This thesis examines the Swedish carbon dioxide abatement policy in the transport sector. The purpose is to investigate whether this is done in a cost-efficient way, in particular in a long-term perspective. An underlying objective is to bring thoughts on environmental concern and economic growth together. In order to do this a number of scientific reports, economic articles, and policy documents
The concept of disaster risk reduction has gained more and more attention since the end of the 20th century due to the exponential increased loss of human lives and material losses, without any evidence of increased number of hazardous events. Instead of just managing disastrous events, a greater emphasis has been put on prevention efforts; an understanding of underlying drivers and vulnerabilitie
In this paper we want to draw attention to the relationship between economical and cultural issues in the publishing industry by examining in what way these issues have been dealt with at Albert Bonniers Förlag, a most dominant player on the Swedish book market since 1837. Our purpose is to reveal how intimately interconnected economical and aesthetical matters are in the publishing industry at la
Power and control over global food production and distribution is becoming increasingly concentrated in a small number of multinational corporations. Corporately produced food is not principally produced to be eaten, but to be sold in order to make financial gain as with any other commodity. This endless pursuit of profit is having devastating social and ecological consequences the world over. Gro
In the Maldives tourism dominates the economy directly and indirectly with 70% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) making the country’s economy heavily dependent on this sector. This should (theoretically) also imply many job opportunities for the Maldivians; however only 3% of the tourism labour force is made up by Maldivian women as opposed to 51% which are Maldivian men. This low number of female w
The aim of the study was to highlight the situation of children with disabilities. Previous research shows that these children are more vulnerable to different types of abuse than other children. Several studies show, due to the large number of unreported cases, that society is ill-equipped to detect cases of abuse against children with disabilities. The purpose of this study was also to examine h

European Union law recognizes the right to reinstitution as inherent in Community law. The foremost importance of this right makes sense among other reasons because it brings to life EU law and deters Member States from contravening it. However, EU law also allows Member States to deny refunds of taxes it illegally collected by arguing that the claimant taxpayer passed on the tax to the end consum
As the numbers of multinational corporations (MNCs) steadily increases production becomes more and more global. Today, production can easily be moved from one corner of the world to another if corporations find this to increase their profit. This puts trade unions in front of a new challenge as they now have to find strategies in order to promote and secure labour rights on a globalized labour mar
In this paper I evaluate a problem with the partial identity theory and solutions as suggested by Eddon and Morganti. Resemblances exist not only between objects, but between universals. Hence, the mass universal of a 1kg object resembles the mass universal of a 3 kg object and the mass universal of a 100kg object. Resemblances between such universals, referred to as quantitative universals, are p
Abstract The present thesis is concerned with the investigation of a metalorganic catalyst, a Pt complex used for C-C or C-N single bond formation in a cross coupling reaction. The investigated catalysts are used in a homogeneous reaction. In this study I have used chemical methods for the synthesis of the catalytic materials, a number of different techniques for the characterization of the catal
Denna uppsats ger en överblick av rättsläget beträffande möjligheten att kvittningsvis utnyttja en specialpreskriberad fordran. Reglerna som styr preskription och kvittning är till antalet inte många. Kvittningsinstitutet är endast i ringa utsträckning lagreglerat och prejudikaten är få. Jag har i den här uppsatsen undersökt huruvida kvittning av en specialpreskriberad fordran kan ske och om det äThis essay provides an overview over the legal position regarding the possibility to use a special limited receivable in order to make a set-off. Only a small number of legal rules are governing civil limitation and set-off. The Offsetting Institute is only slightly regulated by law and the precedents are few. This essay examines whether a set-off of a special limited receivable can be made and if
