Popular Abstract in Swedish Geografisk fördelning av inomartsvariation i vittspridda Euroasiska skogsväxter Torbjörn Tyler Sammanfattning av författaren's doktorsavhandling Inledning Arter's utbredningar bestäm's inte bara av omvärldsfaktorer som klimat och jordmån utan även av de möjligheter det givit's dem att sprida sig. För att sprida sig över stora geografiska områden kräv's tid och i en väMany woodland plant species have huge distribution areas covering large parts of the Eurasian continent including areas that were glaciated during the last glacial period. In the present thesis, the geographic distribution of variation within such species is investigated and discussed in relation to glacial survival and post-glacial migration, dispersal ability, breeding system and levels of gene-

This doctoral dissertation presents the development and digital hardware realization of cardiac event detectors. Implantable medical appliances, as the cardiac pacemaker, have progressed from a life sustaining device to a device that considerably improves life quality for all ages. The number of electronic devices and household appliances in everyday live has an ongoing exponential growth. The

The purpose of this project was to create a risk model for extended time between major overhauls on steam turbines. The project was created by Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery who develops and manufactures steam turbines and performs maintenance. It is the turbine users who have requested a longer time in order to reduce maintenance costs and increase availability. Prior to the work, external and

High Arctic wetlands are an important component of the global climate system. Nevertheless estimations of their expected response to climate change and associated climate-feedbacks have large uncertainties. Improving models for vegetation and carbon dynamics of ecosystems is an important step towards making predictions more accurate. In this study, an arctic-enabled version of the LPJ-GUESS dynam

De senaste åren har flera straffskärpningar gjorts inom lagstiftningen, inte minst för unga lagöverträdare. Den här studien syftar till att analysera de möj-liga konsekvenser på samhället och påföljdssystemet som ett förslag på såd-ana straffskärpningar gällande unga myndiga i åldern 18-20 år, kan ge. Betän-kandet 2018:85 Slopad straffrabatt för unga myndiga ligger till grund för denna studie. DetIn the last few years there has been several increases in the severity of pun-ishment within the Swedish legal system. This is especially true for the legis-lation concerning young offenders. This study aims to analyze the possible consequences on the society and the penalty system that a proposal for such increased penalties can have on young adults aged 18-20 years. SOU 2018:85 Slopad straffraba

This master thesis examines positions to long-term preservation of digital games in Sweden. Digital games are a new artform and type of cultural heritage but few actions have been taken to preserve them in an institutional context. If nothing is done now digital games risk disappearing very soon. The majority of long-term preservation of digital games has been performed by individual or groups

In the last decade, Indonesia has seen a series of massive social media activism, especially on Twitter. As the activists strive to make their social movement visible on Twitter, they also face some threats due to the uncertainty of Twitter algorithms and potential surveillance. As many scholars have studied the role of social media algorithms for activism, this study intends to investigate the be

Ett avgörande av Högsta domstolen kan endast angripas genom extraordinära rättsmedel. När Högsta domstolen får in en ansökan om resning eller klagan över domvilla i ett mål avgjort av Högsta domstolen är det som utgångspunkt andra justitieråd i domstolen än de som avgjorde det aktuella målet som prövar huruvida grund finns för att bevilja en sådan ansökan eller klagan. Dessa justitieråd kan då ha A decision by the Supreme Court can only be challenged through extraordinary remedies. When the Supreme Court receives an application for relief due to a substantive defect or a complaint on the grounds of grave procedural errors the general rule is that other justices of the Supreme Court than those who decided the case in question review whether there are grounds for granting such an application

Purpose: In this study, we examine the data from Chinese companies to test the relationship between cash flow and investment. While a wide assortment of previous research has examined the relationship between cash flow and investment, they have largely focused on empirical analysis from an US or a Western perspective. But, to date, little attention has been paid to such relationship using empirica

The initial mass function (IMF) describes the stellar mass distribution for a population of stars at birth. This parameter represents a topic of long standing discussion within astronomy due to its apparent insensitive nature to environmental conditions. However, in the last decade, significant evidence suggesting the contrary has been presented. Due to the role of the IMF as an input variable for

Beskattning av den digitala ekonomin har varit en av de mest centrala delarna i den internationella skattekontexten under det senaste decenniet. Digitaliseringen har gett upphov till nya affärsmodeller som har lett till ett ökat tryck på det internationella skattesystemet som inrättades på 1920-talet. Eftersom dagens internationella skatteregler inte har anpassats till den digitala affärsmiljön, fThe taxation of the digital economy has been the leading topic in the area of international taxation in the last decade. The ongoing digitalisation has introduced new business models which have led to increased pressure on the international tax system, which was established in the 1920s. As today’s international tax rules have not kept pace with the unique conditions linked to digital business mod

