Values lie at the core of landscaping processes. In human geography, the concept of landscape describes the way in which societies relate to space through collectively interacting with their environment. Landscapes are a way of seeing and perceiving physical space, assigning meaning to it, and shaping it by giving materiality to imaginations. Values constitute the nodes of the society-landscape ne
In recent years, there has been a surge in attention towards biodegradable polymer films, driven by the growing environmental awareness concerning the harmful effects of petroleumbased plastics. The maize protein zein, a by-product from wet milling processes, has shown potential to work as hydrophobic coating. The aim of this study has therefore been to find the most promising process conditions f
Background Dietary intervention is an effective way to prevent pandemic non-communicable diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes which can probably raise the risk of depression and Alzheimer's disease. Although considerable numbers of intervention studies focus on metabolic effects and physiological benefits of the intake of plant lipids, the function in appetite, mood, and cognition modu

Wetlands are valuable ecosystems, and assets for human life, that must be regularly monitored, starting with accurately mapping their location and extent. However, an updated national inventory of wetlands is needed. The availability of multi-source data, and advanced machine learning algorithms in Google Earth Engine (GEE) offers excellent opportunities to map wetlands on a country-wide scale. Th
An increased understanding of the negative impacts of animal-based proteins, on both environment and health, has led to a rise in the demand for plant-based proteins. To meet the demands, conventional crops must be efficiently utilized. One possible crop is oat which is a good source of protein, fibre, and fat, but is currently mainly used for animal feed. To better utilize the proteins in oat, th
Konflikt är en grogrund för könsbaserat våld. Tidigare diskriminerande strukturer förstärks och mynnar ut i våld inom ramen för konflikten. I komplexa kontexter präglade av religiösa, etniska och/eller politiska slitningar förstärks vissa individers utsatthet. Under ISIS attack mot Sinjar-regionen i norra Irak utgjorde den religiösa minoritetsgruppen Yazidier måltavlan. Genom ett systematisk förfaConflict is a breeding ground for gender-based violence. Previous discriminatory structures are reinforced and often result in conflict-related gender-based violence. In complex contexts characterized by religious, ethnic and / or political frictions, the vulnerability of some individuals is exacerbated. During the ISIS attack in the Sinjar region in northern Iraq, the religious minority group Yaz
Introduction and aim Atherosclerotic stenosis located at the carotid bifurcation accounts for 10% − 20% of all Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA) and ischemic strokes, which occurs when Atherosclerotic stenosis, or so-called plaque, ruptures. The current method to evaluate carotid atherosclerotic stenosis is to measure the degree of stenosis. Strong markers for plaque rupture lies in the plaque cont
Norway has Europe’s highest share of renewable electricity production and the lowest power sector emissions. Thanks to the country’s stable power production, Norway has affordable and stable access to electricity, leading to industries choosing to relocate to the country. To keep this industry, the country needs to meet the increasing electricity demand and ensure it is still competitively priced.
Att hyra lösa saker är både praktiskt och billigt. I många fall fungerar det som ett alternativ till köp. Hyra har anor långt tillbaka och kallades tidigare saklega. Något som skiljer hyresförhållandet från andra avtalstyper är hyrestagarens vårdplikt och uthyrarens bevarandeplikt. Vårdplikten innebär att hyrestagaren med omsorg ska ta hand om hyresobjektet under hela hyrestiden. Bevarandeplikten Renting movable property is both practical and cheap. In many cases it serves as an alternative to buying. Renting has ancient origins and was previously referred to as “saklega”. Two aspect that distinguishes the rental relationship from other types of contracts is the renter’s duty of care1 and the owner’s duty of preservation. The duty of care entails that the renter is responsible to take care
Hävning förklaras på olika sätt och innebörden av hävningsbegreppet är inte helt tydlig. En hävning kan innebära omfattande konsekvenser för parterna, vilket särskilt gäller avseende entreprenadavtal. I fråga om hävning av entreprenader är det endast den återstående delen av entreprenaden som hävs, varmed den utförda delen som inte omfattas av hävningen i stället hanteras genom en ekonomisk reglerTermination is explained in various ways and the meaning of the concept of termination is not entirely clear. Termination of a contract can have far-reaching consequences for the parties, and this is particularly true in the case of construction contracts. When construction contracts are terminated, only the remaining part of the contract is terminated, and the part of the contract that has been p
