While only about 30% of California's usable water storage capacity lies at higher elevations, high-elevation (above 300 m) hydropower units generate, on average, 74% of California's in-state hydroelectricity. In general, high-elevation plants have small man-made reservoirs and rely mainly on snowpack. Their low built-in storage capacity is a concern with regard to climate warming. Snowmelt is expe
Background: More than half of all new HIV infections in sub-Saharan African countries, including Uganda, occur among young people between the ages of 15 and 24, the most sexually active period of their lives. Understanding the contextual determinants of sexual behavior in this group is crucial in combating the pandemic. Aim: The overall aim of this study was to assess the impact of demographic, r
Särskilda regler för beskattning av fåmansföretag infördes genom skattereformen 1990-91 i syfte att motverka inkomstomvandling. Numera återfinns regleringen i 57 kap. IL och i 57 kap. 5 § IL stadgas utomståenderegeln. Utomståenderegelns tillämplighet medför att andelsägare i fåmansföretag inte träffas av regleringen i 57 kap. IL utan beskattning sker istället enligt de generella reglerna för inkomIn 1990-91, specific rules for the taxation of close companies were introduced through the tax reform with the purpose of counteracting conversion of income. Taxation of close companies are nowadays regulated through the 57th chapter of the income tax act and the outsider rule is stated in the fifth paragraph of the same chapter. If the outsider rule is applicable the shareholders are not taxed ac
Bakgrund: Evidensbaserad vård har visat sig ha positiva effekter för både patienter och organisationen, och är ett väl genomforskat ämne i bland annat sjukhuskontext. Det finns barriärer relaterat till dess implementation som utgörs av exempelvis brist på tid, resurser och kunskap. Evidensbaserad vård inom ambulanssjukvård är dock inte lika väl undersökt, vilket understryker ett behov av en utforsBackground: Evidence-based practice is proven to have positive effects for both patients and organizations, and is a well-researched subject in intrahospital and primary care settings. There are however barriers pertaining to its implementation in the form of, for example, lack of time, resources, and knowledge. Evidence-based practice in the ambulance service context is, however, not nearly as we
In today’s world of ever increasing competitiveness, solutions that include automation and smart production have become a vital part to consider in overall business strategy, specifically for the industry sector. Whether an automated production process will be beneficial or not is dictated by how sub-processes such as interproduction transportation operates. The importance of these processes has b
När den enskilda överklagar ett förvaltningsbeslut står den ofta som ensam motpart i rätten mot myndighetens processjurister. För att den enskilde ska kunna ta till vara på sin rätt och obalansen inte ska bli oskäligt stor mellan parterna har domaren lagstadgade möjligheter att påverka processen så att den enskildes rätt tas tillvara. Denna uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om en sådan ordning kan
Fram till för några decennier sedan, innan ordförande Maos död, var Kina avstängt från resten av världen. Idag är Kina världens näst största ekonomi och en mycket attraktiv destination för utländska investeringar. Medan denna ekonomiska explosion har medfört enorm teknikutveckling för Kina, har vissa observatörer påstått att dessa framsteg har kommit genom det som kallas "tvångsöverföring av Up until a few decades ago, before the death of Chairman Mao, China was closed off from the rest of the world. Today, China is the second largest economy in the world and a very attractive destination for foreign investment. While this economic explosion has brought with it tremendous advancement in technology for China, some observers have alleged that these advancements have come through what is
Uppsatsen studerar problematiken mellan TDM och upphovsrättsligt skyddade verk. Genom teknisk utveckling används TDM mer. Det används bland annat för automatiserade beslut i myndigheter och inom modebranschen för att hitta liknelser i olika klädesplagg. Detta eftersom TDM kan identifiera samband och strukturer i stora datamängder. Processen för TDM innebär att den data som matas in kopieras. Om deThe essay studies the problem between text and data mining (TDM) and copyrighted works. Through technological development, TDM is used, among other things, to make automated decisions in the authorities and in the fashion industry as tools that find similarities between different garments. TDM is used in these fields because it can identify connections and structures in large volumes of data. The
