättsdogmatisk metod och ett kritiskt perspektiv granska hur underlåtenhet påverkar bedömningen av straffvärdet i en domstols straffmätning och undersöka om underlåtenhet verkligen ska ses som en förmildrande omständighet. Uppsatsen behandlar själva utformningen av principerna kring underlåtenhetsbrott enligt Jareborgs garantlära i svensk rätt idag och en utredThe purpose of this essay is to use a legal dogmatic method, and with a critical perspective, analyse how the fact that a crime is one of omission, thus caused by a failure to act, affects the Court's judgement on a suitable sentence. Is the fact that a crime is an omission automatically a mitigating factor that leads to a lesser sentence? This essay treats the general legal principles and the

The archivist Martin Grass defines personal archives as that they do not have to adapt to guidelines when it comes to the culling or preservation of the material, the submitting of the material to an archive is not done directly after the material is created or collected and that they often concern broader subjects. In this thesis I study the creator of the personal archives and the driving forces

Brott, bedrägerier och andra oegentligheter, vilka riktar sig mot EU:s eko-nomiska intressen skadar allvarligt EU:s budget varje år. För att garantera ett bättre skydd för EU:s finanser framlade kommissionen i juli 2013 För-slag till Rådets förordning om inrättande av Europeiska åklagarmyndighe-ten . Myndigheten ska ha en exklusiv kompetens att utreda brott mot EU:s ekonomiska intressen över hela Fraud and other offences, aimed towards the financial interestets of the union, are seriously harming the union’s budget every year. To guarantee a better protection of the unions finances, the Commission put forward Pro-posal for a Council Regulation on the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office . The Office will have an exclusive competence to in-vestigate and prosecute crimina

Egyptology in the 19th and early 20th centuries developed simultaneously with increased imperial presence in Egypt by the European imperial powers, which would have influence on how the discipline was practised. The history of Egyptology has for this reason primarily focused on the big four – Great Britain, France, Germany and USA – and on Egypt itself. The aim of this study is to examine how Egyp

Bemanningsbranschen har under de senaste årtiondena vuxit kraftigt i Sverige och är idag en etablerad del av arbetsmarknaden. Behovet av att reglera bemanningsbranschen rättsligt insåg EU redan tidigt och efter många turer och skilda åsikter i frågan så kunde EU 2008 beslutaom bemanningsdirektivet. Direktivet skulle vara genomfört i Sverige senast 2011 men blev klart först i januari 2013 då uthyrnThe temporary agency work business has grown considerably over the last decades in Sweden. The need to regulate the business by law was recognized early on by the EU. After a long process and many divergent opinions, the Temporary Agency Work directive was finally agreed upon in 2008. The directive should have been implemented in Sweden in 2011 but the law enforcing it, uthyrningslagen, was not fi

För att en användare ska ha rätt att utnyttja ett upphovsrättskyddat verk krävs tillstånd från upphovsmannen. Inom vissa verksamheter utnyttjas stora mängder av upphovsrättskyddade verk som behöver klareras. Det kan vara tidskrävande och dyrt att införskaffa individuella tillstånd för dessa. De nordiska länderna har löst detta problem genom att införa ett avtalslicenssystem. Avtalslicensen är ett In order for a user to exploit a copyright protected work, permission needs to be obtained from the author. In certain fields, large amounts of copyright protected work are exploited. To acquire individual permits is both time consuming and expensive. The Nordic countries have solved this problem by introducing a system of extended collective licenses (ECL). An ECL is an agreement between an organ

Boilerplate är en term som används för att beskriva standardiserade klausuler som ofta återfinns i slutet av ett avtal och som behandlar generella frågor som inte är beroende av avtalets art eller omfattning. Det finns flertalet olika boilerplate, varav en är integrationsklausulen. Klausulen har i och med internationaliseringen av den kommersiella rätten blivit mycket vanligt förekommande i svenskBoilerplate is a term used to describe standardized clauses that often appear at the end of a contract and deals with general issues that are not dependent on the nature or scope of the agreement. There are several different boilerplates, one of which is the entire agreement clause. The entire agreement clause has become very common in Swedish law due to the internationalization of Swedish busines

