Fastigheter anses på grund av dess unika egenskaper att vara en av de bästa skattebaserna, och i takt med globaliseringens acceleration blir betydelsen av skatteintäkter från denna skattebas allt större. I Sverige har skatteuttaget från denna skattebas trendvis minskat med åren, något som sticker ut på ett internationell plan. Syftet med rapporten är att jämföra olika fastighetsbeskattningsmodell

Bhutan is the world’s most mountainous country which comes with some logistical difficulties. Due to slow transportation times and lackluster food preservation are the post-harvest losses high which especially affects the rural parts of Bhutan negatively. Solar Food: Reducing post-harvest losses through improved solar drying, is a project set out to design a low-cost solar powered food dryer to im

Increased average temperatures, rising sea levels and heat waves are some examples of the consequences of climate change. Cities are particularly vulnerable to climate-related events due to their structure and lack of green and blue spaces causing negative impacts on both the environment and public health. Children are one of the most sensitive groups to heat waves and they spend plenty of time in

With climate change resulting from a history of uncontrolled greenhouse gas emissions, all parts of society now need to take action - maybe most importantly the private sector. Since 2015 the Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative has committed over 5000 companies worldwide to heavily reduce their total emissions at a pace that scientists deem necessary for average global temperature rise to stay

Each year children and adults are injured in accidents caused by chemicals, usually due to incorrect use of the products. Studies have shown that children are more sensitive to chemical products and injuries that occur during childhood could cause lifelong consequences. In order to prevent accidents caused by chemicals it is important to label and package these products appropriately in accordance

Large and old trees provide important habitat structures and support a high diversity of species. Habitat continuity and landscape connectivity is crucial for species associated with oaks. Fragmentation, agriculture intensification and changed forest management has caused a reduction of old and large oaks, which threatens the long-term persistence of oak associated species by reducing habitat cont

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays an essential role in the biogeochemistry and ecology of surface waters by influencing carbon cycle and microbial respiration. DOC is related to CO2 emissions from inland waters that can be compared to emissions of peatlands and DOC decay is influenced by environmental factors. Traditional methods used to measure DOC decay do not account for environmental factor

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för stora utsläpp av växthusgaser från byggnadsmaterial- och energianvändning. Byggbranschen står idag för ca en femtedel av Sveriges totala koldioxidutsläpp. Ett område med stor potential är byggnadsmaterial där IsoTimber är ett av företagen som driver utvecklingen framåt. IsoTimber är en relativt ny aktör inom byggsektorn som tillverkar prefabricerade väggar i tr

Barn kan tillhandahållas sociala insatser på frivillig eller tvingande väg, genom socialtjänstlagen respektive LVU. Insatserna ska i första hand vidtas på frivil-lig väg och socialnämnden har, i syfte att kunna stödja barn som är i behov av insatser men vars föräldrar inte samtycker till sådana, givits möjlighet att till-handahålla insatser till barn utifrån barnets eget samtycke. Sedan år 2023 kaChildren can be provided social assistance in a voluntary or an imperative manner through the Social Services Act or the Care of Young Persons Act, respectively.
