Förevarande uppsats behandlar de argument och ställningstaganden som ligger bakom lagstiftarens beslut beträffande assisterad befruktning i allmänhet, och surrogatmoderskap i synnerhet. Den alternativa familjebildningen och den assisterade befruktningens historia går långt tillbaka i tiden, men började på allvar regleras på 1980-talet, då inseminationsutredningen grundligt utredde frågan. VariatThe thesis at hand deals with the arguments and positions underlying the legislators decisions concerning Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) in general, and surrogate motherhood in particular.

Skillnaden mellan terapeutisk och giftig dos kallas terapeutiskt fönster. Om det terapeutiska fönstret är snävt kan man behöva ta små doser ofta för att en säker och effektiv koncentration av läkemedlet i kroppen underThe purpose of this project was to develop and test lipase-based in vitro release (IVR) assays for model and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) entrapped in lipid formulations based on mixtures of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and glycerol dioleate (GDO). Two dyes, Fluorescein disodium salt and Patent Blue V sodium salt, functioning as model drug compounds, were investigated separately in the PC/G

Vindkraftens utbyggnad kommer leda till att det i framtiden kommer ställas högre krav på nedstyrning av den aktiva effekten i vindkraftsanläggningar. Denna rapport tar upp hur elproduktionen påverkas vid nedstyrning. Det är inte alltid självklart hur en anläggning påverkas då det är faktorer som turbinlayout, vindriktning och vindhastighet som spelar in. För att kunna modellera nedreglering av deThe expansion of wind power will lead to higher demands on downward regulation of active power in wind power plants. This report treats how the production of electricity is affected by downward regulation. It is not trivial how a wind power plant reacts since factors like turbine layout, wind direction and wind speed have an impact. To be able to model downward regulation of the active power the w

Syftet med studien är att få en inblick i varför väderskydd inte används i den utsträckning som rekommenderas med tanke på fuktsäkerheten.

Today there are still single family houses with direct electric heating systems, even though this is an expensive and inefficient way of heating a house. It is common to install an air-to-air heat pump that requires less electricity to produce the same amount of heat as a direct electricity heating system. These heat pumps do not produce any energy for domestic hot water since the water is heated

Psykiskt störda lagöverträdare har särbehandlats sedan antikens dagar. I de flesta länder i världen finns det än idag ett krav på att en person ska vara tillräknelig för att kunna dömas till ansvar för brott.

I Sverige finns det inget krav på Mentally disordered offenders have always been treated differently by the criminal justice system.