Thomas Quick erkände under 1990-talet ett 30-tal mord som han påstod att han begått i Sverige, Norge, Danmark, och Finland under åren 1964-1993. Han dömdes för åtta av dem. 18 år senare, i december 2008, tar han tillbaka alla sina erkännanden av mord och begär resning för samtliga fällande domar. Detta har hittills resulterat i tre frikännande domar samt två positiva resningsbeslut. Pelle Svensson1990 Thomas Quick confessed to around 30 murders that he claimed to have committed in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland around the years 1964-1993. He was convicted for eight of them. 18 years later he takes back his confessions of murder and applies for remedy for all his convictions. This has so far resulted in three acquittals and five granted trials of remedy. Pelle Svensson, lawyer and auth

Värdering av obebyggd tomtmark för småhus kan ibland vara svårt då det saknas ett bra ortsprismaterial. Ännu svårare är att värdera tomtmark för småhus som är bebyggda med byggnader på ofri grund. Tomtmark med byggnader på ofri grund upplåtna med nyttjanderätter anses ha ett lägre värde än tomtmark som är obebyggd eller tomtmark som är bebyggd av fastighetens ägare. Det beror på att nyttjanderätteThe objective of this work is to examine the impact on value that a house on leasehold has on the underlying land in a partition ordinance. In order to build a foundation and create an understanding about houses on leasehold, partitiontools and different methods of valuation I undertook literature studies. The literature consisted of, among other things, preparatory work for FBL and the Court of A

Background: The high prevalence of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections among young people in Sweden are the result of a trend towards increased sexual risk-taking behaviour. While a few qualitative studies suggest that some of these young people take sexual risks as an escape from loneliness, the associations between loneliness and sexual risk-taking behavior are still not w

Human activities keep increasing the average temperature of our planet and as a consequence, global environmental systems have been put out of balance. Simultaneously and intertwined with the climate crisis, human behavior is also causing a mass extinction of species with a terrifying speed. This thesis investigates how Swedish environ

Heterogena katalysatorer för användning i bränslecellssystem har undersökts baserat på aktiv fas och tillverkningsmetoder för granulat- och monolitkatalysatorer. Katalysatorerna tillverkades genom att använda θ – aluminiumoxid som bärare, dopad med lantan och cerium, där den aktiva fasen bestod av ädelmetall X och nickel i varierande halter. Analys gjordes genom att låta en blandning av vattenångaHeterogeneous catalysts to be used in a pre-reformer for fuel cell systems have been investigated based on active phase composition and catalyst preparation methods for granulate and monolithic catalysts. The catalysts were manufactured using θ – aluminum oxide as carrier, promoted with lanthanum and cerium, with active phases consisting of noble metal X and nickel in various concentrations. Analy

Genom att minska mängden planktivor och bottenlevande fisk (reduktionsfiske eller biomanipulation) kan vattenkvalitén och den ekologiska statusen i övergödda sjöar förbättras. Om metoden utförs effektivt ger den positiva effekter på siktdjup, algmängd samt biodiversitet vilket ökar möjligheterna för rekreation och dricksvatten. En viktig upptäckt vid reduktionsfisken är att bottenlevande fisk har Biomanipulation, i.e. to reduced planktivorous- and benthivorous fish in order to receive changes in the trophic structure has been a successful method to improve water quality and the ecological status in eutrophic lakes. The initial idea was to increase the abundance of large zooplankton and thus to cause a trophic cascade with reduced algal biomass. Many studies failed to observe an increase of

Research suggests that polyphenols, such as anthocyanins, that are found in considerable amounts in many types of berries, contributes with a positive effect on human cognition. However, clinical trials are warranted to support these findings. Preparation for such a trial includes developing a berry-rich study product and a corresponding reference beverage. Phenolic compounds are highly unstable a
