Under tillskapandet av skadeståndslagen (1972:207) diskuterades frågor om autonomi utifrån flera utgångspunkter. Förekomsten av dessa diskussioner i lagens förarbeten och i flera framstående rättsvetenskapsmäns arbeten under perioden mellan 1864 års strafflag och den nya skadeståndslagen ger oss värdefull inblick i problemet med autonomi och skadeståndsrätt idag, inte minst vad gäller dess förhåll
Differences in political orientation are partly rooted in personality, with left-wing political attitudes being predicted by Openness to Experience and right-wing attitudes by Conscientiousness. This has been validated across numerous studies from different countries. This essay adds to that body of research by examining whether personality differences between the political sides also exist in the

It is of interest to analyse the influence of different branding concepts (green, love and technology) on attitude towards public transportation, the intention to use and recommend it. Methodology: The study was of quantitative nature. Three brands for a
Idag vet vi att klimatet håller på att förändras, och vi riskerar fatala konsekvenser. I denna studie undersöks svenska klimataktivister och deras förhållningssätt till sig själva, klimatproblemen och icke-aktivister, samt dynamiken däremellan. Detta genom att intervjua nio stycken klimataktivister. I intervjuerna beskrivs klimatproblemen som å ena sidan att de ekonomiska lagarnas är överordnade
While previous research suggests that top managers’ long-term orientation is related to their strategic decision making processes, few studies have investigated this relationship in a Western cultural context. Therefor, the aim of the current thesis is to investigate the relationship between long-term orientation and strategic decision making processes, specifically, decision comprehensiveness, de
The European spruce bark beetle is considered as one of the most destructive forest insects to Norway spruce trees in Europe. Climate change may increase the frequency and intensity of bark beetle outbreaks. It is therefore of vital importance to detect the bark beetle outbreaks and take it under control to prevent further damages. Remote sensing techniques may provide a cost-efficient solution to
Academic research has tried to explain the challenges women in executive positions face in connection to work-life balance, glass ceiling and the gender gap in management. However, these previous studies have been made mainly quantitatively. Therefore, this study aims to go beyond the numbers by using a qualitative research approach. This thesis has collected in-depth data through interviews with
Increasing water demand and water security risks are global concerns for societal prosperity and business continuity as clean water is a critical input in several industrial processes. Understanding water risks is a complex field and few studies exists on the effects of water supply disruptions on industries. Economic impact assessment of water shortages is therefore important for insurance and ri
Modern well-insulated and highly glazed buildings experience increased overheating, even in cold climates. Buildings hold the biggest share of the world’s energy use, and current climate crisis can exacerbate future need for cooling. The study strives to analyse passive solar shadings on a south-oriented façade, having predetermined that external and internal shadings’ main function is solar heat
I Maj 2018 lanserade regeringen en strategi för Sveriges nationella skogsprogram. Som en viktig del av skogsprogrammets implementering initierar Länsstyrelserna nu regionala dialogprocesser för att jobba fram regionala skogsstrategier och handlingsplaner. Tidigare forskning visar att den svenska skogspolitiken hittills inte har lyckats hantera målkonflikterna mellan produktion och miljö. Därför vi
Technological change is an important source for long-term economic growth, but it may also affect the labor markets by creating and eliminating jobs. While new technologies have not caused massive unemployment, there has been a change in the type of jobs over time, which may affect inequality. Contemporary studies have shown that technological change has caused labor polarization through decreasin
Kvalitetsmärkning av begagnade produkter i den svenska IT-sektorn Hur kan vi konsumenter lita på, att en begagnad produkt håller en tillräckligt hög kvalitet, för att vi ska välja att köpa den istället för en ny? Ibland är det tillräckligt att titta på en vara för att kunna bedöma kvaliteten men i vissa fall, så som elektroniska produkter, är det betydligt svårare för konsumenten att göra en bedDue to the depletion of earth’s resources and the growing concern of electronic waste it is important to extend the lifespan of electronic products. Consumers often have the perception that re-used and remanufactured products are of lesser quality than new counterparts. This study aims to evaluate if a more comprehensive sustainability certification scheme for electronic products, covering criteri
Background Low fill rates of goods transportation causes low overall utilization of resources in the logistics sector. The total goods flow is expected to increase and thus CO2-emissions. Rail freight is a low emission alternative to e.g. road haulage. To counter this development, initiatives have been aiming for achieving better efficiencies and promoting rail freight. Information sharing is cons
