Soils provide the foundation for human well-being but are increasingly degrading from land use change or types of intensive land use like agriculture. In Europe, soil natural capital is degrading over time and space because of compaction, erosion, and the loss of organic matter. This trend diminishes the soil’s ability to sustain a flow of ecosystem services, which are valuable to human well-being
Education for sustainability (EfS) has been regarded a promising approach for solving sustainability challenges. Results have been unsatisfying due to a knowledge-dissemination focus in the formal sector. Reasons are economic and political interests shaping formal education. Therefore, hopes are placed in the non-formal sector to close this knowledge-to-action gap. In this case study, I aim to und
Sedan 2015 har Sverige en uttalat feministisk utrikespolitik, med målet att ett genusperspektiv ska genomsyra all politisk verksamhet. Parallellt med denna nya politiska inriktning fortsätter Sverige att exportera krigsmateriel till icke-demokratiska och konfliktdrabbade stater, något som har gett upphov till kritik. Genom att granska den statliga myndighet som ansvarar för beslut om krigsmateriel
An efficient method for selective alpha-alkylation of ketones with alcohols was developed using 2-hydroxypyridine-based ligands coordinated by palladium as pre-catalysts. The reactions were performed without additional additives under mild reaction conditions. The method is environmentally friendly to build C-C bond as water is the only byproduct. This tandem reaction proceeds via dehydrogenation
Global agri-food systems are in urgent need of a sustainability transformation guided by best practices of agroecology.

BACKGROUND: Very few studies have investigated whether unilateral choanal atresia is associated with permanent olfactory deficits.OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the olfactory performance of patients with unilateral choanal atresia postsurgically.METHODS: Three patients with unilateral atresia were examined in terms of olfactory performance with the Sniffin' Sticks test (odor identificatio
Dysfunctional water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) systems are mainly determined by poor water governance, exacerbating inequalities and poverty. Multi-stakeholder partnerships provide an approach to more flexible and adaptive governance to explore these problems. In this article, national commitments made to improve WaSH, made through the Sanitation and Water for All (SWA) partnership’s Mutual Ac
The focus of this chapter is the conversations with parents that were conducted during the project "Opportunities for preschool in a migrating world". The background for the conversations with parents lies in the preschool staff's perception that what makes their particular approach unique and valuable depends on the time and care they put into contact with the parents. Several aspects of the sect

Administratively the area is highly fragment
The case company under study has conducted a continuous process of business model innovation for sustainability since 2007, but is suffering from barriers present in the process. The limited amount of literature on business model innovation for sustainability provides little guidance on barriers. Therefore, this research aims to contribute to the literature by identifying what barriers are present
Forskning visar att när patienter upplever att de blir dåligt bemötta av hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal drabbas patienternas möjligheter att vara delaktiga i sin egen vård. Då är det viktigt att det finns någonstans patienterna kan vända sig och klaga. Den här uppsatsens syfte är att analysera det svenska klagomålssystemet inom hälso- och sjukvården i teori och praktik, med en särskild fokus på bemöThe topic of this essay is the complaint system in the Swedish healthcare. There are four instances that have a responsibility to process complaints: the healthcare provider, the Patient Advisory Committee, IVO (the Health and Social Care Inspectorate), and DO (the Equality Ombudsman). The complaints that are the focus in this essay are those from patients concerning the behaviour, receivement, an

Att arbetsmarknaden är i ständig förändring råder det ingen tvekan om. Produktionen av både tjänster och varor efterfrågar nya former för förvärvande av arbetsprestationer. Mer eller mindre nya grepp inom företagsvärlden som till exempel utkontraktering och projektanställningar vittnar om detta. Förändringarna gör att gränsdragningen mellan att vara arbetstagare och uppdragstagare inte kan förväntThe labour market is constantly changing. The production of both services and goods are now acquiring labour in new forms. More or less new tendencies in business management such as outsourcing and project assignments are realities today. These changes add complexity to the process of defining whether a person, the work performing part, is to be considered as employed by the principal or as an ent

Syftet med vår uppsats är att utifrån svenska mindre aktiebolags, revisorers och expertorgans perspektiv redogöra för om förslagen i propositionen ”Förenklade redovisningsregler m.m.” och BFNs ”Allmänna råd för K2 - mindre aktiebolag” överensstämmer med vad de anser behöver förenklas. Syftet är också att redogöra för vilken funktion redovisningen har för de mindre aktiebolagen och vilka konsekvens
Syftet med examensarbetet är att analysera om BFN stötte på problem vid upparbetningen, samt om vår expert och redovisningsekonomerna tror samma problem kommer att uppstå vid tillämpningen. Ändamålet är även att beskriva varför dessa kommer att bli problematiska och om andra problem kommer att uppstå. I teorin beskrivs gällande regelverk och kommande K2-regelverket för belysta problemområden samt
