Popular Summary Native forests are one of the most important natural resources in Chile and cover 13.6 million ha in Chile (18% of the country area). These forests provide a wide range of ecosystem services but have been negatively affected by drastic land-use changes. Taking into account that future climate and land-use changes will affect these ecosystems, it is important to have efficient tools

Purpose - Food lost or wasted constitutes a substantial environmental, economic and social problem; today roughly one-third of edible parts of food that is produced for human consumption globally gets lost or wasted. Thus, a reduction of waste would contribute to a sustainable use of resources. It has been highlighted that packaging development has the potential to play an important role in this p

I Skuremåla, Blekinge har litostratigrafiska studier utförts av en platåformad grus- och sandavlagring. Skuremåla-avlagringen har tidigare beskrivits som ett delta med en överyta på 55 m ö h. Syftet med arbetet är att tolka vad för sorts ”delta” Skuremåla-avlagringen utgör samt depositionsmiljön för sedimenten i fråga. I denna studie har området undersökts genom jordartskartering samt genom skruvbA lithostragraphic study has been performed of a plateau-shaped sand and gravel deposit at Skuremåla in Blekinge, SE Sweden. The Skuremåla deposit has earlier been described as a delta with an upper surface 55 m a.s.l. The purpose of this study is to re-evaluate this interpretation, i.e. is the Skuremåla deposits a delta or possibly another type of formation. Furthermore, the investigation aims at

I denna framställning behandlas fyra huvudsakliga frågeställningar beträffande den avtalsrättsliga lojalitetsplikten som försäkringsbolag har att beakta i företagsförsäkringsavtal. Beträffande den fösta frågeställningen, vad lojalitetsplikten i dessa avtal grundas på, kan följande konstateras. Plikten innebär att parterna med omsorg har att iaktta och tillvarata motpartens intressen i avtalsförhThis presentation deals with four main issues concerning the contractual duty of loyalty which insurance companies have to consider in business insurance agreements. Regarding the first question at issue - what the duty of loyalty in these agreements is based on - the following can be stated.

Uppsatsen behandlar frågan om skydd av ägarpositioner i anslutning till familjeägda aktiebolag. Anledningen till uppsatsens tema är att familjeägda aktiebolag har en särprägel som avviker från det efter ABL konstruerade aktiebolaget. Detta uttrycks, till exempel genom att ägarna i det familjeägda bolaget vanligtvis har ett särskilt behov av att skydda ägarkretsens sammansättning under en längre peThis paper is on protection of ownership positions in relation to family-owned businesses. The reason for the papers theme is that family-owned businesses have a distinctive character that deviates from the construction in the Companies Act.

Several Swedish municipalities, in particular Stockholm inner city, suffer from excessive housing shortage – demand exceeds supply by far. The result of this is for example a market with a long housing queue, illegal trade with lease agreements and rental houses being transformed into building societies. These problems are due to the fact that the rental housing market in Sweden is controlled and

The starting point of our master’s thesis was the recent debate regarding the school library arising from the implementation of the new version of the Swedish Education Act (Skollagen SFS 2010:800). Many have criticized the new Education Act, claiming that it puts a too large focus on the library as place. Some even claim that the school library as place is out-dated and not relevant in today’s so

Värdeöverföringar av olika slag från ett aktiebolag kan innebära risker för såväl bolagets borgenärer som enskilda aktieägare. Borgenärerna exponeras för en större risk ju mindre kapital som finns kvar i bolaget till betalning av deras fordringar. Minoritetsägare riskerar att bli förfördelade när majoritetsägare driver igenom värdeöverföringar som gynnar dem själva. Värdeöverföringsförbudet i 17 kValue transfers from a company may impose a substantial risk on both creditors and certain shareholders. As the coverage of the share capital decreases and less capital is kept within the company for the payment of its debts, the creditors are exposed to a greater financial risk. The minority shareholders on their part run the risk of being subjected to an undue disadvantage in the decision-making

Background: The term ‘legacy systems’ refers to existing Information Systems that have been deployed in the past and have been running critical business processes within an enterprise in its current IT architecture.

This thesis addresses the legal protection afforded to a new separate branch of intellectual property law commonly referred to as geographical indications. Simply put a geographical indication is a label of origin designed to protect goods originating from a particular area with specific qualities connected to the region in question. Protection is granted for the whole region letting any company w

This study advances a broad analytical perspective intended to critically evaluate the predominant definitions of information operations (IO). The prevalent concepts of IO are challenged due to their reliance on unidirectional communication flow models that cannot account for the characteristics of produsage media, nor the culturally specific, interpersonally contextualized sense making processes

Created in the aftermath of the Second World War the United Nations and its bodies do not represent the world that we live in today. The effectiveness and the usefulness of the organisation have been questioned and the need for a reformation has increased. The distinction between power and authority and the different organs of the UN is difficult to draw. The Security Council has the main responsi

If human rights are to be enjoyed by every person regardless of origin or nationality; if human rights are the rights of the human being under any circumstances, then the best way to gauge the quality and depth of our systems of protection of human rights will be to examine the extent to which these are enjoyed by their most genuine recipients: those deprived of wealth and citizenship, a home and

The bike helmet is certainly a topic of current interest. From January the 1st 2005 it is mandated by law that children under 15 years old must use bike helmet when biking or being given a lift on a bike. There is an ongoing debate about the next step, to develop the law on bike helmet to apply for adult bicyclists as well. If a law like this would be established, the request on bike helmets would

Ammonia is considered a promising carbon-free fuel for marine engines, yet challenges persist in utilizing ammonia as a carbon-free marine fuel due to its inherently low reactivity and significant emissions of NOx and N2O. To address these issues, advanced combustion strategies, such as ammonia/diesel dual-fuel Reactivity-Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI), have been proposed. This thesis pres

Apple is one of the most important pollinator-dependent fruit crops worldwide. To secure high-quality yields, it is crucial to know which, and to what extent, pollinating insects contribute to its pollination success as measured by fruit set, fruit weight and seed set. We perform a meta-analysis of field studies conducted across multiple orchards on insect-mediated pollination in apple cultivation
