Bark och vedlevande lavar på Kullaberg Kullaberg sträcker sig över en urbergshorst med en spännande geologi, kuperad terräng och en omväxlande natur. Lägger man till en historiskt skiftande markanvändning och ett par områden med relativt god skoglig kontinuitet finns det förutsättningar som borgar för en rik flora och en stor artrikedom. Därför är det ingen överraskning att man här enligt LänsstyThe rocky peninsula of Kullaberg, Sweden, is managed by the county administration and the Gyllenstiernska Krapperup foundation. Split into two nature reserves it comprises almost 1000 ha of deciduous forests, patches of conifer forests, grasslands, scrublands, steeps and cliffs. A floristic survey was conducted in the area, investigating the corticolous and lignicolous lichens. The results were co

Svenskt ställföreträdarskap för vuxna består av möjligheten att utse en god man eller förvaltare. Tidigare fanns en möjlighet att upprätta en fullmakt för någon som kunde hjälpa den enskilda även efter att denna p.g.a. ålder eller annan orsak inte längre var beslutsförmögen. Det förfarandet kritiserades på många håll, inte minst genom NJA 2015 s. 851. Av denna anledning pågår arbetet för att anta Swedish deputisation for adults comprises the possibility to designate an administrator or trustee. Earlier, there were a possibility to nominate a proxy agent to assist individuals with their affairs even after a they due to old age or any other reason not were able to. This procedure has become questioned, not least in the Swedish Supreme Court, NJA 2015 s. 851. Due to this reason, the Swedish g

Memory compilers are typically intellectual property of memory vendors. The purpose of compilers is to automatically generate various kinds of memories depending on the customer order. These compilers support the generation of various memory capacities as well as static random-access memory (SRAM) types, e.g., single- and dual-port memories. Discrepancy between the customers requirements and vendo

Dagens mixerteknik baserad på kiseltransistorer börjar närma sig en punkt där det inte går att öka prestandan i någon högre utsträckning och därmed behövs en ersättare. Här har vi undersökt hur vi med hjälp av aktiv last och nanotrådstransistorer kan utveckla den traditionella Gilbertcellsmixern.Abstract A center point in the transistor research is to find a successor to the silicon-based transistors that are mainly used in today’s industry. III-V Field Effect Transistors (FET) have been the transistor of choice for many researchers for a long time but other options are interesting as well. The aim of this thesis is to show what a mixer circuit based on Nanowire transistors can achieve wh

Varför bor människor i högriskområden? -En intervjustudie i översvämningsdrabbade Akuressa, Sri Lanka. Svaret på denna frågar har visat sig vara mer komplex än vad man kanske tror och det är svårt att lyfta enskilda, isolerade anledningar. Frågan bör istället besvaras utifrån ett helhetsperspektiv. Kunskap kring detta anses viktig för att kunna implementera lämpliga åtgärder och förbättra situatA qualitative field study, based on Grounded Theory methodology, has been conducted in the areas around Akuressa in southern Sri Lanka. The method for data collection consisted mainly of semi-structured interviews with local residents. The purpose of the study was to evaluate why people live in high-risk areas. The aim was to do this by looking beyond the purely physical aspect of living with haza

Family related chracteristics are important determinants of individual outcomes. Also, fertility is a process closely related to development. As part of a body of literature investigating the effect of family size on schooling, this study develops an estimation using data for Colombia during 2010 to 2013. Building on exogenous variation in the number of siblings using multiple births and preferenc

China is getting old. During the past decades, strict population control has lead to an exceptional increase in the old-age dependency ratio - the number of elderly in relation to the number of working age individuals. In light of shifting demographics, as well as retirees' general tendency towards declining health, this thesis studies health-seeking behavior amongst retirees in China. The stu

The sustainability of biofuels has been a topic gaining recognition in the European Union’s policy making during recent years. Simultaneously, scholars have observed the use of new and indirect modes of governance in the EU, used to complement its habitual regulatory approach. On this basis, this thesis examines the European Commission’s governance of biofuels between 2003 and 2009. It aims to exa

En privatperson eller ett företag som vill köpa försäkring kan vända sig till en försäkringsförmedlare för att få hjälp med att hitta lämpligt försäkringsskydd. Försäkringstagare befinner sig ofta i ett kunskapsmässigt underläge i förhållande till försäkringsförmedlare och det är därför viktigt att det ställs krav på försäkringsförmedlare. Det är dock viktigt att de krav som ställs är tydliga, så An individual or a company that wants to purchase insurance can turn to an insurance broker to acquire an adequate insurance coverage. Since the policyholder often holds less knowledge relative the insurance broker, it is important that there are requirements on insurance brokers’ role as a consultant. The requirements must however be explicit, in order for insurance brokers to be able to follow t

Föreskriften om nödvärn finns i 24 kap. 1 § brottsbalken (BrB). Bestämmelsen anger att den som är föremål för ett brottsligt angrepp har rätt att försvara sig. Denna försvarsrätt inträder redan då ett brottsligt angrepp är överhängande. Den angripne är således på ett relativt tidigt stadium berättigad att vidta försvarsåtgärder. För att en gärning som begås i en nödvärnssituation ska vara rättsenlAccording to Chapter 24 paragraph 1 of the Swedish Penal Code a person who is subject to an impending or an embarked criminal attack has a right to protect himself by using self-defence. The fact that this right arises already when a criminal attack is impending means that the person who is subject to the attack has the right to defend himself at a quite early stage.
