Popular Abstract in Swedish Eftersom politiska partier är kollektiva varor står potentiella partibildare inför det kollektiva handlandets problem. Därför kan vi tala om en "partibildningsparadox". Sålunda är det förvånande att icke riksdagsetablerade partier blev vanligare förekommande i svenska kommuner mellan 1973 och 2002. Utvecklingen ger oss ett unikt material på vilket vi kan pröva hypoteserSince political parties are collective goods, groups of people that demand new political parties face a collective action problem. Therefore, we can speak of a ?paradox of party-emergence?. Hence, it is puzzling that new parties became increasingly common in representative bodies at the Swedish local level during 1973?2002. This development provides a unique circumstance on which to test hypothese

This paper addresses the question of why metal- deficient barium stars are not yellow symbiotic stars ( YSyS). Samples of ( suspected) metal-deficient barium ( mdBa) stars and YSyS have been collected from the literature, and their properties reviewed. It appears in particular that the barium nature of the suspected mdBa stars needs to be ascertained by detailed abundance analyses. Abundances are

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den nuvarande teknologin inom förbränningsmotorer har möjligheten att hantera den alltmer strikta myndighetskraven på förbränningsmotorn. Emellertid de nödvändiga tekniska lösningarna som krävs är dyra och alltmer tekniskt krävande. En möjlig väg mot enklare efterbehandlingssystem är anvädningen av Homogen Kompressions Antändning (Eng: HCCI) motor cykeln. Den huvudsaklThe current technology within combustion engines have the possibility of handling the more stringent legislative demands on combustion engines. However the required solutions are getting more expensive and technically challenging. One possible way towards a more simple exhaust aftertreatment system is the use of the Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine cycle. The main advantage o

Sverige är en rättsstat som bygger på många olika principer för att kunna för-säkra ett fungerade rättsväsende. En viktig sådan är principen om domens orubblighet. De domar som en domstol meddelar ska stå fast när dessa vunnit laga kraft, vilket kallas för en doms negativa rättskraft. Vidare har de mänsk-liga rättigheterna som inkorporerats i svensk lagstiftning genom EKMR en stor plats vid lagstiSweden is a state governed by the rule of law, and is based on many different principles in order to ensure a functioning justice system. An important prin-ciple is that the rulings from the courts should be adamant, also known as the principle of firmness. The ruling of the court shall stand when it has gained legal force and this is also known as the negative legal force of a judgment. The human

The aim of the study at had was to explore the potential of Natural Capital Accounting (NCA) to integrate environment into business decision-making. In order to fulfill the aim, the research was split into three main parts. First, the existing views on what constitutes NCA were reviewed through a literature analysis of grey literature, and the working definition established. The study found that t

With the climate change and urbanization process, the frequency of the urban flooding’s occurrence has increased in the recent years. It brings great economic losses to the cities, especially to the basements of individual properties. Low Impact Development (LID), which currently advocated by more city planners for managing stormwater, is considered as a more sustainable way to mitigate urban floo

Att vittna är en lagstadgad skyldighet i Sverige. Om man vägrar att inställa sig som vittne trots att man är kallad riskerar man att tvångsmedel riktas mot en. Under senare tid har möjligheten till anonyma vittnesmål diskuterats på en rad olika håll i samhället, då man allt oftare ser en ovilja att vittna på grund av rädsla att drabbas av repressalier. Enligt en allmän uppfattning är det inte tillTo testify is a statutory duty in Sweden. If one refuses to testify, even though one are called by the court, one risks that compulsions will be directed towards one. Recently, the possibility of anonymous testimony has been discussed in the Swedish society, as the reluctance to testify has increased due to the fear of reprisals. But according to the general view in Sweden, it is not allowed to wi

Nya system skapar svårigheter då man inte kan använda redan etablerade metaforer, designer eller sätt att beskriva och prata om systemet. Detta arbetet ämnar att underlätta arbetet med sådana system genom att erbjuda designprinciper och metodiker för att jobba med dem och undersöka vilka svårigheter man behöver vara medveten om. För att forma och testa nya designprinciper och metodiker så genomföOne of the difficulties in designing new products is the absence of already tried metaphors, designs or ways to talk about the system. This thesis focuses on methods and practises one could potentially use when designing something new - and if there are any challenges one need to aware of as a designer of such a system. In order to devise, and test, these practices and methods, an example system

The partly hot-water driven CO2 capture plant offers a significant potential for improvement in performance when implemented in a combined-cycle power plant (CCPP). It is possible to achieve the same performance with a dual-pressure steam cycle as in a triple-pressure unit. Even a single-pressure plant can attain an efficiency competitive with that achievable with a triple-pressure plant without t

This paper discusses the sanction for damages upon trademark infringement. The Swedish trademark law, 38 §, is compared to the coming proposal of the Swedish trademark law, 67 §. The final law proposal is yet to be determined; the proposal has not been published in Swedish code of statutes and is therefore not in effect. A central issue is whether the new proposal will improve the, thus far, medio

Initially, the importance of leverage in explaining equity return volatility is determined through two fixed effects panel data estimations. The panel dataset runs from 1990-2009 and includes 20 years worth of observations for the 45 firms on the Stockholm stock exchange for which data is available. The

As the case of the Deepwater Horizon reveals, the consequences of an oil spill or any other marine incident can be devastating. Although pollution from ships implies a much lesser scale, nevertheless there must be maximum efforts for preventing the possible risks and consequences of marine casualties. For centuries salvors have remained the ones who will provide the fastest response to a ship in

In many places across the northern hemisphere, drinking water treatment plants (WTPs) need to avert the effects of deteriorating quality in surface water sources caused by increasing lev-els of natural organic matter (NOM). The two major factors responsible for this phenomenon, also called brownification, are the greenhouse effect and changes in soil acidification. Additional treatment steps needs
