ABSTRACT Author: Nicklas Bogren Title: Professionals view on cannabis use Supervisor: Eva-Malin Antoniusson During my practice in 2008 I heard a discussion about all the risks and all the consequences of cannabis use from both old and young employees. They did all have the same education as me, and referred to the gateway theory. I thought this was strange, because I have read both research and li

The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate the influencing factors of the busi-ness potential of products with health claims, using PrimaLiv as an example, and give recommendations on how a dairy producer, which is present in the Swedish market, could improve the sales rates of products with health claims. We have chosen to put a main focus on the consumers, since they determine the busin

In the Tunisian semiarid area, water erosion processes have led to negative economic and environmental consequences in a context of limited water resources. To characterize and predict these degradation phenomena, a comprehensive high-resolution data base on erosive rainfall, together with siltation records for 28 small reservoirs were analyzed. The studied small reservoir network displays a gener

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is the most common congenital heart malformation diagnosed in adult life. In this thesis important clinical, haemodynamic and electrophysiological aspects of ASD in the adult are explored. The diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance velocity mapping (MRvm)in calculating the pulmonary/systemic flow ratio (QP/QS)was assessed (I). The mean and maximal error by MRvm was 1

In this paper, we show how studies of fracture mineral paragenesis, their orientation and Ar-40/Ar-39 geochronology can be applied in order to recognise the brittle tectonothermal evolution in an area. Samples were selected from nearly 18 km of drill cores from the upper I km of the Fennoscandian Shield obtained during the site investigation for a repository of spent nuclear fuel in Forsmark, cent

Purpose: Within the construction business pricing is traditionally done at current account. The purpose of this report is to investigate why pricing levels are low within the construction consultant industry in comparison to other consultant industries, as well as to examine what affects the choice of pricing models. In addition to this the report aims to analyze pricing models used today and to d

Prostitution as a construction - The social worker in the tension between society and the individual Discussions about prostitution seems to be of large interest for different feminist groups. The main discussions are about whether people sell sex as a result of free will, or if prostitution is a part of patriarchal structures, and that people selling sex, have been forced to do so in one way, or

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate if portfolios whose composition is based on fundamental values (FVs) outperform a market value (MV)-weighted benchmark portfolio in terms of mean-variance efficiency on the Swedish stock market. We also seek to answer if an investment strategy, which focuses on the difference in composition between these two weighting methods, can further enhance th

I media har diskussioner angående förbud mot rasistiska organisationer väckts i samband med att Nordiska motståndsrörelsen (NMR) kandiderar till riksdagsvalet i Sverige, samtidigt som organisationen förbjudits i Finland då den anses sprida hatretorik och legitimera våld. Förespråkare av ett sådant förbud argumenterar att Sverige genom FN:s Internationella konvention om avskaffandet av alla former In the media, discussions about banning racist organizations have been raised in connection with the Nordic resistance movement (NMR) standing as a candidate in the Swedish parliamentary elections, while at the same time the organization has been banned in Finland because it is considered to spread hate and legitimize violence. Advocates of a ban argue that Sweden through the International Convent

This thesis orbits around the changes in the Swedish abortion laws during the last century, and the relation to religion. The aim is to make visible the values enshrined in the first abortion law, and those in the current abortion law, as the legislation made a volte-face in the 1970’s. Today, abortion is a right and the state is the duty-bearer. This construction collides with the conscience of r

Skönhetsingrepp kan leda till skador eller missnöje med det estetiska resultatet. Det har länge funnits kritik mot att skönhetsbranschen saknar ett anpassat och tydligt regelverk. Syftet med uppsatsen är därmed att utifrån en rättsanalytisk metod undersöka och problematisera möjligheten till ansvarsutkrävande vid felaktiga skönhetsingrepp som har genomförts i Sverige. Min första frågeställning b

This study is based on the reflections that society's activities have a negative impact on the climate and that there are planetary boundaries that need to be taken into account if ecological sustainability will have a chance to be achieved. Today the Swedish housing sector is quite resource intensive and contribute to about 20 percent of the Swedish emissions of carbon dioxide, which is about

Geothermal energy is one of the oldest and most sustainable energy sources and has been used for thousands of years. The temperature of the ground at shallow depth is fairly constant, above the air temperature in winter and lower than the ambient temperature in summer. Shallow geothermal energy systems can thus be used to provide heating and cooling with or without heat pumps. This study aims to

Den 25 maj 2018 antogs direktiv (EU) 2018/822 om ändring av direktiv 2011/16/EU vad gäller obligatoriskt utbyte av upplysningar i fråga om beskattning som rör rapporteringspliktiga arrangemang (DAC 6). Direktivet är ett led i EU:s samarbete på skatteområdet och är till stor del inspirerat av OECD:s arbete mot aggressiv skatteplanering. Direktivet syftar till att stävja aggressiv skatteplanering i On May 25, 2018, Council Directive (EU) 2018/882 amending Directive 2011/16/EU as regards mandatory automatic exchange of information in the field of taxation in relation till reportable cross-border arrangements (DAC 6) was adopted. The directive is part of the EU’s administrative cooperation in the field of taxation and is largely inspired by the OECD’s work against aggressive tax planning. The

I syfte att skydda medborgare från övergrepp begångna av staten har ett antal europeiska länder undertecknat Europakonventionen. De fri- och rättigheter som Europakonventionen består av är allmänt formulerade och för deras efterlevnad ansvar både de länder som undertecknat konventionen och den Europeiska domstolen. Europakonventionens rättsliga status i Sverige var till en början osäker. SvenskaIn order to protect citizens from abuse commited by the state several European countries signed the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) in the aftermath of World War II. The rights and freedoms which the Convention consisted of was generally formulated. Both signatory countries and the European Court of Human Rights was responsible for its enforcement. Although Sweden was one of the origin

This report presents how far NCC current VDC tools and methods in building construction can be implemented in road and infrastructure projects also what new tools, methods that can be created helped by pre-selected software’s. VDC is well developed within the construction of building and research and resources in the field have been spent under a longer period of time unlike in road and infrastruc

Wild bees are declining in intensively farmed regions worldwide, threatening pollination services to flowering crops and wild plants. To halt bee declines, it is essential that conservation actions are based on a mechanistic understanding of how bee species utilize landscapes. We aimed at teasing apart how foraging resources in the landscape through the nesting season affected nesting and reproduc
