Despite that freight transports account for a notable and increasing share of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, previous studies have identified that buyers of freight transport services often do not engage sufficiently to reduce emissions from the freight transports they purchase. An aspect that has not been adequately investigated, however, is how transport purchasers are influenced by new
The complexity and importance of the eyes of a rather simple organism, the bee, is apparent when looking at the adaptation to their environment. The so called compound eyes consists of multiple facets, each having their own point of view and combined results in a larger image. For being able to study the magnificent eyes on a bee's head, there have been in recent studies an increase by X-ray t
Entreprenader löper stor risk att utsättas för hinder som medför att den avta-lade kontraktstiden inte kan hållas. Det kan exempelvis handla om extrema väderförhållanden som försvårar arbetet, eller arbetsområden som inte är tillgängliga för entreprenören på grund av en sidoentreprenör. Den här uppsatsen syftar till att utreda frågan om när ett hinder kan anses bero på beställaren, eller något förDuring the course of construction, there is a high risk of events that cause delays for the contractor. These events can for example con¬sist of extreme weather conditions that are obstructing the construction works, or the work area being occupied by sub-contractors. This thesis aims to investigate un¬der what conditions the contractor can be given extension of time and/or compensation for prolon
Bakgrund: Tidigare studier har visat att Svenskt index för akutmedicinsk larmmottagning har svårt att prediktera vilka patienter som är akut sjuka respektive icke akut sjuka. Det kan innebära att ambulanssjukvården får köra ett onödigt stort antal uppdrag med hög prioritet vilket i sin tur leder till ökad belastning samt ökade risker, framförallt i trafiken. Vårdcentraler kan göra beställning av a
Arbetsvägran är i grund och botten ett allvarligt brott mot anställningsavtalet. I och med begreppets komplexitet uppstår dock situationer som inte alltid är enkla att förutse. På grund av det nyss anförda vaknade vårt intresse kring arbetsvägran och dess rättsliga konsekvenser, vilket sedermera la grunden för denna uppsats. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka och analysera rättsläget kring arbets“Refusal to work” is fundamentally a serious violation of the employment contract. Through its complexity, however, there are situations regarding “refusal of work” which is not easy to foresee. Our interest in the topic emerged from that complexity, and layed the basic ground for our essay. The purpose of this essay is to investigate and analyze the legal position regarding “refusal to work”. To
Reindeer husbandry has long been a central element of the traditional livelihood and culture of indigenous Sami people in northern Sweden. However, it faces several challenges from competing land uses, primarily forestry. Different forest conditions are desired by forestry and reindeer husbandry to accommodate each sectors’ distinct interests, promoting high timber and pulp production or improved
Äldre anställdas ställning på arbetsmarknaden är onekligen osäker. I detta arbete försöker jag att räta ut och förstå hur äldre arbetstagare är skyddade på arbetsmarknaden genom att undersöka hur gällande rätt är designat. Detta görs genom en komparativ studie mellan Sverige och Kina, där en rad olika undersökningsområden kopplat till anställningsskydd för äldre bearbetas. Arbetet berör och förklaThe status of the elderly on the labour market is undeniably precarious. In this thesis, I am trying to straighten out how the elderly are protected on the labour market and how the legislation to protect them is designed. This is done through a comparative study between Sweden and China, where a number of research areas associated with employment protection for elderly are processed. I am, in thi
The global pandemic of Covid-19 has drastically changed the behaviour of citizens around the world. This research aims to identify actions that ensure low-carbon, inclusive forms of mobility that respond to the behavioural changes during Covid-19. The city of Hamburg, Germany, and its problems with transport-related emissions and socio-economic inequalities serve as a representative case study. Th
I slutet av 2019 presenterade Kommissionen meddelandet om den gröna given – EU:s nya tillväxtstrategi för att nå klimatneutralitet 2050. Den nya strategin fick till följd att Kommissionen tog initiativ till en revision av TEN-E. Ett av TEN-E:s syften är att underlätta genomförandet av PCI vilka antas enligt särskilda urvalskriterier i artikel 4 TEN-E. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda hur dessa urvalIn 2019, the European commission presented the Green Deal - the EU's new growth strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The new strategy led the Commission to initiate a review of the legislation regarding TEN-E. One of the purposes of TEN-E is to adopt PCI projects. The purpose of the essay is to examine how these selection criteria may change due to the Green Deal by addressing two

The Swedish rules for closely held companies were enacted to combat income conversion abuse in limited liability companies where natural persons acted as both owners and employees. In the Swedish Income Tax Act, employment income is taxed according to a progressive rate while capital income is taxed according to a flat rate. The wage remuneration rule may increase the amount of dividend that the a
Small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) are a complex solution for Saskatchewan’s energy transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon sources. As Saskatchewan predominantly relies on fossil fuels for its electricity needs, the consideration of SMRs by SaskPower is in hopes of decreasing carbon emissions and maintaining energy security. SMRs offer several advantages, including modularity, grid stabilit
Sweden is one of the countries in Europe with the largest percentage of volunteers in the population. At the same time, challenges in the society are increasing. Events such as the migration crisis 2015, the wildfires 2018 and the Covid-19 pandemic have shown an expanding interest among people to contribute to society. As a private person it can be hard to know where to start when wanting to becom
Mexico City’s water system is not sustainable. There is an unfair inequality gap in the quantity and quality of water access for its residents. Moreover, the groundwater aquifers in the city are being over-exploited and polluted. This has resulted in the sinking of the city, damage to the ecosystems, and the reduction of water access to Mexico City’s residents. As the policies are a direct instrum
Soil as a fundamental, conditionally renewable natural resource is increasingly under threat from unsustainable farming practices in a changing environment. In Hungary, expansive areas of land are susceptible to soil degradation, while only a small percentage of farmers currently applies soil conservation practices (SCPs). Degraded soils have an impact on food production, climate adaptation, clima
Objectives: Romania joined to European Union (EU) in 2007. Consequently, the number of EU citizens of Roma descent increased in Sweden as the movement of freedom was granted. This study attempts to understand the conceptualisation and reason for underreporting hate crimes in Malmö, Sweden. Methods: Qualitative data collection methods of semi-structured interview and participant observation were e
In recent years, the drawbacks of parallel systems in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) have been acknowledged in professional and academic communities, where the need for integration of the two fields in connection to development has been stressed. In this regard, the concept of resilience as an antithesis of risks has also been considered. In this study, a scoping
Meeting international climate goals require a major reallocation of global investment portfolios. However, in 2016, 74%. of all assets under management were still socially and environmentally unchecked. Research has started to address how finance can support the low-carbon transition, but little is known about how the financial sector itself perceives this transition. This thesis seeks to 1) ident
Ett sätt för enskilda att försvara sina rättigheter som följer av Europakonventionen och få upprättelse för en överträdelse, är att väcka skadeståndstalan i domstol. Rättegångskostnadernas inverkan på enskildas möjlighet att försvara sina rättigheter gentemot staten har länge varit föremål för diskussion och frågan fick en central roll i teorin om Access to Justice på 1970-talet. Uppsatsen utrederOne way for individuals to assert their rights and receive compensation for damage when their rights have been violated, is to litigate for action for damages. The cost of litigating has for long been subject of discussion regarding individuals’ possibilities to claim their rights against the public. The matter was given a central role in the Access to Justice discussion in the 1970s. This essay e
