Scientific abstract: The study set out to investigate diurnal patterns in methane flux in a fen in Kobbefjord, Southwest Greenland and to link these to physical and biological parameters in the environment. Methane flux was measured using six chambers which recorded the flux every ten minutes from spring to autumn. Methane flux data from 2009 and 2010 were compared to photosynthetically active radA study of diurnal variations in methane flux in a fen in Kobbefjord in Southwest Greenland is presented. Four separate periods, each of one week, from the growing seasons of 2009 and 2010 were chosen. Methane flux data were compared to surface temperature, soil temperature and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Regression tests between surface temperature and methane flux produced highly

However, all decisions by public administration cannot be appealed in accordanc

In today's society, companies are struggling to be heard and seen in the ever-increasing amount of information available on the market. A distinctive trademark has therefore become a very important means of communication for businesses. A trademark is often of considerable value in the form of goodwill and corporate image and is seen to communicate consumer attitude. An entire concept is not uI dagens samhälle kämpar företag för att höras och synas i det överflöd av information som finns tillgänglig. Ett särskiljande kännetecken har därmed blivit ett mycket viktigt kommunikationsmedel för företag. I detta kännetecken ligger ofta ett betydande värde i form av goodwill och image och attityd hos förbrukarna. Inte sällan är det hela koncept som förmedlas i ett komplicerat byggande av relat

Klimatförändringen är ett fenomen som på ett aldrig tidigare skådat sätt kommer att sätta press på rättssystem världen runt. Det finns ett behov av att utforma rättsliga instrument och institutioner för att hantera förändringar i miljön men också av att utforma själva lagstiftningen att vara flexibel och anpassningsbar i förhållande till föränderliga förhållanden i naturens tillstånd. För att säkeClimate change is a phenomenon that in an unprecedented way will put pressure on the legal systems worldwide. Not only is there a need for designing the necessary legal instruments and institutions to handle changes in the environment but also for the law itself to be flexible and able to adapt under preconditions in nature which are uncertain. To ensure that the legislation is resilient enough to

Sedan implementeringen av Infosoc-direktivet måste Sverige, genom att enskilda tillåts att kopiera för privat bruk, säkerställa att en rimlig kompensation utges till upphovsmän och närstående rättsinnehavare. Hur denna kompensation ska upptas, utges eller fördelas har lämnats till respektive medlemsstat och enbart generella regler framhålls i direktivet och dess praxis. Rätten till en rimlig kompeSince the implementation of the Infosoc-directive Sweden must, in relation to the private copying exception, secure that a fair compensation is given to the copyright and neighbouring right holders. However the directive does not contain specific rules regarding in which way the compensation shall be collected, brought out or divided; only general guidelines are given in the directive and in case

Fairtrade has become a familiar trademark for most consumers in the developed world and represents an option for the buyer to purchase a product that has been certified to follow the ethical standards of ”fair” trade. This branding has received much critique over the last years concerning Fairtrade's ability to improve the lives of small producers in the developing world. This thesis derives f

Sveriges och Europas befolkning blir allt äldre samtidigt som färre föds. Med andra ord ska allt färre yngre människor försörja allt fler äldre. Den 15 december 2008 infördes nya svenska regler för arbetskraftsinvandring från tredjeland. Reformen innebar att det gamla systemet där ansökningar om arbetstillstånd först prövades mot behovet på den inhemska marknaden, den så kallade arbetsmarknadsprövThe Swedish and European population is aging and fewer are born. In other words, fewer young people have to provide for an increasing number of elderly people. On December 15 2008 new Swedish rules for labour migration from third countries were introduced. The old system where an application for work permit was first assessed according to the needs of the domestic market, the so-called ”arbetsmark

This study investigates if the access to mobile telecommunication in African countries has an effect on export flows between countries in Africa and EU countries. Countries in Africa have the last decade experienced an immense growth of available mobile cellular subscriptions. The effect of this increase has not been studied before in an international trade context. This study also investigates if

IPRED (Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive) infördes i svensk lag i februari 2009 och innebar ändringar i den immateriella regleringen. Artikel 8 i IPRED låg till grund för den svenska sk ipred-lagen där bestämmelserna om informationsföreläggande införts i 53c-53g §§ i Upphovsrättslagen. Införandet av IPRED och den integritetsproblematik som därmed uppkommit har medfört en viss rätt

When new technologies for the health care sector are developed, it is of outmost importance to increase the possibilities of survival and remain high quality of life for patients. During the conception and design of such technologies, the problem to solve and the possible solutions to achieve have to be well understood and the scope has to be defined. For the particular case of the project LISA, t

Today’s information society puts an increased demand on companies to have implemented a structured IP management system to protect and control their knowledge. This report describes the development of a quality tool that serves the purpose of identifying improvement areas in IP Management Systems at middle sized product development companies. The quality tool should represent a systematic approac
