In a time of global climate change and increasing social inequalities across scales, the need to approach the intersection of these issues arises. Cities with industrial legacy in the United States present a distinct local context of social inequalities and climate impacts. Nevertheless, few empirical examples of climate action that incorporates social equity and justice exist. Further, the limite

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka innebörden av rekvisitet i respektive lagstiftning för att sedan jämföra dem och undersöka om de skiljer sig åt i tolkningen eller i tillämpningen. Rekvisitet väsentlig skattThis essay aims to examine the meaning of the prerequisite “significant tax benefit”. The prerequisite occurs in two different pieces of tax legislation, in the Swedish tax evasion law and in the limitation of interest deduction-rules in the Swedish income tax law. The main purpose of this essay is to study the prerequisite in its respective legislation and compare them to find out if they differ.

Inom entreprenader är det vanligt med viten som del av parternas avtal. Ofta är de införda som villkor för att hålla tider, kvalitet och arbetsmiljö. Vitets funktion i avtalet är att i förväg avtala om påföljd vid avtalsbrott. Fördelen är för beställarens del är att beloppet inte behöver styrkas såsom vid skadeståndsanspråk, och en konkret skada behöver inte ha uppstått. För entreprenörens del är In construction contracts, liquidated damages are common as part of agreements between the parties. They are often introduced as conditions for adhering to times, quality and working environment. The function of the liquidated damages is to agree in advance on a penalty for breach of contract. The advantage for the employer is that the amount does not need to be proven as in the case of a claim fo

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur socionomer upplever och hanterar den psykiska belastningen i sitt arbete med utredningsarbete av barn och ungdomar i socialtjänsten. Syftet var också att undersöka hur de intervjuade resonerar kring begreppet sekundärt trauma och möjligheter att tala om och förstå de psykologiska påfrestningarna de upplever i sin yrkesroll. Urvalet var målorienterat. MetodeThe aim of this study was to examine how social workers in child welfare experience and manage the mental strain in their work with investigative work of children and young people in the social services.

Studier av palaeostormfloder ger bakgrund till inom vilka intevall stormar av olika storlek förväntas återkomma och träffa olika områden. Denna information kan användas vid modellering, riskbedömning och stadsplanering. Genom att använda de marina ekvationerna av Nittrouer och Sternberg (1981; The formation of sedimentary strata in an allochthonous shelf environment: the Washington continental sheStudies of palaeostorm surges provides background into at what frequencies storms of different magnitudes are expected to return and hit different areas. This information can be used when modelling, doing risk assesments and city planing. Using the marine equations of Nittrouer and Sternberg (1981; The formation of sedimentary strata in an allochthonous shelf environment: the Washington continenta

Reparera mera – en svensk möjlighet att förlänga livstiden på produkter Genom att reparera din produkt istället för att köpa en ny bidrar du till att råmaterial besparas, de globala ekosystemen bevaras och växthusgasutsläppen minskas – och du får dessutom möjlighet att bruka din produkt under en längre tid! Reparation utgör därmed en viktig del i omställningen från dagens linjära ekonomi, som byggTo reduce the use of resources, as well as to minimize the effluents of carbon dioxide; we need to use our products for a longer time. Repairs makes that possible and is considered a key strategy to move towards a more circular economy (CE). Sweden recently presented its CE action plan, which includes few direct initiatives that would foster repairs. Therefore, through a literature review, policy

I detta examensarbete skapas en teoretisk modell av en dubbelkvantprick med särskilda egenskaper i programmeringspråket Python. Kvantprickar har ett brett användningsområde i bland annat LEDs och i lasrar men inte minst som beräkningsenhet i kvantdatorer.In recent experiments on semiconductor nanowires and quantum dots, enhanced g-factors up to several times the bulk value have been measured [1] [2]. The enhancement is attributed to orbital contributions g∗orb to the effective g-factor g∗ = g∗spin+g∗orb from the coupling of the high angular momentum ring-like states to the magnetic field. The objective of the work presented here is to model the do

Sustainability is a megatrend affecting companies’ strategic development process in many industries, including the dairy industry. The concerns on environmental issues in combination with other societal demands have initiated an industry transformation towards dairy alternatives. While the magnitude remains uncertain, policies are significant in accelerating or inhibiting the shift. However, exist

One group of people, namely those pregnant during the pandemic, faced a unique set of circumstances that this research has aimed to understand. The purpose of this research was to contribute to filling the knowledge gap by delving into the risk perception and protective behaviours adapted by pregnant peop

Denna uppsats har som syfte att studera det relativt outforskade området rörande det svenska prästerskapets agerande under Uppsala möte. För att uppfylla detta syfte analyseras fem av de mötesskildringar som finns bevarade från Uppsala möte. Dessa mötesskildringar analyseras främst utifrån Wolfgang Reinhards processer för “konfessionsbyggande” med syfte att se hur prästerskapet handlade för att st

Men’s perpetration of intimate partner violence against women is a global problem that prevents social equality and contributes to severe health problems for many women, and the ongoing global covid-19 pandemic has caused an increase in violence against women. The aim of this study was therefore to explore social workers' perspectives on how the covid-19 pandemic affects women subjected to int

Informal institutions are believed to be especially determinant in institutional change, as argued by both old and new institutional economic theory. However, due to the complexity of quantifying them, they are rarely measured. In this study, I examine how well one can capture informal institutions by using Google Trends. I create an index over informal institutional quality (IIQ), proxied by 66 G
