The Swedish government has set the goal of achieving carbon-neutrality by 2045. The production of cement currently accounts for 8% of CO2 emissions worldwide, with a similar figure also true of Sweden. A clear government strategy is therefore needed to work with and provide support to the cement industry for decarbonisation. The most developed pathway for cement decarbonisation in the literature i

An investigation has been done in order increase the understanding of the origin and chemical evolution of copper in the Milky Way stellar disks. This is interesting to know as it plays a part of the Galaxy puzzle, so we become more able to map how and why galaxies look like they do. The atmosphere of a star keeps information about how elemental abundant the Universe was at the time and place of

Barnagaförbudet i svensk rätt innebär ett absolut skydd för barn att leva ett liv fritt från övergrepp. Förbudet präglas av principen om barnets bästa. Barnagaförbudet innebär däremot inte att alla typer av övergrepp mot barn är sanktionerade med straff. En grupp som riskerar att falla utanför svensk straffbestämmelse är de barn som utsätts för våld i hemmet utan att det lämnar synliga spår. BrottThe Swedish law against child violence implies an absolute prevention for children against abuse. The best interest of the child is paramount in the law. However, all forms of violence against children are not subject to criminal liability. This includes children that are subject to domestic violence in other forms than physical abuse. The offense of abuse against a child according to Swedish law,

Reaching consensus about sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) has never been easy on the international arena. The United Nations Population Fund and several women rights movements across the world are the leading actors in promoting SRHR. At the same time as progress for world with a universal implementation is being made, oppositional forces against SRHR are on the rise. The focus of

Framväxten av elektronisk handel under 1990-talet ansågs av både OECD och EU skapa såväl förutsättningar för stora vinster för företag som stora utmaningar för skattemyndigheterna. Till sin natur är elektronisk handeln global, omedelbar, utan traditionella gränser och genomförs med relativ anonymitet . Dessa aspekter innebär svårigheter för ett traditionellt skattesystem. Enligt sjätte mervärdesskThe emergence of electronic commerce in the 1990's was acknowledged by both the OECD and the EU to bring about prospects of great profits for businesses as well as huge challenges for fiscal authorities. By its very nature, electronic commerce is global, instantaneous, without traditional borders and conducted with relative anonymity. These aspects make it difficult for a traditional tax syste

This thesis presents the work I did for the inclusive search for anomalous production of same charge lepton-pairs, originating from the collision point, at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using the 2012 data. I optimized the selection criteria for isolated electrons and muons, calculated the so-called "fake factors" and "fake factor" systematic uncertainties

DPM is a manufacturing company within the metal cutting industry. A number of years ago there emerged a desire to make statistical calculations for its production. Until today, the company has not done any post-calculations, which means that they have based their cost calculations and sales prices on precalculated costs. The absence of post-calculations leads to lack of cost-consciousness that is

In December 2014 the requirement increased on pre-packed food labelling when the regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 entered into force. Two important changes were that allergen information must be emphasised in the ingredients list and a minimum font size must be used for the obligatory information on food labels. It´s crucial that grocery stores follow the food legislation, so that consumers and especi

Background This study was conducted at a business unit at the Company, a leading global consumer goods company based in Europe, working in an increasingly hostile environment due to market deregulation and international competition. The business unit was recently separated from previously being integrated in other units and now have high targets to meet. To reach these targets, the rate of innovat

The risk of pluvial flooding is going to increase as climate change causes an increase in intense precipitation along with urbanisation leading to an increase in impermeable surfaces. In the last decade, cities such as Malmö and Copenhagen have already experienced severe pluvial flooding that has caused extensive damage. Adapting to climate change by creating flood resilient urban areas is therefo

Digitaliseringen har revolutionerat våra samhällen. Hur vi kommunicerar och interagerar med varandra och hur vi handlar produkter och tjänster har över de senaste åren varit föremål för drastiska förändringar. Bakom dessa förändringar står ett fåtal digitala jättar. Trots att förändringarna har ökat konsumentvälfärden och i regel varit positiva, har farhågor lyfts. Detta har inte minst uppmärksammDigitalization has revolutionized our societies. How we communicate and interact with one another and how we purchase goods and services has changed drastically. A select few technological giants are the driving force behind these changes. Despite the increase in consumer welfare and the overall heightened standard of living, concerns have been raised, especially within the discourse of competitio

Background: The world is facing global warming because of excessive release of greenhouse gases. The Science Based Target Initiative encourages companies to do their fair share in limiting the temperature increase to 2 degrees above preindustrial temperatures. This is called setting science-based targets. Little research has been made on the target setting process and there are few practical examp

One of the characteristic features of Indian society is its complex caste system which ranks people into hereditary groups. Most importantly, the foundation of caste association was based on the occupation of each group. And the lowest group within this system have historically been excluded and exploited due to their assigned caste-based occupations. Despite implementing affirmative action polici

The purpose of this paper was to investigate whether EQ-5D is a valid measure of Health Related Quality of Life of psoriasis patients. The objective was carried out by investigating the correlation between the EuroQol EQ-5D and two other Health Related Quality of Life measures, Dermatology Life Quality Index and a Visual Analogue Scale assessed by the patient, as well as two clinical outcome measu

Det finns två krav som ska tas i beaktande när olika metoder mot skatteflykt utformas, rättssäkerhet och effektivitet. Sambandet mellan legalitetsprincipen och rättssäkerheten är starkt. Legalitetsprincipen sägs ha uppkommit för att rättstillämpningen ska vara förutsebar och fri från godtycke. Dessa två värden är en stor del av rättssäkerhetsbegreppet och det sägs därför att legalitetsprincipen ärThere are two requirements that must be considered when different methods against Tax Evasion are being designed, the rule of law and efficiency. The relationship between the principle of legality and the rule of law is strong. The principle of legality is said to have incurred in order to make the legal purpose predictable and free from arbitrariness. These two components are a big part of the ru

In Sweden opinions are strongly divided on the issue of integration. In a study from 2007 four parallel discourses on integration in the Swedish debate were identified. They are labeled the liberal-, the social democratic-, the structural discrimination discourse and finally a discourse of assimilation. A fifth is discussed briefly – the critical humanist position. In this report I take a closer l

Motivated by the rising importance of today’s environmental issues and more specifically the role of energy conservation policies, the current study investigates the Granger causal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth in eight European countries. Using a large dataset that overall spans from 1800-2009 the study employs the Toda-Yamamoto procedure and cointegration analysis w

In August 2007 we went to New Zealand for a placement at Child Youth and Family Services. There our interest in Family Group Conferences (FGC) took off. FGC is not near as common in Sweden as in New Zealand. Therefore the purpose of this study was to examine how the Social Services in Helsingborg and Höör in Sweden and Belfast in Northern Ireland work with FGC. We had the privilege to go to Belfas
