Denna studie har undersökt hur landets miljöprövningsdelegationer godkänner samråd i miljökonsekvensbeskrivningsprocessen samt om de bedömer att samrådet är tillräckligt enligt lagen på samma sätt. Undersökningen har genomförts med hjälp av 17 kvalitativa intervjuer gjorda på landets miljöenheter och miljöprövningsdelegationer, samt genom att kartlägga den rättsliga bakgrunden. Att belägga att de

Alunskiffern har i århundraden varit av ekonomiskt intresse och var en viktig naturresurs i Sveriges tidiga industriella utveckling genom framställningen av alun - ett kaliumaluminiumsulfat. Dessutom har alunskiffern varit intressant som källa och reservoar för olja och gas. Förutom de kemiska egenskaperna har även en del av de kemiska processerna i frågan om uppkomsten av petroleum, gas och uran The alum shale has for centuries been of interest and was an important resource in Sweden's early industrial history through the manufacturing of alum - a potassium aluminium sulfate. In addition to describing the chemical properties this paper also include a brief description of some of the chemical processes that are responsible for the enrichment of oil, gas and uranium. The alum shale in t

Today, package has more obligations than just protecting the product. Consumers see the product and package as an integrated part and requires luxurious and prestigious package in order to attract them. This has forced companies to improve their package design to be able to sell their products. Both companies and consumers use it for different reasons but the visibility on the shelf remains the sa

För arbetet med förorenade områden finns det nationella miljökvalitetsmålet ”Giftfri miljö”. Det är ett så kallat generationsmål och innebär att förekomsten av ämnen som har utvunnits av eller skapats i samhället inte ska hota människors hälsa och den biologiska mångfalden. Vidare innebär målet att halter av naturfrämmande ämnen är nära noll och deras påverkan på människors hälsa och ekosystem ska

Popular Science Abstract This thesis is about the construction and demonstration of time correlated single photon counting (TSCPC) setup. The technique is essentially digital and is based on detection and counting of single photon, recognizing quantum nature of light. The time is measured between excitation pulse and detected photons and is stored in histogram with x-axis corresponding to time in

Popular science summary The effect of glucose and incretin proteins on insulin secretion and OPN production Insulin secretion is a sensitive cellular process with ramifications in diabetes mellitus development. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia, a chronic condition defined by high levels of circulating glucose. Insulin hormone is the primary regulator of glucose absorption from

Although access to the internet is increasingly recognised as a critical right, the increasing criminalisation of copyright infringements and its consequent constitutional concerns reflects not only an ever widening gap between the legislative prescriptions and the broader societal expectations but may also raise constitutional concerns that may undermine that right of access. Drawing on the premi

China is facing multiple challenges of environmental degradation, resource scarcity, and rapid urbanization. The challenges along with people's needs to improve living condition force China to value the importance of developing green buildings. In 2006 the first national green building assessment tool -­‐ Evaluation Standard for Green Building (GBS) was released and widely implemented soon aft

The objective of this study is to get new experimental data regarding to the burning velocities of ethanol, acetaldehyde and their mixture which has been performed by the heat flux method. It is known that the heat flux method for determination of laminar burning velocities is an efficient technique since the burning velocity can be determined directly, without applying extrapolations. These lamin

Sustainable waste management system which focuses on prevention, reuse and recycle instead of burn and bury is difficult to agree upon, design and implement. I look at why after 8 years of development the city of Sofia chose to burn and bury most of its municipal waste despite a better though more difficult to implement alternative based on the Zero Waste concept was presented. I focused on the dy

Organized crime has received much attention in Sweden the last decade and it is seen as a big threat against the society. In 2007 the government emphasized the importance to fight this type of criminality by taking a first initiative towards a national campaign against organized crime. Further the Minister of Justice wants to investigate whether it is possible to introduce a crown witness system i

Services of general economic interest are economic activities that public authorities identify as being of particular importance to citizens and that would not be supplied or would be supplied under different conditions if there were no public intervention. Examples of services of general economic interest are transport networks, postal services and social services They are provided by States to i

The study examines why Complete Vocal Technique (CVT) is used in singing education in upper secondary school. The basis of the study are three interviews with vocal instructors working at the aesthetics program, who have studied at the Academy of Music and had further studies at the Complete Vocal Institute (CVI). The study is executed with qualitative method. The purpose of the study is to exami

Bakgrund: Hälso- och sjukvården genomgår kontinuerligt omorganiseringar och utsätts för ständiga ekonomiska besparingar. Samtidigt ställer sjukvårdens snabba utvecklingstakt krav på ett ledarskap som kan hantera den problematik som en komplex verksamhet innebär. Konsekvenserna av förändringsarbetet har blivit att avdelningar har slagits samman och cheftätheten har blivit glesare. De chefer som är Introduction: The health care system is undergoing continuous reorganizations and subjected to constant demands for financial savings. The rapid pace of development requires leadership that can deal with the issues that arise in this complex operation, however, the impact of these changes have resulted in consolidated departments and fewer staff. The managers who are left will be responsible for u

This report describes the development of a new design for a small surveillance camera that would bring new opportunities for surveillance in carefully decorated environments. The target group was specified to high-end stores; luxury retailers. This specific target group has a great interest for new products and trends and stores in the lower price segment are often inspired by the high-end stores

Land degradation has already been treated as one of the most serious problem all around the world. This study is a GIS-based time series study which devotes to calculate annual soil loss value, seek for soil erosion trends linked with precipitation and land use in Manafwa micro-catchment, Mount Elgon region, Uganda. Two different versions of Revised Universal Soil loss Equation (RUSLE) are impleme

Studiens syfte var att studera förekomst av nãgrapersonlighetsegenskaper som jag tror har betydelse för prestationen: Egoism, moral och empati i de individuella idrotterna friidrott och simning bland ungdomsidrottare och att belysa eventuella skillnader i egoism, moral och empati mellan elitidrottarna och icke-eliten, samt eventuella könsskillnader. I bakgrunden framgår att: o Egoism hos tonåringa

Öar präglas av opåtagliga aspekter och har en psykologisk mening för turister. Det kan ses att verklighetsflykt och viljan att uppleva något annorlunda genom enkelhet och avkoppling är orsaker till öars attraktion. Representationen av paradiset gör öar till psykologiska fenomen som tilltalar turister genom känslor. Samtidigt som sol och bad är grundläggande anledningar för att resa till en ödestin

Kleva koppar-nickel -sulfidmineralisering i Jönköpings län associeras med en elongerad mafisk pluton. I denna studie presenteras de opaka faserna för disseminerad malm från platsen. De relativt rika resp. fattiga proverna skiljer sig åt texturellt och mineralogiskt. Prover med nätverkstexturer rymmer magnetkis medan de med enbart aggregat domineras av pyrit. Kobalt saknas i pentlandit från de fattThe Kleva copper-nickel sulphide mineralization in Jonkoping County, southeastern Sweden, is categori-sed as an elongated mafic pluton. In this study, ore microscopy and quantitative chemical analysis using SEM -EDS have been used to describe the relative abundance and distribution of sulphides and iron oxides in disseminated samples. The overall dominant mineral ore phase is chalcopyrite. In the
