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

Jorderosion är ett stort problem på många platser på jorden. Ökad befolkning och brist på jordbruksmark leder till försämrad produktion och tvingar bönderna att öppna upp skogar, överbeta betesmarker, övergödsla och odla på branta sluttningar. När vegetationstäcket sedan är undanröjt är marken mer utsatt för regn. Detta leder till erosion eftersom jordpartiklarna inte längre kan hållas kvar av växSoil erosion is a problem throughout the globe, as it reduces the fertility of arable land. As population increases the pressure on agricultural land increases, resulting in overgrazing of rangelands, shorter fallow periods and forest clearing. This reduces the protective vegetation cover and exposes the soil to rainfall and runoff erosion. The aim of this master thesis is to evaluate the usefulne

The membership of individuals in democratic political communities is marked by the status of citizenship. Citizenship entails belonging to a nation-state where rights and obligations are balanced between the state and its citizens. Democratically the nation-state is meant to be inclusive of all the people living on its territory. In the globalised world of today this is challenged by migration, th

Med den globala uppvärmningen förutspås klimatet i arktiska och subarktiska miljöer förändras påtagligt. Enligt IPCCs senaste rapport kan både temperatur och nederbörd öka dubbelt så mycket som det globala genomsnittet, och störst ökning väntas under vinterhalvåret. Många känsliga ekosystem och miljöer kommer med stor sannolikhet att påverkas redan vid små förändringar. Ett exempel på sådana miljöThe on-going global warming is projected to have large impacts on the arctic and subarctic environment. Especially vulnerable are ecosystems with narrow climatic envelopes and with small possibilities of adaptation. An example of this is the palsa mires, subarctic mire complexes with patches of permafrost. Palsas are peat mounds with a frozen core, formed by the expansion and upheaval of the segre

The area around Lake Vänern in western Sweden is an exposed area for flooding. It has since the measurements started in the 1900th century been flooded repetitively. In the coming 100 years the water level is supposed to increase between 1-3 meters. This will most probably lead to worse and more regular floods in the area. There area around Lake Vänern is very densely populated and it will most pr

This paper evaluates the way that patents influence FDI in China. The theory suggests that a strong property right in terms of patents may benefit the inflows of FDI. An empirical study is conducted based on 31 provinces in China (not including Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macaw) during the period 1995-2007. The panel data method is chosen for the analysis in the study, with preliminary unit root test. T
