Heating is a big factor in protected horticulture and current high fuel prices mean many UK growers cannot afford to plant this season’s crops. Meanwhile, vast quantities of surplus heat exist, often an unwanted by-product of other industries. Theoretically, this heat could be used to offset fossil fuel consumption in horticulture, reducing cost and environmental impact. Despite technical and econ

Blockkedje-teknologin har skapat ett nytt verktyg för avtalsingående, så kallade smarta kontrakt. Smarta kontrakt möjliggör decentraliserade, digitala och autonoma avtal som exekveras av sig själva när ett antal parametrar är uppfyllda. En grundläggande fråga är om avtal enligt svensk rätt kan ingås på detta sätt. Av denna anledning ställer uppsatsen frågan om huruvida smarta kontrakt uppfyller föBlockchain technology has created a new tool for contract formation: smart contracts. Smart contracts enable decentralized, digital, and autonomous contracts that self-execute when a set of parameters is met. Can contracts under Swedish law be entered into through smart contracts?

However, the FMCG industry is characterized by low customer involvement, which could argue why cause-related activities do not affect customer behavior. Furthermore

Under åren 1965-1974 genomfördes en omfattande bostadsproduktion i Sverige som betecknas miljonprogrammet. Då byggdes en miljon bostäder runtom i landet. Idag finns behov av att renovera dessa bostäder. I samband med det kan energisparåtgärder genomföras för att minska energianvändningen. Detta kan uppfyllas genom att åtgärda otäta väggar och byta ut äldre fönster som medför oönskade värmeförlusteIn order to maintain a good indoor environment, air pollutants such as moisture need to be removed by the ventilation. Among the Swedish Public Health Agency's general advices for ventilation and indoor environment, 3 g/m3 is a guideline value for moisture excess during winter months to not pose a risk to human health.

Aurangzeb on the other hand is characterized as a dogmatic and fiercly conservative Muslim whose main objective was the subjugation and ha
