Klimatförändringen är ett fenomen som på ett aldrig tidigare skådat sätt kommer att sätta press på rättssystem världen runt. Det finns ett behov av att utforma rättsliga instrument och institutioner för att hantera förändringar i miljön men också av att utforma själva lagstiftningen att vara flexibel och anpassningsbar i förhållande till föränderliga förhållanden i naturens tillstånd. För att säkeClimate change is a phenomenon that in an unprecedented way will put pressure on the legal systems worldwide. Not only is there a need for designing the necessary legal instruments and institutions to handle changes in the environment but also for the law itself to be flexible and able to adapt under preconditions in nature which are uncertain. To ensure that the legislation is resilient enough to

The issue of possession of the air has been debated over literally thousands of years. The Romans debated the ownership of the air above their cornfields. When man finally could construct aircraft, in this case a balloon, heavier-than-air in the 1780's it did not take long before the first regulation came into force. The issue of state sovereignty had been discussed since the national states s

The subject of this thesis is theoretical examination of freezing phenomena inside fire sprinkler systems during activation at low temperatures in the surroundings. Many sprinkler systems are installed in environments such that they must be operable at subfreezing temperature conditions. During activation of such a system, water is assumed to penetrate a significant distance and without interrupti

Gambling and the national gambling markets has so far not been harmonised through any Community law regulation or directive. Instead gambling is covered by the general principles of Community provisions for the free movement of services article 49, and the closely connected article 43 regulating the freedom of establishment. This has been established through the case law of the ECJ. The Member Sta

This paper aims to examine whether competition law and policies have greater effect on competition when sound institutions are in place. Reports by major global actors as well as governmental reforming, show that there is unanimity on the notion that political reforming is essential in order to reach a more competitive market. Later economic research shows that institutions such as governance effe

I Sverige kallar vi ofta media för den fjärde statsmakten. Den makt som medierna besitter att granska makthavare, påverka opinion, förmedla information till medborgare är en väsentlig del i en fungerande demokrati. Konsolidering av denna makt kan få konsekvenser för demokratin genom en likriktning av opinionen, och ett minskat antal perspektiv representerade i rapporteringen. Hur detta kan motverkIn Sweden the media is often called the fourth pillar of government. The pow-er the media has is used to hold persons of power accountable, create opinion, and spread information to the citizens. This is a vital part of a well-functioning democracy. The consolidation of this power could have a negative impact on democracy by reducing the number of perspectives and opinions represented in media ove

How salamanders develop and regenerate with help from jumping genes Salamanders are famous for something most animals cannot do – they can regenerate lost body parts like limbs and tail, and even parts of their internal organs. They can reactivate genes used during early development and create cells that can proliferate and compensate for the loss. For decades, scientists have studied these anima

What causes changes in management? This thesis attempts to explain governmental change in the Swedish emergency management and at the same time determine how these changes can best be explained. The Swedish emergency management has been reorganized several times over the past 30 years and it’s these reorganizations that form the basis for this study. The study is based on three different organizat

A model is used to describe a system physically or mathematically and to give information about changes in the system variables. Physical knowledge about the system and its quantities can be useful to build a physical model obeying the laws of nature. However, if the system is to be regarded as a black box with only input and output signals, system identification can be used to fit a mathematical

The purpose with this report is twofold. 1) To examine the safety-work in Swedish communities and 2) how progressive changes can be integrated into the present work. The aim is to counsel community risk- and safety work through: - Describing different safety actors involved in the areas of responsibility and cooperation. - Give suggestions on present models to achieve safe communities. - Summari

The purpose of this study was to examine office designs, in terms of private, shared, and open plan offices. This was done by comparing the participants reported indoor climate, communication climate, and work engagement experienced in respective office design. The study was conducted with the background of the trend to use an open plan design in office spaces. Cross-sectional data on 2322 partici

Studiens syfte var att med utgångspunkt i Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) undersöka akademiska ledares individuella, sociala och organisatoriska förutsättningar att implementera jämställdhetsarbete. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med sju akademiska ledare med operativt jämställdhetsansvar på fakultetsnivå vid en svensk teknisk högskola. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med en teoridriven

This thesis addresses three topics in income inequality. First, a cross- sectional dataset of 30 countries is used to investigate the causes of between- country differences in income inequality. Secondly, a panel of the same countries is used to examine the drivers behind the change in inequality between 1985 and 2013. This part of the thesis utilizes dynamic regres- sion models for panel data, an

Uppsatsen behandlar barns rättsliga ställning i familjerättsliga mål, LVU-mål och asylmål. Arbetet syftar till att undersöka de likheter och skillnader som föreligger mellan dessa typer av processer. Det förekommer att barn kan vara inblandade hos flera myndigheter och domstolar samtidigt. Det kan handla om en vårdnadstvist mellan vårdnadshavarna i tingsrätten, samtidigt som det finns en begäran oThe essay deals with legal status of children in family law cases, LVU cases, and asylum cases. This work aims to investigate the similarities and differences that exist between these types of processes. It happens that a child may be involved with several governments and courts at the same time. This may involve a custody dispute between the legal guardians, in the district court, while there is

Agricultural intensification and its effect on spiders and their prey Spiders are abundant predators that can be very useful for biological control, as they eat insects that can damage crops. To study the potential of this group as biocontrol agents it is necessary to understand the trophic relationships and the factors that affect the distribution of both spiders and their prey. For this purpos

Principen om reklamidentifiering; att en annonsör tydligt måste ange att en annons är reklam, har funnits länge. Den är omhuldad både av medierna, näringslivet och allmänheten i stort. Ända fram till 1970-talet var det näringslivet som genom olika branschregler och privata instanser upprätthöll en viss standard för marknadsföringen. Brist på reklamidentifiering ansågs strida mot god marknadsföringThe rule of identification of advertising; that an advertiser clearly has to show that an advertisement is commercial, is old. It is cherished by the media, the industry and the general public. Up until the seventies it was the industry itself that, thru self regulation and private courts, upheld a certain standard in regards to marketing. The lack of identification of advertising was not conside

För att undersöka nanopartiklars toxicitet finns behov av att producera väldefinierade nanopartiklar dispergerade i en kolloid suspension. Men även för andra områden så som nanomedicin finns ett behov av denna typ av lösningar. För att dispergera partiklarna i vätska används ofta ytaktiva ämnen. När dessa ämnen tillsätts adderas de på ytan av partikeln och förändrar partiklarnas yta. Då forskning To examine nanoparticle toxicity there is a need to produce defined nanoparticles dispersed in a colloidal suspension. Such a solution could also be interesting for other fields such as nano-medicine. In order to disperse the particles in the liquid there are often surfactant added to the process that alternates the surface of the particles. As the research shows that the surface of a nanoparticle
