The conventional internal combustion engines of today are starting to reach their maximum possible efficiency, however the demand for highly efficient vehicles keeps increasing. There are many ways of improving the total fuel consumption of an internal combustion engine, but one of the most promising, effective and available methods is the implementation of an Organic Rankine cycle (ORC). The scop
Yearly thousands travel from around the globe to Peru to participate in the ceremonial consumption of ayahuasca under the guidance of a shaman. The brew stimulates a psychedelic state in users that triggers hallucinations, powerful emotional responses,and severe physical reactions, all of which are codified into ritual practice.

Social anti-individualists suggest that the social environment enters into the individuation of psychological contents. This is defended by the now-famous arthritis thought experiment. Nevertheless, counterarguments have been proposed that aim to undermine the thought experiment. We identify two intuitions that underlie the thought experiment and evaluate five counterarguments in relation to these

Abstract The Corporate Planning Process within ST-‐Ericsson requires each division within the company to develop its own five-‐year plan, which later will be consolidated into a corporate long-‐term plan. L3M, the division subject to this study, has so far only submitted one long-‐term plan. Both the process of developing the plan and the plan itself was considered unsatisfactory. This thesis

Förlikningsavtal i patenttvister ligger i brytpunkten mellan patenträtten och konkurrensrätten. Patent är ett lagligt monopol som ges som belöning till innovativa företag för väl utfört värv, medan konkurrensrätten strävar efter att begränsa eller förhindra den skada ett monopol utgör för marknaden. Förlikningsavtal med omvänd betalning kan antingen ses som ett legitimt sätt för en patentinnehavarPatent settlement agreements lie in the intersection of patent rights and competition law. Patents are legal monopolies that are given to innovators as a reward for their findings, and competition law strives to limit the harm monopolies do to the market. Patent settlements in which the patent holder pays the generic manufacturer a not to market a competitive and possible infringing product, can e
I Europa påverkas cirka 600 000 personer, inklusive barn, av statslöshet. Även om UNHCR:s #IBelong-kampanj har uppmärksammat frågan och satt ett tydligt mål att statslösheten ska upphöra till 2024, råder det fortfarande tvivelaktigheter kring vilken stat som är ansvarig för att bevilja statslösa barn medborgarskap. Konsekvensen av detta blir en ökad statslöshet bland unga där ingen stat står ansvaIn Europe, about 600 000 individuals, including children, are affected by statelessness today. Although the UNHCR #IBelong Campaign has shed light on the issue and set the goal of ending statelessness by 2024, there is still a lack of understanding as to which State is responsible for granting nationality to stateless children. This leads to the fundamental consequence of stateless-ness, where no
