Denna kunskapssammanställning beskriver hur hälsoskadlig värme kan uppstå inomhus, hur den kan identifieras och vilka åtgärder som kan vidtas med fokus på fastighetsägarens ansvar. Sammanställningen är begränsad till befintliga byggnader i Sverige och inkluderar skolor, äldreboenden, lägenheter, förskolor och kontor som är icke-industriella (utan industriella processer som producerar värme). Den pThis literature review describes how heat stress can develop indoors, how it can be identified, and what actions can be taken, with a focus on property owner’s responsibilities. The review is limited to existing buildings in Sweden and includes schools, retirement homes, apartments, preschools, and non-industrial offices (those without industrial processes that produce heat). The expected climate

IGF-1 is an essential regulator of fetal growth and brain development. Preterm birth in the human is followed by a rapid decrease in serum levels of IGF-1 and decreased levels of IGF-1 have been associated with development of severemorbidity. A recent clinical trial indicated that supplementation with IGF-1 prevented development of severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in extremely preterm infa

Context. The solar vicinity is currently populated by a mix of stars with various chemo-dynamic properties, including stars with a high metallicity compared to the Sun. Dynamical processes such as churning and blurring are expected to relocate such metal-rich stars from the inner Galaxy to the solar region. Aims. We report the identification of a set of old super-metal-rich (+0.15 ≤ [Fe/H] ≤ +0.50

Alloys and bimetallic systems have shown many advantages in heterogeneous catalysis, but the details of their catalytic functions are not always known. For instance, the atomic details about surface reconstructions under catalytic reaction conditions, or which phases that are high-active or low-active. Furthermore, the model catalysts studied in laboratories often differ a lot from the industrial

The main focus of this thesis was to evaluate the possibility of establishing a wastewater treatment model for the main COD removal parts in the water line of Sjölunda Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) located in Malmö, in southern Sweden. The finalised model was used to simulate an increased load of on average 5,000 population equivalents (P.E.) per year due to population growth in Malmö. The aim

Det svenska samhället har under längre tid sett ut så att skyddet för familjelivet, den privata sfären, vägt tyngre än ett offentligrättsligt styrande. Den rättsliga utvecklingen har dock under tid varit föränderlig och lagstiftaren har vägt in parametrar som att barn kan vara utsatta i familjelivet där de som skall ta hand om dem är de som utsätter barnen för skadliga handlingar. Enligt FN:s barnSwedish society has for some time looked to the protection of family life, private life, weighed heavier than a public ruling. The legal development, however, has been changing over time, and the legislature has weighed in parameters that children can be exposed in family life where those who must care for them are those who expose children to harmful acts. According to the UNCRC, the child's

Det har på senare tid skett framsteg inom neurovetenskaplig forskning som skapat möjligheter för ett nytt ämnesområde inom juridiken, neurojuridik. Forskningen om neurojuridik sker främst i USA och en särskilt omdebatterad fråga där är om neurovetenskapliga lögndetektorer ska få användas i straffprocessen. Det finns även två privata bolag i USA som för närvarande lanserar den neurovetenskapliga löThe recent developments in neuroscience research have made it possible for a new field to emerge within law, neurolaw. Most of the research on neurolaw takes place in the United States and one intensively debated issue there is whether or not neuroscience-based lie detection should be allowed in criminal cases. There are currently two American private companies advertising the neuroscience-based l

Från och med att en myndighet beslutar att upphandla en vara eller en tjänst fram till att ett kontrakt tilldelas en vinnande leverantör styrs myndighetens agerande av ett detaljerat regelverk, vilket för den klassiska sektorn i första hand består om lagen om offentlig upphandling (SFS 2016:1145). Kontraktstilldelningen utgör startskottet på en avtalsrelation mellan myndigheten och leverantören däFrom the moment a government entity makes the decision to initiate a procurement procedure until that procedure is finalized through the award of a contract to a winning supplier, the procuring entity’s course of action is regulated in great detail by relevant public procurement legislation which for Swedish contracting authorities primarily consists of primarily law (2016:1145) on public procurem

In today’s fast moving business environment, organisational change is considered a key requisite to remain competitive, however, organisational change can be a double-edged sword as it can create difficulties for individuals in their identity work carried out in the organisation. Moreover, how individuals conduct their identity work in an organisation can amongst other factors be affected by disco

Människohandel är ett globalt fenomen som förekommer över i stort sett hela världen. Sverige är på intet sätt förskonat från denna cyniska verksamhet, utan har tvärt om visats sig utgöra en lukrativ marknad för människohandlare. Detta då det finns en efterfrågan på de tjänster som verksamheten tillhandahåller, framför allt de av sexuell karaktär. I denna framställning undersöks den svenska konstruHuman trafficking is a global phenomenon that occurs all over the world. Sweden is by no means spared from this cynical practice. On the contrary, the country has shown to be a lucrative market for traffickers. A reason for this is the major demand for the services that trafficking provides, especially those of a sexual nature. This presentation examines the legal construction of the human traffic

