Anna Brandin Struvit från allt vårt skit – näringsåtervinning under utveckling Fosfor är en ändlig resurs och för att inte hota jordens matproduktion är det viktigt att återföra fosforn genom ett hållbart kretsloppsperspektiv. Det kan exempelvis ske genom att återanvända fosfor från avloppsslam. Det finns flera olika metoder för att utvinna fosfor ur avloppsslam utan att få med oönskade ämnenDuring the biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) process, the phosphorus accumulating organisms (PAOs) accumulates excess phosphorus in the form of polyphosphorus (poly-P) in the aerobic phase. In the following anaerobic zone, PAOs take up volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and simultaneously releases poly-P. Through hydrolysis of the biosludge, the slowly biodegradable organic carbon is degraded into VFA

Fast driftställe är den mest centrala frågan i internationell företagsbeskattning och grunden till att Sverige får beskatta utländska företag. Tyvärr finns det knapphändig lagstiftning avseende flera aspekter av utländska företags skatterättsliga närvaro i landet. Det saknas t.ex. lagstiftning om den huvudsakliga effekten av att inneha ett fast driftställe såsom skatteberäkningen samt avslut av faPermanent establishment is the most central matter in international corporation tax, and is the reason why Sweden has the right to tax foreign companies.

Kombinerad bioetanol- och biogas-produktion från vetehalm. Genom ökad torrhalt vid fermentering, samt biogasproduktion från restprodukter, kan lönsamheten för biobränslen att öka. Ökande miljöproblem gällande växthusgaser är ständigt i fokus. År 2007 gav det europeiska parlamentet nya direktiv gällande energipolitiken, där målen var att växthusgaserna i Europa ska reduceras med 20% och att minst 1Currently the production cost of lignocellulosic ethanol is considered to be relatively high. Large fractions of the production cost come from the raw material and the energy consumed in the distillation. Therefore it is desirable to have a process that yields high concentration of ethanol and maximizes the utilization of the biomass. Wheat straw is a promising raw material for lignocellulosic eth

The aim of this paper is to investigate the exposure of Fair Trade (FT) importers in Germany, operating based on the principles of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), to foreign exchange (FX) rate risk in the light of the current depreciation of the Euro.

En palynologisk analys över Ordoviciums (Sandbian) Kinnekulle bentonit från södra delarna av mellersta Sverige har gjorts. Den sedimentära succsessionen är hämtad från Borenshult-1 borrkärnan som togs i Motala, syd-mellersta Sverige. Litologin domineras av mudstone och två tjocka bentonitlager. Akritarker dominerar den palynologiska sammansättningen och endast ett fåtal chitinozoer och scolecodontA palynological analysis across the Ordovician (Sandbian) Kinnekulle bentonites in south Central Sweden has been performed. The sedimentary successions were recovered from the Borenshult -1 drillcore in the Motala area, south central Sweden. The lithology is dominated by mudstones and two thick bentonite beds. Acritarchs dominate the palynological assemblage but a few chitinozoans and scolecodonts

Det svenska samhället har under längre tid sett ut så att skyddet för familjelivet, den privata sfären, vägt tyngre än ett offentligrättsligt styrande. Den rättsliga utvecklingen har dock under tid varit föränderlig och lagstiftaren har vägt in parametrar som att barn kan vara utsatta i familjelivet där de som skall ta hand om dem är de som utsätter barnen för skadliga handlingar. Enligt FN:s barnSwedish society has for some time looked to the protection of family life, private life, weighed heavier than a public ruling. The legal development, however, has been changing over time, and the legislature has weighed in parameters that children can be exposed in family life where those who must care for them are those who expose children to harmful acts. According to the UNCRC, the child's
