The purpose of this essay is to investigate which financial ratios are significant in the prediction of bank failure for the sample of Russian and Ukrainian banks and to see if there any similar ratios, which drive the bank to bankruptcy in both countries for the first decade of this century. As an instrument for our analysis we use the linear probability and the binary choice models. They are use
Large digital platforms impact the entire internal market of the EU. In particular, three challenges characterise their relationship with businesses and end-users, “access to data”, “imbalanced bargaining power”, and “degrading data privacy”, where the common denominator is personal data. This thesis investigates to what extent these challenges are regulated in the GDPR, Article 102 TFEU and the D
Surrogatmoderskap är en metod för att bli förälder som är oreglerad både inom svensk och internationell rätt. I praktiken är det dock omöjligt att ge- nomföra ett surrogatarrangemang inom den svenska sjukvården. Däremot kan man som svensk anlita en surrogatmoder utomlands med hjälp av en surroga- tagentur. Sådana förfaranden har länge varit föremål för debatt och flera fall av exploatering av bådeWhile Swedish families cannot conduct a surrogacy arrangement in the do- mestic health care system, it is possible to employ a surrogate abroad with the help of an agency. Such practices are however unregulated, both internation- ally and in the Swedish legal system. Additionally, the human rights issues associated with surrogacy have long been debated and cases of exploitation of both surrogates
This paper investigates the effect of prospective secessions on economic integration and growth by examining the break-up of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Firstly, I show theoretically how regional elites had an incentive to restrict domestic trade once secession from the Union became possible. Secondly, I show empirically that the increased likelihood of secessions by the Un
The ideas presented in an earlier note on the relationship between the quark fragmentation distributions as measured in leptoproduction and the one particle distributions in the mesonic fragmentation regions of hadronic interactions are carried further to photoproduction and to the baryon fragmentation distributions. The results are as before interpreted in terms of a simple additive quark model w
The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of toxic agents in attempted and completed suicides. The purpose was also to explore the sources of the drugs taken by suicide attempters. Verbal information on drug intake was collected from 280 suicide attempters during 1987-1990 in the Lund-Orup catchment area. Information on the sources of the drugs was collected from 143 of these att

In recent years, counterradicalization work has come to focus on empowering vulnerable communities and individuals through programs implemented by local governments and welfare services. This article examines this new regime of counterradicalization, focusing on how such programs seek to immunize people allegedly susceptible to radicalization by making them "active citizens." In contrast to the st
Without sufficient knowledge of the painful history of Jewish-Christian apologetics and polemics, which have their origins in late antiquity and continued on into the medieval period, it is easy to fail to recognise the complexities of current Christian approaches to the Land that is now known as Israel and/or Palestine. Jesper Svartvik here examines the interplay of theology and politics, and, in
Background: The Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor study 2013 (GBD 2013) is the first of a series of annual updates of the GBD. Risk factor quantification, particularly of modifiable risk factors, can help to identify emerging threats to population health and opportunities for prevention. The GBD 2013 provides a timely opportunity to update the comparative risk assessment with new
Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are common Gram-negative pathogens associated with an array of pulmonary diseases. All three species have multiple adhesins in their outer membrane, i.e. surface structures that confer the ability to bind to surrounding cells, proteins or tissues. This mini-review focuses on proteins with high affinity for the components of t
