Vildsvin är det klövvilt som idag ökar snabbast i Sverige. Den markanta populationsökningen är delvis hänförbar till den utbreda utfodring av vildsvin som görs av markägare och jägare. Detta leder till att vildsvin kan reproducera sig under hela året istället för till begränsade parningsperioder. Den ökande vildsvinspopulationen har skapat konflikter mellan jägare och markägare eftersom dessa har The essay examines the potential need for implementing a new structure of wildlife management to the wild boar.

According to traditional trade theory, trade reduces inequality between the rich and the poor. However, since the beginning of the 1980s, a constantly rise in within-country inequality has been observed in many developed and developing countries. With the rapidly increasing globalization during the same period in mind, a natural question to ask is whether the two phenomenon are linked. In this pap
Today there is a high focus on the energy use when constructing new buildings. This mainly depends on the increased regulations and energy classifications that have been issued. Because of this, studies have shown that mechanical cooling in office environments leads to high energy consumption and service costs. This has led to an increased interest in analyzing if cooling only through ventilation

Den vanligaste metoden för att dimensionera vägar i Sverige tillåter inte att tjockleken av obundna lager i vägkonstruktionen underskrider 500 mm. Hade en vägs obundna lager kunnat minskas med bara ett fåtal centimeter hade material- och transportkostnader kunnat minska avsevärt. I examensarbetet Styvhetsanalys av vägkonstruktioner (Svensson, 2015) tas en metod fram för att kontrollera om konstrukIn order to measure the stiffness properties of a soil, a method called the plate loading test is used. Based on this test a modulus called Ev2 [Pa] is obtained among others. When building a road construction there are different requirements for this Ev2-modulus for different layers in the road. According to the Swedish Transport Administration regulatory document TRVK Väg and the dimensioning ca

Därför krävs fler studier om säkerhets- och arbetsmiljöarbetet på byggarbetsplatser med utländsk arbetskraft. Likaså behöver fler undersökningar göras om hur kommunikationen kan förbättras mellan svenska och utländska arbetstagare. God kommunikation är en Since the number of posted workers and companies on the Swedish labour market most likely won’t decrease in the foreseeable future, more studies on safety and working environment on construction sites with foreign workers will be needed. Likewise more studies on how the communication can improve between Swedish and foreign workers are required, since good communication is a determining factor when
