Wetlands are valuable ecosystems, and assets for human life, that must be regularly monitored, starting with accurately mapping their location and extent. However, an updated national inventory of wetlands is needed. The availability of multi-source data, and advanced machine learning algorithms in Google Earth Engine (GEE) offers excellent opportunities to map wetlands on a country-wide scale. Th
ABSTRACT. For programs that aim to promote forest conservation and poverty alleviation, such as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+), the participation of indigenous communities is essential to meet program goals. Using Ostrom's theory of collective action for common pool resource management, we evaluated the institutions governing indigenous participation in the Pr
The study concludes that there were contacts between Birka and western Finland throughout more or less the whole existence of the town. The earliest evidence of these contacts is from the 760s and the latest from the middle of the tenth century. Unlike other eastern material in Birka, which became much more frequent during the second half of the ninth century the contacts with Finland were constan
This book deals with ’have’ in ancient Greek. Two different types of ’have’-constructions were used, viz., on the one hand, the active transitive verb ἔχω and, on the other hand, the verb εἶναι, ’be’, with a complement in the dative case (here called the ἔστι μοι construction). A transitive ’have’ does not seem to be of Proto-Indo-European origin but rather an innovation in separate Indo-European
Popular Abstract in English The present thesis investigates ways in which motion is described in Xenophon’s Anabasis, written in the 2nd part of the third century BC. The Anabasis tells the story of the Ten Thousand – the Greek soldiers who marched from Sardis to Babylon, and from there back to the Greek coast of the Black Sea – covering a great variety of motion events. The study examines passageThe thesis compares different prepositions and verbal prefixes denoting direction in Ancient Greek. The corpus covers passages in Xenophon’s Anabasis where such directional elements are used. In this work, it has been examined how the usage of prepositions differs from that of prefixes when they denote a concrete motion in space, what reasons lie behind their usage, and how various directional ele
As climate change and unsustainable waste practices present major global challenges, effective waste management in developing countries becomes critically important. In South Africa, organic waste constitutes a significant share of general waste and is often landfilled, contributing to methane emissions and serious health risks for the population. In response, the Western Cape province has introdu
Theoretical option prices can be computed using several different pricing models which make numerous assumptions about the markets and the underlying asset. Depending on those assumptions, the models have different strengths and weaknesses which make them more suited to a specific type of market. This study evaluates six different pricing models implemented in MATLAB, and introduces a combined mod
Regeringen lade under hösten 2020 fram ett förslag om att utöka tillämpningsområdet för hemliga tvångsmedel genom att införa en straffvärdeventil som tar sikte på flerfaldig brottslighet. Förslaget motiveras mot bakgrund av att de brottsutredande myndigheterna är i behov av effektiva utredningsåtgärder för att kunna utreda mindre allvarliga brott som sker på ett systematiskt sätt. Införandet av enDuring the autumn of 2020 the Swedish government presented a proposal to extend the area of application for the use of secret coercive measures through the introduction of a ‘penal value valve’ that targets multiple crimes. The proposal is justified by the law enforcement authorities need for effective measures of investigation in order to investigate crimes of minor severity committed in a system
Skiljeförfarandet är och har länge varit en populär alternativ tvistlösningsmetod. Detta gäller i synnerhet i internationella kommersiella tvister där parterna önskar ett neutralt förfarande utan koppling till endera parts nationella domstolar. Skiljeförfarandet har dock på senare tid börjat kritiseras för att ofta resultera i långdragna och kostsamma processer för parterna. Mot bakgrund av denna Arbitration is, and has been for long, a popular alternative dispute resolution. This is particularly true for international commercial disputes where the parties wish to have their case tried in a neutral setting. However, arbitration has in recent times received a lot of criticism for being slow and costly. In light of this criticism a new soft law-tool was presented in 2018 called the Rules on
