Är stallgödsling anpassad efter jordens fosforhalt en bra åtgärd för att motverka fosforläckage? Vattenmyndigheternas i Sverige har lagt fram ett förslag att förbjuda stallgödsling på åkermark, baserat på jordens fosforhalt, för att förhindra fosforläckage. Fosfor är ett viktigt näringsämne för jordbruksnäringen, men kan även orsaka skador i vattensystem. Resultatet visar att jordar med hög fosfoThe Swedish Water Authorities have proposed a measure to reduce phosphorus losses by restricting manure application on soils with high levels of plant available phosphorus. The aim of this thesis was to investigate if leaching of phosphorus will decrease if the measure is implemented, if the effect is restricted to soils with high phosphorus content and if other European countries have implemented

De kontrakt som idag ingås mellan kommersiella aktörer baseras nästan uteslutande på neoklassiska ekonomiska teorier om marknaden. De neoklassiska teorierna utgår ifrån att alla aktörer på marknaden agerar efter egennytta. Vidare bygger neoklassisk ekonomi på antagandet att transaktionerna som genomförs är s.k. diskreta transaktioner och att kontrakten som författas är kompletta kontrakt. Det är nContracts concluded between commercial actors today are based almost exclusively on neoclassical economic theories about the market. The neoclassical theories assume that all actors in the market act with pure self-interest. Additionally, neo-classical economy is based on the assumption that the transactions implemented are so-called discrete transactions, and that contracts entered into are compl

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the increased use of the communication channels provided by Internet affect production and distribution cycles of the fashion system, and what the consequences this development will have on the fashion concept.

Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies. Several histotypes with different molecular and morphological features representing this cancer type make it very challenging from clinico-pathological perspective. Thus there is need for better prognostic and molecular markers. Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a subtype with poor prognosis and very distinct phenotype when

This paper sets out to estimate expected lifetime of revolving credit facilities (e.g. credit card products) and is motivated by the introduction of the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9) and its requirements for loan impairments. The reporting entity is required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses for certain nancial instruments. In practice, maximum contractual period What period should credit losses be estimated over in IFRS 9? When the standard on how to account for credit losses moves to an expected loss approach, there is a need to find out how far into the future to look for losses. This is known as the expected lifetime, and I have dived into interpreting how the IFRS 9 standard can be implemented in a model for expected lifetime for credit cards and simi

I franchiseutredningen inför införandet av lag (2006:484) om franchisegivares informationsplikt uttalas uttryckligen att i ett franchisesamarbete är en franchisetagare typiskt sett att betrakta som den svagare avtalsparten. I fråga om avtalstvister kan underlägsen ställning ha en väsentlig betydelse eftersom det finns lagregler som särskilt tar sikte på att skydda en underlägsen avtalspart, inte bFranchising is not a partnership which is expressly regulated by law in Sweden outside of the Franchise Disclosure Act of 2006. Some other partnerships on the other hand have dedicated regulations in legislation, for instance the Commercial Agents Act /Lag (1991:351) om handelsagentur and the Commissions Act / Kommissionslagen (2009:865) The current legislation is a disclosure law which obligates

This study presents an empirical investigation of i) testing the Granger Causality between economic growth and aggregated carbon dioxide (CO2) emission; and economic growth and disaggregated CO2 emission from burning fossil fuel coal, oil and natural gas respectively; ii) the potential impact on economic growth if countries substitute CO2 emission from dirty energy, coal, by emission from relative

This master’s thesis explores how a Global Manufacturing Network can be designed with predefined requirements for local final assembly at an overseas plant. This was done in collaboration with Alfa Laval, where the global manufacturing network of Freshwater Generators (FWGs) was analyzed. The study evaluated options of sourcing directly from suppliers and via the main factory to different extents.

Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om ett fullgott juridiskt ramverk i syfte att skydda den arktiska regionen redan är etablerat, eller om ytterligare juridiska instrument behöver tillkomma för att så ska vara fallet. Frågan diskuteras med bakgrund av det faktum att den arktiska isen smälter i en hög takt, och att framtiden för regionen sannolikt kommer att se väldigt annorThe main purpose of this thesis is to examine whether or not the legal framework to govern the Arctic can be said to be in place already, or if additional judicial measures need to be taken, given the future that awaits the region as a result of the ongoing rapid ice melt. For many decades, or even centuries, it was the common perception that the Arctic would remain permanently ice-covered, and be

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by selective loss of dopaminergic neurons and progressive accumulation of intracellular alpha synuclein protein aggregates known as Lewy bodies. Due to pathological links to both sporadic and inherited cases of PD, alpha synuclein (asyn) has become a focal point for study, although the exact mechanisms of its toxicity are not known. In contrast to

Non-native trees are common in urban environments all over the world. From a conservation viewpoint, it is essential to understand how these trees are affecting urban breeding birds. Non-native trees house fewer and smaller invertebrates than native trees do and are considered a poor food source for insectivorous birds. Still, studies are lacking on exactly how non-native trees affect birds’ feedi

Museums have long had an important role as institutions for learning and education. In recent years, the pedagogical role of museums has become more important. Museums can offer a different kind of learning compared to the formal education system, and museums can be important resources for schools. However, as a recent report from The Swedish National Heritage Board shows, many museums are struggl

Kollektivtrafiken är viktig i samtliga större städer i Sverige. Att resa hållbart är ett sätt att bidra till en god livsmiljö. Därför satsas det en hel del på att effektivisera och tillgängliggöra kollektivtrafiken. Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka om utbudet utgör en central faktor till att en stad lyckas med stadstrafikresande bättre än en annan stad med liknade befolkning. I den här stu

In this rapid era of technology, speed of communication has become an important factor. To overcome this challenge, 5G/NR technology is being explored. One of the ways of doing this is by using the so called millimeter wave spectrum. In order to make usage of the mmWave spectrum, due to the high path loss it introduces, the beamforming technique is adopted. Beamforming is a method used in high fre
