Carbon taxation can be a crucial policy to transform towards a greener economy, which was identified as a key strategy to achieve sustainable development at the United Nations Conference for Sustainable Development (UNCSD) in 2012. As more countries consider the introduction of carbon taxation and other carbon pricing mechanisms, it’s relevant to learn from the experiences in Nordic countries, whi
I Sverige finns det ingen lagstadgad skyldighet att bistå nödställda personer. Undantag finns i vissa situationer när det framgår av lag eller allmänna principer. Att se på när en okänd människa drunknar utan att hjälpa till, trots att personens liv enkelt kan räddas är idag straffritt. Syftet med denna uppsats är att med hjälp av en rättsdogmatisk metod utreda om en civilkuragelag bör införas i SIn Sweden there is no statutory duty to rescue distressed persons. Exceptions can be made when this is required by a special law or by legal principles, but watching an unknown person drown when his life easily can be saved is not illegal. The purpose of this essay is to, by using a traditional judicial method, examine whether this behaviour should be criminalized or not. If the duty to rescue di
Provokation som grund för strafflindring regleras i 29 kap. 3 § första stycket 1 BrB och då domstolen anser att någon objektivt sett har blivit utsatt för ett uppenbart kränkande beteende kan detta få verkan i förmildrande riktning i påföljdsbestämningen. Domstolar har ett relativt stort utrymme att fastställa vad som kan utgöra provokation på grund av att det finns få uttalanden i förarbeten och Provocation as a basis for mitigation of a sentence is regulated in Chapter 29. 3 § first paragraph 1 of the Penal Code and this can have effect in mitigating direction when the court considers that someone has been a victim of a clearly degrading behavior from an objective point of view. Courts have a relatively broad discretion to determine what may constitute provocation because there are only

This thesis investigates how to establish the relationship between OSI layer 7 parameters of video streaming and the QoE of the user, and to evaluate which methods are most tting for the estimation of QoE. The project is made in cooperation with LTH and Acreo, and is a part of the Next generation over-the-top multimedia services (NOTTS) 7and the Eco system for Future Media Distribution (EFRAIM) p
When discussing industrial maintenance, human error is a topic that easily comes to mind. Slips, lapses and mistakes due to hazardous settings of critical conditions referred to as Performing Shaping Factors (PSFs) introduce unforeseen and unanticipated risks. Unlike several tools to date, the methodology presented in this master thesis is thought to serve as an easy and fast way to identify risks

This study sought to investigate the effect of microplastics on Mytilus edulis’s ability to filtrate water. The mussels were sampled at Hanö bay located in the Baltic Sea, and were transported to a controlled environment. The mussels were exposed to three different solutions, one containing a concentration of 1 000 Microbeads (diameter 10 μm) per liter, one containing the same amount of plastic be
The aircraft of today use electrical fly-by-wire systems for manoeuvring. These safety-critical distributed systems are called flight control systems and put high requirements on the communication networks that interconnect the parts of the systems. Reliability, predictability, flexibility, low weight and cost are important factors that all need to be taken in to consideration when designing a saf
This study examines the association between revenue and user base for companies who operate a platform-mediated business model and benefit from network effects. More specifically, the study incorporates both an exponential and linear function in order to see which one most accurately explains the association. Previous research has theorized the notion of an exponential association between revenue
The Iberian lynx was once recognized as the world’s most threatened felid, but due to the implementation of a conservation programme and the creation of captive breeding centres, its numbers have considerably increased. With the annual production of new individuals in these reproduction centres, as well as the inevitable aging of past breeders, a different problem emerged: the hoarding of non-repr

Som en följd av Rysslands angreppskrig på Ukraina har flertalet situationer uppstått, där entreprenörer suttit fast i avtal med utländska underleverantö-rer som tvingats höja sina priser med anledning av bland annat politiska sanktioner. Detta har föranlett att det så kallade prisändringsvillkoret i AB 04, 6.3§, blivit alltmer aktuellt. Villkoret stipulerar en rätt för entreprenö-ren att vid oföru
