The consequences of this pheno
While the climate crisis is gaining more attention, market mechanisms and individual behaviour changes seem to remain the dominant political answer to mitigate climate change.

Netatmo is a brand of private weather stations that over the past decade, in many countries, have grown to outnumber the number of government based weather stations.

Sexuallagstiftningen har genomgått stora förändringar de senaste åren och inte minst vad gäller våldtäktsbrottet. Lagstiftningens tydliga skyddsintresse att skydda den enskildes personliga och sexuella integritet och självbestämmande, samt den nya utgångspunkt som baseras på frivilligt deltagande, har inneburit fler infallsvinklar i bedömningen av vad som utgör en våldtäkt. Våldtäktsbrottet behan

Research on IS solutions for environmental sustainability have evolved to a modest, but firm body of knowledge. Despite this progressive understanding about the potential of IS in enabling environmental sustainability, our academic practices seem widely unaffected by these insights. The way we do research or conduct teaching is rarely influenced by sustainability considerations. For example, befor
This study is an attempt to clarify the legal status of humanitarian intervention under international law today. Despite the long history of legal discourse on the matter, there is no consistent consensus as regards the legality of humanitarian intervention under international law. The opponents of formally acknowledging a right of humanitarian intervention often refer to the risk of abuse of the
Background: Prognostic assessment of ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is based mainly on distinguishing between early (<48 hours) and late arrhythmias, and does not take into account its time distribution with regard to reperfusion, or type of arrhythmia. Objective: We analyzed the prognostic value of early ventricu
The microeconomic literature has for a long time asserted that homos economicus act ration-ally i.e. the choices she makes in life are based upon the fact that she always seeks to maxim-ize her own welfare. By the available information she is capable of calculating which alterna-tive of consumption possibilities that gives her the highest utility subject to its costs and hence, she always makes op

This paper compares and evaluates two survey-based economic indicators’ ability to predict industrial production in Sweden. The economic indicators predictive ability is evaluated in a pre-crisis and crisis setting. Whereas “the crisis” is defined as the recession that took place in 2007-2009 often referred to as “the financial crisis”. More exactly, the total sample is divided into three subsampl
With the aim of developing a process for surface enlargement on an electrode for measuring brain activity attempts have been made to fabricate a porous anodic alumina membrane directly on the electrode. The porous membrane was intended to be used as scaffold for deposition of an electrically conducting polymer on the electrode surface. A silicon wafer with gold electrodes was the base onto which
Inom svensk företagsbeskattning gäller principen om beskattningsårets slutenhet, vilken innebär att beräkningen av ett företags resultat som utgångspunkt ska avgränsas till den perioden. Det har länge funnits möjlighet att göra avsteg från principen genom förlustutjämning mellan år. En sådan möjlighet innebär att en förlust som uppkommer vid beräkning av den skattepliktiga inkomsten ett år får räkSwedish company taxation is based on a principle implying that the fiscal year is closed, which means that the calculation of a company’s result shall be limited to that period of time. For long, there have been possibilities to make deviations from this principle through loss equalization between years. Such a possibility means that a loss arising one fiscal year after calculating the taxable inc
