Chain of Custody on timber refers to the chronological documentation throughout the value chain, from forest to consumer. For a construction company, who engages within Social Responsible Purchasing, it is important to know where purchased material origins from. Timber is especially important in this matter, since the problem with illegal logging is widespread and causes environmental damage, conf
Skalbolag är ett företag i vilket företagets tillgångar i huvudsak består av kontanter, värdepapper och liknande likvida tillgångar vid tidpunkten för avyttring. Ett aktiebolag, en ekonomisk förening eller ett handelsbolag kan vara ett skalbolag. Ett skalbolag föreligger om summan av marknadsvärdet av företagets likvida tillgångar överstiger hälften av köpeskillingen vid tidpunkten för avyttringenA shell company is a company where the company’s assets mainly consist of cash, securities and other similar liquid assets. The shell company can be: a limited liability company, an economic association or a general partnership. The company is a shell company if market value of the company’s liquid assets exceeds the half of the purchase price at the time of sale. There are several reasons to buy
Galaxer formas när enorma gasmoln kollapsar på grund av gravitation. Små ojämnheter får gasen att rotera vilket leder till att molnet pressas ihop till en disk. Stjärnor bildas av gasen som i sin tur fortsätter att rotera. Under tid dör stjärnorna och blir till gas igen som sedan bildar nya stjärnor. Interaktioner mellan galaxersker genom kollisioner och gravitationskrafter. Det kan påverka galaxThe Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC & SMC) are the two largest galaxies orbiting the Milky Way (MW). The interactions between them have affected the evolution of both galaxies. The interactions have affected the galaxies differently depending on how strong they have been. Tidal forces from the interactions are argued to have produced a stream of stars and gas called the Magellanic Bridg
Genom att använda koldioxidinfångning som drivs av överskottsvärme på ett massabruk i sydvästra Sverige så kan mer än en tredjedel av de fossila utsläppen från hela pappers- och massaindustrin fångas in genom så kallade negativa utsläpp. Detta visar på hur snabbt Sveriges fossila utsläpp kan minska genom användning av koldioxidinfångning. På ett massabruk används trä som den huvudsakliga råvaranAs the atmospheric carbon dioxide keeps increasing, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is getting increased attention as a measure to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide. It is especially interesting in Sweden where the extensive paper and pulp industry constitutes point sources of biogenic carbon dioxide. As carbon capture requires energy, it is important to investigate the oppo
The release of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) has substantially increased the global mean surface air temperature. Increases in global mean surface air temperature will lead to warmer and drier conditions, promoting more frequent, long-lasting, intense forest wildfires. The usage of remote sensing (RS) can aid in quantifying forest characteristics and large-scale changes in forest ecosystem
Three-part parenting is an approach that social services in Sweden should use in collaboration around a child placed in foster care. It describes how foster home, parents and social services share responsibilities for the welfare of the child. The purpose of this study was to illuminate the state of knowledge about the approach among social workers working with children and adolescents in Sweden.
Healthcare professionals in Sweden have a legal obligation to acknowledge and provide support to children as next of kin and to notify social services in case of suspicion that a child is in harm or may be at risk of harm. Despite this, studies show a lack of reported cases to social services, it also shows that the work with children as next of kin is not as extended as it should be. Swedish rese
Ideella föreningar är en fundamental del av det svenska samhället. I hög grad tack vare en vidsträckt föreningsfrihet, har de ideella föreningarna blivit ett landsomfattande forum för människor att slutas samman för gemensamma syften. De genomsyrar hela samhällslivet – från politiken, till idrott, körsång och fackföreningar. Ideella föreningar påverkar i stort sett hela den svenska befolkningen. ÄNon-profit associations are a fundamental part of Swedish society. Largely due to an extensive freedom of association, Sweden has become a society where non-profit associations thrive. Is a nationwide forum for individuals to unite around common purposes. Non-profit organisations permeate all aspects of social life—from politics to sports, choral singing, and labor unions. They impact virtually th
Välgrundade förutsägelser av olika livsmedels kvalitet och säkerhet är mycket viktiga för att förebygga matsvinn. Ofta görs dessa förutsägelser med hjälp av lagringsstudier där produkten lagras i förhållanden som simulerar produktens väg från producent till dagligvaruhandel. Dessa studier kräver mycket resurser och tid, vilket belyser behovet av accelererade hållbarhetsstudier – som är baserade påAccurate predictions about the quality and safety of food are critical to prevent food waste. Often, food is stored in conditions simulating a product’s way from production to retail, which allows producers to assess quality and safety during the product’s shelf life. These storage trials are costly and time-consuming, meaning that there is incentive to reduce the testing time. Accelerated shelf-l
The purpose of current study is to produce groundwater qanat potential map using frequency ratio (FR) and Shannon's entropy (SE) models in the Moghan watershed, Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran. The qanat is basically a horizontal, interconnected series of underground tunnels that accumulate and deliver groundwater from a mountainous source district, along a water- bearing formation (aquifer), and t
Prostate cancer (PCa) incidence has steadily increased in Sweden, more steeply in the mid-1990s caused by increased opportunistic prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. Tallness, normal weight, and non-smoking are associated with more PSA testing, which increases detection of low-risk and localised PCa. We investigated time trends of height, body mass index (BMI), and smoking with PCa risk in 17
Ultrasound optical tomography enables noninvasive characterization of tissue and lesions up to 5 cm below the skin surface, by enhancing diffuse optical tomography with ultrasound focusing resolution and an increased number of measurement points. For optimal clinical imaging, it is essential to be able to reconstruct tissue optical properties in real time during in vivo measurements, and therefore
Aims: In the randomized DAPA-MI clinical trial, 10 mg of dapagliflozin once daily improved cardiometabolic outcomes versus placebo after acute myocardial infarction (MI) in patients without established diabetes or heart failure (HF). We assessed associations between baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and cardiometabolic outcomes in DAPA-MI. Methods: The primary outcome, assessed us
The issue of measures which are sensitive from a privacy perspective appears to be rather unregulated in Swedish law. Lately the question has been the subject of intense discussions and in 2008 a proposition of a future law is expected. At present time the current rules are found in the Personal Data Act, the law concerning general video surveillance and labour principles such as employer's su
The aim of this project is to investigate the requirements of intern audit of fire safety management systems. The project started out with a literature survey followed by a case study at the warehouse Gekås in Ullared, Sweden. As a complement to the literature survey, representatives from a couple of different Swedish municipalities were interviewed. The goal with the case study was to find out wh
The aim of this essay was to analyze how the child sex tourism is looked upon and how Swedish actors on the global arena act against the child sex tourism in Thailand. The United Nations define child sex tourism as "trips organized from within the tourism sector, or from outside this sector but using its structures and networks, with the primary purpose of effecting a commercial sexual relati
Popular science summary: Transcriptional regulation of HIF-2α in neuroblastoma Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumor in childhood. The presence of hypoxia -regions of low levels of oxygen- causes a more immature tumor phenotype that is related to a more aggressive form of this cancer. Hypoxia is mainly directed by Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α. High levels of HIF-2α expre
People’s eating habits and how we use the kitchen today has changed extensively over the last few decades. New ways of living and cooking generates a need of rethinking the kitchen and the appliances to better fit the demands and desires of modern living. This concept helps the user include the dishes as an easier part of cooking, and an encouragement to rediscover the health and pleasure of provi