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to provide the reader with insights regarding what Syrian highly-educated immigrants (HEI) in Sweden think are the underlying prerequisites and actions needed to facilitate their entrance into the Swedish job market. Key Research Question: What are the key requirements needed to expedite the employment of HEI in the Swedish job market, and take up relevant jo
Landskapet Dalarna i södra centrala Sverige uppvisar en stor variation av kvartärgeologiska sediment och landformer, bildade från deglaciationen i tidig Holocen och senare. Ett speciellt deglaciationsmönster, tillsammans med unika hydrologiska förhållanden, har lämnat utrymme för spekulationer över paleo-miljömässiga förhållandena under det tidiga Holocen. Siljanbassängen, belägen i det södra randThe Dalarna province in south-central Sweden shows a great variety of geological evidence from the Late Quaternary. A peculiar deglaciation pattern, along with unique hydrological conditions, has left a lot of space for speculations over the palaeoenvironmental conditions during the early Holocene. Lake Siljan is in the southern perimeter of the Siljan impact structure, the most prominent in Europ
In many cases different projects encounter unexpected problems, even though careful planning has been done. In most situations it is possible to derive problems from a lack of communication. This study is done by reviewing structures in an organization in order to investigate why problems in communication arise. The study tries to identify methods that are believed to help minimize the errors. Th
Det teoretiska ramverket för studie var GLOBE-studien, Hofstedes fyra dimensioner och Sveningssons och Alvessons förhållningssätt till ledarskap. Syftet var att undersöka den personliga upplevelsen hos Svenska ledare. Fokus var på hur kulturella faktorer påverkade ledarskapet när ledarna arbetade med ett utländskt team. Sex svenska ledare som hade arbetat med utländska team i USA, Indien, Tyskland
Domstolens bevisvärdering, att värdera fakta i ett mål, är ett av de mest väsentliga momenten inom rättsskipningen. Bevisvärderingen regleras huvudsakligen genom den fria bevisprövningens princip i 35 kap. 1 § BrB. Bestämmelsen är utformad som en generalklausul och lämnar ett relativt stort spelrum för hur domstolen ska genomföra sin bevisvärdering. Våldtäkt regleras i 6 kap. 1 § BrB och är ett The Courts assessment of the evidence, to evaluate facts in a case, is one of the most essential steps in the administration of justice. The assessment of evidence is regulated mainly by the ”free proof of principle trial” in chapter 35 § 1 of the Code of Judicial Procedure . The regulation is designed as a general clause, leaving a relatively large scope for the Court to implement its assessment
When building below ground level in cities the regulations regarding deformations of surrounding soil are very strict. When using conventional methods of calculation it is difficult to predict the occurring deformations. This is why it has become more common to use FE-modeling to determine deformations. With FE-modelling it is possible to take the interactions between soil and construction into co
Ocean acidification is a consequence of the anthropogenic release of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. When CO2 is dissolved in water it affects the composition of ions and lowers the pH of the water. As the partial CO2 pressure in the atmosphere increases a new balance is reached with the surface waters which causes the pH of the surface oceans to decrease. For small shallow seas this effec
Med en Business Intelligence (BI)-marknad som blir allt större och mer svåröverskådlig blir det viktigare att företagen som ska köpa in BI-verktyg vet vad de behöver. Men vilka faktorer spelar egentligen in när företag ska välja den här typen av system? För att kunna besvara denna fråga har vi genomfört en undersökning där fem stora tillverkande företag intervjuats via telefon. Intervjuerna genomfAs the Business Intelligence (BI) market is growing, and thus becoming harder to grasp, there is an increasing need for companies to know what they require when purchasing a system within this field. The question becomes, what factors are important when companies choose this type of system? In order to answer this, a study was conducted in which five large manufacturing companies were interviewed.
The demand for biofuels is increasing as a result of increased climate mitigation ambitions aiming to replace the use of fossil fuels. To meet the increasing demand, energy crops grown on agricultural land used to produce biofuels is getting more and more attention. Since agricultural land is a scarce resource, conflicts can arise between food production and biomass for biofuels, making it essenti
In this paper, the prediction accuracy of the PHS (predicted heat strain) model on human physiological responses while wearing protective clothing ensembles was examined. Six human subjects (aged 29 ± 3 years) underwent three experimental trials in three different protective garments (clothing thermal insulation Icl ranges from 0.63 to 2.01 clo) in two hot environments (40 °C, relative humidities:
