Latest research confirmed that plant matter can also produce a non negligible amount of the greenhouse gas methane under aerobic conditions. These findings have led to discussions and controversy within the research community. While KEPPLER ET AL. (2006) as one of the first researchers published results supporting this hypothesis others like DUECK ET AL. (2007) refuted these results within their e
This essay investigates Swedish labour law concerning the rules of priority and their relation to the parts of labour market. The study focuses on the requirements that both parts have to take in consideration regarding dismissals upon redundancy. From an employer’s point of view it is obligations according to the law, but also the privileges that a position of an employer provides. In relation to
Sverige har under en lång period haft en nästintill unik arbetsmarknadsmodell, den så kallade svenska modellen. Denna modell bygger på ett antal hörnstenar som ett bra samarbetsklimat mellan marknadens parter, hög facklig organisationsgrad och en stat som håller sig neutral och utanför arbetsmarknaden. Under 1970-talet började dock en förändring att ske och idag är modellen bara en skugga av sitt
Uppsatsens syfte är att försöka precisera arbetsgivarens omplaceringsskyldighet och när en omplaceringsutredning anses vara fullgjord. Därvid kommer följande tre frågor att belysas. För det första, omplaceringsmöjlighetens ekonomiska aspekter. För det andra, om ett företags storlek har betydelse för hur en omplacer-ingsutredning genomförs. För det tredje, vad som krävs av arbetsgivaren. Uppsatse
Naturliga faror kan inträffa överallt på jorden. När en naturrisk inträffar kan detta leda till en stor inverkan på människor, miljö och samhälle för lång tid framöver. Naturliga faror klassas då som naturkatastrofer. Värst drabbade är utvecklingsländer, där ekonomin, infrastrukturen och de sociala skyddsnäten är sämre än i industriländer. Naturkatastrofer har ökat markant det senaste århundradet Natural hazards can occur anywhere. Natural hazards become natural disasters when they have great impact on people and environment. Developing countries are more affected than industrial countries. Natural disasters have increased in number the last century, mainly due to the following reasons: climate change, population increase, urbanisation as well as degradation of the environment. Crisis mana
Lathund för inventering. Ökade utsläpp av växthusgaser är idag ett stort problem då det bidrar till klimatförändringar som t.ex. mer frekventa översvämningar och stormar. I uppsatsen granskas en lathund om inventering av växthusgaser i en kommun som Klimatkommunerna har arbetat fram. Klimatkommunerna är en förening som jobbar med att minska växthusgasutsläppen i Sverige genom att bl.a. ta fram kliA raising amount of greenhouse gases in the air that affects the nature and cause more frequent flooding and storms are a problem that we are struggling with today. The Swedish government are working on saving the nature by decreasing the greenhouse gases in the air. “Klimatkommunerna” is a society that tries to solve this problem by working on helping municipalities to make climate-strategies, wh
Sammanfattning I takt med en ökad betydelse för IT-inriktade lösningar har den svenska lagstiftningen i flera avseende uppdaterats allteftersom det har funnits behov. Urkundsförfalskningsparagrafen i 14 kap. 1 § BrB har däremot haft samma ordalydelse sedan 1948. Uppsatsen har syftat till att genom en egen utredning klarlägga ifall det föreligger ett behov av förändring även för 14 kap. 1 § BrB. FrSummary The legislation of Sweden has gradually been updated in order to keep up with changes in IT. The paragraph relating to forgery in chapter 14 § 1 of the Penal Code has not been changed since 1948 and has also survived various revisions. The purpose of this paper is to make clear that there is a need to modify chapter 14 § 1 of the Penal Code in order to accommodate developments in IT and to
The changing climate may contribute to more urban flooding in the future. This report intends to develop a model to identify areas in cities where the risk of flooding is high. Furthermore the report shows a way how the human vulnerability can be analyzed in these areas. The factors with the greatest impact on how an area can be flooded are considered to be the topography, the physical environment
The concept of disaster risk reduction has gained more and more attention since the end of the 20th century due to the exponential increased loss of human lives and material losses, without any evidence of increased number of hazardous events. Instead of just managing disastrous events, a greater emphasis has been put on prevention efforts; an understanding of underlying drivers and vulnerabilitie
The subject of discussion regards whether Finland had potential trade advantages compared to Sweden before the financial crisis by having Euro as their currency compared to the Swedish Krona. Likewise if Swedish economy recovered faster than the Finnish during the financial crisis due to an independent monetary policy. An introduction of the general macroeconomical variables is made to give the re
The aim of the present study was to investigate the merits of unconscious thought when making recruitment decisions. 80 participants were presented with information regarding four applicants for a job as university teacher, in accordance with previous studies on unconscious deliberation (Bos et al, 2008; Dijksterhuis, 2004; Dijksterhuis et al, 2006; Lassiter et al, 2009; Newell, 2008; Payne et al,
Internationell dubbelbeskattning uppstår när två stater under samma tidsperiod gör beskattningsanspråk mot samma skattesubjekt och inkomst. Vilket innebär att två länder beskattar samma inkomst därför att skattereglerna är olika utformade i de olika länderna. Vanligtvis finns det ett skatteavtal mellan länderna som reglerar hur en eventuell dubbelbeskattning ska elimineras eller minskas. Credit meInternational double taxation occurs when two states during the same period make tax claims against the same taxpayer and income. This means that two countries tax the same income because the tax rules are designed differently in different countries. Usually there is a tax treaty between the countries prescribing that the potential double taxation shall be eliminated or reduced. Credit method is o
This is a thesis report for the Master’s program in Risk Management and Safety Engineering at Lund University. It is also a part of the research project Assessing acceptance of privacy-invasive ICT Solutions at the Royal Institute of Technology. Its aim is to examine how the perception and acceptance of privacy-invasive technology is determined by demographics, context and cognitive factors. The m
Detta examensarbete behandlar ur ett konkurrensrättsligt perspektiv hur inträdesbarriärer tolkats i relation till innovationsmarknader inom EU-rätten. Vidare innehåller arbetet en de lege ferenda analys av hur inträdesbarriärer bör tolkas baserat på nationalekonomiska teorier. Examensarbetet tar sin utgångspunkt i de båda konkurrensrättsliga artiklarna i Fördraget om Europeiska Unionens funktionsThis thesis deals with how barriers to entry theory has been interpreted in an innovation markets context in the EU legal order. It further offers an analysis of how barriers to entry should be interpreted using an economics based approach. The scope for this thesis is TFEU Art 101 and Art 102, from which an ex-ante and an ex-post approach on barriers to entry analysis has emanated. The ex-ante a
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the effect of the variables human capital, land and infrastructure on Singapore’s growth in GDP per capita over the time period 1973-2003. Singapore has experienced an extraordinary development with an income per capita that more than quadrupled in less than forty years. This study uses the Romer model that has been extended with human capital, infrastructure a
