In order to meet its carbon targets, the UK must address the decarbonisation of the currently fossil-fuel dependent system of heating. Buildings and heat strategy at the national level has been insufficient in combatting this issue, and it is increasingly suggested that more local and regional approaches will be needed to accelerate the transition to low carbon heating. There is scope for furt

Enligt svensk lag föreligger sedan länge äktenskapshinder mot att ingå månggifte och tvegifte är dessutom kriminaliserat. Vidare är det svenska äktenskapet per definition monogamt. Makar ska även vara jämställda och behandlas lika. Det finns länder som tillåter månggiften av ekonomiska och sociala skäl. Bland utländska månggiften som figurerar i Sverige har många ingåtts enligt rättsordningar som In Swedish law, polygamy has been both criminalized and considered an impediment of marriage for a long time. Monogamy, as well as gender equality and equality in general, are fundamental principles in Swedish family law. Polygamous marriages are legal in certain other states due to being considered favorable for both economic and social reasons. Many foreign polygamous marriages that figure in Sw

Värdering av tillgångar har betydelse i flera avseenden. Denna uppsats har till syfte att utreda hur värderingen går till vid tvångsmässiga situationer och även att identifiera vilka kriterier som påverkar värderingsprocessen i olika tvångsmässiga värderingssituationer. Jag har valt att granska fem olika tvångsmässiga situationer, nämligen konkurs, företagsrekonstruktion, utmätning, expropriation Valuation of assets is important in several aspects. This essay has aimed to investigate how the valuation is done in compulsory situations and to identify the criteria’s that affect the valuation process in compulsory situations. I have chosen to examine five different compulsory situations, namely bankruptcy, corporate reorganization, foreclosure, expropriation and the preparation of a control b

Gender-based violence survivors have barriers to access to justice around the globe. However, States are responsible for removing those barriers and ensuring that everyone can access needed services and justice without discrimination regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality, disability, or age. Turkey is no exception with its international commitments and domestic laws to

Surrogatskap är en aktuell och omdebatterad fråga. Varken altruistiska eller kommersiella surrogatskap är tillåtna i Sverige. Surrogatskap är en relativt ny företeelse och diskuterades för första gången på 1980-talet i riksdagen. Till en början var de flesta partier restriktivt inställda och talade om surrogatskap som en främmande och osedlig företeelse. Med åren öppnades det dock upp för en diskuSurrogacy is a current and often debated issue. Neither altruistic nor commercial surrogacy is allowed in Sweden. When surrogacy was first discussed in the 1980s most parties were restrictive and spoke of surrogacy as a foreign and immoral phenomenon. Over the years, however, more parties have opened up for discussing the matter. In SOU 2016: 11, the possibility of surrogacy in Sweden was investi

The Palaeocene arctic supported a vegetation type quite distinct from the tundra and polar desert of today. Here we demonstrate, through the palynological record, the structure of this extinct vegetation and its dynamics over this period. The Late Palaeocene coal-bearing units of the Sagwon Bluffs on Alaska's North Slope (present latitude 69 degrees N) are predominantly fine-grained, non-marine an

Gaining reliable estimates of how long fish early life stages can survive without feeding and how starvation rate and time until death are influenced by body size, temperature and species is critical to understanding processes controlling mortality in the sea. The present study is an across-species analysis of starvation-induced changes in biochemical condition in early life stages of nine marine

The impact of cytogenetic findings in AML was analyzed in the large population-based Swedish AML registry. Karyotypic patterns differed by age: t(8;21), inv(16) and t(11q23) were more common in younger patients, whereas loss of 5q, 7q and 17p, monosomal karyotype (MK) and complex karyotype (CK) were more common in older patients. Patients with ≥5 chromosome abnormalities had worse overall survival

A characteristic feature of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is the high risk of recurrent disease after primary treatment. Although only a minority of cases eventually progress to a life-threatening muscle-invasive tumour, it is necessary to conduct long-term follow-up with repeated cystoscopies. In addition to the negative mental and physical impact that this has on the patient, the ex

BACKGROUND: It is not known why survival differs between men and women in oxygen-dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The present study evaluates differences in comorbidity between men and women, and tests the hypothesis that comorbidity contributes to sex-related differences in mortality in oxygen-dependent COPD. METHODS: National prospective study of patients aged 50 years or

Pollen accumulation rates (PARs) provide a potential proxy for quantitative tree volume (m3 ha-1) reconstruction with reliable absolute pollen productivity estimates (APPEs). We obtained APPEs for pine, spruce and birch at their range limits in northern Finland under two temperature periods (warm and cold) based on long-term pollen trap and tree volume records within a 14-km radius of each trap. A

