In Sweden, 13 % of all transport is related to business travelling, resulting in significant emissions of not only CO2, but also of NOx, VOC, CO and particle matter. The implication for business will not only come in the form of ecological impacts affecting the natural resource base; as people around the world wake up to the fact that issues, like climate change, are a real threat to their welfare

The National Innovation System (NIS) is an interactive model of innovation that has the potential of better enhancing the use of knowledge for economic development. This approach is increasingly capturing the attention of developing economies as a means of utilizing knowledge for economic growth. This paper assesses how the NIS concept is being embraced in the East African (EA) region. It does so

Termen ”ekonomiskt våld” är för många ett relativt okänt begrepp, vilket bara under de senaste åren har börjat leta sig in i media och den allmänna samhällsdebatten. Bland forskare betraktas det ekonomiska våldet som mycket allvarligt och framför allt som en stor riskfaktor för att våldsutsatta kvinnor ska stanna i en våldsam relation. I svensk rätt finns inget straffbud som uttryckligen tar siktThe term “economic violence” is a concept that is relatively unfamiliar to many, which only in recent years has begun to find its way into the media and the general social debate. Many researchers regard economic violence as a very serious issue and, above all, as a major risk that may cause women that are victims of domestic violence to stay in a violent relationship. In Swedish law, there are n

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ortnamn utgör en särskild del av kulturarvet; under århundraden har de muntligen traderats från generation till generation på den plats där de skapats, där de minner om tidigare händelser, aktiviteter och kunskaper. I synnerhet på de håll skriftlig dokumentation är relativt sentida ger ortnamn en möjlighet att nå insikter om den mer avlägsna historien. Detta gäller särsAs a special part of our cultural heritage, toponyms have been handed down orally from generation to generation for centuries or more at the place where they were coined, recalling events, activities and knowledge. Especially where written documentation is relatively young, place names offer a way to reach further back into the past. This is particularly true of many dialectal cultures, in which o

I Indonesien pågår en livlig aktivitet kring hur man bör tolka kvinnors rättigheter inom den muslimska läran. Insikten om genus betydelse står högt på agendan inom forskning och utbildning; vid flera universitet skrivs kursplaner och kurslitteratur utifrån ett genusperspektiv. Även utanför akademien pågår islambaserat arbete för att stärka kvinnors rättigheter. Ett exempel är information om hiv oc

This dissertation addresses the topic of descriptions in conversation: a relatively unexplored area of investigation apart from a small number of studies within the field of conversation analysis (Mondada 1998, 1999). However, whereas previous studies focus on the description as a social activity, enhancing the conversational facet, the present work has as a premise to put emphasis on the descript

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hepatit C är idag den ledande orsaken till kronisk leversjukdom i västvärlden och även den vanligaste anledningen till levertransplantation. Sjukdomen orsakas av hepatit C-virus (HCV) och överförs i de flesta fall via blod. Majoriteten av de smittade (50-80%) kommer att utveckla en kronisk HCV-infektion. Den ständigt pågående inflammation som virusinfektionen orsakar iThe hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a blood borne virus effectively spread through injection practices. Consequently, people who inject drugs (PWID) are at the center of the current HCV epidemic in industrialized countries, with regards both to prevalence and incidence. Through progressive liver fibrosis, chronic HCV infection conveys a substantial risk of liver cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. T

Syftet med regleringen av offentlig upphandling inom unionsrätten är att upprätthålla konkurrens och fri rörlighet på den inre marknaden inom Europeiska unionen. För att uppnå detta syfte finns ett grundläggande krav i upphandlingslagstiftningen på att offentliga kontrakt ska konkurrensutsättas genom annonsering. Trots det kan upphandlande myndigheter under vissa givna förutsättningar frångå kraveThe purpose of the regulation of public procurement in Community law is to maintain competition and free movement in the internal market within the European Union. To achieve this purpose it is a fundamental requirement of procurement legislation that public contracts must be subject to competition through prior publication of a contract notice. Nevertheless, contracting authorities are, under cer

Purpose: A stagnant Cuban economy, state owned and operated businesses, as well as a general public desire for change to happen in the country, present themselves as a matter that should be addressed. The opening up of the private economic sector within a communist regime proves as an interesting topic, and allows for an architectural interpretation to be made. Assignment: Given the economic an

Abstract in UndeterminedThe objective of the report is to analyse simulation results coming from the use of a policy evaluation method that encompasses a wider set of determinants for technology choice. To that end, we use the EEB_Sweden model v1.0. Still in an early stage of development, the model offers an opportunity to capture or integrate critical modelling aspects that justify our research p

We identify the ages that constitute sensitive (or critical) periods in children's development towards their adult health status, skills, and human capital. For this, we use data on families migrating into Sweden from countries that are poorer, with less healthy conditions. Late-life health is proxied by adult height and other adult outcomes. The relation between siblings' ages at migration and th

The thesis is an attempt to contribute to a critical discussion around the discourses that characterize HIV in southern Africa in general, and in Swaziland in particular. The aim of the study is to explore and visualize the experiences of HIV-positive Swazi Christians in church and society, as well as an attempt to explain these experiences with the contributions of key informants and the Swazi tr

Community screening to guide preventive interventions for acute aortic disease has been recommended in high-risk individuals. We sought to prospectively assess risk factors in the general population for aortic dissection (AD) and severe aneurysmal disease in the thoracic and abdominal aorta.

Den svenska successionsrätten innefattar en rätt för bröstarvingar att erhålla en laglott. Bestämmelserna har blivit anklagade för att vara föråldrade och har varit omdebatterad såväl i media som i riksdagen. Följande uppsats kommer att undersöka om laglotten har blivit föråldrad och utröna vilka argument som kan tänkas motivera ett bibehållande av lagstiftningen. Syftet är att se hur gällande rätThe Swedish law of succession includes a right for the direct heir to retain a part of the heritage if the deceased have drawn a will. This phenomenon is called statutory share of inheritance (in Swedish: laglott). The regulations have been accused of being out-of-date and have been up for debate in both media as well as in the parliament. Following essay will examine if the statutory share is out
