På uppdrag från Trafikverket har en utredning om PAH-detektering inom vägteknik genomförts för att kunna ge förslag på hur de bör utforma ett kommande undersökningsprogram. Polycykliska aromatiska kolväten, PAH, är en grupp organiska föreningar som är en del av vägtjära. Vägtjära användes som bindemedel i asfaltsbeläggningar i Sverige under nästan 50 år, fram tills 1973. Flera PAH har visat sig vAn investigation regarding PAH detection in road pavements has been put together as an assignment from Trafikverket. The purpose of this investigation is to put forward suggestions about how they should shape their upcoming research program. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, PAH, is an organic chemical compound which is found in road tar. Road tar was used as a bonding agent in asphalt pavements i

An attempt was made to create a museum that focuses on the issues of democracy, migration and human rights by the Swedish authorities in 2015. As a result of the feasibility study of such an institution, the Museum of Movements (MoM) began to operate in its temporary location in Malmö.

Denna uppsats har som syfte att undersöka hur lärare kan utforma en normkritisk litteraturundervisning i ämnet svenska på gymnasiet. Undersökningen utgår från Ninni Holmqvists novell ”Kostym” för att analysera lärares arbete med värdegrunds- och queerfrågor i litteraturundervisningen. Teorier om litteraturdidaktik, normkritisk pedagogik och queerteori samt intervjuer med svensklärare och novellen The purpose of this essay is to investigate how teachers can provide a norm-critical literature education in upper secondary school. Four teachers using the short story “Kostym” by Ninni Holmqvist were interviewed to evaluate how they incorporate the Swedish school’s fundamental values in their teachings of literature.

Den svenska offentliga sektorn har under de senaste decennierna varit föremål för en rad förändringar vars konsekvenser satt sina spår i många av dess verksamheter. Förändringsprocessens startskott skedde redan på 1980-talet och den offentliga sektorn präglas sedan dessa allt mer av ökad privatisering, konkurrensutsättning, (de)centralisering och ökade krav på effektivisering. Samtliga ovanstående

Strong online platforms, such as Facebook, Amazon and Google, pose new obstacles in the field of EU competition law. For example, the process of assessing dominance is generally divided into two steps: (i) defining the market and estimating the undertakings’ market shares and (ii) analysis of ‘other factors’ that are indicative of market power. However, since online platforms differ considerably i

Bolsa Família is one of the largest conditional cash transfer programs in the world. It provides cash transfers to poor households, conditional on human capital requirements such as minimum school attendance.

Dålig luftkvalitet inomhus påverkar inte bara komforten och hälsan hos oss människor. Dålig luftkvalitet kan också bidra till att bakterier och virus kan sprida sig om förhållandena i luften är gynnsamma för viruset eller bakteriens överlevnad. Flera studier har gjorts där olika virus överlevnadsförmåga har undersökts under olika temperaturer och relativa fuktigheter. Studierna har visat att den rPoor indoor air quality not only affects the comfort and health of us humans, but it can also contribute to the spread of bacteria and viruses if the conditions in the air are favourable for the virus. Several studies have been done where different virus survivability has been examined under different temperatures and relative humidity. Studies have shown that the relative humidity affects the via

The aim of this thesis is to explore the relative importance of the eight psychological Active Innovation Resistance (AIR) barriers, from the new typology of AIR barriers developed from Talke and Heidenreich in 2014, on the consumer’s intention to adopt or buy circular fashion products.

Klimatförändringar förväntas ha en stor inverkan jordens ekosystem i framtiden och till en viss grad har en sådan påverkan redan börjat märkas av. Exempelvis har man märkt att trädens lövknoppar brister ut allt tidigare om vårarna, samtidigt som vissa flyttfåglar väljer att stanna i Norden över de mildare vintrarna, i stället för att flytta till sydligare breddgrader. Det här är troligtvis en konsLegacy effects of spring temperature anomalies on seasonal productivities in northern ecosystems Direct and lagged effects from spring temperature anomalies for the time-period 2001-2018 have been investigated for northern ecosystems (> 30°N). Three different data sets of Gross Primary Production (GPP) estimates (GOSIF, NIRvGPP and FLUX GPP) have been used in tandem with concurrent climate data

The purpose of this thesis is to first evaluate how the EU´s FD is implemented and understood on a national level in Sweden.
