Ungefär en tredjedel av Sveriges befolkning är friluftsaktiva i skog- och mark minst en gång i veckan. Detta intresse ökar för varje år, och under Covid-19-pandemin nådde andelen friluftsintresserade nya höjder där femtio procent av Sveriges totala befolkning aktivt deltog i utomhusaktiviteter. Men, även fast intresse för utemiljöer och naturupplevelser finns, har alla inte samma möjlighet att ta About a third of Sweden's population is active outdoors in forests and fields at least once a week. This interest increases every year, and during the Covid-19 pandemic the percentage of people interested in the outdoors reached new heights where fifty percent of Sweden's total population actively participated in outdoor activities. But, even if there is a strong interest in outdoor enviro

The world of today is characterized by enormous flows of various kinds of information. People are engaged in vast interactions, irrespective of nationality, culture or mother tongue. On the political scene an increased openness and extended international co-operation are obvious signs of the times. In Europe the co-operation within the EU, which soon is about to comprise more nations and thereby

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Drunkningsrisk för skogen? Att mängden vatten i marken är viktig för att granen ska kunna ha så god tillväxt som möjligt är ingen nyhet. Är det för fuktigt drunknar rötterna, på grund av att de inte får en tillräckligt mycket syre. I denna studie har två markberedningsmetoder, högläggning och ingen markberedning, jämförts för att se vilket alternativ som är mestNorway spruce is a coniferous tree with many different fields of application. For an example, they are used as Christmas trees, decoration and as timber or pulpwood. The reason why many foresters in Sweden tend to choose spruce as their main species for plantation is partly because of their fast growth rate and partly because the main products are derived from the actual tree trunks. In the forest

Human trafficking is the world’s third largest organized crime after the illegal trade in arms and drugs. It is a growing problem in our increasingly globalized world and people are daily transported between countries to be exploited for different purposes. Not even Sweden is spared from this cynical business, although we may not hear much about it. The aim of this study was to investigate how Swe

This thesis studies the very cornerstone of the international refugee law-the principle of non-refoulement. Since its introduction in the 1951 Convention, this principle has played a key role in the protection of refugees. Last 50 years have generated many questions and various interpretations of the scope of the Article 33 of the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees. States have tried to get

Cities are being increasingly recognized internationally for their importance in addressing climate change. The 21st century has already seen the world population shift to being primarily urban and this trend is expected to continue. In order to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow, municipalities must find ways to effectively govern their transitions to being sustainable and liveable for the

Att Sverige har problem med långa häktningstider är allvarligt med tanke på häktningens karaktär som det mest ingripande av alla tvångsmedel. En av orsakerna till de långa häktningstiderna är att det ofta tar lång tid att får analyssvaren från de kriminaltekniska undersökningarna. Det är vanligt förekommande att åklagaren behöver begära att en misstänkte ska kvarbli i häkte med hänvisning till attThe length if detention periods in Sweden is a serious issue due to detention being the most intrusive of all coercive measures. One of the reasons behind long detention periods is that forensic investigations often are delayed. It is common that the prosecutor has to request continued detention because of forensic investigations not being completed. This essay investigated the questions of to wha

Iron is an important material in the study of societies of the Iron Age and later periods. Not only does it give its name to the period it was also an integrated part in every humans’ life from the Iron Age and forward. And yet this material is many times just assumed to be there without much consideration of how it got there. In this master thesis, the author thus tries to bridge this gap in betw

I svensk rätt finns bestämmelser om skadebegräsning 70 § köplagen. Att bedöma huruvida denna skadebegränsningsplikt ska gälla också utomobligatoriskt har genom åren vållat rättsvetenskapsmännen vissa bekymmer. Denna framställning har till syfte att undersöka och klargöra innebörden av skadebegränsningsplikten i svensk rätt. Särskilt fokus ligger här på de lojalitetshänsyn som anses motivera skadebIn Swedish law there are provisions on mitigation in Section 70 of the Sale of Goods act. The assessment of whether this mitigation obligation should also apply non-contractually has caused legal scientists some concerns over the years. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and clarify the meaning of the obligation to mitigate your losses in Swedish law. Particular attention is given to the

Innan nuvarande skollag trätt i kraft uttryckte många lärare en osäkerhet kring vilka åtgärder som får vidtas för att komma tillrätta med akuta ordningsstörande situationer. Högsta domstolen efterlyste samtidigt att lagstiftaren skulle ta klar ställning kring frågan om tillåtligheten av kroppsliga ingrepp mot elever och vid behov införa uttryckliga regler om detta. Riksdagen antog den nya skollage

Organizational strategists are working on their company’s ability to absorb and transfer knowledge between organizational units, their so-called absorptive capacity, to better react to environmental changes and, hence, strengthen their sustainable competitive advantage. In particular, the sharing of tacit know-how is considered to be difficult because it is contextual and experience-based, and, th

Cell Death Detection in Images What if we could kill cancer cells? The fact is that we already can, at least to some extent. Many cancer treatments targets cancer cells and kill them by causing them to commit suicide. To be able to do this even better, and minimize adverse effects, information about the biological regulation behind cell death needs to be known, and far from everything has been di

I syfte att skydda medborgare från övergrepp begångna av staten har ett antal europeiska länder undertecknat Europakonventionen. De fri- och rättigheter som Europakonventionen består av är allmänt formulerade och för deras efterlevnad ansvar både de länder som undertecknat konventionen och den Europeiska domstolen. Europakonventionens rättsliga status i Sverige var till en början osäker. SvenskaIn order to protect citizens from abuse commited by the state several European countries signed the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) in the aftermath of World War II. The rights and freedoms which the Convention consisted of was generally formulated. Both signatory countries and the European Court of Human Rights was responsible for its enforcement. Although Sweden was one of the origin

An upcoming trend in the current IT-landscape is to outsource services to so called Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). However, many companies are still sceptical to this new kind of services, since they bring about a certain loss of control. For this reason, it is important for CSPs to show that their services are secure. There are several options in proving this and it is up to every CSP to choose

Resandet med tåg har ökat stadigt i Sverige de senaste 30 åren. Takten har varit cirka två-tre procent per år, och vi nu har mer än dubbelt så många resenärer. Med ökat fokus på klimatfrågan stiger resandet nu ännu snabbare. Ett problem som drabbar både resenärer och företag i Sverige är tågförseningar. Ett sätt att beskriva dessa är den andel av alla tåg som kommer fram mer än fem minuter för sen

The role of time-dependent freezing of ice nucleating particles (INPs) is evaluated with the “Aerosol–Cloud” (AC) model in 1) deep convection observed over Oklahoma during the Midlatitude Continental Convective Cloud Experiment (MC3E), 2) orographic clouds observed over North California during the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Cloud Aerosol Precipitation Experiment (ACAPEX), and 3) super

Background. Over five billion people worldwide lack access to safe and affordable surgery and anesthesia care when required. There is a critical unmet need for surgical care, especially in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). The shortage of surgical providers is one of the most influential barriers to receiving surgical care, and the maldistribution is aggravated by doctors emigrating

Abstract Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) in the groin after vascular surgery is common and deep perivascular infection leads to long periods of hospitalization, sometimes to amputation and/or death. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is increasingly used for treating wounds such as deep perivascular groin infections after vascular surgery, but there is no scientific evidence supporti

The prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasing continuously worldwide. These metabolic diseases are associated with many health issues, including increased risk of depression and cognitive impairment. Whole grain (WG) has shown potential to prevent obesity, T2D and CVD. One mechanism can be related to gut fermentation of specific indigestible carboh
