Skogsskador och skogsdöd är ett växande problem i Europa. "Svarta Triangeln", som ligger i bergsområdet där Tysklands, Tjeckiens och Polens gränser möts, är en av de värst drabbade områdena. I dagsläget saknas kunskap för att kunna förklara skogsskadorna helt och hållet, men markförsurningen i området, som orsakas främst av förbränning av svavelrikt kol i de många kolkraftverken, är trolForest decline is an increasing problem in Europe. "The Black Triangle" area, situated in the mountainous region where the borders of Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland meet, is one of the worst damaged areas. The reasons for the forest dieback are not fully understood, but the soil acidification caused by the burning of sulphur rich coal in the region is considered a major cause. To

Sedan 1975 har det funnits en utökad möjlighet för patienter att få ersättning vid felbehandling inom vården genom den frivilliga patientförsäkringen, utöver de möjligheter som skadeståndsrätten erbjuder. År 1997 var patient-försäkringen inte frivillig längre, då det lagstadgades att varje vårdgivare är skyldig att ha en patientförsäkring och förutsättningarna för ersättning fastställdes. FörutsätSince 1975, the possibility for remedy when Swedish healthcare is performed incorrectly and causes personal injury is extended by the voluntary patient injury insurance. Since 1997, the patient injury insurance is statutory in the Patient Injury Act and thereby mandatory for all health care institutions. The conditions for compensation through the patient injury insurance are the same regardless o

Motivationen med studien var den alldeles för höga stråldosen som används vid CTundersökningar. I de allra flesta fallen anpassas man inte rörströmmen efter patientens storlek och därmed får smalare patienter en onödigt hög stråldos. Målet var att reducera stråldosen till patienter som undersöks med datortomografi utan att minska på bildkvalité, genom att anpassa rörströmmen efter patientens stoIn this study we have investigated the possibilities of dose reduction in CT at a constant level of image quality by adjustment of the tube current to the phantom size. The motivation with the study is the high radiation doses to the patients and the increasing frequency of CT examinations and the variety of examinations in CT, and that the same tube current is used for different patient sizes. Ac

The Silurian strata of Gotland yield a wide variety of polychaete jaws. The investigated polychaetes include the family Polychaetaspidae with the two genera Polychaetaspis and Kozlowskiprion, and the monotypic family Ramphoprionidae with the genus Ramphoprion. The fauna derives from the sections at Lusklint and Lickershamn 2 which comprise the three stratigraphically oldest units on Gotland: the L

Manufacturing firms have a hard time competing with goods only. It is considered that everyone can produce and therefore the competition is solely based on cost. The solution is to increase the value of the offer. Services show great potential in increasing customer value. In addition services are harder to copy and can generate constant stream of income (through contracts). The packaging industry

The aim of this study was to determine the mineralogy and the weathering rate of till in NW Blekinge, south Sweden. The physical properties of the soil were analysed on samples taken in test pits. These samples were separated in different fractions and analysed with XRD- and chemical methods and thin sections. The computer program PROFILE was used as a tool to calculate the weathering rate. The ph

Summary: The Kiruna ore is situated in northernmost Sweden, and it is one of the largest iron ore deposits that is known in the whole world. Small amounts of cobalt occur in the ore. This paper is devoted to the study of the distribution of cobalt in the Kiruna ore. Results from studies under the polarizing microscope in both transmitted and reflected light in addition to chemical wholerock analys

Sverige och Danmark anses i komparativa sammanhang tillhöra samma rättsfamilj. I arbetsrättsligt avseende skiljer sig Danmark från övriga nordiska länder på så sätt att man undvikit lagstiftning i mesta möjliga mån och t.o.m. överlåtit implementering av vissa EU-direktiv åt arbetsmarknadens parter genom kollektivavtal. Den lagstiftning som finns är spretig och i stor utsträckning införd p.g.a. EU-In a comparative context Sweden and Denmark are often considered part of the same families of law. In respect of labour law, Denmark differs from the other Nordic countries by avoiding legislation as much as possible and have even left implementation of some EU directives to be performed through collective agreements. The legislation is uneven and to a great extent introduced after demands from th

Government regulations and customs duties restrict the import of trucks to some of the markets to which Scania tries to sell their trucks. The distribution problem due to these regulations is solved by the foreign assembly department, KD, at Scania. This means that competence is needed and costs are added not related to Scania's core operations. The aim of this master thesis has been to analy

This paper approaches information technology and the Internet's social and political impact in contemporary China from the perspective of political participation. This paper applies the "public sphere" concept as an analytical tool to define the relationship between public sphere and the newly rising cyberspace. It finds that certain part of cyberspace is the relevant reflection of p

Free movement of goods is regulated by Article 28 of The EC Treaty. The most important judgments of European Court of Justice (ECJ) in this field are Dassonville, Cassis de Dijon and Keck. The interpretation of Article 28 was very broad in Dassonville and Cassis cases therefore the national rules which were designed for social policy reasons, but not for controlling the trade between Member States

The EC Competition Law has always played an important part in Community Law. Paul Craig and Gráinne de Búrca, EU Law Text, Cases, and Materials, 3rd edition 2003, page 936 This law, with its two fundamental provisions known as Articles 81 and 82 governing anti-competitive behaviours, has made great contribution to the achievement of one of the objectives laid down in the EC Treaty: ensuring that &

One of the important problems concerning European Environmental law is the lack of coherence in the European legal system including Competition rules&semic granting state aid for environmental protection reasons is one of these problems. In this sense, after more than twenty years of community legislations in the field of environmental protection, the European commission adopts in the 1994 the

In the traditional model of international law, to which however reality has never exactly corresponded, situations of armed violence fall into clearly defined categories which in their turn appertained to a certain set of rules of international law applicable. For armed conflicts between sovereign states ('war'), international humanitarian law provides a full body of rules. On the other ha

It is frustrating for every reasonable human being to observe scenes of exploitation around the world in respect of children, because of their either naivety or vulnerability. It is unacceptable that still in the 21st century, children do not benefit from the protection, attention and love they deserve. An estimated 300 million children worldwide are subject to violence, exploitation and abuse inc

This thesis examines the impact on traditional knowledge holders' right to culture of corporate appropriation of traditional knowledge for the purpose of developing new medicines. The questions addressed are: - Does the behaviour of pharmaceutical companies in relation to traditional knowledge infringe on the right to culture of original knowledge holders? - What regulation of bioprospecting a

This thesis deals with the development of the EU asylum law and policy with focus on the role of burden-sharing and temporary protection. The Geneva Convention is the legal framework for community action. This is laid down by Article 63.1 of the EC Treaty. Article 63 does not only refer to the Geneva Convention, but also to other relevant Human Rights Treaties such as the 1948 Universal Declaratio

Ickekonstitutionella regeringsförändringar har varit ett stort problem i Afrika sen avkoloniseringen och militärkupper har varit en minst lika vanlig form av regeringsbyte som demokratiska val. Afrikanska unionen (AU) har sen den bildades 2001 utvecklat den afrikanska internationella rätten för att kunna hantera dessa situationer.

The African Union (AU) was established in 2001 and has since then provided a significant development of the African law, not the least in the branch of law covering the AU response to unconstitutional changes of

Finansiella tjänster är undantagna från mervärdesskatt och har varit det sedan långt tillbaka. I samband med skattereformen 1990 diskuterades huruvida den generella skatteplikten som gäller för omsättning av varor och tjänster skulle komma att innefatta även finansiella tjänster. Dessa diskussioner ledde emellertid inte till något mer konkret än ett förslag till en särskild skatt i den finansiella
