The formation of industry standards for environmental issues and corporate social responsibility is gaining acceptance but the number of successfully implemented programs are few. On an individual level companies have for some time applied company standards or codes of conduct. But on a collective level cooperation seems much more difficult. Although from an economic point of view there are clear
This paper deals with variations in the osteological material of dog (Canis familiaris L.) from the Mesolithic Scania, southern Sweden. The general aim is to discuss the use and specialisation of dog during the period, and differences or relations between cultures and traditions within the Mesolithic period. The study is based on a analysis of the bone material from the sites; Ageröd I:A-D, Ageröd

Bilindustrin är en oligopolmarknad där de tio största tillverkarna står för 80% av världens totala produktion. De stora marknaderna Europa, Japan och Nordamerika har stagnerat och stabiliserats, vilket har förändrat branschen till en med höga fasta kostnader och låga marginaler. Försöket att öka marginalerna och anpassa sig till den japanska teorin “lean production” med kort ledtider i fabriken leThe automotive industry is an oligopoly and the ten largest manufacturers account for close to 80% of the overall global production. The major markets of Europe, Japan and North America, have stagnated and remain stable and this has transformed the industry into a business of high costs and low margins. Somewhat ironically, as an attempt to increase the margins and adapt to the Japanese theory of

Sub-Saharan Africa suffers from a severe infrastructure deficit, particularly in the power sector and this is broadly recognised as a barrier to poverty alleviation, economic growth and sustainable development in the region. At the same time, the region is rich in natural resources and the mining sector, which already makes a significant contribution to national economies is currently expanding an
Novel materials in microfluidics can enable innovative applications, price reductions, higher efficiency, and increased availability. In this thesis, I examine polymer materials for acoustofluidic applications, and find several functioning, and promising, materials and designs. Microfluidics involves manipulating small volumes of fluids for novel applications, and acoustofluidics describes the ap

Sammanfattning Allt fler människor blir infertila. För att lösa problemet att få ett genetiskt barn har flera länder i vår omvärld börjat använda och tillåta surrogatmödraskap. I Sverige har åsikterna tidigare varit att det varit en allt för oetisk metod. Under årens lopp har dock värderingarna ändrats något och idag pågår en livlig debatt om altruistiskt surrogatmödraskap ska bli tillåtet. AltruiSummary Infertility is increasing. Because of this several countries around the world have begun to allow surrogacy as a means of procuring a genetic child. In Sweden, the previously held view was that surrogacy is unethical. However, over the years societal values have begun to gradually change. Presently there is a lively debate concerned with allowance of altruistic surrogacy. Altruistic surrog
Det huvudsakliga syftet med detta arbete var att simulera tredimensionella flödesmönster i tankar för lagring av vatten. De praktiska avsikter med simuleringarna var att identifiera vattenkvalitetsproblem relaterade till bristande vattenutbyte. De vattenmagasin som reservoarer vid Norra Ugglarp i Skåne utgör undersöktes i en särskild fallstudie. I denna avhandling har den öppna CFD källkoden OpenFThe main purpose of this thesis was to simulate the three-dimensional flow patterns in tanks for water storage. The practical intentions of the simulations were to identify water-quality problems related to insufficient water exchange. The water storage reservoirs at Norra Ugglarp in South Sweden were investigated as a special case study. In this thesis, the open source CFD software OpenFoam was c
In order to curb emissions and resulting environmental problems caused by the rapidly growing energy use of its building sector, China has implemented a number of policy instruments to promote Green Building practices, including market-based instruments for energy efficiency in buildings. This thesis aims to evaluate the economic efficiency of these policy measures, using the Four-High Award of Sh
I den svenska förvaltningsprocessrätten finns ingen lagstadgad specifik för tredje part att inträda i processen vid sidan av den ordinarie parten eller istället för denna. Möjligheten för den tredje parten att träda in processen uppkommer genom praxis från HFD. Möjligheten för tredje part att träda in i processen är viktig eftersom det i vissa fall kan vara den enda möjligheten att klaga på ett beIn the Swedish administrative process law, there exists no statutory right for a third party to enter the process beside the original party or instead of the original party. This opportunity is solely developed in the administrative courts through case law. The right for a third party to enter the process is important because in some cases it might be the only way for a party to lodge a complaint
En viktig princip i svensk företagsbeskattning är den evigt rullande kvittningsrätten. Den innebär att ett företag som får ett underskott ett beskattningsår kan då spara det och kvitta det mot framtida vinster i samma verksamhet. I Inkomstskattelagens 40 kap finns bestämmelser som begränsar avdragsrätten för underskott. Begränsningarna blir tillämpliga när det sker en ägarförändring för underskottAn important principle in swedish tax law is the possibility to equalize loss by saving deficits from one fiscal year and use it to set off against future profits. In the 40th chapter of the swedish income tax act there are limitations for using the accumulated losses. When there has been an ownership change in the company with the deficits, the limitations apply. If the ownership change means tha
Sammanfattning En stor del av svensk handel går ut på att distribuera och sälja varor. Ett företag kan välja att distribuera varor självt, alternativt ingå samarbete med annan part. För en part som funderar på att distribuera varor genom samarbete finns det många alternativ att välja på och följaktligen måste en part fundera över och ta ställning till olika för- och nackdelar, exempelvis vilken koSummary A significant part of Swedish trade involves distributing and selling goods. A company may choose to manage distribution of goods by himself or enter a partnership. A party who consider distribute goods through cooperation must count on various factors, such as desired control of the various market-ing stages, own and the other party resources, conditions in the specific market and risk sh
Åldersbedömningar av ensamkommande barn är vanligt förekommande i asylprocessen. Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur åldersbedömningen ska gå till och vilken betydelse utfallet av åldersbedömningen har för frågan om uppehållstillstånd. För att problematisera åldersbedömningen har jag utgått från grundläggande bevisteoretiska och processrättsliga principer, så som bevisbördans placAge assessments of unaccompanied minors are common in asylum procedure. The purpose with this thesis is to examine how such an assessment should be made and how the applicant’s age affects the question of asylum. I am using basic principles in evidence theory and procedural law, such as burden of proof and free evaluation of evidence, to problematize the age assessment. I am also discussing the mo
Lagen om anställningsskydd har alltjämt sedan dess tillkomst 1974 gått ifrån sitt ursprungliga syfte, att skydda arbetstagare, i synnerhet äldre och sjuka, och deras intresse av trygghet i anställningen, till att alltmer tillgodose arbetsgivares intresse av effektivitet. Lagen ställer upp krav på att en uppsägning från arbetsgivarens sida skall vara sakligt grundad men begreppet är tudelat; om en The Employment Protection Act has, ever since its creation in 1974, moved away from its original purpose, to protect employees – especially the elderly and the sick – and their interest in job security, to increasingly meet employer's interest in efficiency. The law sets up the requirement that a dismissal from the employer must have just cause (or objective grounds). However, within this conc
Green products are on the rise. Consumers, especially among the Millennial generation, are demanding sustainable products which led to a green consumer trend that puts major pressure on companies to go green. Nowadays, product choices are not only made on a functional and emotional basis but also in regards to how a company meets its social and environmental responsibility. Thus, companies start t
