Att dika skogar till förmån för bland annat bättre tillväxt kan påverka och förändra faktorer som marktemperatur och markfuktighet vilka är de viktigaste faktorerna för markrespirationen och flödet av koldioxid till atmosfären. Markrespirationen svarar för huvuddelen av koldioxidflödet till atmosfären från ett markbundet ekosystem. Koldioxid är en viktig växthusgas och små förändringar av flödet kDitching forests in favor of for example better tree growth can affect and change factors such as soil temperature and soil moisture. Those are the most important factors for soil respiration and the flow of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. The soil respiration accounts for the major flux of CO2 to the atmosphere from the terrestrial ecosystem. CO2 is an important greenhouse gas and small

En ökad efterfrågan på miljövänliga energialternativ har resulterat i att allt fler länder börjat utvärdera sina geotermala tillgångar. En bidragande orsak till det ökade geotermala intresset är förändrade krav som ställs på geologin och hydrologin med dagens moderna EGS-anläggningar. Med EGS-tekniken (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) skapar man idag konstgjorda reservoarer, för fjärrvärme- och elprodThe increasing demand for eco-friendly energy alternatives and the changing requirements of state of the art EGS-plants (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) have set the mark for many countries to start evaluating their geothermal assets. By using the EGS-technique, artificial reservoir providing district heating and electricity are created around the world by stimulating the bedrock hydrostatically with

The recent shift towards energy-dense and nutrient-poor diets has led to an increase of diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cardio-vascular disease. Due to poverty, geographical remoteness and lack of cultivable land, Kiribati experiences a double burden of malnutrition with high levels of NCDs among adults, and undernourishment among children.

Kravet på att regeringen ska skicka lagförslag på remiss till myndigheter och andra remissinstanser innan förslaget presenteras för riksdagen utgör en central del av den svenska lagstiftningsprocessen och har stadgats i RF sedan 1809. En tanke med remissförfarandet är att lagstiftningens konsekvenser ska bli kända på förhand och att lagstiftaren därmed kan avstå från att stifta lagar som stårThe demand that proposed laws are to be referred to authorities and civil organizations before they are presented to the parliament (the “referral demand”) forms a central part of the Swedish legislation process and has been stipulated in the Instruction of Government (IG) since 1809.

Artikel 17 DSM-direktivet har varit ett oerhört hett debattämne de senaste åren. Den juridiska debatten har främst centrerat kring frågor om yttrandefrihet på internet och kring risken för att artikeln skulle innebära slutet på det fria internetet för användaren. Farhågan för detta var reell och Sverige röstade slutligen nej till direktivet då det antogs av Europeiska rådet 2019. Trots direktivetsArticle 17 of the EU copyright directive has been an incredibly hot topic of debate in recent years. The legal discussion has mainly centered on issues of freedom of expression on the internet and the question of whether article 17 would mean the end of the free internet for the user.

This master’s dissertation has been performed in cooperation with Tyréns and the Dept. of Construction Sciences, LTH. We have investigated if it is possible to increase the total stability for excavations with retaining structures and if each side of an excavation could be treated as a separate 2D-case with additional theories to approximate its 3D-effects. End-surface theories from the Commissio

De lagar som finns gällande föräldraledighet påverkar arbetsmarknaden genom att sätta normer för arbetande föräldrar. De reglerar inte bara hur mycket och under hur lång tid en arbetande förälder kan vara ledig, utan bidrar också till den generella synen på könsrollerna i samhället och med det även synen på vem som är den primära föräldern. Den konservativa uppfattningen av modern som den huvudsakThe existing parenting protection legislation affects the labour market by setting standards for working parents. This to make sure they have the right to leave in order to take care of their children. These laws regulate not only the time frame and the days allowed for leave, but also contribute to the general view on gender roles and views on which parent is the primary one. The conservative per
