Det svenska skogsbruket påverkar skogens biologiska mångfald Alla dessa kalhyggen vi ser när vi är ute och åker i vårt avlånga land. Förutom att de kanske inte är så estetiskt vackra finns också forskning som visar på att många arter har svårt att klara sig när man gör så stora störningar i naturen. Ur ekonomisk synvinkel är de förmodligen ganska bra, ur ekologisk synvinkel blir resultatet ett an80% of all forest in Sweden is considered to be in active use and since the mid 20th century, clear-cutting is the dominating forestry management method. The implication of clear-cutting is that large areas (up to 200 hectare) are being harvested at once and leaving bare ground as a result.

Research indicates that social and climate policy are highly interdependent and should thus be perceived and practiced as a joint policy field to avoid conflictual outcomes and to enhance potential synergies. Such an integration of policy is highly relevant in urban planning.

Föreställ dig att det går att förutse vistelsetid och överlevnad inom 30 dagar för en patient som läggs in på en intensivvårdsavdelning. Dessa mått kunnat bidra till en djupare förståelse för intensivvård. Dessutom hade dörrar öppnats för jämförelse av vårdavdelningar sinsemellan. I det här projektet har intagningsdata till intensivvårdsavdelningar, in- nehållande allt ifrån information om kroppstA large data set, consisting of 300 000 patients’ admission data to various intensive care units in Sweden, acquired from the Swedish Intensive Care Register, was used in this work. The aim was to enable accurate Length of Stay (LOS) and mortality within 30 days predictions by using feed-forward Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). The LOS outcome was predicted as short versus long time stays, with

This research draws a parallel between the recent political backlashes witnessed in the (de)-industrialized world and people’s attitudes towards climate policies. In lieu of the rise of populism, subjective feelings induced by individuals’ perceptions of their condition have increasingly been considered by researchers. In parallel, there is a substantial literature on the determinants of public su

En kartläggning som gjordes av Föreningen Svenskar i Världen år 2015 visade att antalet utlandssvenskar som var bosatta i Spanien under mer än sex månader per år uppgick till mer än 90 000. Sådana gränsöverskridande förflyttningar påverkar i vissa fall den svenska skattebasen eftersom utflyttade personer många gånger går från att vara obegränsat skattskyldiga för samtliga sina inkomster till att eA survey carried out by the independent organization Swedes Worldwide in 2015 showed that over 90 000 Swedes spent more than six months a year in Spain. These emigration movements sometimes affect the Swedish tax base since individuals are no longer liable to pay income tax on all incomes and only become liable to pay income tax on incomes having a source in Swedish territory. Compared to other c

Vid en företagsöverlåtelse utgör ofta det skriftliga förvärvsavtalet en omfattande reglering av parternas respektive rättigheter och skyldigheter. I förvärvsavtalet finns allt som oftast också en s.k. integrationsklausul som stadgar att parternas skriftliga förvärvsavtal är den slutliga och fullständiga regleringen av parternas aktuella rättsförhållande. Uppsatsens syfte är att närmare utreda en aThe written agreement for an acquisition of a company is often an extensive regulation of the parties’ rights and obligations. The written agreement usually also contains a so called “integration clause” which proclaims that the written agreement constitutes the parties’ complete agreement of the transaction. The purpose of this thesis is to further examine a certain problem within a contract inte

I april 2015 infördes ett nytt billighetsskäl avseende utredningsmedverkan av egen brottslighet i 29 kap. 5 § första stycket brottsbalken. Paragrafen ger uttryck för gärningsmannens personliga förhållanden och att något som har inträffat efter brottet bör kunna beaktas vid straffmätning och påföljdsval i lindrande riktning.

Det finns flera underrättelseplikter av olika karaktär i AB 04. Ett exempel är beställarens reklamationsplikt vid fel i entreprenad i 5 kap. 15 § AB 04. Av bestämmelsen framgår när och hur reklamation ska ske, samt vad som följer av en sen eller utebliven reklamation. I många fall ska dock en underrättelse ske även utan att underrättelsen föregåtts av ett kontraktsbrott. Syftet med föreliggande upIn AB 04 there are several duties of notification of different character. One example is the contractee’s duty to file a notice of claim in accordance to 5 kap. 15 § AB 04 when the construction has gone wrong.

Studien syftade till att undersöka vad som motiverar ledare att arbeta ideellt i en idrottsförening. Utöver den övergripande frågan studerades även om vissa skillnader ledarna emellan, exempelvis ålder, kön, erfarenhet, roll och eget barn i verksamheten, hade någon inverkan på hur de skattade sin motivation. Till studien rekryterades 207 ungdomsledare i fotboll som vid aktuell tidpunkt var involve

Due to rapid developments in communication technology, it is likely that 5G networks will be rolled out in 2019. To adapt to 5G, hardware will have to develop to meet the requirements of this new technology. The mmWave communication is one of the main elements of 5G technology. The mmWave frequency bandwidth is used to carry the data links and can achieve a higher transmission data rate than the
