Elpriset som undersöks är det svenska spotpriset på el från Nord Pool. Sverige behandlas som en isolerad marknad på grund av överföringsbegränsn

Öresundsregionen är en mycket aktiv region med över tjugotusen människor som arbetspendlar dagligen. Rent fysiskt är det idag lättare att pendla över Öresund än förr, tack vare Öresundsbron. Det finns dock andra hinder. Sveriges regler för sociala avgifter och på inkomstskatteområdet skiljer sig en hel del från Danmarks och denna diskrepans kan ge upphov till vissa problem. Uppsatsen är inriktad pThe Öresund region is a very active region with over twenty thousand people commuting daily across Öresund.

Småvatten är trots sin ringa storlek ekologiskt betydelsefulla och fungerar som habitat för många arter. För groddjur spelar de en avgörande roll för fortplantningen eftersom småvatten används som lekmiljö. Populationer av groddjur minskar idag över hela världen och två av de största hoten mot groddjur är habitatförlust och habitatfragmentering. I Sverige har många småvatten försvunnit som en effeDespite their size, small ponds are ecologically important and act as a habitat for many species. For amphibians they play a significant role for reproduction given that ponds are used as breeding sites. At present amphibian populations are decreasing worldwide and two of the biggest threats they face are habitat destruction and habitat fragmentation. In Sweden many small ponds have disappeared ov

Railway expansion is usually associated with containing and supporting economic growth. This particular research approaches railways from the angle of technological potential. It explores whether railways can drive China towards technology-led growth, and if so, the way in which this process occurs. The study uses a theoretical framework of complementarities adjusting it to the qualitative analysi
On January 1, 2011 the new structural design rules (Eurocode) became valid in Sweden; these rules are common to the entire European Union. The reason for the introduction of the Eurocode is to try and eliminate trade barriers between member states. This thesis aims to show what impact this change from Boverkets structural design rules (BKR) to the Eurocode will have on the dimensioning of shear re
The Kosi River, called “the Sorrow of Bihar”, lies in Nepal and northern India, where it has caused devastating floods throughout the years. The river is known for its dynamic flows and high sediment load, leading to one of the largest alluvial fans in the world as well as avulsive shifting. The monsoonal dynamics in the region causes high fluctuation in the river discharge, with almost annual flo

Hence, considering that modes of transport display different costs for the society, it is essential not only to understand what repercussion

Lex Britannia infördes 1991 efter ett fall i Arbetsdomstolen som kommit att kallas, Britanniadomen (AD 1989 nr 120).
