Tänkt dig att du går i skogen en solig dag. Du hör fågelsång, ser vackra blommor och äter blåbär. Inne i skogen känner du ett lugn och kan andas ut från vardagens stress. Inget av detta hade varit möjligt utan en mångfald av arter i skogen, men idag är den hotad. Den biologiska mångfalden hotas av fragmentering och ändrad markanvändning, till exempel så blir våra skogar allt mer artfattiga. SkogsbLoss of biodiversity is an important environmental problem.

With this research I have answered the twofold question of how Cuba played a part in the making of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and what differences and similarities that can be found between the Cuban draft of Human Rights versus the final product of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Since there is no previous research in this field I have chosen to look at some of the most

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Aerosoler är små partiklar i luften. Partiklarna är uppbyggda av föreningar som kommer från till exempel bilavgaser eller vedeldning. Föreningarna kan också bildas på naturlig väg i växter och avges då främst sommartid. Smog i storstäder är ett tydligt exempel där höga koncentrationer av aerosoler orsakar både försämrad sikt och hälsorisker. En del av aerosolparIn this study 12 organics acids that are common in aerosols were analyzed. Of them there were seven aliphatic dicarboxylic acids (C3-C9). Also pinonic acid, pinic acid, syringic acid, vanillic acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid were analyzed. All the 19 samples were taken at Vavihill background station at Söderåsen between 2009-12-13 and 2010-11-03. The samples were collected with a PM10-sampler on qu
Kandidatprogrammet för personal- och arbetslivsfrågor vid Lunds universitet drivs i samverkan mellan sociologiska, psykologiska och handelsrättsliga institutionerna, varför ett tvärvetenskapligt angreppssätt blir naturligt i denna arbetsrättsliga kandidatuppsats. Domstolens juridiska problemlösningsmetod är till viss del konventions-, språk-, argumentations- och värderingsstyrd. Det blir då intres
