Det finns olika teorier kring vem som bevisbördan ska falla på inom tvistemål när det råder oenighet kring huruvida ett visst rättsfaktum ligger för handen. Bevissäkringsteorin är en av dessa. Bevissäkringsteorin innebär att bevisbördan läggs på den som har haft det lättast för att säkra bevisning. Mot bevissäkringsteorin konkurrerar de materiella bevisteorierna. Dessa teorier förespråkar att beviThere are different theories regarding who should carry the burden of proof within civil cases when there is controversy regarding whether or not a certain fact is at hand. The theory of securing evidence is one of these. The theory of securing evidence states that the burden of proof should be placed on whomever has an easier time of securing evidence. The material theories of evidence compete wi
Data quantities and their sources have amplified over the years and so has the trend to employ dashboard-based data visualizations into the hands of a wider audience of end-users. By selecting four of the most common data visualization formats and combining these into a dashboard this thesis quantitively explored the relationship between similarity features of dashboard-based data visualizations,
Changes in water surface area (w.s.a.) in Arctic regions have been linked to climate warming and permafrost degradation (Briggs et al. 2014). As permafrost thaws, thermokarst lakes are formed. This causes the surface to get wetter. Although, a drying of the surface has often been observed in areas of discontinuous permafrost. As the climate warms, permafrost starts to thaw from underneath the lake

Fastighetsköp utgörs oftast av stora ekonomiska värden. Därmed åläggs säljaren och köparen åtaganden för att tillgodose sina egna intressen. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka upplysningspliktens omfattning vid fel i fastigheten, specifikt då upplysningsplikten inte uttryckts i jordabalken. Vägledning har därmed behövt hämtas från förarbeten och praxis. Praxis har återgetts för att illus
How we manage resources, in this case food, based on our culture is the core interest of human ecology. According to systems analysist Donella Meadows, cultural factors, i.e. our mindset, are the most difficult intervention points to access for system change - but also the most effective. This essay examines through a survey and a smaller experiment how prescribed norms and attitudes of social cir
Det ämne uppsatsen behandlar gäller arbetstagarbegreppet och plattformsarbete ur ett komparativt nationellt, svenskt arbetsrättsligt, och EU-arbetsrättsligt perspektiv.

The presence of people with disability is a phenomenon that i
Today, a greater proportion of the population prefers a plant-based diet. Due to this reason, there is an increase in the production of side streams from the food industry, which are often discarded or used as food for animals. Tempeh is a plant-based product fermented with R. oligosporus that is commonly made from soybeans from Indonesia. In this thesis, side streams from food production which ar