Ämnet för uppsatsen är begreppet tillräknelighet och dess tillämning inom straffrätten. Tillräknelighetsrekvisit är frekvent förekommande inom olika länders lagstiftning och bygger på tanken att personer, för att vara straffrättsligt ansvariga i gärningsögonblicket, måste ha en reell förmåga att påverka handlingen. Genom detta tankesätt har en viss grupp personer genom ett tillräknelighetsrekvisitThe subject for this thesis is the term accountability and it’s use within the field of criminal law. A requirement of accountability in order to be punishable is frequently existent in different countries legislation and is based on the idea that to be accountable for ones actions require an ability to control ones actions. The lack of ability is based on either the perpetrators lack of perceptio
Sedan 1895 har det inom aktiebolagsrätten funnits bestämmelser om tvångslikvidation på grund av kapitalbrist. Det övergripande syftet med bestämmelserna är att sätta upp gränser för hur långt en förlustbringande verksamhet får fortsätta innan verksamheten måste avbrytas genom likvidation. Bestämmelserna innebär att styrelsen har en skyldighet att agera i ett antal situationer. Styrelsen ska, när dSince 1895 there have been provisions regarding compulsory liquidation due to capital deficiency in Swedish company law. The general purpose of the provisions is to set limits on how far a loss-making activity may continue before the activity has to be interrupted by liquidation. The provisions provide that the board of directors has a duty to act in a number of situations. The board of directors
Kaapvaal kratonen består av ett välbevarat fragment av arkeisk jordskorpa som utgör ett värdefullt objekt vid palaeokontinentala rekonstruktioner. Syftet med den här studien var att visualisera vulkaniska händelserna i kratonen genom tiden med hjälp av ArcGIS och tillgängliga geokronologiska data. Detta gjordes genom att skapa ett antal så kallade ’time slice’ kartor som representerar tidsperioder
Försiktighetsprincipen har utvecklats ur insikten att då vetenskaplig säkerhet väl uppnåtts kring vad som orsakar miljöproblem, har skadan ofta redan inträffat. Principen tar därför sikte på att agera mot skada innan den uppstått, trots brister i kunskapen gällande vad som orsakar den. En mängd definitioner av principen finns till följd av det genomslag principen fått i internationella instrument The precautionary principle emerged from the insight that once scientific certainty is eventually reached concerning the causes of environmental issues, damage has often already occurred. The principle aims at acting against damage before it takes place, even though lack of knowledge about its causes exists. There are many definitions of the principle as a result of the breakthrough it has had in
Abstract Plasmodium relictum is a generalist avian malaria parasite found to infect approximately 400 species of bird on every continent except Antarctica. The two P. relictum isolates studied, SGS1 and GRW4, have been found in 55 species of passeriform bird. A parasite with a broad geographic range combined with lack of vector- and host-specificity is likely to contain multiple genetic variants.
Abstract The Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a central role in the vertebrate immune system. The protein products of MHC genes present foreign peptides to T-cells, which then initiates the appropriate immune responses. MHC genes show extreme level of polymorphism and this was suggested to be maintained by selective pressures exerted by various parasites. Although associations between
Ne bis in idem är en av straffprocessens grundpelare. Principen innebär att en person inte får lagföras eller straffas för samma gärning som denne har blivit frikänd eller dömd i ett tidigare förfarande. Ne bis in idem uttrycker förbudet mot dubbelbestraffning. Detta är en mänsklig rättighet som skyddas genom artikel 4 i sjunde tilläggsprotokollet Europakonventionen samt artikel 50 i EU:s rättigheNe bis in idem is one of pillars on which the criminal procedure system rests. This means that a person may not be punished nor have legal proceedings taken against him/her if they have previously been freed or found guilty of the crime. Ne bis in idem expresses the will to prevent dual liability. This is a human right supported by article 4 in the seventh protocol amendment of the European Conven
Job satisfaction has been proved to be negatively correlated with labor mobility (Freeman, 1977). China faces a huge labor shortage and this problem worsens as migrant workers stay at their home provinces. This paper examines job satisfaction and its determinants among Chinese rural-urban migrant workers. This analysis is based on a number of previous theoretical and empirical studies. Data is use
