The criticism towards agricultural use of sewage sludge tends to occur in ten year cycles; the debate has begun once more. The aim of this study is to evaluate current policy for agricultural use of sewage sludge, by investigating how pollutants within the sludge are affected. Two types of substances; a heavy metal (cadmium) and an organic substance(nonylphenol), are used to illustrate possible st

Denna framställning behandlar ämnet surrogatmoderskap. Surrogatmoderskap innebär att en kvinna genomgår en graviditet för ett barnlöst pars räkning, vilka benämns ”det beställande paret”.

This essay is a comparison of the American and the Swedish labor law systems regarding the right to strike. American unions generally have a tougher time than Swedish unions to get by. Not only do they have to fight the employers, the federal government does not give much support either and the union dislike is widely spread amongst the population. This goes back all the way to the beginning of th
Vid skadeståndslagens tillkomst 1972 infördes ett lagstadgat principalansvar, en ansvarsgrund som tidigare endast haft stöd i rättspraxis och då varit kraftigt begränsad. Principalansvaret, som återfinns i 3 kap. 1 § SkL, innebär att arbetsgivare har ett skadeståndsrättsligt ansvar för skador dennes arbetstagare vållar annan i tjänsten. Denna uppsats syftar till att utreda omfattningen av principaWhen the Liability for Damages Act came into force in 1972, vicarious liability was laid down in law, a principle that previously had only been found in case law where it was severely restricted. Vicarious liability, which is found in chapter 3 § 1 in the Liability for Damages Act, means that an employer is liable for indemnity for damages that his or her employees have caused others during work.
Detta arbetet har hanterat sex olika borrkärnor från den Prekambriska berggrunden i Ohio, USA. Denna berggrund är täckt med 800 – 5000 meter av Paleozoiska avlagringar och på grund av detta vet vi väldigt lite om den. Arbetet har gått ut på att karakterisera och datera dessa bergarter samt att via isotop analyser av syre och hafnium ta reda på bergarternas sammansättning och evolution. BorrkärnoThe Grenville orogen forms a major, continental scale, Mesoproterozoic orogenic belt along the present day eastern North American continent, from Labrador in the north to Mexico in the south. It is, however, mainly exposed in the northeastern parts of North America. Most of the orogen forms a basement to thick piles of Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks, and the geological evolution of the extensive co

Purpose: This master thesis aims at bridging the distinct notions of production and consumption by investigating how well-established consumption frameworks gain significance in the employment world. Therefore, we ask how Gen Y talents experience their jobs as commodities and act as consumers in the workplace as a reaction to this comodification.

Olovligt tillgängliggörande av upphovsrättsligt skyddat material genom fildelning är ett av vår tids mest debatterade ämnen. Teknikens utveckling har gjort det möjligt för enskilda personer att snabbt och kostnadsfritt tillgodogöra sig perfekta kopior av musik och film.

Popular Summary Wildfire events are expected to increase with the changing climate; thereby increasing atmospheric, economic, and human health impacts. A better understanding of the evolution of wildfire events can benefit regional meteorology models and global atmospheric models. Because of this, an attempt at modeling the evolution of wildfire was undertaken using 8 years of daily meteorologica
Eld är en av de viktigaste störningsprocesserna som påverkar den terrestra biosfären genom att forma vegetationens spridning, komposition, struktur, växtdiversitet och biokemiska cykler. Några av de mest påverkade ekosystemen är våt-torra områden, här klassificerade som savann eller Medelhavsområden. Denna påverkan kan studeras på olika sätt, antingen genom ett långvarigt och fortlöpande experimenFire is one of the most important disturbance processes affecting the terrestrial biosphere, altering the vegetation composition and distribution, structure, plant diversity and biogeochemical cycles. Some of the most influenced ecosystems are wet-dry areas, here classified as savannah or Mediterranean regions. The influence can be studied in different ways, either by long-term experiments like th
Det har länge diskuterats huruvida PRV:s officialprövning av relativa registreringshinder bör avskaffas på varumärkesområdet. Inför den nya varumärkeslagen som trädde i kraft i juli 2011 diskuterades frågan först av Varumärkeskommittén år 2001 och sedan på nytt år 2008 efter begäran från näringslivet. Officialprövningen bibehölls dock oförändrad med motiveringen att användarna ansåg att fördelarnaIt has been discussed for a long time whether the PRV’s examination of relative grounds for refusal regarding trademarks should be abolished or not. Before the new Trademarks Act came into force in July 2011, the question was first discussed by the Brand Committee in 2001 and then again in 2008 after requests from the industry. However, the official examination remained unaffected, on the grounds

Today there are various load bearing systems to choose from, concrete, steel, timber, or a combination of these. What determines the choice is usually the economy, which depends on the solutions in the different load bearing systems that will be made. Many of these choices are made based on previous projects and previous experience but do not always lead to the optimal solution. It is important to
Konkurrensen på den globala marknaden blir allt hårdare för internationella företag där utlandsplacerade medarbetare, så kallade expatriater anses vara ett viktigt verktyg för att erhålla konkurrensfördelar. Flera forskare har studerat olika delar av utlandsuppdrag där såväl förberedande träning innan uppdraget som anpassning på plats i värdlandet har framhävts. Dock saknas forskning där ett kompaThe competition on the global market is becoming increasingly tough for international companies where workers located abroad, so called expatriates are thought of as an important tool in obtaining competition advantages.

Huvudansvaret för barns fostran och vårdnad ligger hos föräldrarna. Trots detta så har samhället en skyldighet att träda in då en förälder inte kan full-följa sin vårdnadsplikt. Detta ansvar återfinns i den sociala barnavården. Mycket har hänt inom den sociala barnavården det senaste århundradet, delvis på grund av en förändrad syn på barn och inte minst har Förenta nationernas konvention om barneThe main responsibility for the child's upbringing and custody lies in the hands of the parents.

Thomas Quick, numera Sture Bergwall, har kallats Sveriges värste seriemördare. Nu krackelerar den bilden. Sedan Thomas Quick tog tillbaka sina erkännanden har han praktiskt blivit friad från samtliga åtta mord han blivit dömd för. Syftet med framställningen är att utreda hur domen gällande Appojaurefallet kunde rämna bara för att den tilltalade Thomas Quick tog tillbaka sitt erkännande. Mer konkThomas Quick, now Sture Bergwall, has been called the worst serial killer in Sweden’s history. That picture is now falling apart. Since Thomas Quick retracted his confessions he has practically been cleared from all eight murders he was convicted for. The purpose of this essay is to investigate how the judgement in the Appojaure case could fall apart only because the defendant retracted his confe
