During the last two decades the global trading has had a striking increase. The combination of increased internal transactions together with more complex structures of ownership within international companies have complicated the possibility of authority control of transfer pricing. In 1995 the OECD, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, issued updated guidelines for use of trans
In order to preserve the variety of life on Earth, we must understand it better. Biodiversity research is at a pivotal point with research projects generating data at an ever increasing rate. Structuring, aggregating, linking and processing these data in a meaningful way is a major challenge. The systematic application of information management and engineering technologies in the study of biodiver
Primeval forest or prime grassland. This paper aims to bridge the gap between the paleoecology of the Boreal and Atlantic forests and archaeological bone assemblages. The study has been focused on central Scania, Sweden, an area known for rich Mesolithic findings. The population responses over time to ecological changes in the environment has been studied for the five most commonly recovered game
In these times, when global warming is escalating and the finite resources of the world are consumed in a fast pace, it is very important to find sustainable solutions for the near future. Transport is one of the sectors that need to find alternative solutions to the utilisation of fossil fuels. This master thesis investigates biogas production from ley crops, which is a mixture of different speci
Sustainable development “which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs,” (WCED 1987) is a global development objective of paramount importance. However, on the ground, ‘sustainable development’ is – in my experience – often little more than a buzzword for securing grants. From a strong sus-tainability standpoint, this thesis doc
Objective. It has been reported that aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) may protect against dementia of Alzheimer's type and/or vascular dementia. However, co-morbidity and the dose of aspirin may be critical. A major indication for low-dose aspirin is prophylaxis after stroke and transient ischaemic attacks, conditions that may obscure an anti-dementia effect by the d
This bachelor thesis is a case study of a culture project in Scania, Norra Grängesberg gatufesten in Malmö, planned by the municipality. The project aims to create a place where a diversity of culture actors can take part and is promoted as a grassroot festival. The viewpoint of the thesis is planned creativity with following research questions 1.1 How do the actors describe the Norra Grängesberg
Through a deductive content analysis, this paper aimed to elucidate a place for critical literacy as an educational approach based on research by Lewison, Flint and Van Sluys in the Swedish curricula for upper secondary school, GY2000 and Lgy11, respectively. After reading research by Cabau and Hult, showing how the curricula propagates the position of English in the curriculum, and the Swedish so
Mental illness has increasingly become a problem throughout the world and is believed to cost the global economy $16 trillion by 2030. Consequently, a growing body of literature investigates the possible causes of mental illness and more specifically, possible early life circumstances which may affect adult mental health. Limited research exists though in terms of exposure to recessions in utero a
The textile industry is known for its complex global supply chains and being subject to a raft of sustainability issues. As renowned apparel brands begin to adopt circular economy principles to close their material loop, upcycling of post-industrial waste streams presents a promising solution. The Oberalp Group has taken initiatives to address its material sustainability issues by starting some up
Today, approximately 55% of the total global population lives in urban areas, while in Europe the number is higher than 70%, and both figures are expected to continue growing during the next decades. At the same time, cities are facing an increasing number of challenges, such as sea level rise, increased temperatures, air quality and more extreme weather events. Nature-based Solutions (NbS), altho
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Himalayas glaciärer både växer och blir mindre som ett svar på klimatförändringarna. Den dominerande trenden är att ismassor minskar, speciellt för mindre glaciärer. Allt eftersom glaciärer drar sig tillbaka, ändras hydrologin och vattentillgängligheten, både uppströms och nedströms inom dräneringsområdet. Denna förändring är mest tydlig på hög altitud där jordbHimalayan glaciers are both growing and shrinking as a response to global climate change. The major trend is a loss of ice sheets, especially among the smaller glaciers. As glaciers retreat there is a change in hydrology and seasonal water availability both upstream and downstream of the river basins. This is most apparent in high altitude and glacierfed areas where meltwater is the main (sometime
Aims Pancreatic β-cells synthesize and release serotonin (5 hydroxytryptamine, 5HT); however, the role of 5HT receptors on glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and the mechanisms mediating this function is not fully understood. The aims of this study were to determine the expression profile of 5HT receptors in murine MIN6 β-cells and to examine the effects of pharmacological activation of 5
The past 23 years of post-socialist restructuring of health system funding and management patterns has brought many changes to small Balkan markets, putting them under increasing pressure to keep pace with advancing globalization. Socioeconomic inequalities in healthcare access are still growing across the region. This uneven development is marked by the substantial difficulties encountered by loc
The Port of Rotterdam is an important industrial cluster mainly comprising of oil refining, chemical manufacturing and power and steam generation. In 2015, the area accounted for 18 % of the Netherlands' total CO2 emissions. The Port of Rotterdam Authority is aware that the port's economy is heavily exposed to future global and EU decarbonization policies, as the bulk of its activities focuses on
