After having evaluated various different integration projects in the city of Malmo, carried out within the framework of the Swedish Metropolitan project during a period stretching from 1999 till 2004, we have a stable base for drawing some general conclusions concerning issues inherent in successful integration methods. In this paper we discuss the link work model, i.e. a method connecting people
The Perstorp, industrial park in southern Sweden is faced with water shortage problems. One way to reduce these problems is through the reuse of recycled water. In this paper the results of treating 240 m(3) per day wastewater in a reverse osmosis (RO) plant are presented. High-quality water, which is used as make-up water in cooling towers, is produced from a difficult and varying feed. Severe fo
Caustics are a challenging light transport phenomenon to render in real-time, and most previous approaches have used screen-space accumulation based on the fast rasterization hardware of GPUs. This limits the position of photon collection points to first hit screen space locations, and leads to missing caustics that should be visible in a mirror’s reflection. In this paper we propose an algorithm
Accumulation of trace elements, including heavy metals, were evaluated in soil and fruits of chilli plants (Capsicum annuum L.) grown under both laboratory-controlled and semi-controlled greenhouse location conditions. Chilli plant biomass growth in different development stages and fruit productivity were evaluated and compared with each other for the impact of growth boundary conditions and water

As a response to limitations of the conventional food system, alternative food networks such as community supported agriculture and direct selling box schemes have emerged in Romania, involving close producer-consumer connections and an emphasis on local and organic produce. Through a multi-case study of two such networks in the city of Cluj-Napoca, their contribution to the establishment of a sus
Across the world, there is a call to combat the climate crisis and tackle growing socio-economic inequalities. The Danish Citizens’ Assembly on Climate (CAC) is a case of attempted deliberative democracy seeking pathways to this outcome. This thesis asks how the CAC might catalyse a Danish sustainability transition. With democratic discourse theory and the concept of just sustainability, I conduct
Denna uppsats behandlar den svenska gruppbeskattningslagstiftningen och dess kompatibilitet med EU-rätten, fram till hösten 2010. Allra först behandlas problematiken i de konflikterande principerna skattesuveränitet och unionsmedlemskap, därefter defineras eller förklaras ett antal nyckelkoncept och termer. De Fundamentala Friheterna som är centrala till denna uppsats undersöks sedan i innehåll, aThis essay covers the subject of the Swedish Group Taxation Regime and its compatibility with EU Law as of the Autumn 2010. Firstly the inherent problematic mutually exclusive principles of tax sovereignty and union membership are discussed and then a number of key terms are defined, or at least explained. The fundamental freedoms central to these issues are then examined in content, application a
Denna uppsats beskriver lagstiftningen angående marknadsdefinition, framförallt av koncentrationer unionsdimension. Slutsatserna appliceras sen till en analys av plattvärmeväxlarindustrin (PHE) för att producera ett exempel på hur en sådan argumentation kan föras. Följaktligen presenteras bakgrundsinformation om plattvärmeväxlarindustrin i kapitel 2. Där presenteras även två separata teknologier (An essay describing the legal regime governing market definition, particularly concerning concentration cases having a Union dimension. The author high-lights difficulties under the current legal regime, consisting mainly of the EU Commission’s Relevant Market Notice and case law.

BACKGROUND: Given the limited research focusing on psychotherapeutic interventions for suicide attempters, it is noteworthy that the Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program (ASSIP) has demonstrated promising results in previous studies. In this investigation, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of ASSIP across diverse healthcare settings, outlining the study design and planned evaluation.MET
