Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Klimatet har sedan den industriella revolutionen förändrats globalt och kommer att förändras ytterligare i framtiden, på grund av människans utsläpp av växthusgaser. Enligt vetenskapliga beräkningar kommer klimatet att bli varmare, vilket i sin tur leder till att den globala havsnivån kommer att stiga. Hela världen kommer drabbas, även Sverige. Därför krävs det aSince the industrial revolution the global climate has changed and will change further in the future. According to scientific estimations the climate will get warmer, which will rise the global sea level. The whole world will be affected, also Sweden. It is therefore necessary to adapt society for the estimated climate change to reduce negative effects. In May 2012 a change in the Swedish law of

Walking plays an essential role in sustainable transport systems, as nearly all journeys in the urban environment incorporate walking in one way or another. In parts of the world, for long periods of the year, seasonal variation in daylight hours means that pedestrians must rely on outdoor lighting to make cities accessible after dark. However, outdoor lighting is associated with considerable ener

Vad kostar det om ett exploateringsprojekt stöter på oförutsedda problem kopplade till naturvärden som man måste ta hänsyn till vid en markexploatering? Hur kan naturvärden egentligen påverka den ekonomiska kalkylen i ett projekt om de dyker upp som en överraskning under projektutvecklingen? Intressant är även att undersöka om det med träffsäkerhet går att identifiera, men också att prissätta och What is the cost if a development project encounters unforeseen difficulties related to values in nature that must be considered during a land development? How can natural values affect the balance sheet of a project if they appear as a surprise during project development? It is also interesting to investigate whether it is possible or not to identify and price risks related to nature in the proje

Interpersonal processes - A quantitative study of how staff within youth welfare perceives the importance of the relationship with the youth in the treatment You occasionally meet the opinion that treatment within institutional youth care doesn’t work out well, even though the intentions of the care provided by SiS (The National Board of Institutional Care in Sweden) are that it shall. If the met

I dagens informationssamhälle är ett av företagens viktigaste konkurrensmedel hur medarbetarna tar till sig, bearbetar och förmedlar information, med andra ord hur de kommunicerar. Kraven har blivit högre på internkommunikationen i moderna organisationer, vilket har fått konsekvenser för människors yrkesroll, vars mjuka värden prioriteras såsom förmågan att kommunicera. Därför är det av intresse a

Förvaltningsbeslut som gått den enskilde emot kan överklagas i enlighet med bestämmelserna i förvaltningslagen (1986:223). Denna ordning gäller för samtliga som befinner sig under svensk jurisdiktion oberoende av medborgarskap och oaktat huruvida personen i fråga har tillstånd att vistas i landet eller inte. Dock tillåts inte alla beslut fattade av svenska förvaltningsmyndigheter överklagas enligtDecisions made by the public administration of the Swedish state can be appealed in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act (förvaltningslagen, 1986:223). The Administrative Procedure Act is applicable to anyone who is under Swedish jurisdiction regardless if the person has a permit to reside in Sweden or not. However, all decisions by public administration cannot be appealed in accordanc

the most obvious problem at Traction today is the in-between handling that demands much time and resources. The reason is that the packages are not designed with handling in mind. Several of the packages of today also have a poor degree of utilization that means there is room for a fewer number of articles. That in turn means more packages, more transports, more storage space and more staff. On th

Allt sedan Öresundsbron öppnades år 2000 har både pendlingen över landsgränserna och integrationen i Öresundsregionen gått stadigt framåt. Det pendlas dagligen fram och tillbaka från bostaden i det ena landet till arbetet i det andra, framför allt är pendling över landsgränsen från bostaden i Sverige till arbetet i Danmark omfattande. Det finns alltid en risk för att en inkomsttagare blir dubbelThe commuting and the integration in the Öresund region have progressed ever since the bridge between Denmark and Sweden opened up for traffic in the year of 2000. Every day commuting across the border from the residence in one country to the place of work in the other country is taking place. The commuting between the residence in Sweden to the place of work in Denmark is the far most frequent.