Under hösten 2014 spreds den senare benämnda ”dåliga stämningen” bland Sveriges kyldiskar då branschorganisationen Svensk Mjölk Ekonomisk Förening (Svensk Mjölk) valde att stämma havredrycksföretaget Oatly AB (Oatly) för bland annat vilseledande och misskrediterande marknadsföring. Domen kom i november 2015 och fällde Oatly på de flesta punkter. Fram tills domen föll men även efter fick den svenskDuring the fall of 2014 the Swedish Dairy Association sued the Swedish oat drink company Oatly. The already cold relationship between the two parties got even more tainted. The legal basis for the lawsuit was the way Oatly had chosen to market its oat drinks, which the Swedish Dairy Association found deceptive and discreditable. The judgment was announced in November 2015 with the Swedish Dairy As
I en rättegångsprocess är olika uppgifter fördelade mellan de olika aktörerna. Huvudregeln enligt svensk rätt är att parterna har huvudansvaret för den materiella delen av processen, medan domstolen ansvarar för den formella delen. Det har sin grund i de processrättsliga principer som reglerar ansvaret mellan domstolen och parterna i rättegångsprocessen: den kontradiktoriska principen, förhandlingIn a proceeding in court, different tasks are divided between the different actors. The main principle in Swedish law is that the litigants have the responsibility for the substantive part of the proceeding, while the court is responsible for the formal part. This is based on the procedural code principles that regulate the responsibility between the court and the litigants in the court proceeding
I juni 2022 röstades ett lagförslag igenom i riksdagen vilket resulterade i att det kostnadsbaserade avdraget för resor till och från arbetet (arbetsresor) ändrades om i grunden till att vara en färdmedelsneutral och avståndsbaserad skattereduktion. Innan de nya reglerna hann träda i kraft den 1 januari 2023 ändrade sig riksdagen och röstade i stället igenom ett förstärkt reseavdrag med höjda schaIn June 2022, a bill was passed through Riksdagen which led to the cost-based write off for traveling to and from your employment (work commute) being changed to accommodate non-specific travel methods and distance based tax deduction. Before the new bills had gone into effect starting from the 1st of january 2023, the Riksdag changed their mind and opted to pass a new bill that allowed for higher
Detta arbete berör ämnet återbruk och återanpassning av en befintlig byggnad i en nutida kontext. Byggnaden som jag valt att studera är Sundhammars barnkoloni, byggd år 1937, belägen invid kusten i södra Bohuslän. Trots att byggnaden bedöms vara en av de bäst bevarade barnkolonibyggnaderna så saknar den skydd, varpå den vid flertalet tillfällen hotats av rivning. Målet med detta examensarbete äThis work concerns the topic of reuse and readaptation of an existing building in a contemporary context. The building I have chosen to study is Sundhammars barnkoloni, built in 1937, located next to the coast in the southern part of Bohuslän. Although the building is considered to be one of the best preserved children’s colony buildings, it lacks protection, whereupon it has been threatened with
As a social worker you often meet children that are exposed to harmful environments in one way or another. Children who grow up in these circumstances could easily be forgotten, there-fore it is vital that these children are brought to attention. In these situations it´s necessary to find which positiv measures would be benefitial for these children. The internet is an expan-sive resource due to t
Denna uppsats syftar till att granska och diskutera kriminaliseringen av – och tillämpningen av straffrätten på – HIV-smittade personers sexuella kontakter där HIV-smitta överförs, eller riskerar att överföras, från en person till en annan. Upprätthållandet av ett straffhot avseende gärningar med grund i HIV är en kontroversiell fråga, i vart fall inom HIV/AIDS-arbetet på internationell nivå. SverThis paper aims to review and discuss the criminalization of – and the application of criminal law to – a HIV-infected person’s sexual contacts where HIV infection is transmitted, or may be transmitted from one person to another. Maintaining criminal sanctions for acts with a connection to HIV is a controversial issue, at least in HIV/AIDS work at an international level. Sweden, which is one of th
