The aim of this master thesis is to conclude how the energy systems of smart cities can be designed to achieve an annual net-zero energy consumption. The study investigated different techniques that can be used for producing and storing energy locally. This was implemented on a planned residential project located in Veberöd, south of Scania. Hence, the heating and domestic hot water demand were ba
Purpose: The aim is to apply technology acceptance research on elderlies’ use of digital services during a global pandemic, where risks associated with the corresponding physical alternatives are obvious but use is voluntary. By examining constructs based on a modified UTAUT2 framework, the following research question will be answered: Which factors influence elderlies' intention to use digita
Under senare år har arbetet mot organiserad brottslighet i Sverige trappats upp. I september 2019 lanserades 34-punktsprogrammet, ett åtgärdspaket innehållande en rad förslag på åtgärder att vidta i syfte att bekämpa den organiserade brottsligheten. Inom ramen för detta program har frågan om att utvidga den interimistiska beslutsordningen beträffande hemliga tvångsmedel blivit aktuell. Förevarand
Syftet med detta examensarbete är klargöra gällande rätt för beskattning av styrelsearvoden. Ämnet har varit föremål för ett flertal avgöranden av HFD under en längre tid och nu senast ett plenumavgörande, följt av efterföljande resningsprövning. Frågan är komplex och kan sägas dels innefatta hur styrelsearvodet ska allokeras till ett skattesubjekt, dels till vilket inkomstslag den uppburna inkomsThe purpose of this thesis is to bring clarity to the established law concerning taxation of board fees.

The issue is a complex one and can be said to consist of two components. The first being which taxable person t
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur ett aktiebolags utgifter hänförliga till klimatkompensation behandlas vid inkomstbeskattning. För att uppnå detta syfte tillämpas en traditionell rättsdogmatisk metod. Lagtexten innehåller inte någon särskild reglering avseende avdragsrätt för klimatkompensationsutgifter, vilket resulterar i att bedömningen baseras på de allmänna reglerna om avdragsrätThe purpose of this essay is to investigate how limited liability companies’ expenses related to carbon offset are treated in the event of income taxation. To accomplish this purpose a legal dogmatic method has been applied. The law contains no specific regulation concerning the deductibility of costs attributable to carbon offset and, as a result, the assessment is made based on the general rules
Öring: Populär värdfisk för Vramsåns flodpärlmusslor Flodpärlmusslan är en av de äldsta djurarterna i Sverige och kan leva över 100 år. Den äldsta flodpärlmusslan hittades i Görjeån och var 280 år gammal. Det latinska namnet margaritifera margaritifera betyder pärlbärare och är en ytterligare fascinerande egenskap hos denna art. När ett främmande föremål, till exempel ett sandkorn, transporteras The freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera has dramatically declined through its entire distribution range since the 1900’s. Despite the increasing conservation measures implemented to protect the species, many populations are still endangered. The long-term objective of this research, realized in collaboration with Lund University and the Life Connects project, was to raise the succe
This essay focuses on the verse 3:28 from Paul´s letter to the Galatians, in which Paul writes that “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” I have chosen to focus, primarily, on the concepts of “male nor female” in a combined exegetical study and hermeneutical search for an inclusive, Pauline language
Skånes konsumtion kan påverka en hållbar utveckling i världen Hur påverkar lokala politiska åtgärder implementationen av Agenda 2030? Finns det en risk för att åtgärder motverkar en hållbar utveckling? En växande konsumtion är en av världens stora hållbarhetsutmaningar. Överexploatering av naturresurser och föroreningar i luft och vatten är några av konsekvenserna. Konsumtion i Skåne påverkar omgThe pace of implementing the 17 global sustainability goals must increase drastically. The complexity of the goals is a challenge and mapping out interactions between them is identified as a way to explore their system properties and improve implementation. Sustainability goal 12 (sustainable consumption and production) has been suggested as one of the areas that affects and interacts with most ot

Pollinators provide valuable ecosystem services to agricultural landscapes; however, they are threatened by several factors of decline. Particularly for wild pollinator species, the effects of stressors neither individually nor in interaction with each other are well understood. Pesticide use is known to impart various lethal and sublethal effects on pollinator populations, and this use is likely
The low-carbon benefits and emissions savings from circular economy (CE) strategies are not yet well understood, yet are crucial for global development within Planetary Boundaries. Using the mineral fraction of waste incinerator bottom ash (MIBA) as construction material in road construction is one application of a CE strategy that could lead to environmental gains by substituting energy-intensive
This thesis studies the phenomenon of non-actual motion (NAM) (Blomberg, 2014; Blomberg & Zlatev 2014), and its expression in language and gestures. It has been documented that many languages employ expressions of motion in descriptions of static scenarios (Amagawa, 1997; Blomberg, 2014; Matsumoto, 1996; Rojo & Valenzuela, 2003, 2009; Stosic & Sarda, 2009), here called NAM-expressions
The importance of the historical contacts between mainland Finland and the island of Gotland has long been overlooked. The purpose of this analysis is therefore to focus on the contacts between these two areas during a period when cultural and material exchange was of utmost importance, the Viking Age. A common jewellery type used by the Finnish women during the whole Viking Age period were the c
The use of statistical models in credit rating and application scorecard modelling is a thoroughly explored field within the financial sector and a central component in a credit institution’s underlying business model. The aim of this report was to apply and compare six different machine learning models in predicting credit defaults for high-risk consumer credits, using a data set provided by a Sw
Klimatfrågan är komplex, men handlar i grunden om hur vi människor påverkar jordens atmosfär genom utvinning av fossila bränslen, användning av mark och våra konsumtionsmönster. Källorna till klimatpåverkan är många, vilket vi bland annat kan se i termer av att olika växthusgaser frigörs genom olika typer av mänsklig aktivitet. Växthusgaser har olika egenskaper vad gäller deras potential som pådriIn the collected efforts towards understanding earth’s climate system, and acting on climate change, the time dimension is of central importance. When humanity’s collected activity is carbon-neutral, and how the trajectory towards such a state might look, is a tough question to answer. One thing which does however stand out clearly is the fact that the common practice of having CO2-equivalents be
Role of SADB Kinase in DNA damage repair In the everyday life our bodies are exposed to environmental insults, such as the sunlight, which damage our genes. In addition, the cells in our body also face constant threats from within that causes damage to DNA. These damage can lead to alteration in genes and changes to the DNA molecule that can affect its ability to maintain healthiness. Luckily, ou
This qualitative study is examining the reasons behind the mass migration of Bulgarian citizens from Stolipinovo to Germany and the city of Duisburg in particular. The research is conducted using ethnographic approach together with carrying out interviews with the focus group – EU migrants from that area. It further examines how this process is facilitated and what kind of organisations stay behin
I ett försök att kunna straffa brott med rasistiska motiv hårdare infördes den s.k. straffskärpningsregeln, i 29 kap. 2 § 7 p. BrB under 1990-talet. Den ger domstolen möjligheten att skärpa straffet för ett brott, om motivet varit helt eller delvis hatiskt. Lagstiftaren har infört regeln för att skapa ett mer enhetligt och frekvent beaktande av hatmotiv, samtidigt som den ska fungera som ett förläIn an attempt to enable to punish crimes with racist motives the so called punishment harshening rule was added to the Penal Code during the 1990s.