Lipsky launched in the 1980:s his theory about street-level bureaucracy. It was a study which revealed that public service workers had considerable discretion in how to execute their jobs and therefore function as policy decision makers. This thesis adress this question by analyzing if Lipskys street-level bureaucracy can explain the differences in management between two forest fires in Sweden at

År 2014 antogs direktiv 2014/65EU, även kallat MiFID II. Direktivet reglerar bland annat hur finansiella institut ska organisera sin verksamhet för att skydda kundernas intresse i de fall kunderna handlar med finansiella instrument. Direktivet är skrivet med ett starkt kundskydd och harmoniserad inre marknad som mål. Två år senare, 2016, antogs direktiv 2016/97, även kallat IDD. IDD är motsvarandeThe financial crisis 2008 revealed several weaknesses in the regulation on the financial markets. It was evident that a new, stricter, regulation was needed to be created. Directive 2014/65EU, MiFID II and directive 2016/97, IDD, is a part of the new financial regulation. MiFID II regulates how financial institutes can interact with investors, when investors seek to buy or sell financial instrumen

Using a mixed-methods approach, we assessed understanding of risks from exposure to the non-threshold carcinogen hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) among workers (n = 113) and occupational health and safety managers (n = 13) at 14 worksites with potential exposure to Cr(VI). We found that 55% of the workers had a measurable concentration of inhalable Cr(VI), with 19% exceeding 1 µg/m3, a level that corr

Background: Blood cultures (BCs) are key diagnostic elements for sepsis patients. Accurate preanalytical procedures are substantial, and results should be available as soon as possible to guide adequate antimicrobial treatment. This study aimed to evaluate BC collection practices and diagnostic capacity across European hospitals. Methods: This cross-sectional survey investigated BC diagnostics in

Background. National as well as international Parkinson's disease (PD) treatment guidelines are available to guide clinicians. Previous research has shown that nonmotor symptoms (NMS) are pronounced in late-stage PD and has suggested that current treatment is insufficient and could be improved. Objectives. The aim of this study was to investigate to which degree the national and international trea

Denna uppsats undersöker failing firm-doktrinen ur ett rättsekonomiskt perspektiv och granskar vilka samhällsekonomiska konsekvenser som tillämpandet av doktrinen ger upphov till jämfört med om doktrinen inte tillämpas. För att kunna göra denna undersökning utreder uppsatsen inledningsvis vad failing firm-doktrinen egentligen innebär, när den är tillämplig, vilka krav som uppställs för dess tillämThis paper examines the failing firm doctrine through a law and economics perspective and audits the economic impact of the doctrine. The thesis initially examines the meaning of the failing firm doctrine, when it is applicable, the requirements for its applicability and how it has been addressed in case law. The thesis then turns to examine the socio-economic consequences that application of the

Background: Unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, including unhealthy alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, smoking, and nonadherence to dietary recommendations, are major contributors to non-communicable diseases and mortality. While adopting healthy behaviours can reduce these risks in middle-aged adults, research is limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the distribution of unhea

In December 2014 the requirement increased on pre-packed food labelling when the regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 entered into force. Two important changes were that allergen information must be emphasised in the ingredients list and a minimum font size must be used for the obligatory information on food labels. It´s crucial that grocery stores follow the food legislation, so that consumers and especi

Protesting against human rights violations is dangerous. Worldwide, human rights defenders are subject to violations ranging from harassment to murder. One way in which human rights defenders are silenced is through the misuse of the national judicial system where it is employed to punish human rights defenders for their work. Vague laws contribute to making this possible because they obfuscate th

In 2014, Trelleborg municipality pointed out tät blandstad (the compact city) to be the main strategy for the city’s future development. This work addresses the common Swedish planning strategy, towards the compact city through densification strategies, with a focus on density and diversity and the relationship between them. This is done with a broad example of literature referring to quality of l

We consider the stationary loss rate l(K) of a GI/G/1 queue with finite buffer of size K. Let X-n = U-n - T-n, n >= 1 where U-n is the service time, T-n is the interarrival time and let rho be the traffic intensity. We derive sharp asymptotics for the loss rate as K -> infinity, in the cases (i): rho > 1, and (ii): rho < 1 and X-n non-lattice with light tails. We also look at another reflection, r