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med avhandlingen var att undersöka om och hur lek påverkar arbetsplatsens kreativitet. Forskning har visat att leken är viktig för barns kreativitet, men leken kan också gynna vuxnas kreativitet. En vanlig definition av kreativitet är att den innebär skapandet av något som är både nytt och nyttigt. När lek definieras beskrivs den som ett mentalt tillstånd eller eThis thesis investigates how play may benefit creativity in organizational contexts. Play and playfulness have previously been linked to creativity in children and adults, but empirical organizational research is scarce. A widely accepted definition of creativity is that it involves the production of something that is both novel and appropriate. Play is defined as a behavioral approach that is cha

Animal feed is a recognised source of Salmonella enterica for farm livestock and may also indirectly cause infection in people consuming foods of animal origin. It is therefore important to have rapid, reproducible and specific methods for the detection of Salmonella in feed, and for the characterisation of strains for further epidemiological investigations or to trace the source of contamination

Uppsatsens primära syfte är att undersöka förekomsten och regleringen av rörliga ersättningar till ledande befattningshavare i svenska börsbolag. Ett första steg i besvarandet av frågeställningen är att utreda vad begreppet bolagsstyrning är. Termen är en översättning från engelskans corporate governance och definieras bland annat som ”ett system genom vilket företag styrs och kontrolleras”. En goThe primary purpose of this thesis is to examine the existence and regulation of variable remuneration and incentive programs to executive directors in listed companies in Sweden. By way of introduction the thesis investigates what corporate governance is. It is defined as the system by which companies are directed and controlled. A good corporate governance is necessary in order to obtain and att

I Sverige kan den som blir häktad på grund av misstanke för brott bli ålagd restriktioner enligt 24 kap. 5a § RB, om åklagaren finner att det föreligger risk att den misstänkte kommer att försvåra utredningen genom att undandra bevisning, det vill säga om en kollusionsfara finns. Häktningsrestriktioner innebär att den häktade blir förbjuden att vistas tillsammans med andra intagna, mottaga besök, A person being arrested in Sweden on the suspicion of a crime may be subjected to restrictions according to chapter 24 § 5a RB while incarcerated, if the prosecutor finds there is a risk that the suspect will interfere with the investigation. The detainee being placed under restrictions during detention, may be forbidden to meet other detainees, receive visits from friends and family, receive phon

Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda gränsdragningen av ett samtyckes ansvarsbefriande verkan vid misshandelsfall av normalgraden i sexuella sammanhang. Dessa fall rör sig i gränslandet mellan det straffbara och det straffria. Uppsatsen utreder gränslandet genom att se till hur ett ansvarsbefriande samtycke är uppbyggt. Det konstateras att det krävs ett giltigt samtycke och att själva gärningen inteThe purpose of this bachelor thesis is to investigate the boundary of a consent exonerating effect on assaults of the normal degree made in a sexual context. Such cases are located at the boundary between the criminal and impunity. The paper investigates the boundary area by looking at how an exonerating consent is constructed. It is noted that there is a need for a valid consent and that the act

To reduce the risk of serious chemical accidents to occur there is a legislation called the Seveso-legislation. One part of this legislation demands that all business that handle certain amounts of chemical compounds to submit a safety report in order to get permission to run their business. The safety report should contain over-all plans of how to handle safety as well as detailed descriptions o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Prostatacancer drabbar män över hela världen; i Sverige får ungefär 10 000 personer diagnosen varje år. För den enskilda individen kan följderna innebära fysiskt och psykiskt lidande, men även samhället belastas med höga vårdkostnader. För att undvika onödigt lidande, men också minska kostnaderna är det nödvändigt att ta fram nya läkemedel och metoder för att i god tid The aims of this thesis were to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) with prostate cancer prognostic and diagnostic potential, to discover miRNAs with therapeutic capacity against prostate cancer, and to investigate if prostate specific antigen (PSA) is miRNA regulated. Prostate cancer is a globally spread disease with low mortality, but some patients develop an aggressive lethal form of prostate cancer w

N-15 labeled ammonium, glycine or glutamic acid was injected into subarctic heath soil in situ, with the purpose of investigating how the nitrogen added in these pulses was subsequently utilized and cycled in the ecosystem. We analyzed the acquisition of N-15 label in mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants and in soil microorganisms, in order to reveal probable differences in acquisition patterns

Dynamic vegetation models are useful tools for analysing terrestrial ecosystem processes and their interactions with climate through variations in carbon and water exchange. Long-term changes in structure and composition (vegetation dynamics) caused by altered competitive strength between plant functional types (PFTs) are attracting increasing attention as controls on ecosystem functioning and pot
