The main aim of this study is to examine if norms ba

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur energiskogsodlingar är placerade i landskapet i förhållande till skogsmark, vägar och vatten och hur de fördelar sig mellan olika jordbruksproduktionsområden. Detta med fokus på energiskogssorterna salix, poppel och hybridasp i Sverige under tidsperioden 2000 till 2013. Arbetet baseras dels på en litteraturstudie och dels på GIS-analyser. Studiens resu

The aim of our study was to examine how staff, working with unaccompanied refugee children experience their work and the children’s integration to the society. Many previous studies in the same field have often focused on the young refugees, how they perceive their situation and how they perceive the integration work. Our study is based on a qualitative research strategy and we used semi-structure

Anteciperat avtalsbrott, även så kallat befarat avtalsbrott regleras i bestämmelserna 61-63 §§ KöpL. För att kunna hålla inne sin prestation krävs det att starka skäl ska föreligger följt av ett flertal rekvisit, till exempel att det ska röra sig om en viss väsentlighet. Det ska med andra ord finnas starka misstankar om att motparten inte kommer att uppfylla en väsentlig del av sina prestationer. Anticipated breach of contract, also known as feared breach of contract, is regulated in provisions 61-63 §§ KöpL. In order to be able to withhold performance, it is required that there must be strong reasons followed by a number of prerequisites, for example, it must be of a certain materiality. In other words, there must be strong suspicions that the counterparty will not fulfill a substantial p

Den globala klimatkrisen innebär betydande sociala utmaningar och hotar biologisk mångfald. Klimatförändringar ökar sårbarheten i kustområden, vilket leder till ökad erosion och översvämningar. Naturbaserade lösningar (NbS) erbjuder en mångfacetterad metod för att adressera dessa problem. Denna masteruppsats granskar användningen av NbS för kustskydd i Bjärred, i södra Sverige, och kommunens strat

A growing field of research links natural environments to increased human well-being. These benefits are especially valuable for people in the process of regaining health, for instance those who are in hospitals. Through reviewing planning documents and interviewing key actors, this thesis explores how natural environments are incorporated in the planning of a future hospital in Helsingborg, Swede

As shown by transgenic mouse models and by using phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) inhibitors, PDE3B has an important role in the regulation of insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. However, very little is known about the regulation of the enzyme. Here, we show that PDE3B is activated in response to high glucose, insulin and cAMP elevation in rat pancreatic islets and INS-1 (832/13) cells. Activation

Socially the context of archaeology is supposed to have travelled from kings, princes and aristocracy down to the bourgeoisie and the middle class. However members of the royal family still have a central role as it is seen from the current exhibition “Queen Margrethe II and archaeology” on Moesgård Museum at Århus and the National Museum in Copenhagen. The aim is here to examine the royal archaeo

It is widely accepted that firms in peripheral regions benefit to a lesser extent from local knowledge spillovers than firms located in agglomerations or industrial clusters. This paper investigates the extent to which innovative firms in peripheral regions compensate for the lack of access to local knowledge spillovers by collaborating at other geographical scales. So far the literature predomina

The new European Commission took office on 1 November 2014, with a number of structural changes including the creation of a First Vice-President, a responsibility given to the former Dutch Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans. The First Vice-President will ensure that every Commission proposal respects the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality. If the Commission pays more attention to the pr

This book provides the reader with a broad policy analysis of a main set of tools aimed at realising an increasingly appreciated aspect of late modern democracy: green political consumerism. The authors illustrate and explain how green labels and other eco-standards are created and negotiated within a broad continuum between science and politics, by addressing political, regulatory, discursive, an
