This Bachelor’s thesis follows aspects of environmental degradation stemming from the policies of the Chinese Communist Party over the latter half of the 20th century. These start with The Great Leap Forward in ’58 in which people were exhorted to convert as much land to agriculture as possible, construct dams and implement agricultural techniques that in the long-term proved unsustainable and des

In this master’s thesis The Hedge Monte-Carlo method (HMC) is evaluated. The HMC method is used to price financial derivatives and at the same time obtain optimal hedge portfolios. The optimal hedge is of great importance as it enables risk management in option trading. The advantage of this method is also that different types of options with features like path-dependent and early exercise can be
There is a well-documented large positive correlation between education and health and yet it remains unclear as to whether this is a causal relationship. Potential reasons for this lack of clarity include estimation using different methods, analysis of different populations and school reforms that are different in design. In this paper we assess whether the type of school reform, the instrument a
I svensk rätt men även av Europadomstolen har det ansetts möjligt att tillmäta en tilltalads tystnad eller icke trovärdiga förklaring en för denne negativ bevis-verkan genom åläggandet av en förklaringsbörda. Uppsatsens syfte är att un-dersöka om denna förklaringsbörda i ljuset av bevisrättsliga principer samt rättspsykologisk forskning är lämplig att använda i brottmål. För att uppfylla syftet koIn Swedish law as well as by the European Court of Human Rights it has been considered possible to draw adverse inferences from a defendant’s si-lence or non-credible explanation by imposing a burden of explanation (förklaringsbörda). The purpose of this essay is to investigate whether this burden of explanation in light of principles of evidence law and forensic psy-chological research is appropr
Following the introduction of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by the European Commission, the complexity of sustainability reporting increased significantly concerning a vast number of companies. The lack of consideration in the literature on the implications it will have on the business strategy can create negative perceptions of the directive’s integration process for the

Den 1 juli 2018 trädde den nya förvaltningslagen (2017:900) i kraft. I lagen ges enskilda, genom införandet av en dröjsmålstalan, för första gången i svensk förvaltningsrätt en generell rätt att föra talan mot förvaltningsmyndigheters passivitet. Om unionsrätten inte anger annat kommer den nya dröjsmålstalan, enligt principen om medlemsstaternas processuella autonomi, att tillämpas även vid förval
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to comprehend female millennial consumers’ perceptions towards lingerie brands that are categorised as ‘Brand Activist Aspirants’ compared to ‘Authentic Brand Activists’. Methodology: As this research focuses on studying consumers’ perceptions, a subjective social constructionist view was taken. By using an abductive approach, an exploratory qualitative resear
Den här studien syftar till att genom kvalitativa intervjuer lyfta några tidigare elevers röster för att se vad som motiverade dem i celloundervisningen på kulturskolan och vilka faktorer som påverkade dem att sluta ta lektioner. Studien genomfördes genom tre enskilda intervjuer med två före detta celloelever och en nuvarande celloelev, som under cirka ett år tog uppehåll från cellolektionerna. LiThis study aims to, through qualitative interviews, highlight the voices of pupils who have dropped out of the culture school, to see what motivated them in the cello education at the culture school and what factors influenced them to stop taking lessons. The study was conducted through three individual interviews with two previous cello pupils and one current cello pupil, which for a period took
Från och med 2022 ställer Boverket krav på att klimatpåverkan från nyproducerade byggnader ska redovisas uttryckt i kg koldioxidekvivalenter per kvadratmeter bruttoarea. Den s.k klimatdeklarationen utgår från livscyklisk metodik där produktskedet och byggproduktionsskedet omfattas. I klimatdeklarationen ska även periodiskt underhåll och livslängder för klimatskalet noteras. Många branschaktörer arAs of 2022, the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning (Boverket) is requiring that the climate impact from newly developed buildings has to be calculated and reported in terms of kg carbon dioxide equivalents per m² of gross area. The so-called climate declaration is based on life-cycle methodology and covers the product stage and the construction process stage. Periodic mainten
Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) develops upon exposure to certain chemical compounds termed skin sensitizers. To reduce the occurrence of skin sensitizers, chemicals are regularly screened for their capacity to induce sensitization. The recently developed Genomic Allergen Rapid Detection (GARD) assay is an in vitro alternative to animal testing for identification of skin sensitizers, classifying
In this paper, we propose a design framework for distributed embedded control systems that ensures reliable execution and high quality of control even if some computation nodes fail. When a node fails, the configuration of the underlying distributed system changes and the system must adapt to this new situation by activating tasks at operational nodes. The task mapping as well as schedules and con
Popular Abstract in Swedish I Big Bang skapades 3 grundämnen: H, He, och spår av Li. Alla andra grundämnen har bildats i stjärnor. Lågmassiva stjärnor som vår sol kan genom kärnreaktioner skapa grundämnen upp till och med syre i det periodiska systemet, medan mer massiva stjärnor kan skapa grundämnen ända upp till järn. Tyngre grundämnen än järn produceras in slutstadierna av stjärnornas liv, tillAll the elements heavier than Li are created during stellar evolution. Even if our knowledge of this process is good, many questions still remain. For instance, the odd-Z iron-peak elements Sc, V, Mn, and Co together with neutron-capture elements Sr, Zr, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, and Eu have still unclear production sites because theoretical models and observational evidences are not in agreement. Having a
This article discusses problems concerning the use of colour in botanical illustrations, focusing on a specific species, the Orchis ustulata (Burnt Orchid). In 1901–1905 the Swedish botanist Carl Lindman (1856–1928) was responsible for the publication of the Swedish flora Bilder ur Nordens flora, that was, in some ways, a reworking of J. W. Palmstruch’s Svensk botanik (1802–1843).