Uppgiftsskydd och marknadsexklusivitet är två nya immaterialrättsliga skydd till fördel för forskande läkemedelsföretag. Dessa skydd utgör komplement till bland annat patent och upphovsrätt och syftar till att skydda läkemedelsföretagens produkter från konkurrens. Uppgiftsskydd och marknadsexklusivitet har funnits i EU:s lagstiftning sedan 1987 men har först de senaste åren fått en ökad betydelse Data exclusivity and marketing exclusivity are two new forms intellectual property rights, for the benefit of pharmaceutical companies. They constitute a complement to other IPRs, including patent and copyright, and are intended to provide new pharmaceutical products with a limited time of protection against competition. Data exclusivity and marketing exclusivity has been a part of EU legislation

Sedan EU bildades har unionen haft en central roll för att integrera medlemsstaterna och har också som en effekt av detta haft ett ökande inflytande på medlemsstaternas nationella lagstiftning. Dessutom har denna utveckling lett till juridiska överväganden avseende hur EU:s författningar ska tolkas och verkställas och hur denna integration ska kunna säkerställas. Det finns fyra friheter i EU-fördr

The state of Akwa Ibom, Nigeria is known as one of the wetlands rich in biodiversity as well as oil and gas reserves. Its wetland ecosystem is noted for its primary support it has provided for the people living in this area. However, this wetland has also been a reservoir for Nigeria’s crude oil contributing a prominent share of petroleum product to the country’s GDP, total revenue to the governme

I ett samhälle där bilismen ökar blir en mer hållbar bilism allt viktigare. Sverige har satt upp som mål att ha en fossiloberoende fordonsflotta till 2030 och en helt fossilfri fordonsflotta till 2050. För att kunna uppnå detta spelar elbilen en viktig roll. Genom intervjuer med olika aktörer på den svenska marknaden visas i detta examensarbete att en stor tilltro sätts till elbilen, vid sidan av In a society with growing car mobility, sustainable motorism becomes increasingly important. Sweden has set targets of having a fossil fuel independent vehicle fleet by 2030 and a fossil free vehicle fleet by 2050.In order to reach these targets the electric car plays an important role. Through interviews with different actors on the Swedish market, this thesis shows that much confidence is put in

Three-dimensional (3D) models are widely used within the geosciences to provide scientists with conceptual and quantitative models of the earth’s subsurface. As a result, 3D geologic modelling is a growing field, such that scientific research often cannot keep up with technical advancements. Literature often shows conflicting results with respect to which interpolation algorithms produce the best

The interaction of a solid target with an ultra-high intensity laser pulse can result in the laser plasma acceleration of ions. The recent proposal of a new laser plasma ion acceleration scheme, named chirped standing wave acceleration, has created interest in a new class of ultra-thin solid target materials, either freestanding or as a part of novel compound targets. In this thesis, it is assesse

I detta arbete behandlas tre kategorier av ingrepp: omskärelse, könsstympning och estetisk intimkirurgi. Dessa tre regleras mycket olika inom svensk rätt. Den estetiska intimkirurgin är tillåten och möjlig att genomgå efter att personen som ska undergå ingreppet har fyllt 18 år. Omskärelser är även de tillåtna, och en sådan är möjlig att genomgå på egen begäran som myndig, såväl som på föräldrars This work deals with three categories of procedures: circumcision, female genital mutilation and aesthetic genital surgery. These three are regulated very differently in Swedish law. Aesthetic intimate surgery is permitted and possible to undergo after the person who is to undergo the procedure has turned 18 years old. Circumcision is also permitted, and is possible to undergo at one's own req

Media literacy has been described as the ability of a citizen to access, critically analyze, and produce media content for specific outcomes. It also involves an awareness of the impact of media in the society and an understanding of media processes. More so, there are scholarly views that suggest that media literacy is a foundational skill for democracy. Here, the focus is not only on a media lit

In an effort to mitigate global climate change, the REDD+ mechanism (an acronym for ‘Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stock’) continues to be put forward as an attractive carbon sequestration and forest conservation tool. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), hosting m

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: När skedde Santoriniutbrottet : datering i ett isborrkärneperspektiv. Under sen bronsålder skedde ett av historiens största vulkanutbrott på Santorini, Grekland. Utbrottet hade ödesdigra konsekvenser för den Minoiska civilisationen som levde i området. För arkeologer som arbetar i regionen är utbrottet en mycket viktig tidsmarkering eftersom utbrottet var en stoThe Santorini eruption is one of the greatest in historic time and an important time marker in the regional archaeology. It has been dated to 1627-1600 BC (2σ error) using radiocarbon dating (Friedrich et al. 2006) and to 1642±5 BC by identifying a volcanic fallout layer in the Greenland ice cores (Vinther et al. 2006). However, archaeologists have estimated the eruption almost a century later tha
