Harvesting beach-cast can help mitigate marine eutrophication by closing land-marine nutrient loops and provide a blue biomass raw material for the bioeconomy. Cost–benefit analysis was applied to harvest activities during 2009–2018 on the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea, highlighting benefits such as nutrient removal from the marine system and improved recreational opportunities as well as co
The planning of facilities to improve the environment is often carried through in the form of locally based construction projects. These projects can be complex, involving a variety of issues and a number of different actors from both the public and private sectors. By drawing on previous research on project planning, an analytical model for analysing the issues connected with the planning and imp
Capability assessments are used in disaster risk management to facilitate decision making regarding capability increasing measures. Recent studies suggest that two factors might determine their usefulness for decision making: whether they include descriptions of an actor's available resources, and how well the actor can accomplish a specific task in case of a disaster. The experimental study prese
Previous research has established that organizations as well as TMTs tend to be homogeneous. It has, however, suggested three different explanations by which such homosocial reproduction occurs, i.e. existing individuals tending to reproduce their own characteristics in the selection decisions they make. One explanation regards the organization level, arguing that persons similar to the organizati
The academic discourse on the need for a shared political public sphere at the level of the European Union has in recent years produced the conventional wisdom that such an emerging transnational community of communication is already observable in the mass media. However, the empirical indicators on which this notion is based tend to accommodate parallel national public spheres rather than a genui
Debating the role of literature, and poetry in particular, in foreign language teaching (FLT), many scholars underscore the enormous potential represented by literature when it comes to developing the students’ critical thinking, analytical skills, ability to understand other cultures and emphatic attitude. Nevertheless, poetry represents a challenge within foreign language teaching. Focusing on m
Sedan 2014 gäller lagen (2014:307) om straff för penningtvättsbrott (hädanefter PTBL). Gentemot tidigare straffrättslig reglering kring penningtvätt fanns en uppfattning om att åklagaren behövde bevisa ett konkret förbrott för att straffansvar skulle aktualiseras. Svårigheter att bevisa förbrott föranledde införandet av ett mer omfattande rekvisit. I 3 och 4 §§ PTBL krävs numera att egendom ”härröSince 2014, the Money Laundering Offences Act (hereafter the MLO Act) applies. In relation to the previous criminal law regulation regarding money laundering the perception was that the prosecutor had to prove a certain predicate offence for criminal liability. Difficulties in proving the predicate offence induced the adoption of a more comprehensive necessary prerequisite. Henceforth, section 3 a
Varje år ges tusentals barn och unga insatser inom ramen för den svenska samhällsvården. Placeringar i bland annat familjehem, på HVB, SiS-hem eller i det egna hemmet utgör en väsentlig del av samhällets vård till denna utsatta grupp. Vid ett tvångsomhändertagande inom ramen för LVU är det socialnämnden som enligt 11 § första stycket LVU ska besluta var barnet eller den unga ska placeras. Nämndens
Terrorism och bekämpningen av den är ett alltid lika relevant ämne. Efter den 11 september 2001 var det en stor uppslutning bland det internationella samfundet och det slöts flera överenskommelser både i Förenta nationerna och senare även på EU-nivå. Det är dessa överenskommelser som lade grunden till den svenska lagstiftningen mot terrorism. De senaste åren har Sverige valt en ny metod i kampen m
The interest in adiponutrin stems from adiponutrin variant I148M, which is strongly associated to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Adiponutrin has to date been considered to be solely an intracellular protein, with a role in lipid metabolism in liver and adipose tissue. However, a physiologically relevant role for adiponutrin has not been found. The aim of this study was to investigate the prese
