Internationella skiljeförfaranden blir allt vanligare i den globala ekonomin. De sker ofta i neutral jurisdiktion där ingen av parterna, till synes, gynnas av vald jurisdiktions lagar. Skiljeförfaranden anses ofta som en av de bättre tvistelösningsformerna då de är effektiva, förutsebara och parterna får själva utforma förfarandena. Det är speciellt fördelaktigt om de rättsliga relationerna mellan
Fjärrvärme är en teknologi som har stor potential att bidra till att möjliggöra ett fossilfritt samhälle. För att uppnå denna potential, finns det dock en del förbättringar som måste göras för att förbättra fjärrvärmeverksamheten i stort, minska förlusterna från systemen och därmed öka konkurrenskraften hos fjärrvärme som teknologi. Ett flertal studier har visat att ett sätt att göra detta, och däDistrict Heating is a technology with the potential to enable a fossil-free society. However, to realize this potential, some improvements need to be made in order to improve District Heating operation at large, decrease losses in the systems, and thus increase the competitiveness of District Heating as a technology. Several have shown that a possible solution, to increase the efficiency of Distri
Aktiebolaget är en mycket framgångsrik företagsform för storskaliga och riskfyllda projekt. En egenskap som anses betydelsefull för denna egenskap är aktiebolagets vinstsyfte. Idag finns aktiebolag som ekonomiskt och i fråga om politiskt inflytane kan mäta sig med stater. Detta innebär att de kan ha stor påveran exempelvis på människors tillgång till mänskliga rättigheter. I denna kontext uppmanasThe limited liability company is a form of business associaton that has advantages that makes it attractive for large and risky business entreprises. One characteristic that is viewed as importand for this quality is that the business purpose is increased shareholder value. Today, limited liability companies exists that rival nation states on scale and political impact. As a consequence they can a

This techno-economic study aims to make an initial assessment of the potential of recycling heat and oxygen from an electrolyzer. The goal is to calculate the internal rate of return and payback time of investing in a 20 MW electrolyzer and necessary auxiliary equipment f
Popular Abstract in Swedish Resultaten som presenteras i denna doktorsavhandling visar att det går att spara stora mängder energi genom att använda samma typ av värmeväxlare, som normalt används i bilar och lastbilar, i livsmedelsbutikernas kyldiskar. För att hålla maten kall när den ligger ute i butiken cirkuleras en kyld luftström runt i kyldiskarna. Denna kyls i en så kallad värmeväxlare som Provisions are stored and displayed in supermarkets and grocery stores, at a temperature lower than the ambient, in display cabinets, which are responsible for a significant amount of the energy use in this sector. During the 1990s, major changes in the regulations governing the use of synthetic refrigerants took place in Sweden. This resulted in many refrigeration systems being converted to syste
Popular Abstract in English Over thirty years of experience shows that energy efficiency is the easiest, fastest, and cheapest strategy to reduce today’s rampant energy use. To enhance energy efficiency, governmental intervention and business strategies are needed. The question of which governmental policies are the most effective to support energy efficiency remains unanswered. Policy learning anExperience shows that energy efficiency improvements are the most cost-effective path to meeting global energy challenges. To promote energy efficiency, various policy instruments have been in place since the 1970s. Nevertheless, energy efficiency improvements still lag behind their potential in the building sector, which indicates that there is a lack of knowledge about the performance of policie
Abstract Toxic cyanobacterial blooms can form in both freshwater and marine environments, which could threaten the health of human beings and animals. The genera that are known for causing the scums in freshwater are Anabaena, Microcystis, Cylindrospermopsis and Planktothrix. In order to control lake water quality and minimize the potential health risk associated with the cyanobacterial blooms, th
Purpose: With increasing obesity rates and the change of beauty ideals within society, the plus-size fashion market currently enjoys a massive upturn and many established fashion retailers realise the opportunities within this ever more important segment. However, the integration of plus-size brands can be challenging as being plus-size is still connected to a stigma. Therefore, it is surprising t
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease is characterized by an abnormal increase of phosphorylated tau (pTau) species in the CSF. It has been suggested that emergence of different pTau forms may parallel disease progression. Therefore, targeting multiple specific pTau forms may allow for a deeper understanding of disease evolution and underlying pathophysiology. Current immunoassays measure pTau epitopes
High spatial resolution X-ray microscopy has become a dedicated tool to study nanocrystals and nanostructure devices in recent years. In general, the spatial resolution of X-ray microscopy depends on the spot size of the X-ray beam and the pixel size of X-ray detectors. High-resolution X-ray detection ideally requires a minimal active region with a sufficient thickness for the X-ray absorption, wh
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning:En studie publicerad av NASA:s Goddard Institute for Space Studies år 2019 visade att de genomsnittliga globala temperaturerna under de senaste fyra åren (2015-2018) var de högsta som någonsin registrerats i människans historia. Den nyheten passar väl in i de alarmerande prognoserna om global uppvärmning, och kräver snabba och radikala handlingar. Att studera “teInnovative design and materials are needed to satisfy the demand for efficient and scalable devices for electronic and opto-electronic applications, such as transistors, LEDs, and solar cells. Nanostructured III-V semiconductors are an appealing solution, combining the excellent functional properties of III-V materials with the flexibility typical of nanostructures, such as the nanowires (NWs) stu
Abstract The increased focus on social capital theory has made its way into labour economics. This has led to the creation of a vast literature about the use of networks and informal search methods in the labour-market, a literature that to some extent also deals with immigrants search behaviour and their relatively high unemployment rate. Characteristic for the literature in the area is the lack
Europeiska unionen (EU) är en internationell organisation bestående av 28 medlemsstater. Ett av EU:s främsta mål är att främja fri rörlighet för EU-medborgare. När personer väljer att flytta över medlemsstaternas gränser kan olika situationer uppstå. Personer kan exempelvis gifta sig och skaffa barn med någon från en annan medlemsstat. Den materiella familjerätten inom EU är emellertid inte harmonThe European Union (EU) is an international organisation with 28 Member States.