Det pågår just nu en omställning från fossila till förnyelsebara energiresurser. Exempel på förnyelsebara resurser är sol-, vind- och vattenkraft. Problemet är att energiproduktionen är beroende av att solen skiner, vinden blåser eller att vattnet flödar. Lösningen kan vara att lagra energin i smältsalter. I det här projektet utvecklades metoder för att internt kunna studera smältsaltskorrosion avMolten salt applications are challenging from a material perspective. This degree project was carried out at Alfa Laval to give them a better understanding of the corrosion of solar salt on the standard heat exchanger material stainless steel 321. Similar tests have previously been performed externally. By developing test methods for in-house corrosion testing time and money can be saved. In thi

This thesis focuses on the critical exploration of compositional modality on the film representation of collective memory and imagined nationalism construction in contemporary Chinese context. It aims at a further understanding of the surrounding societal and political contexts in the contribution of nationalism propaganda. Guided by the critical visual methodology proposed by Rose (2016), this re

I den första sektionen av denna uppsats behandlas hur alkohol- och drogmissbruk inverkar på bedömningen av grund för uppsägning eller avsked. De lagbestämmelser som är aktuella i denna del finns framförallt i lagen om anställningsskydd, arbetsmiljölagstiftningen samt socialförsäkringsbalken. Sjukdom utgör som huvudregel inte saklig grund för uppsägning utan arbetsgivaren har en skyldighet att försThe first section of this essay addresses how alcohol or drug addiction affects whether the employer has the right to terminate the employment or dismiss the employee. Relevant regulations are mainly found in the Employment Protection Act, the Work Environment Act and the Social Insurance Code. The main rule is that the employment cannot be terminated due to a person’s sickness if the employer has

Digitaliseringen har medfört svåra utmaningar för det nuvarande skattesystemet. Internationell bolagsbeskattning återspeglar tanken att ett företag måste vara fysiskt närvarande för att leverera varor eller tjänster på en marknad. Nya företagsmodeller möjliggör däremot att kunna nå ut till konsumenter utan någon fysisk närvaro. Det nuvarande internationella skatteregelverket gör det möjligt för boThe digitalisation has posed difficult challenges for the current tax system. International corporate taxation reflects the idea that a company must be physically present to deliver goods or services in a market. However, new business models allow companies to interact with consumers without being physically present. The current international tax regulations allow companies to generate significant

För under vilka förutsättningar stater kan reservera sig till vissa bestämmelser i traktat, som de ändock vill binda sig till, regleras framför allt i Wienkonventionens artikel 19. Stater får enligt denna artikel göra reservationer såvida inte: (a) en reservation är förbjuden enligt fördraget, (b) fördraget föreskriver att endast reservationer av visst slag får göras och reservationen inte är av dFor the conditions under which States may reserve themselves to certain provisions of a Convention, which they nevertheless wish to oblige themselves to, are regulated in Article 19 VCLT. States may make reservations under this Article unless: (a) a reservation is prohibited by the treaty, (b) the treaty provides that only reservations of a certain kind – and the reservation in question is not of

The Danish asylum system has experienced radical changes during 2019 in regards to asylum and refugee rights with the right-wing governing coalition’s introduction of Act 140. Central to Act 140 is the repatriation philosophy that is carried out in practice with an increased focus on temporary residency of refugees within the Danish asylum system as opposed to permanency. Thus, social integration

Nollbeskattningen av gemenskapsinterna förvärv i kombination med uppskjuten betalning av moms har möjliggjort karusellbedrägeri med moms på den EU-interna marknaden. Följaktligen har medlemsstaterna drabbas av utebliven moms som inte redovisas av ”missing traders”, samtidigt som den oskyldige affärspartnern till en ”missing trader” behåller sin rätt att återfå moms, vilket skapar en förlust för stThe zero-rating of intra-Community acquisitions in combination with the deferred payment of VAT has made it possible to employ carousel fraud with VAT on the internal EU market. Not only are the tax authorities in the different Member States losing out on VAT that is not accounted for by missing traders, but the innocent parties in business with the missing traders retain a right to refund VAT, le

Social services work with violent fathers The objective of this study was to review and analyze how social workers, employed by the Swedish social services, work with fathers that are domestically violent and to discuss their views and perceptions on this issue. Domestic violence is traditionally considered a private matter, and in the past has largely not been considered a child protection issue
