Från år 2021 ska alla nybyggnationer i Europa vara nära-nollenergibyggnader. Detta innebär att byggnaders energianvändning bör vara låg och i mycket hög grad tillförs i form från förnybara energikällor som produceras på plats eller i närheten. Syftet med de höga energikraven är att påskynda takten för att skapa ett mer energieffektivt byggande. Den minskade energianvändningen tillsam-mans med en öFrom year 2021, all new buildings in Europe will be net zero-energy buildings. This means that the building's energy is supplied from renewable energy sources that are produced on site or nearby. The purpose of the high energy requirements is to accelerate the pace of creating more energy-efficient constructions. The reduced energy consumption, together with increased use of renewable energy,

Inom byggbranschen ställs det högre och högre krav och fler mål sätts upp för att förbättra miljö- och hållbarhetsarbetet, detta då branschen idag står för en stor del av Sveriges miljöpåverkan. Den främsta anledningen till dess höga belastning på miljön är det genererade avfallet som branschen idag står för ca en tredjedel av det genererade avfallet i landet. En observation som gjorts är att mängHigher demands are being placed and more goals are set up to help improve the environmental and sustainability work in the construction industry. This in order to help minimize the impact on the environment from one of the industries with the highest impact in Sweden today. The main reason for the high strain on the environment is the generated waste, which the construction industry stands for abo

Abstract Background: There is growing concern in Sweden about health inequity and unequal access to traditional primary healthcare among different socio-economic groups, predominantly immigrants. The use of information and communication technology in the health sector has been suggested as a potential tool to overcome healthcare accessibility and equity. Digital primary healthcare in Sweden was in

Skadeståndsprocesser mot styrelseledamöter har historiskt varit ovanliga i Sverige men antalet fall har ökat på senare år. Styrelseledamöters skadeståndsansvar regleras i 29 kap. 1 § aktiebolagslagen (ABL) och av särskilt intresse för denna framställning är de fall där styrelseledamöterna orsakat skada för bolaget genom dåliga affärsbeslut. I USA skyddas styrelseledamöter i dessa fall av business Claims for damages against board members have historically been unusual in Sweden but have started to increase in recent years. The responsibility of board members is regulated in the 29th chapter 1 § of the Swedish Companies Act (SCA) and of particular interest for this essay are the cases where the board has caused damage upon the company through bad business decisions. In such cases in the US,

Swedish cities are getting denser. People spend a lot of time indoors, it therefore becomes important to guarantee daylight availability and solar access in buildings, in order to save energy and ensure human well-being. However, this becomes important in the case of outdoor spaces as well. Outdoor spaces can become places that invite people to stay. Thus, spending less time indoors, having as a p

I svensk gällande rätt kan svaranden medge kärandens talan och på så vis hindra att en domstol prövar tvisten i sak även om käranden får en dom i enlighet med sitt medgivna yrkande. Principen om effektivt domstolsskydd, som bland annat finns nedtecknad i artikel 47 i EU-stadgan, ställer dock ett krav på att enskilda har en ”rätt till effektivt rättsmedel inför domstol”. Detta har tolkats i doktrinIn Swedish applicable law, a respondent is able to concede to the applicant’s claim in a way that prevents a judicial review even if the judgement that follows is in compliance with the applicant’s conceded claim. The principle of effective judicial protection, for example codified in article 47 CFREU, demands that individuals have a “right to an effective remedy before a tribunal”. This has been

Robots have become important for the development of today’s society. They are known to obtain good accuracy and repeatability of tasks that either complement or replace human labour. Furthermore, as machine-learning is emerging in many technologies, it is important to consider the uncertainties that are introduced when this method is used in robotics. This work aims at developing and evaluating a

Rubber materials, preferably referred to as elastomers, are used in a wide variety of engineering applications, thanks to their unique properties and characteristics. Fluid channels between the plates of Alfa Laval’s heat exchangers are sealed with different types of elastomers, called gaskets. Gaskets are exposed to both chemical, physical and mechanical stresses during their lifetime, affecting