Den 1 januari 2014 infördes de svenska reglerna om forskning och utveckl-ing. Reglerna infördes mot bakgrund av den positiva effekten innovation en-ligt nationalekonomisk teori anses ha på tillväxt, och att ett skattemässigt inci-tament förväntas leda till ökade investeringar i FoU. Det svenska FoU-avdraget är idag utformat som en direkt nedsättning av ar-betsgivaravgifterna och den allmänna löneThe Swedish rules on research and development were introduced on January 1, 2014, against the backdrop of the positive impact that innovation according to economic theory is considered to have on growth, and the expectation that a tax incentive would lead to increased investments in R&D. The Swedish R&D tax credit is designed as a direct reduction of employer’s social security contribution
Self-levelling flooring compounds (SLCs) are mainly used on concrete floors. Their purpose is to smooth the floors and make them horizontal. The fact that they are self-levelling means that they spread out like water over the floor before hardening to a horizontal layer. Some of them are also advertised as being self-desiccating. A quote from a big manufacturer on the Swedish market regarding thei

The work included different types of analyzes and measurements of the villa. A literature study was done to get a better view of t
SAMMANFATTNING Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att utreda frågan huruvida FN:s konvention om avskaffande av all slags diskriminering av kvinnor (kvinnokonventionen) bör göras till svensk lag för att öka jämställdheten mellan män och kvinnor. I detta syfte diskuterar uppsatsen kvinnokonventionens jämställdhetsstandard och konventionens ställning i Sverige. Vidare presenteras och analyseras för- SUMMARY This study aims to examine whether the UN Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) should be incorporated into Swedish law, in order to enhance equality between women and men. This study discusses the anti-discrimination standard of CEDAW and the status of the convention in Sweden. Furthermore, this study presents and analyses the pros and cons of the incorpora
The European Commission has acknowledged the lack of cross-border utilization of losses. Companies operating internationally want to have a possibility to offset losses against taxable profits at the same time or as soon as possible after the losses incurred. If no such possibility is at hand, a cash-flow disadvantage arises and also, it leads to segmentation of the internal market. The asymmetrie
Bygg- och servicesektorn står idag för mer än en tredjedel av Sveriges totala energianvändning. Energifrågan ligger i fokus och samhället strävar efter en mer hållbar utveckling. Samtidigt ökar elpriserna vilket lämnar många hushåll med dyra räkningar för uppvärmning av sina småhus. En stor del av Sveriges småhus byggdes under 70-talet i samband med miljonprogrammet. Villabyggandet var som mest The construction and service sector currently accounts for over one-third of Sweden's total energy consumption. Energy issues are at the forefront, and society is striving for more sustainable development. At the same time, electricity prices are increasing, leaving many households with expensive bills for heating their houses. A significant portion of Sweden's houses were built during th
Teknikutvecklingen, särskilt inom AI, har möjliggjort produktion av deepfakes, det vill säga artificiellt genererat eller manipulerat material som kan framstå som mycket autentiskt. Samtidigt har digitaliseringen medfört att digital bevisning fått en allt mer central roll i rättsprocesser. Detta aktualiserar nya rättsliga utmaningar, eftersom möjligheten att skapa övertygande falskt material riskeTechnological development, particularly within AI, has enabled production of so-called deepfakes, i.e., artificially generated or manipulated material that may appear highly authentic. At the same time, digitalisation has made digital evidence central in legal proceedings. This creates new legal challenges, since convincing false material may undermine the reliability of digital evidence. The pur
I uppsatsen analyseras 2026 års reform av fåmansföretagsreglerna mot bakgrund av lagstiftarens ambition att förenkla 3:12-regelverket och möjliggöra en ökad automatisering av deklarationsförfarandet för delägare i fåmansföretag. 3:12-reglerna har under lång tid kritiserats för sin komplexitet, bland annat på grund av att regelverket successivt har tillkommit och balanserar svårförenliga mål. Mot dThe thesis analyses the 2026 reform of the closely held company rules in light of the legislature’s aim to simplify the 3:12 rules and facilitate increased automation of the tax return procedure for their shareholders. The 3:12 rules have long been criticized for their complexity, partly due to their incremental development and need to balance conflicting objectives. Against this backdrop, a commi
