Surrogate motherhood and whether it should be legalized or not, has been a controversial area in Sweden. Swedish law has not any evident legislation prohibiting surrogate motherhood, but existing law can be interpreted as not allowing such arrangements. Due to that, many couples in Sweden are going abroad in order to implement surrogate arrangements. Therefore, some problems have occurred when the

In this thesis, a holographic model for quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is used to estimate the electromagnetic contribution to the kaon mass difference. The principal ideas of the model are inspired by the AdS/CFT correspondence, which is believed to be exact. The calculation is first performed theoretically, highlighting the expansion of the result into a diagrammatic structure referred to as Witte

EU:s regelverk om offentlig upphandling uppdaterades 2014 och snart kommer uppdateringen i den svenska lagtexten. Det blir nu ännu tydligare att det är tillåtet att ställa miljökrav vid offentlig upphandling. Det är en vanlig uppfattning att det inte går att upphandla varor, tjänster och byggnadsverk med bättre miljöprestanda eftersom att de traditionellt sett inte kan konkurrera med kriteriet ”This is a master’s thesis about green public procurement (GPP) in the construction sector, based on a legal dogmathic study and a case study. The legal dogmathic part focused on both EU-legislation and on Swedish legislation. The case study was performed on the municipal of Lund to understand how a small authority works with GPP. The study of EU-legislation shows that the possibility to request b

Thesis Purpose: This study has a twofold purpose. First, the authors want to contribute to research on idea evaluation in the fuzzy front end by specifically shedding light on the food industry as this sector differs from other industries (Galizzi & Venturini, 1996; Tidd & Bessant, 2014; Triguero, Córcoles & Cuerva, 2013). Second, different evaluation criteria will be outlined for high

Denna uppsats baseras på min översättning av utdrag ur romanen Los recuerdos del porvenir (1963) av Elena Garro och utgör mitt examensarbete för översättarprogrammet vid Lunds universitet år 1. Garros roman räknas som ett föregångsverk inom magisk realism och i min uppsats undersöker jag i vilken utsträckning denna magiskt realistiska stil går att överföra till svenska. Uppsatsen inleds med en kälThis essay is based on my translation of parts of the novel Los recuerdos del porvenir (1963) by Elena Garro and constitutes my final project at the first year of the Translation Program at Lund University. Garro´s novel is regarded a forerunner of Magic Realism literature and the objective of my essay is to investigate to which extent this magic realistic style is translatable into Swedish. As a

Arbetet utgår från en riktad kvalitativ innehållsanalys av ett metodstöd för jämställdhetsintegrering på HVB-hem skapat av Länsstyrelsen Dalarna. Jämställdhetsintegrering av nyanlända görs genom övningar som främjar samtal. Analysen gjordes utifrån Judith Butlers queerteoretiska perspektiv och det tillfördes även ett intersektionellt perspektiv taget främst från Paulina De los Reyes och Diana Muli

Ramanspektroskopi är en välkänd teknik som används för att mäta koncentrationer av kemiska ämnen i förbränningsprocesser. Uppställningen för mätmetoden är i sig relativt enkel, då allt som egentligen behövs är en laser som skickar laserpulser igenom flamman. Ljus kan ses som en samling partiklar, kallade fotoner. När ljuset träffar molekylerna i flamman kommer molekylernas absorption av fotonerna A multi-pass Raman spectroscopy setup, consisting of a measuring cell built as a cavity, using two concave circular mirrors, has been constructed and optimized. As the light reflects between the mirrors, the Stokes Raman signal is enhanced with every pass through the cavity. The setup is tested by measurements of species in ambient laboratory air, N2 gas flowing through a transparent plastic tube,

This paper investigates the determinants of corporate cash holdings in the casino and gambling industry. The trade-off, pecking order and free cash flow theory are all popular methods for explaining the determinants of cash holdings for general firms.

Smartphones ger dig tillgång till internet, tusentals appar och telefoni i en förpackning inte större än att den får plats i din ficka. Det är en av produkterna av 50 års forskning inom halvledarteknik. Forskning som idag står inför en stor utmaning med att fortsätta utvecklandet i samma takt som tidigare \cite{MArden2002371}. Den här artikeln beskriver försök att undersöka nya material som kan löThe down scaling of metal-oxide-semiconductor based devices has been halted by the shortcomings of silicon. To enable further miniaturization new materials are required. The proposed replacements include compound III-V semiconductors and high-k oxides, the implementation of which has been difficult. This work investigates metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors fabricated on InAs substrate. The oxide

Vid all skärande bearbetning bildas spånor som en biprodukt. Mängden spånor varierar beroende på hur arbetsstycket och slutprodukten ser ut. I vissa fall är det 70-80 % av utgångsmaterialet som omvandlas till spån under förädlingen. Skärspånen måste återvinnas på något sätt och det vanligaste sättet att återvinna materialet är att skicka tillbaka restprodukten till leverantören som smälter ner det

Children who witness violence against a parent falls victim to a form of mental abuse. The children often react in fear, anxiety and sadness. Children who witness violence are as much in need of help and support as those children who are themselves victims of violence. A person who is subjected to violence by their partners in Sweden have an opportunity to seek protection. With the help of social

The public sector in Sweden has since the 1980´s looked for inspiration from businesses and corporations in the organization of their work. This due to the emergence of a management trend known as new public management. One effect has been a spread of the concept of lean in multiple public sector organizations all over the country. Lean is a concept and method used to achieve efficiency and qualit

Corporate bankruptcy prediction has become a popular research topic since 1960s, and default risk management plays a more significant role among investors, debtors and the lenders. The Altman’s z-score model, the KMV model, and the Naïve model are well-known and widely used bankruptcy prediction models. This paper focuses on examining the bankruptcy prediction accuracy of these three models in the

This paper investigates the accuracy of three different methods that are used to perform a relative valuation. I also study the valuation accuracy of the three most widely used multiples used within these methods, the enterprise value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA), the forward-looking price per share to earnings per share (P/EPS1), and the price-book (P/B). In addition, the difference between industries r
