Ångcentralen på AAK har 4 olika pannor och huvudpannan är en biobränslepannan. Denna panna benämns även som Panna 4 och eldas idag med hushållspellets av klass A1. Vid förbränning så bildas kväveoxider, NOX, som har en negativ effekt på miljön och människor. AAK som idag ligger under villkorsvärdet för utsläpp av kväveoxider enligt krav från Förordning 2013:252 som gäller för stora förbränningsanlThe steam power station at AAK has 4 different boilers and the main boiler is a biofuel boiler. The boiler uses household pellets of type A1. During combustion, nitrogen oxides, NOX, are formed and they have many negative effects on the environment and has direct and indirect effects on human health. Today AAKs NOX emission are lower than the restricted regulation value for nitrogen oxide emission

The study of home has historically been approached by numerous academic disciplines within the social sciences and humanities. However, increased international mobility and forced migration due to conflict in recent years has produced a renewed interest to understand the ways we conceptualize and (re)create home in foreign places. The present research aims to produce a theoretical framework that a

Den här uppsatsen undersöker förhållandet mellan internationella finansiella institutioner, mänskliga rättigheter och miljö. I kampen mot klimatförändringar har hållbar finansiering lyfts fram som en åtgärd för att stödja skiftet till en hållbar ekonomi. Internationella finansiella institutioner är centrala aktörer i omväxlingen mot en hållbar ekonomi och utgör de främsta tillhandahållarna av offeThis thesis examines the relationship between international finance and environmental rights, and how the concept of sustainable finance has emerged as a response to climate change and the rapid transition towards a sustainable economy. Multilateral development banks (MDBs) are a key player in the transition to a green economy, contributing to 68% of global climate finance. Thus, MBDs are the majo

Sierra Leone has struggled with high rates of adolescent pregnancy for some time and reports have shown an increase in these figures during and following the unprecedented Ebola Virus Disease outbreak from 2014 through 15. As young girls are impregnated, it has long been customary for girls to drop out of school. When schools re-opened after the Ebola crisis, this practice was formalized as the Mi

Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) is a concept where water is stored in an aquifer during times when it is available, thus creating artificial groundwater, which can later be recovered by pumping when it is needed (Pyne, 1995). One ASR cycle consists of a injection, a standby and a recovery phase. The purpose of this work is to investigate the feasibility of large scale ASR systems intended for l

The substantial growth of private health insurance in 21st century Sweden has sparked debates about its potential effect on waiting times within the public health care system. Some argue that individuals with private health insurance are prioritized in the waiting list for health care, potentially leading to longer waiting times for those without private coverage. Conversely, others argue that pri

The Black Forest National Park (NP), Germany, opened in 2014 after intense societal disputes, complicated by changing political factors, scientific conservation debates, and multi-level decision-making structures. I argue that value conflicts over fundamentally opposed views on nature underlie these disputes, and that integrating these views in future NP planning may improve the sustainability of

The movement and distribution of ecologically important herbivores such as elephants are of great significance to conservation biologist seeking to understand the fundamental triggers that influence their mobility and the extent to which these parameters affect how they utilize their immediate and surrounding resources. The recent advancement in animal tracking technology coupled with the availabi

Population ageing affects most European countries, placing increasing pressure on publicly funded Long Term Care (LTC) systems. Informal care is often seen as a low-cost alternative to formal care services, yet it may induce unwelcome reductions in labour supply. This study presents evidence on the relationship of informal care provision, employment probability, and work hours of mature caregivers

This research paper uses an explanatory sequential mixed method design to examine the factors influencing students' decision-making regarding their future and the impact of Brexit on these choices. The study aims to understand the interplay between various factors and Brexit's role in shaping students' decisions. Initially, quantitative analysis of the 2017 CPC-ONS-UUK SoGIS survey dat

The prospectus protects investors by providing clear information about the company, the shares, and the risks, enabling them to make well-informed investments. The essay focuses

Mervärdesskatten är ett av de mest harmoniserade områdena inom EU-rätten. En central del av mervärdesskattesystemet är rätten till avdrag för ingående mervärdesskatt. Många företag bedriver blandad verksamhet som innebär att en del verksamheten är mervärdesskattepliktig, medan en annan del inte är det. Fastighetsägare och bostadsrättsföreningar kan bedriva frivilligt beskattad uthyrning av lokalerValue Added Tax (VAT) is one of the most harmonized areas of EU law. A central element of the VAT system is the right to deduct input VAT. Mixed economic businesses include both VAT liable and VAT exempt activities. Landlords can have voluntary taxation of rental properties alongside permanent residences which are exempt from VAT. In such businesses, costs are often shared between the different ac

DNA polymerases make up a family of enzymes responsible for regulating DNA replication and repair, which in turn maintains the integrity of the genome. However, despite intensive kinetic, crystallographic, and computational studies, elucidation of the detailed enzymatic mechanism still presents a significant challenge. We recently developed an alternative strategy for exploring the fidelity and me

Objectives: Discrimination and prejudice are prevalent in workplaces worldwide, but there are few empirically validated interventions for combating racial bias in organizational settings. This study aims to evaluate an intervention consisting of experiential exercises derived from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). The objective is to address psychologica

Being the premier forum for automotive user interface research and other vehicular technologies, AutomotiveUI concerns professionals, academics, researchers, and industry representatives from all around the world interested in innovation, research, and application of automotive user interface topics, embodying diversity at its core. This diversity is however not always reflected in the conference'

En ökande användning av ammonium genom samhälls- och industriell utveckling hotar utvatten runt om i världen. För att skydda det akvatiska ekosystemet och dricksvattenresurserna kan ammonium avlägsnas med biologisk behandling vid avloppsreningsverk. Utvecklingen av avloppsreningsverk under det senaste århundradet syftar till att implementera lösningar som är kostnads- och energieffektiva, har en lAn increasing usage of ammonium through societal and industrial development is threatening the water bodies around the world. To protect the aquatic ecosystem and drinking water resources, ammonium can be removed with biological treatment at wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). The development of WWTPs in the last century is aiming to implement solutions, which are cost and energy efficient, have a

Lagen (1988:609) om målsägandebiträde, vilken medger en rätt till biträde för brottsoffer som utsatts för särskilt allvarlig brottslighet, har varit en central lagstiftning för att stärka brottsoffrets intressen i rättsprocessen. Till följd av en lagreform som genomfördes år 2018 har dock rätten begränsats i högre rätt. Detta har i sin tur mötts av omfattande kritik med hänsyn till brottsoffrens iThe Act (1988:609) on Counsel for Injured Parties, which grants the right to counsel for victims of particularly serious crimes, has been a significant piece of legislation for strengthening the interests and rights of crime victims within the legal process. However, a legal reform enacted in 2018 has limited this right in higher courts. This has been met with extensive criticism concerning the in

Citizen collaboration is essential to tackling global sustainability issues. People have different motivations for participating. However, there is a lack of studies on citizen motivations for participating in local sustainability initiatives. To address this gap, the present study looked into the motivations of the residents of the Sege Park neighbourhood in Malmö, Sweden. The study interviewed n
