This study reports increasing iron concentrations in rivers draining into the Baltic Sea. Given the decisive role of iron to the structure and biogeochemical function of aquatic ecosystems, this trend is likely one with far reaching consequences to the receiving system. What those consequences may be depends on the fate of the iron in estuarine mixing. We here assess the stability of riverine iron
Oxyfuel process is a promising technique for carbon capture and storage, and a new application of perovskite-type oxide is as oxygen carrier for CO2 capture in oxy-fuel combustion system. This study proposed a novelty process and an optimization study on the synthesis of the BaCoO3-delta perovskite powders using microwave-assisted EDTA method. OA(16) (4(5)) orthogonal experiments were employed to
This dissertation considers two different aspects of health economics; (i) stated preference methods and (ii) empirical analyses of equity. The first essay deals with the issue of the choice of econometric models when analysing data from a closed-ended contingent valuation survey in health economics. The features of provision, either compulsory or voluntary, and the fact that certain individuals m
Background and problem: In October 2010 the European Commission issued a Green Paper on Audit Policy in which they set out to draw lessons of the auditors’ role in the recent financial crisis. The European Commission considers the function of the audit to be a key contributor to investor confidence and suggests a number of controversial measures with the aim of ensuring financial stability in the
China is a mega-diversity country with abundant natural resources, and the richness of these resources is demonstrated to be relevant with the local people’s historical interactions between biophysical and sociocultural systems. If we are to maintain biodiversity and strike a balance between human well-being and ecosystem service, it is important to incorporate the local people and their tradition
In England saltmarshes account for less than 0.5% of the land area, however they have a very high biodiversity value and provide significant economic and social worth. Climate change, continuous coastal urbanisation, and port development are a serious concern for coastal protection planners, city councils and the government. It is a challenge for these decision makers to balance the social, econom
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka de för parfymtillverkare tillgängliga varumärkes- och marknadsrättsliga verktygen mot snålskjutsfenomenet ”smell-alikes”, dvs. efterbildningar av välkända märkesparfymer av lägre kvalitet som säljs för en bråkdel av originalpriset. I avsaknad av ett självklart, juridiskt varumärkesskydd för dofter lämnas producenterna att förlita sig på det varumärkesrätThe aim of this paper is to investigate the legal tools available for perfume producers in trademark and market law against the free-riding phenomenon “smell-alikes”, i.e. imitations of famous brand perfumes of lower quality sold at a fraction of the original price. In the absence of evident legal trademark protection for fragrances, manufacturers have to rely on the trademark protection granted
Supercritical fluid extraction method was optimized and applied to extract seed oil from baobab seed (Adansonia digitata L.). A full-factorial design was used to investigate the interaction influence of density and temperature in the range of 0.6-0.8 g/ml 40 to 77 °C, respectively, on the extracted amount of oil from crushed seeds. The results showed that density has a significant influence on the
Investing based on environmental, social, and governmental (ESG) criteria has grown rapidly in recent years. The trend has been driven by both an increased interest in sustainability, and the fact that ESG related corporate events have been shown to influence stock prices. In tandem with this development, a number of companies has pioneered methods to quantify a firm’s ESG performance. One of thes
If as Hersch Lauterpact stated in the most overly quoted Humanitarian Lawyers phrase in Oppenheim's International Law, International Humanitarian Law lies at the vanishing point of International Law, then I would posit that it is only the continuance of education particularly education in LOAC that prevents it from vanishing altogether. The preservation of the buildings housing that education
The purpose of the study is to investigate how the legal parenthood is regulated in the law now in force. I focus on the establishing of paternity and motherhood as well as on how parenthood is regulated in the situation of an artificial insemination. The focus of my investigation is on the best interest of the child in question. I have also put the subject of parenthood in a historical context to
Uppsatsen beskriver gällande rätt vid umgängestvister rörande barn och dess föräldrar i FN:s Barnkonvention, i den europeiska konventionen angående skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna och i svensk rätt. Uppsatsens syfte är att med hjälp av gällande rätt undersöka huruvida umgängesreglerna innebär en rättighet eller en skyldighet för barn att umgås med föräldrarna. This paper describes the current law concerning the right of access between children and parents in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and in Swedish law. The intent of this paper is to discuss whether the current law regarding access makes it a right or an obligation for a child to
Over the past two decades, immigrant-receiving countries have been confronted with honour crimes. In a number of Western European countries, there have been cases of police failure to intervene in cases of honour crimes occurring in migrant communities. The authorities responses to honour crimes have consistently been inadequate, as they do not take victims of honour crimes seriously and fail to p
This investigation concerns written output produced by Swedish learners of English as a second language (L2) and French as a third language (L3). The analysed texts were rated according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which is a widespread and language-independent document commonly used to assess communicative competence based on six main proficiency levels (A1,
Ett takeover-erbjudande är ett offentligt erbjudande till aktieägarna i ett noterat aktiebolag (målbolag) om att förvärva samtliga eller en del av deras aktier. Styrelsen i målbolaget intar en viktig roll vid förhandlingarna med köparen (budgivaren). Härigenom kan styrelsen potentiellt influera avgivandet eller genomförandet av ett takeover-erbjudande. Denna uppsats undersöker hur styrelsens handlA takeover bid is a public offer to the shareholders of a listed limited liability company (target company) to acquire all or some of their shares. The board of directors of the target company assumes an important role in the negotiations with the buyer (bidder). Hereby, the board can plausibly influence the launching and implementation of a takeover bid. This thesis examines how the board’s discr
Återfall i brottslighet har under alla tider varit ett vanligt förekommande problem. Unga personer, dömda till sluten ungdomsvård, löper på grund av sin låga ålder extra stor risk att återfalla i brott. Svensk statistik uppvisar att så många som 60 procent återfaller i brottslighet redan inom ett års tid. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vilka orsaker som kan hänföras till återfall i brottslighet efRecidivism has always been a common problem. Young people, who are convicted and subjected to closed institutional youth care detention (LSU) runs, due to their young age, a particularly high risk to reoffend. Swedish criminal statistics shows that as many as 60 percent relapse into crime within a year. The purpose of this essay is to investigate the causes that can be attributed to relapse into c
