Popular Abstract in Swedish Energianvändningen i världen måste minska drastiskt inom en snar framtid för att därmed minska utsläppen av växthusgaser och bromsa klimatförändringarna. Energi och handlande med energikällor har även blivit nationella säkerhetsfrågor. Inom Europeiska Unionen används ungefär 40% av den totala energianvändningen i byggnader, vilket innebär ungefär 36% av det totala koldiThe use of energy is a major global issue both according to climate changes but also in the aspect of national safety tied to the trade with energy sources. Of the total energy use in the member states of the European Union, about 40% is used in residential and commercial buildings. Passive houses are one way to reduce the energy use in buildings and at the same time keep a good indoor comfort. Th

Background: The rate of biological ageing is individual and represents the steady decrease in physiological and mental functions. Adverse social factors have been shown to influence this process. Self-perceived early ageing (SEA) might be a useful indicator of early biological ageing and increased mortality risk. The aim of this population-based study was to identify markers of SEA, including telo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cirka hälften av dödsfallen i västvärlden orsakas av hjärt-kärlsjukdomar såsom hjärtinfarkt, kärlkramp och stroke. En gemensam nämnare för dessa är den bakomliggande sjukdomen ateroskleros (åderförkalkning eller åderförfettning). Ateroskleros är en inflammatorisk sjukdom, som leder till förträngningar (plack) av blodkärl. En orsak till detta är att blodfetter fas

The Swedish hydropower industry operates a large number of power plants and dams geographically spread over the country. The level of safety of a specific dam is to a large extent determined during the design and construction phases that in the case of Swedish hydropower plants took place several decades ago. Condition monitoring of concrete dams, or hydropower concrete structures, has until recen

The current state of our environment is alarming. Increasing natural disasters worldwide and rising pollution levels made a conventional economic growth model illogical to abide by. Alternative growth models are of actuality, with the Green Economy being the most popular. Defined by UNEP (2011) as a “low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive” economy (p.9), it raises interest among the

Many studies on how to encourage pro-environmental behaviour have been done. However, they have tended to focus on individual behaviour in isolation of social interactions despite increasing scepticism about the effectiveness of this approach in promoting the necessary transition toward a more sustainable society. Such a transition constitutes a central part of the transformational mode of sustain

När en ventilationskanal går igenom en ljudklassad vägg kommer reduktionstalet för skiljekonstruktionen att försämras då ljud kan överföras från det ena till det andra rummet via ventilationskanalen. För att förhindra en försämring av skiljekonstruktionens reduktionstal, vilket är syftet med den här studien, kan flertalet åtgärder tillämpas på kanalen. Tre ljudklassade väggar kombinerades med tre When a ventilation duct passes through a sound-classified wall, the sound reduction index for the combined wall will deteriorate as sound can be transmitted from one room to another via the ventilation duct. In order to prevent a deterioration of the sound reduction index, which is the purpose of the report, several measures can be applied to the duct. Three sound-classified walls are combined wit

This thesis aims to look into how some social workers in Sweden view their work with youths having sex for compensation with regards to the feminist ideas that the law on buying sex expresses. Swedish studies have shown that most of the youths having sex for compensation started when they were 13-14 years old. Previous literature and studies state that youths having sex for compensation often have

Personal på sjukhusavdelningar upplever ett antal problem kopplade till administrativa uppgifter. Bland dessa problem ingår att behöva dokumentera samma information i flera system, samt svårigheter vid överlämningar mellan skift. Den nuvarande produkten Pulstavlan, utvecklad av Stretch Care AB, har som mål att lösa dessa problem. Pulstavlan är dock stationär och möjliggör därför inte för vårdpersoStaff in hospital wards experience a number of issues related to administrative tasks. These problems include needing to document the same information in multiple systems, and difficulties in shift handovers between staff members. The existing product Pulstavlan, developed by Stretch Care AB, aims to solve these issues. However, as the product is stationary, it does not enable staff to bring the i

Delningsekonomins framväxt under de senaste decennierna är en effekt av digitaliseringen, vilket har fört med sig att arbete via digitala plattformar har tagit plats på arbetsmarknaden.

Platform work can look different in many ways depending on the platform's business model and this development has led the platform's workers to be in a position where it is uncle

Individspecifik bildanalys och beräkningsmodell av läkande hälsena Hälsenan är den största senan i kroppen och hälseneruptur är en av de vanligaste sen- skadorna. Efter en ruptur läker senan med en ärrad vävnad och återfår inte sin intakta struktur. Detta innebär en stor risk för att hälsenan inte återfår sin funktion.

A torn Achilles tendon will likely not regain its original function, and it is unknown what treatment options are optimal. The Achilles tendon structure and how the tendon heals after a rupture varies between humans. A potentially useful tool in understanding

Uppehållstillstånd i Sverige kan ges bl.a. på grund av familjeanknytning. Ett av de grundläggande kraven för att uppehållstillstånd på grund av familjeanknytning ska beviljas är kravet på styrkt identitet.

Antal fordon i trafiken börjar bli allt fler och fler. Detta leder till att vägar behöver underhållas emellanåt. För att åtgärda vägarna så krävs det vägarbetare på plats, 90% av dessa vägarbetare känner oro dagligen på sitt jobb. Anledningen till deras oro är att många trafikanter inte tar någon hänsyn till vägarbetare, de kör aggressivt, hänsynslöst och över hastighetsgränsen. Under åren 2003-20The number of vehicles in traffic is increasing. This means that roads need to be maintained regularly. To repair the roads, road workers are required on site. Ninety percent of these road workers feel anxious daily at their work. The reason for their concern is that many road users do not pay any attention to road workers, they drive aggressively, ruthlessly and over the speed limit. During the y

Omkring 20 procent av alla människor världen över (1,5 miljarder) har inte ett officiellt, juridiskt dokument som bevis på sin identitet. Detta påverkar till exempel deras rösträtt, att öppna ett bankkonto, få formell anställning eller söka juridisk ersättning. Deras brist på bevis på juridisk existens exkluderar dem alltså från att delta på samtliga nivåer i samhället. Denna omfattande problematiAround 20% of all people worldwide (1.5 billion) do not have an official and legally recognized document as proof of their identity.

Recent international efforts to tackle such illicit trade in conflict minerals has focused on requiring relevant stakeholders involved in the mineral sourc

The purpose of the thesis is to analyse the EU’s and CJEU’s approach towards exit taxes by finding guidance on how the exit tax rules shall be made to be considered as compatible with the requirements of EU law. The EU law’s presumption of establishing an internal market without boundaries at the frontiers prohibits national measures which hinder, inter alia, the market access. Therefore, the EU’s
