Ett geoenergisystem består av ett eller flera borrhål, energibrunnar, som via värmeväxlare är kopplade till en värmepump. I en del fall är det önskvärt att borrhålen återfylls. Detta görs för att förhindra spridning av föroreningar från ytan och mellan olika akvifärer som borrhålet kan kortsluta. Utomlands görs detta regelbundet och omfattande forskning har bedrivits på området. I Sverige saknar dA shallow geothermal energy system consists of one or several boreholes connected to a heat pump through borehole heat exchangers. In some circumstances it’s desirable that the boreholes are grouted. This is carried out primarily to reduce the risk of contaminants being transported from the surface and between aquifers that the borehole penetrates. In the USA and Germany grouting is regularly perf

This thesis analyzes the work of nonprofit organizations with migrant people through a gender perspective lens.In recent years the decline of the welfare state in Sweden, as well as the increasing proportion of migrants in Sweden's population, have led the nonprofit sector to play a more prominent role in providing social work services.

Polisman har enligt svensk rätt befogenhet att under olika omständigheter meddela tillsägelser och andra liknande direktiv till allmänheten. Den närmare innebörden av denna befogenhet – den så kallade befallningsrätten – beskrivs emellertid ofta som oklar och ämnet har aldrig varit föremål för en sammanhållen och genomgripande akademisk behandling. I föreliggande uppsats utforskas innehållet i ochAccording to Swedish law a police officer has the authority under certain circumstances to issue commands and similar directions to the public. The extent of this power – the so called command authority (befallningsrätten) – is however often described as ambiguous and the area has never been the subject of a cohesive and pervasive academic study. In the present essay the contents and boundaries of

The paper examines how Malmo and the surrounding areas have been affected by the Oresund Bridge. Employment is the measure of economic activity that has been used including employment in private and public sectors. Our hypothesis is that the Oresund Bridge's impact on employment in the municipalities close to the bridge should be bigger than the impact on the remaining municipalities in Scania

Det övergripande syftet med föreliggande studie var att med hjälp av en kvantitativ metod av icke experimentell form undersöka medkänsla, självmedkänsla och miljömedkänsla hos barn och unga i Sverige. Studien genomfördes i grundskolan senare år och antalet deltagare uppgick till 242 barn och unga (M = 12.9 år). Data samlades in med hjälp av en enkät innehållande några på området vanliga instrument

The main purpose of this study is to examine whether a specific group of non ideal crime victims senses that the standard view of the ideal crime victim stands in the way of them getting the help from the judiciary that they are entitled to. If a discrepancy between theory and practice do exists, then why does it exist and what changes need to be done to eliminate it? These questions have been s

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilka faktorer vid företagens börsintroduktioner, på NASDAQ OMX Stockholm och NGM Equity under åren 2001-2008, som påverkar sannolikheten att en efterföljande nyemission inträffar inom en kort tidsperiod (tre år). Metod: Studien är en kvantitativ undersökning där faktorer vid företagens IPO påverkar sannolikheten att en efterföljande SEO inträffar i

Iraq, for the first time in its long history, is facing a dire water crisis that depends on the decrease in the quantities and degradation in the qualities of the water that enters its borders via Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These two rivers are supplying more than 98% of Iraq’s water demands for various purposes. Water pollution, desertification, drought, and deterioration in water quality are t

Användandet av sociala medier, och framför allt Facebook har ökat markant under en relativt kort period. Det är därför av vikt att undersöka hur Facebook påverkar användarna, både online och i vardagen. Denna uppsats undersöker hur aktiva Facebook-användare i åldrarna 18–25 använder sig av Facebook, hur synligheten på Facebook påverkar både deras medierade framträdande och deras off-line liv och

This thesis will examine the impact human-made catastrophes have on company stock returns and how efficiently the market react on the information.

These catastrophes have occurred from 1995 to late 2011 and are the works of companies in Europe and in North America. This is done using an e

This paper examines to what extent the 2011 EU-wide bank stress test provided the market with new information. The intention is to conclude whether the European banking sector should be considered opaque or not. This is done by studying the credit default swap market and the equity market using event-study methodologies. Three different groups will be observed: i) the stress tested banks ii) a sam

This thesis investigates how cooperative membership impacts on the well-being of the individual. The case of the umbrella cooperative El Ceibo, operating in Bolivia, is investigated. Organizations such as the UN, the World Bank, and the ILO have high hopes for agricultural cooperatives as partners in the struggle for rural development. However, there is a lack of empirical studies investigating th

The EU has a legacy of being both a trading power and a normative power. During the course of its existence the EU has acquired a history of collaborating with developing countries, this cooperation is to be guided by the promotion of normative principles, such as: human rights, democracy and good governance to mention a few. One way found to promote these norms is through exports and imports. The

Statistical theory suggests that call arrivals to a telephone exchange follow a Poisson process and that time between successive calls is exponentially distributed. Previous studies indicate that the average number of arrivals changes over time, and thus follow a time-inhomogeneous Poisson distribution. The purpose of this thesis is to assess if the characteristics of daily calls to a call center

Immateriella rättigheter utgör en väldigt viktig komponent på den globala markanden och enorma investeringar ligger ofta bakom uppkomsten och underhåll av starka varumärken. Detta skapar givetvis starka incitament att bevaka och skydda dessa varumärken och i den mån det går att reglera tredje mans användning genom exempelvis licenser. Frågan huruvida aktörer såsom banker och andra finansiella instIntellectual property is a very important component in the global market and enormous investments are often underlying for the development and maintenance of strong brands. This obviously creates strong incentives to monitor and protect these trademarks and to the extent possible, regulate the use by third parties through licenses. The question whether players such as banks and other financial ins
