Utvecklingen av samhällsfastigheter har under de senaste åren gått från att vara en kommunal angelägenhet till något som allt fler aktörer fått upp ögonen för. Ett stort behov av skolplatser och särskilda boenden för äldre har inneburit att flera svenska kommuner avyttrat sin mark till både privata och kommunala bolag som får stå för utvecklingen av morgondagens skolor och äldreboenden. FörsäljninIn recent years, the development of properties for public use has gone from being only a municipal matter to a segment with an increasing number of stakeholders. A rising need for school facilities and residential care homes has resulted Swedish municipalities divesting properties to private or public companies. The sale of land own by municipalities shall be made to a market value according to th

This master thesis project was performed in collaboration with Johnson Matthey. Johnson Matthey is a worldwide company working with sustainable technologies. The site in Perstorp, where this work was performed, focus on formaldehyde production. In order to continuously improve chemical processes, simulation and modeling are advantageous tools. They can give a better understanding of the processes

Investeringar i transportinfrastruktur medför normalt bättre tillgänglighet, bättre läge, eventuellt ökad byggrätt och en ökning av värdet på de fastigheter som är belägna i närheten av den infrastruktur som anläggs. Värdeökningar som uppstår till följd av offentliga investeringar bör genom värdeåterföring ges tillbaka till det offentliga. En värdeåterföringsmetod är medfinansieringsersättning somInvestments in infrastructure normally lead to better accessibility, a better location, increased building rights and an increase in the value of the properties that are located near to the infrastructure. Increases in value that arise as a result of public investments should be returned to the public sector through value capture. A value capture method is co-financing compensation which according

Background and objectives: The transdiagnostic approach states that mental disorders share common psychopathological processes which are expressed in disorder-specific ways.

The phenomenon of global warming has become a fact, however; the uncertainty is about the magnitude and acceleration of its manifestations. Global mean sea level rise is one of the results induced by global warming and is happening with an undetectable accelerated pace. The world international organizations and governments are devoting efforts and initiatives in a trial to manage global warming in

As requirements regarding energy efficiency are getting tougher, buildings in the arctic, as well as the rest of the world, need to be more energy efficient without compromising a good indoor climate. This article presents measured moisture supply and occupancy level in a Swedish arctic multi-family apartment block. Measurements were done over 1 year every 30 minutes in a building consisting of 51

he present research examines the impact of temporal distance on moral concerns in situations where selfish motives clash with altruistic considerations. Drawing upon Construal Level Theory (Trope & Liberman, 2003) which posits that abstract, high-level features of events and social values take on more weight with greater temporal distance, we hypothesized that moral concerns should be higher f

In 1979 the Sandinista movement revolted against the Somoza dictatorship and seized power in Nicaragua.

The political support and the flow of financial aid were continuous despite changes of government, internal

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka ångests påverkan på uppmärksamhet. Deltagare med högt skattad ångest förväntades skilja sig åt från deltagare med lågt skattad ångest gällande deras uppmärksamhet. Deltagare förväntades skapa ett implicit minne för kombinationen av ansikten som presenterades för dem i experimentet. Ett modifierat dote probe test användes för att undersöka vad försöksperThe purpose of this study was to examine attentional biases in anxiety. Participants with high self-rated anxiety were predicted to differ in their attention compared to participants with low self-rated anxiety. Participants were predicted to have an implicit memory for the combination of faces that were used in the study. A modified dot probe task was used to examine high and low social and/or tr

Uppsatsen behandlar i huvudsak kreditvärderingsinstitutens auktoritära roll på kreditmarknaderna samt hur lagstiftarens inkorporering av kreditvärderingsbetyg har påverkat det finansiella systemet. Målet är att pragmatiskt granska lagstiftarens motiv med inkorporering av kreditvärderingsbetyg i kapitaltäckningsregelverket samt att föreslå möjliga förändringar i de fall brister anses föreligga. SyfThis thesis deals with the role of rating agencies as authorities in the debt markets; and how the legislature's incorporation of credit ratings has affected the financial system. The goal is to pragmatically examine legislator's motives when incorporating the use of credit rating opinions in capital adequacy regulations; also to propose possible changes in case of insufficiencies. The aim

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka utvecklingen av efterlevande makes arvsrätt i Finland och Sverige under 1900-talet, med fokus på argumentationen bakom den. De är två länder med nära historiskt, samhälleligt och kulturellt samband, vilket gör rättshistorien och jämförelsen intressant. Utvecklingen startade från att makarna inte hade någon arvsrätt alls i länderna och gick hand i hand ända fram tiThe purpose of this paper is to study how the surviving spouse’s inheritance rights in case of death of the other spouse have developed during the twentieth century in Finland and Sweden. The focus will be on the arguments behind the legislations and how they developed during the reforms over the years, and how they differ, or don’t, between the two countries.

This study explores how a contemporary systemic shift regarding secrecy and intelligence is affecting the strategic performance of states engaged in overt or covert intervention. These changes are conceptualized by researchers as “implausible deniability”, “delayed disclosure” and “the democratization of intelligence” and their significance are applied to limited-war theory with a theoretical focu

The transition from animal-based to plant-based proteins is rapidly increasing because of different concerns about meat consumption, some being the nutritional and environmental effects of meat consumption. During this transition, there needs to be a holistic approach to assessing plant-based food. This master thesis is focused on investigating the nutritional and environmental impact of three pla

In this study, cancer patients' characteristics associated with death in nursing homes were explored. The study sample included 395 cancer patients who had participated in a trial of palliative care, 260 ( 66%) patients died in hospital, 80 (20%) at home and 55 (14%) in nursing homes. Health-related quality of life was prospectively recorded using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Death in nursing

G.fast is a new standard from the International Telecommunication Union, which targets 1 Gb/s over short copper loops using frequencies up to 212 MHz. This new technology requires accurate parametric cable models for simulation, design, and performance evaluation tests. Some existing copper cable models were designed for the very high speed digital subscriber line spectra, i.e., frequencies up to
