This study shows that several beneficial aspects of climate adaptation in Swedish municipalities can be linked to the United Nations’ sustainable development goals. In doing so, the study also exhibits that the sustainable development goals could serve as a good tool to aid in maximizing social, environmental and economic benefits when planning and executing climate adaptation measures. A claim th
Clean water is an essentiality from both an individual and societal perspective. Legal actions enable the enforcement of the protection that the drinking water resource needs to protect the current but also the future supply of clean and sustainable water. Establishing water protection areas (WPA) is today the legal action that Swedish municipalities or county administration boards have at their d
The thesis investigates how changes in weekly working hours for full time employees influence the structure of employment - and more precisely the distribution between full-time and part-time positions. Although policy discussions on shorter workweeks often center around productivity and the total employment level, less attention has been paid to how such reforms reshape working time arrangements
På senare år har Europeiska unionen tydliggjort möjligheten för upphand- lande myndigheter att ta arbetsrättsliga hänsyn i offentlig upphandling. Där- med har social hänsyn fått en mer framträdande roll inom upphandlingsrätten. För svenskt vidkommande har emellertid arbetsrättsliga krav använts i be- gränsad utsträckning, trots handlingsutrymmet som följer av unionsrätten. Mot denna bakgrund utred
Det är vedertaget i svensk rätt att avtal om framtida överlåtelse av fast egen- dom, såsom optionsavtal, är ogiltiga. En option är en rätt, men inte skyldighet, att i framtiden köpa eller sälja viss egendom. Även om det inte framgår explicit i lagtext eller förarbeten föreligger alltså i praktiken ett förbud mot option till fast egendom. Uppsatsens syfte är att granska huruvida det föreligger skälAgreements concerning future real estate transactions, such as option agree- ments, are invalid in the Swedish legal system. An option constitutes a right, but not an obligation, to buy or sell certain property in the future. There is a prohibition against option agreements to real estate, although it does not appear explicitly in the text of a law or the legislative history. The purpose of this t
Globalisering och ökad kapitalrörlighet har förändrat villkoren för nationell skattepolitik. När multinationella företag kan fördela verksamhet och vinster mellan jurisdiktioner uppstår ett konkurrenstryck där stater, för att behålla investeringar och skattebaser, pressas att sänka bolagsbeskattningen. Denna utveckling brukar beskrivas som en kapplöpning mot botten. För att återta kontrollen över
Air pollution is a problem that has been linked to health risks and disease and contains aerosols with very small particles (PM2.5) which reach deep down in the lung tissues and cause problems leading to both cancer and other health issues. Different authorities and fire and rescue service departments in Sweden create large emissions when training their personnel in facilities for smoke producing
The tumor suppressor protein p53 is an intrinsically disordered protein. Binding to DNA as a tetramer, the protein searches for mutations and prevents the replication of damaged DNA through apoptosis and growth arrest. Inactivation of p53 by mutation is recognized as a key step in the development of over 50 % of human cancers. The p53 protein family contains two additional proteins, p63 and p73. W
Strong force dynamics in the non-perturbative regime remains a poorly understood aspect of quantum chromodynamics. In collisions of heavy ions, the near-side ridge and enhanced elliptic flow are widely regarded as signatures of the collective motion of deconfined partons in a thermalized medium. On the other hand, no corresponding explanation has been found for the appearance of these signatures i
Objective: To examine the current status and future perspectives of prostate cancer (PCa) screening. Methods: We conducted a narrative review of randomized controlled trials focused on PCa screening and treatment. This review specifically focused on population-based trials enrolling men at average risk of PCa. Results: Prostate-specific antigen has been the cornerstone of PCa screening since its c
We introduce MEGATRON, a new galaxy formation model for cosmological radiation hydrodynamics simulations of high-redshift galaxies. The model accounts for the non-equilibrium chemistry and heating/cooling processes of ≥ 80 atoms, ions, and molecules, coupled to on-the-fly radiation transfer. We apply the model in a cosmological setting to the formation of a 109 M⊙halo at z = 6, and run 25 realizat
Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen-containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and mammals. In this review, we focus on the role of pyrazine
Lime-cement mixing is a method used for ground improvement of clay soils. Before mixing at a field site, laboratory samples are prepared and tested to decide the amount of lime-cement binder needed to reach the desired material strength. Strength measurements are not possible before a sample hardens, and the test process to predict final strength takes 30 days. Resistivity measurements are possibl
Online retail is growing rapidly, but fierce and global competition poses a challenge for retailers seeking to compete on values beyond price. Research in product and physical retail branding shows that building a relevant brand image can increase consumers’ willingness to pay a premium over competing brands with similar products. However, the academic literature lacks understanding of how brandin
Title: A quantitative study of the P/E ratio on the Swedish market Seminar date: June 4th, 2007 Course: Master thesis in Business and Finance and Economics, 10 Swedish Credits (15 ECTS) Authors: Filip Lundberg and Karl Johan Kulling Tutor: Hossein Asgharian Key words: P/E ratio, dividend yield, interest rate, risk, growth, debt to equity, market value, market to book, regression analysis and Swedi
The Kyoto Protocol that aims to reduce the releasing of greenhouse gases is one of the most serious co operations on environmental issues with nearly 190 countries having signed it and 166 countries having ratified it. This means the treaty covers both industrialized and developing countries and one of the most important collaborations is found between these groups. China is a country with a very
Denna uppsats undersöker när, och vilken typ av, statligt stöd, till icke-statliga aktörer, utgör ett brott mot våldsförbudet enligt artikel 2(4) i FN-stadgan, med Nicaragua-domen som utgångspunkt. Internationella domstolen fastställde att beväpnande och utbildning av icke-statliga väpnade grupper utgör ett brott mot våldsförbudet, medan finansiellt och, vissa typer av, logistiskt stöd i regel falThis thesis examines when, and what type of, state support to non-state actors constitutes a breach of the prohibition on the use of force under Article 2(4), using the Nicaragua judgement as a central reference point. The ICJ established that arming and training non-state armed groups amount to an unlawful use of force, while financial and some forms of logistical support generally fall under the
Denna uppsats undersöker hur systemet för ersättning av rättegångskostnader i förvaltningsprocessen förhåller sig till rätten till en rättvis rättegång. Denna uppsats undersöker också vilka möjligheter som finns för att få ersättning för rättegångskostnader i förvaltningsprocessen genom en separat skadeståndsta-lan i allmän domstol. För att svara på frågeställningarna tillämpas rättsdogmatisk metoThis thesis examines the system for reimbursing legal costs in the administra-tive law proceedings and how it relates to the right to a fair trial. It also inves-tigates the possibilities for obtaining reimbursement of legal costs in adminis-trative proceedings through a separate damages claim in a general court. To address the research questions, a legal dogmatic method is applied, with a signif
Hatretorik är ett vanligt förekommande fenomen som saknar en allmän accepterad definition. Forskningen rörande hatretorik och ungdomar är begränsad och saknas helt i Sverige. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur svenska gymnasieungdomar skildrar hatretorik och dess bakomliggande mekanismer. Sex fokusgrupper genomfördes och analyserades med reflexiv tematisk analys. Genom analysen generera
