Från ord till handling i miljömålsarbetet – Utmaningar och möjligheter för mindre kommuner Klimatet är vår tids stora ödesfråga och en hållbar utveckling av samhället är ett måste för att hantera den. För att en sådan omställning ska bli så effektiv som möjligt måste aktörer på alla nivåer av samhället bidra. Det här arbetet handlar om hinder som måste övervinnas på den kommunala nivån. StändigaIn Sweden, environmental policy is carried out through a system of environmental objectives adopted by Parliament in 1999. Although not without its’ shortcomings, this system provides a solid ground for increased efficiency and improved prioritisation in environmental policy. This master's thesis examines which challenges face smaller (in terms of population) municipalities when designing and

A mysterious gene found in many bacteria Recently, a gene called ctaM was discovered in Staphylococcus aureus, a common cause of skin infections etc., required for the bacterium to respire efficiently. It was demonstrated that the protein encoded by this gene is essential for the function of cytochrome aa3, that catalyzes the reduction of O2 to form H2O in respiration. A gene encoding a similar p

International studies suggest that transgender prisoners are a conundrum for the prison and probation systems when it comes to both management and housing, are at risk of victimization by both inmates and prison staff and that this might impact on transgender inmates’ gender expression or gender identification. There are no studies on transgender inmates’ contact with the Swedish prison and probat

The aim of this master’s thesis is to explore the interplay of commitment and empty labour in two widely different organisations. Empty labour can be described as when you are doing anything else than your official working tasks. Commitment on the other hand is how and in what way you feel obligated to the organisation, your boss, your colleagues’ etcetera. Depending on several factors such as col

Purpose: This thesis delves into whether acquisition experience is both a valid indicator of increased acquirer returns and leads to participating at certain points during an M&A wave through examining the differences between active and inactive acquirers. This study seeks to provide further understanding of acquisitions during M&A waves with particular interest focused on domestic transac

An essential input to monetary policymaking is inflation forecasting, and one important factor regarding inflation forecasting debated by researchers is the use of a global component. This thesis builds upon Ciccarelli and Mojon (2005, 2010) as well as Gillitzer and McCarthy (2019), who investigate the performance of a global component when forecasting domestic inflation. This paper examines the i

The world is currently facing many great challenges, including a rising inequality as a result of the benefits occurring from economic development accrues to some individuals on the expense of others. This is an issue which is even more significant in the Global South. Hence, social innovations have been proposed as an important factor to tackle this problem. Yet, many social innovations fail not

The microorganism Cupriavidus necator is a very interesting bacterium that has been established as a model microorganism for its capability to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates, more specifically polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a potential precursor/raw material for bioplastics. Lately, the scientific community has raised interest in the chemolithoautotrophic nature of C. necator as it can be grown using C

Today, the world contains an unimaginably massive amount of digital information, increasing ever so rapidly and bringing about a wide range of opportunities across industries such as predicting future trends, combating crime to name a few. As a result, more and more organi-sations are investing heavily in Business Intelligence (BI) with the hope of gaining insights through data and analytics and h

Genom att minska mängden planktivor och bottenlevande fisk (reduktionsfiske eller biomanipulation) kan vattenkvalitén och den ekologiska statusen i övergödda sjöar förbättras. Om metoden utförs effektivt ger den positiva effekter på siktdjup, algmängd samt biodiversitet vilket ökar möjligheterna för rekreation och dricksvatten. En viktig upptäckt vid reduktionsfisken är att bottenlevande fisk har Biomanipulation, i.e. to reduced planktivorous- and benthivorous fish in order to receive changes in the trophic structure has been a successful method to improve water quality and the ecological status in eutrophic lakes. The initial idea was to increase the abundance of large zooplankton and thus to cause a trophic cascade with reduced algal biomass. Many studies failed to observe an increase of

The Swedish government started its initiative for electronic services (e-services) in 2005 to create the infrastructure for information management, optimize the government, and potentially save tax money. The technological paradigm Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) was adopted to facilitate the Swedish government's initiative. The purpose of SOA is to increase efficiency for developing e-ser

Bloggers thereby are given numerous possibilities to make use of their authenticity and credibility, and endorse brands through collaborations with PR. This study explores the established discipline of blogger relations in German PR a

Principen om avtalsfrihet är en sedan länge befäst princip som utgör en huvudregel inom den allmänna avtalsrätten. Principen vinner starkt stöd från liberalistiskt håll och fick ett uppsving under den liberalistiska eran medan det från socialistiskt håll sedermera väckts en oro kring att sämre ställda parter kan tänkas hamna i kläm av en absolut avtalsfrihet. Det har nu visat sig att det råder oliThe freedom of contract-principle has been a standard rule within the general contract law for quite some time. The principle was strongly supported by the liberals’ point of view and its importance grew during the liberalistic era. In contrast, socialists were concerned that weaker parties would come to be mistreated by an absolute form of freedom of contract. It is now known that the parties of

In this work aMatlab model of a simplified LTE system has been implemented. The PUSCH and PDSCH signal chains has been used for reception and transmission of data and DM-RS symbols are used as pilots. Moreover, the model supports communication and interference between multiple users and base station antennas. The wireless channels are modeled as multi-path Rayleigh fading and are continuous in tim

Höjningar och sänkningar av den globala havsnivån under pleistocen och holocen har framför allt styrts av glacio-isostatiska och glacio-eustatiska faktorer, direkt kopplade till de cykliska ökningarna respektive minskningarna av Jordens istäcken. Förutom de dominerande glacio-isostatiska och glacio-eustatiska faktorerna har flera andra komponenter påverkat havsnivån, vilket komplicerar de regionalRise and fall of the global sea level during Pleistocene and Holocene are mainly caused by glacio-isostatic and glacio-eustatic factors directly linked to the cyclic increase and decrease of the Earth’s ice sheets. Apart from the dominating glacio-isostatic and glacio-eustatic factors, several other components have influenced the global sea level, which complicates the regional sea level curves of
