Background: At present a majority of older people remain in their ordinary homes. Research has generated knowledge about home and health dynamics and increased the awareness of the complexity of housing as related to ageing. As this knowledge is based mainly on research on very old, single-living people in ordinary housing there is a need to study other sub-groups of the ageing population. Thus, t
Syftet med detta arbete är att ta reda på vad som motiverar byggherrar att välja mer hållbara och framtidssäkra lösningar. Genom att identifiera de trender som byggherrarna känner är mest relevanta samt ta reda på vad de skulle kunna tjäna genom att agera mer hållbart ur de olika hållbarhetsperspektiven kan man hitta de drivkrafter som finns för att bygga mer hållbart. Dessa insikter kan sedan genThe purpose of this study is to find out what motivates developers to choose More sustainable solutions. By identifying trends that are most relevant for developers and find out what developers could gain by acting more futureoriented from the three perspectives of sustainability this study aims to find out what drives developers to build more sustainably. These insights can by comparison with the
Betong är ett byggnadsmaterial som har funnits och använts i tusentals år, dock i olika former och av olika slag. Idag är betong ett av de mest använda byggnadsmaterialen, inte minst som stommaterial vid uppförande av flerbostadshus och i konstruktioner belägna i hårt utsatta miljöer. Betong består i grunden av cement, ballast och vatten som beroende på sammansättning bildar betong med olika egenConcrete is a building material that has been used for centuries, in different variants and contexts. Today concrete is one of the most used construction materials, mainly as a load- bearing material in buildings such as multi-story buildings and other constructions, as well as constructions in harsh environments. Concrete consists of cement, ballast and water which, depending on the composition,
Denna uppsats tar utgångspunkt i hur och varför kriminalisering sker och undersöker vad som blivit resultatet av detta i fråga om människohandel och det för 2018 nya brottet människoexploatering. Uppsatsen tar avstamp i den exploatering som förekommer i samhället och gör detta från ett perspektiv som är mån om att se kvinnan. Uppsatsen beskriver hur man genom lagstiftning kan skydda de intressen sThis essay examines how and why the criminalization of acts take form in general and the specific outcome of this in regards to the regulation of human trafficking and the new provision on human exploitation. The essay describes the exploitation that occurs in society today from a perspective that aims to recognize the females being exploited. The essay describes how one can protect interests that
Prostitution as a construction - The social worker in the tension between society and the individual Discussions about prostitution seems to be of large interest for different feminist groups. The main discussions are about whether people sell sex as a result of free will, or if prostitution is a part of patriarchal structures, and that people selling sex, have been forced to do so in one way, or
Selektiv distribution är en distributionsform som innebär att de produkter som säljs inom systemet endast säljs till auktoriserade grossister och återförsäljare. De får i sin tur endast sälja till andra auktoriserade aktörer inom systemet eller till slutkund. För att bli auktoriserad ställs vanligtvis höga krav. De gäller bland annat krav på utbildad personal, försäljningsställets utformning och l
Most counterfeit goods are luxury goods bearing a well-known trademark. The counterfeit goods also can be protected by copyright/design protection. WIPO Intellectual Property Handbook: Policy, Law and Use (WIPO 2004, second edition) A counterfeit trademark is defined in Article 51 of the TRIPS as the following: "&semicCounterfeit trademark goods shall mean any goods, including packagin
Betong är ett av byggsektorns mest använda material, men cementproduktionen står för stora koldioxidutsläpp. Ett sätt att minska klimatpåverkan är att reducera andelen cementklinker genom att använda alternativa bindemedel. Vulkanisk puzzolan från Island, VPI är ett tillsatsmaterial från Heidelberg Materials Cement Sweden som kan användas tillsammans med cement som bindemedel i betong. TillsatsmatConcrete is one of the most widely used materials in the construction sector, but cement production is associated with a significant climate impact. One way to reduce this impact is to decrease the proportion of cement clinker by using alternative binders. Volcanic pozzolan from Iceland, VPI, is a supplementary material supplied by Heidelberg Materials Cement Sweden that can be used together with
Stress, Unmanageability, FOMO, and Lack of Recovery: A New Perspective on Adolescent Mental HealthToday, many of the challenges that adolescents face involve mental health issues, some of which have the potential of negatively affecting them for a long time to come. There is, however, at present a lack of a detailed account on the mental health issues experienced by adolescents in Sweden. This stu
Tundra soils account for 50% of global stocks of soil organic carbon (SOC), and it is expected that the amplified climate warming in high latitude could cause loss of this SOC through decomposition. Decomposed SOC could become hydrologically accessible, which increase downstream dissolved organic carbon (DOC) export and subsequent carbon release to the atmosphere, constituting a positive feedback
Rhythmic behaviors (in short RBs), such as applauding, dancing or rocking a baby to sleep are part of humans everyday life. Recently there has been a growing interest in the RBs of other species, as a way of tracking the evolutionary roots of human musicality. RBs have been initially studied in arthropods, insects, anurans and songbirds, where a single behaviour is tied to reproductive function. E
Plant species sometimes perform extraordinarily well when introduced to new environments, through achieving higher growth rates, individual biomasses or higher densities in their receiving communities compared to their native range communities. One hypothesis proposed to explain enhanced performance in species’ new environments is that their soil microbial communities may be different and provide
Our overall understanding of long-term climate dynamics is largely based on proxy data generated from archives such as ice cores, ocean sediments, tree rings, speleothems, and corals, whereas reconstructions of long-term changes in vegetation and associated climate during the Holocene are largely based on paleoecological records from peat and lake sequences, primarily pollen and plant macrofossil
Drought is predicted to increase in the future due to climate change, bringing with it myriad impacts on ecosystems. Plants respond to drier soils by reducing stomatal conductance in order to conserve water and avoid hydraulic damage. Despite the importance of plant drought responses for the global carbon cycle and local and regional climate feedbacks, land surface models are unable to capture obs
In 2018, up to 4 million m3 Norway spruce was killed by the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus in Sweden. The event was unique for Sweden, in terms of both affected volume and the fact that it was triggered by severe drought stress, not by ample availability of relatively defenseless storm-felled trees. The outbreak continued in 2019 and 2020, each year with twice as many trees killed as in 2018.
Financial services and cross-border financial activities have developed considerably due to the globalisation of the economy. The utilisation of these new opportunities has, however, attracted financial activities that relates to money laundering.
