Ett förändrat klimat som en funktion av den pågående globala uppvärmningen kan i Sverige komma att leda till en ökning av naturkatastrofer i form av bland annat skred. Längs Norsälven i Värmland har det vid flera tidigare tillfällen inträffat skred och området har nu valts ut av Statens Geotekniska Institut (SGI) för att under 2013-2014 användas som ett pilotprojekt inom ett regeringsuppdrag för sThe oncoming climate change due to the progressing global warming may in Sweden lead to an increase in natural disasters, among other e.g. in the form of landslides.

Meat production accounts for approximately 18 per cent of the total GHG emissions in the world and beef is the kind of meat associated with the highest emissions. This paper derives the beef demand and elasticities in Sweden using regression analysis. Further, it calculates the effects of a hypothetical pigovian consumption tax on beef to reduce beef consumption and the associated emissions. The s

The aim of this study was to examine teachers' attitudes to the notification requirement of 14:1 SoL.

För att uppnå de nationella klimatmålen har energieffektivisering vid renovering av flerbostadshus uppmärksammats som ett strategiskt område. Dock väljer många fastighetsägare bort investeringar i energieffektiviserande åtgärder till förmån för projekt som anses vara mer lönsamma. Därmed är det av intresse att undersöka hur fastighetsägarna motiverar sina val vid investeringar i energieffektiviserIn order to achieve the national climate goals in Sweden, energy-efficiency has been noticed as a strategic area. Despite of the possibility, investments in sustainable retrofit of building blocks are not prioritized among property owners. Instead, projects with a higher profit are chosen. Therefore, it is essential to scrutinize the decision-makers motivation during this investments and how the p

It has also been comments on the law's primary care purpose, which is strongly em-phasized in th

This study deals with two issues. One is the interpretation of reconstructions of Iron Age houses; and the other is whether virtual reality—i.e. 3D modeling—is a useful tool for this interpretation. Physical reconstructions are constrained by both researchers’ and financiers’ interests. These interests sometimes clash, when e.g. return on investment forces a profitable version of a given project,
