Uppsatsen behandlar hur miljörelaterade fordringar hanteras när en verksamhet går i konkurs och i vilken utsträckning principen om att förorenaren ska betala får genomslag i svensk konkursrätt. Utgångspunkten är de praktiska problem som uppstår när kostsamma efterbehandlingsåtgärder aktualiseras först efter konkursutbrottet, samtidigt som det inte finns någon generell skyldighet för staten eller kThis thesis examines how environmental claims are treated when a business is declared bankrupt, and to what extent the polluter pays principle is upheld in Swedish bankruptcy law. The point of departure is the practical difficulties that occur when costly remediation measures become relevant only after the opening of bankruptcy proceedings, while there is no general legal obligation for the State

Aggrecan (ACAN) is localized in the intervertebral disc (IVD) in unique compartment-specific patterns where it contributes to the tissue structure and mechanical function together with collagens. The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the IVD undergoes degenerative changes during aging, misuse or trauma, which inevitably alter the biochemical and biomechanical properties of the tissue. A deeper underst

The assessment of remediation on metal-polluted soils is usually focused on total and/or bioavailable metal content. However, these chemical variables do not provide direct information about reductions in heavy metals pressure on soil microorganisms. We propose the use of bacterial communities to evaluate the efficiency of three remediation techniques: crushed mussel shell (CMS) and pine bark (PB)

Asynclitism, the most feared malposition of the fetal head during labor, still represents to date an unresolved field of interest, remaining one of the most common causes of prolonged or obstructed labor, dystocia, assisted delivery, and cesarean section. Traditionally asynclitism is diagnosed by vaginal examination, which is, however, burdened by a high grade of bias. On the contrary, the recent

Materials of ionic crystals are ubiquitous in industrial chemistry.For example, materials such as cerium dioixde (CeO2) are used in both self-cleaning ovens and to clean exhaust fumes from cars.Other materials, such as titanium dioixde (TiO2) has been used in the solar-cell industry.So-called garnets are used in several lasers.In common for all of these areas of application, is that they are depen

The purpose was to investigate "adult foster childrens" view on their childhood and how it may have been influencing their adulthood. The importance of relationships were mostly in focus in the essay. The method was qualitative deepinterviews with three adult foster children between 30-42 years of age. Important themequestions was about: origin family, the time in foster home, relations

We have done a study concerning young women, in the ages of 20 to 30, and their thoughts about, consumption of, and habits regarding alcohol. The study is the base of our essay which has been done during the last ten weeks of the sixth semester (of seven) for the Bachelor degree of Social Work Science at Socialhögskolan in Lund. The study is built around five themes found in the essays purpose. El

Den här uppsatsens syfte är att kritiskt analysera Lag (1970:943) om arbetstid m.m. för husligt anställda – även kallad hushållslagen - ur två perspektiv; dels ett rättshistorisk, dels ett genusrättsligt. Den senaste legostadgan från 1833 var snarare en befolkningspolitisk lagstiftning än en arbetsrättslig sådan. För att undvika belastning på samhället föreskrev den tjänstetvång för alla myndigaThe purpose of this essay is to analyse the Swedish Domestic Work Act (1970:943) from two perspectives; one legal historical and one gender perspective. The latest so-called legostadga from 1833 worked more as legislation for population policy than for labour regulations. In order to avoid putting pressure on society, it forced all citizens who were of age and unable to support themselves to work

In the spring of 2015, five young feminist activists were arrested by the Chinese police for allegedly ‘causing trouble’, which resulted in global attention aimed at this new wave of feminist movement. Youth feminist activism have made their voice heard in China through numerous actions for gender equality since 2012. Not much is known about the new feminist movements and the limited work that exi

Trots att preventivmedel är lättillgängligt för kvinnor i Sverige idag, både praktisk och ekonomisk, visar nyligen framlagd forskning att abortstatistiken i Sverige ökat bland kvinnor 24-29 år. Studien lyfter fram negativa attityder gentemot hor-monella preventivmedel som en bidragande faktor. Vår studie ser till hur missupp-fattningarna kring preventivmedel kan förklaras, vilken roll kommunikatioEven though contraceptives in Sweden are made sure to be easily accessible to women both practically and economically resent research by medical institutions in Sweden shows that the abortion statistics are increasing amongst women aged 24-29. The study implicates that the statistics are related to negative attitudes to-wards hormonal contraceptives amongst these women. In our study we aim to in-v

