Geoenergi är en av de energikällor som fått allt mer uppmärksamhet på marknaden de senaste åren. Geoenergi kommer från två naturliga källor i marken; I huvudsak lagrad energi från solen och en liten del geotermisk värme från jordens inre. Sett ur ett anläggningsperspektiv är potentialen för geoenergi stor, eftersom det svenska klimatet med varma somrar och kalla vintrar, samt fördelaktig geologi, Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source that has achieved more attention from the market in recent years. Geothermal energy comes from two natural sources in the ground; stored energy from the sun and geothermal heat from the centre of the Earth.

I Sverige har intresset för båtliv ökat de senaste åren. Samtidigt är möjligheten att få tillgång till en båtplats i många av landets hamnar väldigt liten då de flesta båtplatser i hamnarna är upptagna och kölistorna är långa. Torekovs hamn är inget undantag. Torekov är ett kustnära samhälle som ligger på Bjärehalvön i nordvästra Skåne. I samhället är cirka 1 100 personer åretruntboende. Befolknin

This paper is a literature survey of the primary energy consumption in China since 1978 and its impact on environment. The high dependence on fossil energy resources, coal in particular, has together with the rapid growth of energy consumption during the past decade increased the outlet of pollutants to air, soil and water. The paper focuses on air pollutions in the first hand. The development fro

Pantrarna för upprustning av förorten är en förening som grundades i Göteborg år 2011.

Pantrarna har agerat utifrån ett glapp som de upplever finns mellan förortens invånare och de politiska beslutsorganen. Genom en självpåtagen represe

This study examines the use of derivatives by 137 public firms in Germany in 2006-2010. To our knowledge our study is the first examination of the relation between hedging and market value on the German market. We find in univariate tests that the use of derivatives by non-financial firms does not add value. The results from our tests are inconsistent with theoretical predictions. Additionally our

Until recently, the areas of patent law and human rights law were treated separately. The tensions between pharmaceutical patents and the human right to health could be felt already in the 1980s, when the HIV/AIDS pandemic broke out and the pharmaceutical company that discovered a drug which could be used to treat this disease decided to patent it and set the price so high, that it was impossible

Entrepreneurs have difficulties in performing maintenance activities due to the increasing intensity of train services and failing infrastructure. Annually, the state loses billions of SEK due to delays caused by failures in infrastructure or maintenance not performed on time. The largest amounts of delays occur during winter time, when our infrastructure cannot cope with the climate as it is expo

The purpose of this thesis is to provide a new approach to the study of collaborative consumption. This new approach is to study collaborative consumption in the less affluent world from consumer culture theory apart from any managerial inclination in order to abstract the understanding of consumption patterns of the less affluent world towards collaborative consumption. The study aims to provide

In 2006 the Swedish parliament, riksdagen, decided upon guidelines to increase the committees work with science. I have made a mapping to see how this work is carried through in practice and how it has developed over time. My method and material consist of interviews with members of parliament and civil servants and governmental documents. As a background I have used experts- and democracy theory

Sammanfattning Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur våld, riktad mot någon annan familjemedlem än barnet, påverkar bedömningen av barnets bästa i frågor om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Denna fråga inkluderar avvägningen mellan frågor om vårdnad, boende samt barnets rätt till umgänge med en förälder å ena sidan, och den våldutsatta kvinnans rätt till skydd å andra sidan. Det handlar alltsåSummary The aim of this study is to examine how violence against a member of the family other than the child, is affecting the assessment of the child's best interests in matters of legal custody, residence and access. This issue includes questions about legal custody, residence and the child's right to access to a parent on the one hand and the abused woman's right to protection on th

The results of Multiple Correspondence Analysis suggest that regardless of changes in perception of ‘FATE’ in American and Russian cultures during the last two centuries, the main distinctions such as perception of ‘FATE’ as Deterministic but Non-Agentive (things may happen but it is up to an individual to take charge) in American culture and Deterministic and Agentive in Russian culture (things h

The area of public procurement has a significant financial impact on the Union market, proven by the fact that 18% of the Union’s GDP is spent by public authorities on resources that are regulated by the legislative framework surrounding public procurement. Such a significant spending therefore has the possibility of controlling the behaviour of the supply side on the market by demonstrating what

Nollbeskattningen av gemenskapsinterna förvärv i kombination med uppskjuten betalning av moms har möjliggjort karusellbedrägeri med moms på den EU-interna marknaden. Följaktligen har medlemsstaterna drabbas av utebliven moms som inte redovisas av ”missing traders”, samtidigt som den oskyldige affärspartnern till en ”missing trader” behåller sin rätt att återfå moms, vilket skapar en förlust för stThe zero-rating of intra-Community acquisitions in combination with the deferred payment of VAT has made it possible to employ carousel fraud with VAT on the internal EU market. Not only are the tax authorities in the different Member States losing out on VAT that is not accounted for by missing traders, but the innocent parties in business with the missing traders retain a right to refund VAT, le
