Separated children are children under 18, who are outside their country of origin and have been separated from their parents, or other previous legal/customary primary caregiver. Although the reasons for these children's separation from their primary caregiver may vary, the phenomenon is not a recent occurrence. As for refugees in general, the number of asylum applications from separated child

Company reorganisations are becoming more and more frequent in order to stay competitive in an international market place and to adapt to the changing economic environment. In this matter, taxation is one of the most important issues and is often a barrier to restructuring operations which is the consequence of the large variation in the effective tax rates in the Community. Therefore, the creatio

Klimatanalysen av ett av Skånes största företag inom jord- och skogsbruk visade att kor är klimatbovar och att skogen kan hjälpa oss att sätta dit dem. Under många år har forskarna förutspått att uppvärmningen till följd av människans utsläpp av växthusgaser kan få dramatiska konsekvenser. En global ökning av temperaturen ökar förekomsten av extrema väderfenomen som stormar, skyfall och torka. I SThe Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) estimates global warming caused by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) to 1.1-6.4 º C in the year 2100. Agriculture is the source of 10-12 % of the global GHG emissions. Forests and other terrestrial ecosystems estimated to provide a sink affected by land use management. In this study, I estimate the sources and sinks in agricultur

Ökande marktemperaturer har rapporterats från hela Arktis. Marktemperaturen är känslig för klimatförändringar och spelar en viktig roll för biologiska och fysiska processer i jorden. I områden med permafrost (mark som är frusen minst två år i följd) kan en ökad marktemperatur leda till att permafrosten tinar, vilket kan få genomgripande konsekvenser på vegetation, hydrologi och infrastruktur. UpptIncreasing ground temperatures have been documented all around the Arctic. Ground temperatures are sensitive climate indicators and play an important role in biological and physical processes that occur in soils. Increases in ground temperatures can lead to permafrost thawing which in turn can have profound effects on vegetation, hydrology and infrastructure. Also the greenhouse gas balance can be

Phenological observations of terrestrial ecosystems are useful in monitoring the changes in the local climate due to their relatively long time series and high temporal resolution. However performing field based phenological observations can be a labour intensive and time consuming process. Using satellite-based remotely sensed data can make the process much more efficient. Although the satellites

In recent years we have seen a development within the archival tradition identified by some as a paradigm shift. The signifiers behind this shift are mirrored in the records continuum model - a model that then also reflects a wider socio-political understanding of the development of archival thinking. Hence this thesis intend to describe and analyse the current shift in archival description in Swe

Bound by the European Union policy, Poland needs to increase the share of renewable energy by 7,5% by 2010 and 15% by 2020. Biomass was once viewed as the largest potential for expansion of renewable energy in Poland. However, in the light of this thesis work, it appears that recent legislation and the standpoint of the State Forest Company will result in the barely emerging market for biomass fro

The aim of this thesis is to examine the long-run relationship between regional house prices, how the house price model behaves in the short run and if aggregated national house price models may be misleading. To investigate whether house prices are related in the long run we use cointegration tests to look for common trends. The short-run behaviour of the model is estimated by an error correction