Bostadsmarknaden har genomgått flertal förändringar sedan 1990-talet och haft en positiv trend under 2000-talet. De senaste åren har marknaden för nyproducerade bostadsrätter förändrats på grund av kreditrestriktionerna som införts. Fastighetsutvecklare har svårare att hitta köpare som är villiga att teckna bindande förhandsavtal och det råder en viss osäkerhet på marknaden för nyproducerade bostaThe housing market in Sweden has had a positive trend since the 1990s. In recent years, the market for newly produced condominiums has changed due to credit restrictions enforced by new legislation. To sell condominiums for new production, binding preliminary contracts (in Swedish: förhandsavtal) and special tenure contracts (in Swedish: Upplåtelseavtal) are used. In those contracts the seller und
Betsafe is still a young company that have seen a great success in a short span of time. To remain successful it is therefore important that they don’t become complacent and remain visionary. However, a successful company must also balance its risk‐taking. In the end it is vital to find the right opportunities that fits the company and of course to be able to make the right decisions. In this proj
One third of Sweden's total annual greenhouse gas emissions originate from the transport sector today and great changes are thus needed in order to reach the net zero emission target by 2045. One of the most important measures discussed is an increased electrification of the transport sector and a solution with potential to contribute to this transition is electric road systems (ERS), where ve
Personer som vistas i Sverige utan tillstånd, papperslösa, har enligt lag (2013:407) om hälso- och sjukvård till vissa utlänningar som vistas i Sverige utan nödvändiga tillstånd, rätt att erhålla en begränsad hälso- och sjukvård. Bland annat ska regioner erbjuda gruppen ”vård som inte kan anstå”. Begreppet har av yrkesverksamma, frivilligorganisationer och myndigheter kritiserats för att vara svårPeople staying in Sweden without permit – undocumented migrants – have, according to the Act (2013:407) on health care for certain foreigners who are staying in Sweden without necessary permits, a right to receive limited health care. Among other things, Swedish regions must offer this group “care that cannot be deferred”. This wording has been criticized by medical professionals, organizations, a
There has been an increasing interest in wastewater treatment in last decades to reduce human footprint. Primarily, anaerobic technology focused on treatment and stabilization of sludge, but now the tendency is to give it a major role in low cost treatment of high/low strength wastewaters, since anaerobic digestion offers energy generation through gas production. Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (A
We can more and more often hear in the media about multinational corporations conducting human rights abuses. This is due to the fact that this discussion, surrounding corporations and human rights, is a hot item on the agenda today. Higher demands are put on the companies to follow human rights and to take more responsibilities in the promotion and protection of human rights. One of the reasons f
Under början av 1900-talet införde alla nordiska länder, förutom Norge, en möjlighet för frihetsberövade kvinnor att medföra sitt spädbarn i anstalten under straffverkställigheten. Regleringarna grundades på arvsbiologiska aspekter, då det var vanligt att de små barnen fortfarande ammades av sina mödrar och de var beroende av modersmjölken för att överleva. Med tiden har dock regleringarnas syfte In the beginning of the 20th century all Nordic countries except Norway introduced a possibility for imprisoned women to bring their infants with them during their sentence. The legislation was considered necessary due to the fact that the infant still was breast-fed by their mother. Child psychologist and psychoanalysist John Bowlby (from Great Britain) developed the affiliation theory during th