Older women have long been invisible and marginalized in society and culture at large because of the ‘gendered’ ageist stereotypes towards them. Especially, ageist stereotypes towards older women have been reinforced by their invisibility and stereotypical portrayals in traditional media. However, with the rise of social media, elderly women have become visible in society bypassing the gatekeepers

Disturbances of interatrial conduction are linked to supraventricular arrhythmias. Previous studies have shown that these disturbances can be detected non-invasively as distinctive appearances of the orthogonal P wave using signal-averaged P-wave analysis (PSAECG). Orthogonal recordings (VCG) are however scarce in clinical practice for practical reasons. The aim of the presented study was to explo

In the spring of 2008 the municipality of Malmö initiated a small-scale project called "SpontanLab" in which the local cultural department issued SEK 1 million to fund a "laboratory for spontaneous culture". This meant paying social scientists to produce knowledge that could be economically, socially and culturally useful, as well as politically useful to the elected red-green

Denna studie syftar till att fastställa det normala inflödet av extraterrestrisk kromit till jorden. Resultaten från undersökningen jämförs med tidigare studier av mellanordovicisk orthoceratitkalksten, i vilken 1 - 3 extraterrestriska kromitkorn ( >63 ƒÊm ) påträffats per kilogram kalksten. Dessa halter har tolkats som bevis på ett hundrafalt ökat inflöde av utomjordiskt material till jorden undeThis study aims to assess the normal inflow of extraterrestrial chromite to Earth. The results from the investigation are compared to earlier studies of middle Ordovician Orthoceratite Limestone in which 1 - 3 extraterrestrial chromite grains ( >63 ƒÊm ) per kilogram limestone were found. These values have been interpreted as evidence of a two orders of magnitude increase in the flux of extraterre

The frequent replacement of office furniture contributes to the increasing production of solid waste that leads to the use of more landfill space. Germany only produces approximately 700000 t of office furniture waste per year whereas most of this waste goes to landfill or incin-eration (Nolte, 2001). In addition, there are concerns about the use of hazardous chemicals in office furniture producti

As a major step to development, countries try to implement e-government and encouraging the public to use e-services instead of traditional ways. It is obvious that adoption of e-government has increased in many countries over the world, but the rate of adoption varies from country to country, and also the factors which are affecting the adoption of e-government differ from developing countries to

The aim of this master’s thesis, as suggested by the title, is to study the usage of film in cultural history exhibitions. The subject arouse from queries such as: why are films so often included in cultural history exhibitions? And what do the films provide the visitors with? The thesis sees a distinct difference between the use of film in cultural history museums and the use of film in art museu

Uppsatsen behandlar internprissättning av koncerninterna lån i ljuset av den svenska rätten. Internpriset är det pris ett visst bolag, eller en viss del av ett företag, debiterar ett närstående företag i en annan jurisdiktion för varor och tjänster som köpts. Grundregeln är att sådan prissättning skall ske på en nivå som motsvarar den två oberoende parter hade enats om under liknande omständigheteThe paper deals with transfer pricing of inter-company loans with regards to the Swedish law. The transfer price is the price at a certain company or a certain part of a company, charges a related company in another jurisdiction for goods and services purchased. The fundamental rule is that such pricing shall be on a level corresponding to the one which two independent parties would have agreed up

Fysiska och juridiska personer är i någon form av förhållande med varandra baserat på olika omständigheter. När två parter är oense om en fråga vill de givetvis lösa situationen på något sätt. Denna lösning ligger för många hos statliga domstolar där den ena parten stämmer den andra parten vid tingsrätten som första instans. I vissa tänkta utfall är förhållandet baserat på ett avtal som parterna Natural and legal persons are in some form of relationship with each other based on different circumstances. When two parties disagree about an issue, they naturally want to resolve the situation in some way. For many, this solution lies with state courts where one party sues the other party at the district court as first instance. In some scenarios, the relationship is based on a contract that t
