Whilst CFCCs can deliver environmental, social and economic benefits for cities, businesses are routinely opposed to the introduction of

Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva vilka effekter fysisk aktivitet har som behandlingsmetod på depressiva symtom hos vuxna

CERN operates the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC was built to advance the state of knowledge in particle physics by increasing the energy of colliding particles to the TeV range. With this increase in capability comes increased fire safety challenges, including the need for more accurate assessment of fire-induced release of radioac

This study tests the Fama-French 5-factor asset pricing model in a developing stock market. The purpose is to investigate whether the size, value, profitability, and investment factor premiums exist in the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE). The test results of the Fama-French 5-factor model are compared with those of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Using monthly stock data for July 2009 to

Denna uppsats behandlar polisers anställningsskydd och de avvägningar som gjorts i fall då poliser gjort sig skyldiga till brott, i förhållande till allmänhetens förtroende. Vid bedömningen har särskild vikt lagts vid att undersöka de aspekter som föranlett avsked och hur bedömningen gjorts för att fastslå avskedet. I uppsatsen har den rättsdogmatiska metoden använts för att utreda rättsläget. SoThis essay aims to discuss the Swedish legislation regarding dismissal of policemen on the grounds of a criminal offence.

In the assessment, particular emphasis has been placed on examining the aspects that prompted the dismissal. The tr

Vulkanisk aktivitet har sedan längre observerats ha en stor påverkan på klimatet. Svavelaerosoler från utbrott bildar molntäcken som kan sprida sig runt globen och hindrar en del solstrålar från att nå markytan. Till följd av detta sker en temperaturminskning av marknära luft under det område som molnet täcker. Den här kandidatuppsatsen reder ut skillnaden mellan inverkan på klimatet samt atmosfärVolcanic activity has long been observed to have a great impact on climate. Sulfate aerosols from an eruption form aerosol clouds that can spread around the globe and prevent some solar radiation from reaching the surface of the Earth. As a result, there will be a reduction of the surface air temperature below the aerosol cloud. This bachelor thesis discusses the difference between the impact on t

In April of 2019, Japan implemented a new visa system projected to bring in approximately 345,000 semi-skilled foreign workers into the country over several years. As the Japanese society also faces an ageing population and simultaneously a diminishing workforce, it has turned to immigrant workers to fill labor shortages. This influx of foreigners may result in cultural, societal, and economic iss

Fallstudie av en skogsplantskola – rester av DDT i jorden utgör än idag en hög risk för rovfåglar och rovdjur. Trots att användningen av insektsgiftet diklordifenyltrikloretan (DDT) sedan länge varit förbjuden i Sverige finns rester kvar i jorden på platser där det använts. Anledningen till att det finns kvar är att DDT är mycket svårnedbrytbart. Eftersom detta ämne även har förmåga att bioackumuAlthough prohibited since decades, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its metabolites still remain in the soil and pose a threat to ecosystems, where especially birds are susceptible to toxic effects. In this thesis, a model developed in the 1990s was used and updated in order to estimate the risks of DDT to top predators at a forest-plant nursery site. Unusually high concentrations of DDT
