Various policy instruments and policy reforms are being implemented to encourage Green Growth and Green Economy. However, comprehensive ex-post evaluation policy methods have yet to be developed. The emerging literature shows that there is substantial ambiguity and discrepancy about how to measure the performance of policy instruments driving a Green Economy in general and, in our case, a Green En
The aim of the thesis is to develop a model, based on well known physical and empirical formulas, to simulate the heat load on a rink of artificially frozen ice. A comparison of the results from this model and the results from other methods to determine heat load of the rink is made. The model calculates the heat load from convection, long wave radiation from the air temperature and from the sky t

Network operators and service providers around the world are making significant investments in order to deliver digital video content to their subscribers.

This thesis asks the question “How do government-initiated local referendums affect citizens’ perceptions of democracy?”. In the theoretical discussion, direct democratic theory is found to be inadequate in studying the effects of government-initiated referendums. Since the referendums are government-initiated, that negates the important aspect of bypassing elites. The referendum democracy concept

Tidigare studier har visat att arbetsrelaterad stress är ett ökande problem, med kopplingar till psykisk ohälsa, samtidigt som fysisk aktivitet kan bidra till minskad upplevd stress. I denna studie har 194 uthyrda konsulter på ett bemanning- och rekryteringsföretag i Sverige studerats för att kartlägga deras upplevda arbetsrelaterade stress samt fysiska aktivitetsnivå. Arbetsrelaterad stress har
Previous findings on the subject of Class Biased Economic Voting (CBEV) suggests that voters who are not among the wealthiest elite respond positively, in terms of probability of voting for the incumbent party or president, to income growth among the wealthiest 5% of households, and more so than to mean income growth. The aim of this paper is to explore if this type of bias voting is due to voters
En konsuments påstående om att en köpt vara lämnats kvar i butiken efter köpet i syfte att näringsidkaren ska utföra arbeten på varan, kan betraktas som ett påstående om antingen ett blandavtal eller två separata avtal. Förutsatt att näringsidkaren menar att konsumenten fått med sig varan i samband med köpet kommer konsumenten att åläggas bevisbördan för att en överenskommelse om tjänst ingåtts. DA consumer’s claim that a purchased item has been left in the store after the purchase, in order for the trader to carry out works on the goods, may be regarded as a claim about either a mixed agreement or two separate agreements. Provided that the trader claims that the consumer has brought the goods in connection to the purchase, the consumer will be required to bear the burden of proof that an
Det här examensarbetet har till avsikt att fördjupa och aktualisera kunskapen om vilka skolvägsutredningsmetoder som är bäst lämpade för att klarlägga en förbättrad trafikmiljö för barn. Arbetet består av två huvuddelar: den ena är en litteraturstudie som granskar tidigare kunskap inom området kring skolvägsutredningar och den andra delen består av skolvägsutredning via en digital respektive tradiThe aim of this master thesis is to study differences and similarities between two methods of investigation regarding children’s travel to school; a digital survey and a paper-based survey.

Barnamordsbrottet ansågs under 1600-talet i Sverige vara den mest samhällsfarliga handling som kunde begås och gav lagstiftaren något vi idag skulle kalla som moralpanik. Moralen låg i att värna äktenskapet genom att fördöma de som ingick sexuella relationer innan äktenskapets ingående. Paniken kan illustreras genom att allt strängare straff och till slut oåterkalleliga straff utdömdes. Nya laga
