The purpose of this thesis was to explore the Swedish pharmacy market and the potential influence different levels of legal pressure have on sustainability reporting. Interviews with pharmacy representatives and document analysis of sustainability reports and policies were combined, grounded in a constructivist perspective to analyze incentives for sustainability reporting. The data collected was
The main purpose of this thesis is to evaluate two current methods, Brokontrollen and TungTransport, used in Sweden for analysing heavy transport on existing bridges. It was investigated how the two methods compare, how bridge types affect the differences, if other variables impact the results and how, and if the methods can be improved. To answer these questions, first, a set of vehicles (which w
M&As are a commonly used growth strategy in the corporate world. Therefore, a considerable amount of research exists on its value-creating properties. This study's objective is to extend the existing literature by examining stock price changes searching for possible abnormal returns but also information leakage of the acquiring firms in the Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway) over t
Around the world the rise of populist and anti-globalization forces can be seen. In Sweden this movement is prevalent as well, as the populist party the Sweden Democrats is experiencing a substantial increase in support. The reason for this is a widely debated subject amongst scholars. One potential explanation for the rise of populism could be the increased imports from China in recent years. Pre
The regulatory roles of temperature, eutrophication and oxygen availability on benthic nitrogen (N) cycling and the stoichiometry of regenerated nitrogen and phosphorus (P) were explored along a Baltic Sea estuary affected by treated sewage discharge. Rates of sediment denitrification, anammox, dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA), nutrient exchange, oxygen (O-2) uptake and penetrati
The landscape matrix is suggested to influence the effect of habitat fragmentation on species richness, but the generality of this prediction has not been tested. Here, we used data from 10 independent studies on butterfly species richness, where the matrix surrounding grassland patches was dominated by either forest or arable land to test if matrix land use influenced the response of species rich
Using in situ surface-sensitive electron microscopy performed in real time, we show that the dynamics of micron-sized Ga droplets on Ga P(111) can be manipulated locally using Au nanoparticles. Detailed measurements of structure and dynamics of the surface from microns to atomic scale are done using both surface electron and scanning probe microscopies. Imaging is done simultaneously on areas with
BACKGROUND: EUROCAT is a network of population-based congenital anomaly registries providing standardized epidemiologic information on congenital anomalies in Europe. There are three types of EUROCAT membership: full, associate, or affiliate. Full member registries send individual records of all congenital anomalies covered by their region. Associate members transmit aggregate case counts for each
The purpose of this study was to examine how the personnel of the Employment Office in Malmoe interpret the emotional situation and health of unemployed individuals. We also wanted to examine if and how the personnel work with these aspects. In relation to this we found it very interesting how the personnel dealt with the responsibilities of power, hierarchy and how subordination afflicts the unem
The aim of this study is to examine the spillover effects of diversity in insect pollinated plants in the vicinity of semi-natural grasslands, if the biodiversity in plants is increased as a result of being close to pastures and if a local environmental support has an effect on its surroundings. As agricultural intensification reduces biodiversity and contributes to habitat degradation, studies on
Ellstorp housing cooperative has long had problems with household waste not being properly recycled and bulky refuse not being left in designated areas, leading to overfilled bins and chaotic recycling rooms. In this study, an investigation was carried out among the residents in Ellstorp, using a survey handed out to all residents and group interviews with volunteering residents and the board of t
I Sverige är ägarförbehåll vanligt förekommande i handeln med kapitalvaror eftersom det är ett enkelt och billigt sätt för säljaren att få säkerhet för sin köpeskilling vid kreditköp. Den här uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka möjlighet-erna för en ägare av en näringsverksamhet att med sakrättslig giltighet förbehålla sig äganderätten till verksamheten vid försäljning av densamma. En överlåtelsIn the market of capital goods, a retention of title clause is a common and easy way for a creditor to get security for the payment. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the possibilities for a seller of a business to use a retention of title clause, and get indefeasible protection, when he or she sells the business. A transfer of a business is often associated with long preparations and
Regeringens rätt att besluta om så kallad ex gratia-ersättning är ett sällan diskuterat inslag i ersättningsrätten. Med ex gratia-ersättning avses främst ersättning som utgår utan att staten svarar för skadan enligt gällande rätt. Varken regeringens rätt att bevilja sådan ersättning eller ordningen för sådan ersättning är lagreglerad, vilket framstår som främmande för den svenska rättsordningen. The government’s right to decide on so-called ex gratia compensation is a rarely discussed element in the Swedish law of tort. Ex gratia compensation mainly refers to compensation given by the government without governmental legal liability to do so. Neither the right of the government to grant such compensation nor the order of such compensation is regulated by law, which appears foreign to the S
Because of the industrialization in the late 19th century the amount of waste from private individuals and industries rose steadily as the standard of living improved and consumption grew. Consequently several landfills where everything from household garbage and construction waste, industrial waste and chemicals was deposited developed in each municipality. When legislation concerning landfills g
Hiphop is a culture that has grown among youth the last decades. Its based of four elements: breakdance, graffiti, djing and rap and each of these have their own way to express position, social status, power and identity. I want to know more what Swedish hip-hop stands for among rappers and producers. Goal: The goal is to get insight of what hip-hop means for the rappers and how they use hip-hop
Skogsbruket är viktigt för svenskt näringsliv och står för ungefär 20 % av Sveriges totala export. Efterfrågan på virke blir därmed stor vilket resulterar i att avverkning sker ständigt, året om, på all typ av mark under alla olika sorters väderförhållanden. Ett stort problem inom skogsbruket är de markskador som ofta uppstår efter en slutförd avverkning. Markskador ändrar markens textur och egensForestry is important for Swedish industry and accounts for 20% of Sweden’s total export. The endless demand of wood results in logging all year round, but other aspects have to be taken into consideration. The ecology, forest recreation and the outdoor activities that the forest is providing is very important to preserve. A major problem in forestry is the soil damage after a successful harvest.
The aim of this study was to investigate if spatial planning is a opportunity for social sustainability in the district Rosengard in Malmo. Rosengard was included in the so called million-program, which was intended to solve the housing crisis. The results of this spatial planning made Rosengard, and many other areas included in this program, segregated areas with social problems. The questions t
This thesis discusses a rather contentious issue of how copyright law possesses musical works nowadays. It is essentially argued in the thesis that current copyright law appears to be too restrictive, leaving not enough space for creativity in the musical world. In this regard, the issue related to musical works are mainly analysed through the prism of the idea-expression dichotomy. One of the gen
We analyze the Ce3+-Pr3+:Y2SiO5 emission spectra obtained under selective excitation of the two Ce3+ sites in Y2SiO5 and we show clear evidence of direct energy transfer from Ce3+ to Pr3+. Energy transfer microparameters were calculated from the experimental spectral overlap between the Ce3+ emission and the Pr3+ and Eu3+ absorptions from which, the transfer mechanisms Ce3+-> Pr3+ are concluded to