Mundelsskadefrekvensen hos Fjädermygglarver har i tidigare studier används som bioindikator på sjöars eller vattendrags exponering för miljögifter. På uppdrag av Skellefteå kommun utfördes sommaren 2014 en undersökning av frekvensen mundelsskador hos Fjädermygglarver i Skellefteälven. Syftet med undersökningen är att få en inblick i hur exponerade Fjädermygglarver i dagsläget är för miljögifter i Larvae from the non-biting midge family Chironomidae have previously been demonstrated to be sensitive to environmental pollution in aquatic environments. Exposure to different contaminants has resulted in an increasing occurrence of deformities of the mouthparts in the larvae. Common pollutions which induce mouthpart deformitys are metals (such as Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu, Hg, Cr, Ni), pesticides and some

Under lång tid fanns inte någon specialreglering i svensk rätt gällande skadeståndsansvaret vid dammhaverier. I juli 1997 infördes en lag som förändrade detta och pekade ut ansvarssubjekt med ett rent strikt ansvar. Den underhållsskyldige för en dammanläggning innehar ett strikt ansvar för de skador som uppstår nedströms till följd av ett dammhaveri enligt 11 kap. 18 § miljöbalken. UnderhållsskylFor a long time, there was no regulation of the indemnity liability for dam failures in Sweden. In July 1997 a new law brought a change to this and clarified which liable entity was strictly liable for damages. The entity responsible for maintaining the dam bears a strict liability for all damages arising downstream as a consequence of a dam failure according to chapter 11 paragraph 18 in the Swe

Popular science summary As the climate warms and species move northwards, some species encounter populations of a similar species. In this case, the banded demoiselle damselfly Calopteryx splendens is moving north, further into Fennoscandia than it has been known to go before, and is meeting populations of the beautiful demoiselle damselfly Calopteryx virgo. Males of both species set up and defen

Global exploration and production of minerals is increasingly located in areas populated by indigenous people. Conflicts that arise between multinational corporations and local activists and/or indigenous people are widespread while the understanding of such issues are still lacking. The Swedish government encouraging an expanding mining industry have caused great resistance, particularly due to t

Current advances in Deep Learning have shown significant improvements in common Machine Learning applications such as image, speech and text recognition. Specifically, in order to process time series, deep Neural Networks (NNs) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units are widely used in sequence recognition problems to store recent information and to use it for future predictions. The efficiency i

The demand for high data rates in a wireless communication system has experienced a remarkable growth over the last years. This demand is continually increasing with the growing number of wirelessly connected devices. Thus, there is a continuing hunt for increasing the data transmission rate in wireless communication systems. To increase the data rate, the modern wireless communication system cann

The construction sector is one of the biggest contributors to global CO2 emissions and buildings account for a significant part of the energy use in Sweden. Population growth in combination with economic development is putting more pressure on the environment, resulting in escalating consumption trends and larger quantities of raw material extraction. Policies and directives are promoting a circul

Även om terrorism utgör ett växande problem kan få presentera en precis och heltäckande förklaring av dess innebörd. I en internationell såväl som akademisk kontext råder oenighet om vilka handlingar som bör omfattas. I svensk straffrätt saknas likaså en definition av begreppet; istället straffbeläggs ett stort antal terroristhandlingar under skilda brottstyper. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vadAlthough terrorism poses a growing threat, few can present a precise and all encompassing definition of the term. Internationally, as well as academically, there is disagreement about which acts should be subjected by the term. Swedish criminal law similarly lacks a definition; instead numerous terrorist acts are criminalized under separate forms of crimes. The purpose of this essay is to investi

I tider av instabilitet och snabba förändringar krävs det av organisationer att snabbt kunna ställa om till nya förutsättningar för att kunna säkra sin överlevnad. Kreativitet har föreslagits vara en viktig komponent för att kunna göra detta möjligt. För att kreativitet ska kunna blomstra på arbetsplatser krävs det att vissa förutsättningar är uppfyllda. I denna studie var syftet att ta reda på omIn times of uncertainty and rapid changes it is crucial for organizations to be able to adjust to new circumstances in order to secure their survival. Creativity has been suggested as an important component in making this possible. In order for creativity to flourish in the workplace certain conditions need to be met. In this study the aim was to find out whether group personality, aggregated indi

Preterm birth is a leading cause for birth complications and neonatal mortality in the world. It remains difficult to predict whether a preterm birth will occur, which hinders the possible use of prevention treatments. This thesis investigates the use of machine learning models in the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth. In addition, possible heterogeneous performance of these models among dif
