While “meaning negotiation” has become an ubiquitous term, its use is often confusing. A negotiation problem implies not only a convenience to agree, but also diverging interest on what to agree upon. It implies agreement but also the possibility of (voluntary) disagreement. In this chapter, we look at meaning negotiation as the process through which agents starting from different preferred concep
Since I finished my PhD thesis in June 2014, I have lived a stimulating but also somewhat precarious life at Lund University. It is no secret that permanent teaching positions are hard to come by, and during the time I have been teaching as temporary staff on a number of different courses, I have started to consider what the lack of permanent positions means for the pedagogical work carried out at
Car-sharing systems with electric vehicles are an alternative to reduce commuting times in big cities and also to mitigate air pollution. Car-sharing exists in 1100 cities around the world. These systems have had positive effects in the cities, replacing between 9 and 23 private vehicles for each car. This document proposes a public car-sharing system for Bogotá. The article focuses on the design
Important factors behind high levels of vulnerability and low adaptive capacity to climate variability and change in the developing world are direct reliance on natural resources, poverty and limited abilities to adapt financially and institutionally. In this study, focusing on the Lake Victoria Basin, a multitude of stressors on livelihoods, including climate related factors, are faced by the rur
The tumor microenvironment can act so as to stimulate or reject tumor cells. Among the determining factors are cytokines produced, for example, by infiltrating immune cells, tumor cells, and fibroblasts. External radiotherapy has been shown to be able to activate an immune response against tumor cells with cytokine signaling as an important part of the activation. The aim of this study was to eval
The blood flow in rat liver was measured with Xe-133. Three techniques for administering the activity to the liver were employed: injection via the portal vein, via the hepatic artery, and directly into the liver parenchyma. Use of intraparenchymal injection of Xe-133 gave 60% higher flow values than by portal or arterial injection techniques. Mean flow index (k1) was for portal injection 0.52, fo
Small birds are hot creatures with an average body temperature of 40° Centigrade, and so must burn energy at a formidable rate to stay warm. This becomes quite the challenge in winter when birds are 40-50 degrees warmer than outside for extended periods, even in comparatively mild regions such as Scotland. Thus, the little bird in winter must spend most of the day either feeding or searching for f
Organized human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination was introduced in Sweden in 2012. On-demand vaccination was in effect from 2006 to 2011. We followed the HPV prevalences in Southern Sweden from 2008 to 2013.
Detta är ett arbete som som syftar till att studera hur djupa eutektiska lösningsmedel påverkar proteinerna bovin serumalbumin och lysozym Ett djupt eutektiskt lösningsmedel är ett lösningsmedel som skapas när två eller fler fasta material, mer specifikt en vätebindningsacceptor (ofta ett kvartärt ammoniumsalt) och en vätebindningsdonator, bildar ett omfattande vätebindningsnätverk. Detta genererThe use of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has a great potential in the pharmaceutical field due to its many advantages such as biocompatibility, low toxicity and biodegradability. Studies have also shown that proteins can be successfully incorporated into DESs. However, protein stability and structure in these solvents need to be investigated for this technology to be applicable. When adding the pr
Den här uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka hur migrantarbetares rättigheter är skyddade inom folkrätt och mänskliga rättigheter. Efter en kort introduktion till internationell migration som fenomen samt de relevanta folkrättsliga normerna övergår uppsatsen till att behandla utlänningars ställning inom mänskliga rättigheter, genom en undersökning av tre av FN:s konventioner för mänskliga rättighetThis thesis examines the international protection of migrant workers. After a brief description of the migration phenomenon and the corresponding international legal framework, the position of aliens under human rights law is addressed through a review of three human rights conventions adopted within the framework of the United Nations. Following that, focus is turned to the international conventi
Denna uppsats belyser de ökande rättsverkningarna det digitala samhället har på upphovsrätten. Framför allt har principen om konsumtion av upphovsrätt, ett undantag på en författares ensamrätt att sprida sitt arbete, erhållit en ny tolkning. Principen innebär att när en rättighetshavare placerar dennes upphovsrättsskyddade verk på marknaden till försäljning, är spridningsrätten konsumerad, vilket This thesis illustrates the increasing legal effects on copyright by the modern digital environment. In particular, the principle of copyright exhaustion, the exception to an author’s exclusive right to distribute his or her work, has been targeted with a novel interpretation. The principle ensures that when a right holder puts his/her copyrighted work on the market for sale, the distribution righ
In recent years the concern about the future of the European Union and its supposed lack of democracy, efficiency and legitimacy has increased. This concern has resulted in extensive debates and the establishment of a convention with the task to create a draft treaty for a European Constitution. The aim of this essay is to study how the three theoretical concepts, democracy, efficiency and le

Brottet grov kvinnofridskränkning går ut på att brottsliga gärningar begångna av en man mot en kvinna som han är eller har varit gift med eller som han bor eller har bott tillsammans med under äktenskapsliknande förhållanden ska bedömas allvarligare om var och en av gärningarna utgjort led i en upprepad kränkning av personens integritet och gärningarna varit ägnade att allvarligt skada personens s
I Europeiska unionen kan namn på produkter med ett specifikt geografiskt ursprung skyddas. Idén om att vissa produkter har särskild kvalitet, särskilda egenskaper eller särskilt rykte som ett resultat av deras geografiska ursprung har ett starkt fäste i Europa. Genom EU:s reglering av geografiska beteckningar kan skydd beviljas för produkter som härstammar från ett visst geografiskt område och somIn the European Union, product names with a specific geographical origin can be protected. The idea that certain products have a specific quality, characteristics or reputation because of their geographical origin is well established in Europe. The EU regulation of geographical indications allows protection to be granted to products originating in a specific geographical area and which, as a resul
