This paper examines the role of powerful entities in shaping international accounting standards. The purpose of this thesis is to identify whether and to what extent the different actors influence changes in the leasing standard-setting process, and provide an in-depth understanding of the political influences throughout the development of the leasing accounting standard. In this paper the qualita
Uppsatsen tar sitt avstamp i den politiska nollvisionen att inga barn ska vräkas. En utredning av gällande rätt klargör att även om det kan finnas en lagstadgad social rätt till bostad för barn så är denna inte så väldefinierad och reglerad att den är utkrävbar i domstol. Hyreslagen i jordabalkens 12:e kapitel ger så små möjligheter att i begränsade fall ta hänsyn till att barn kan beröras av en aThis study takes it start in the political vision zero regarding avoiding evictions of families with children. A thorough investigation of de lege lata gives the result that although Swedish law grants children a social right to housing this right is not defined to the point that it can be claimed in a court of law. Swedish rental property law, 12th chapter of the Land Code, jordabalken, gives nil
Urban planners lack knowledge of how solar potential of buildings is affected by the decisions taken at an early design phase. Therefore, the solar potential metric SAFARn was analysed and the development of a tool for assessing the solar potential of buildings for integration of photovoltaic panels was studied in order to provide architects and urban planners with necessary information regarding
A relationship between climate and growth of fish has long been established for many marine species. To ensure sustainable management of fisheries resources, knowledge of key processes governing productivity, population size and individual growth is paramount. The Northeast Arctic saithe stock is found along the coast of Norway north of 62º N, and despite being an important gadoid of high ecologic
Research show that rising sea levels and increased rainfall are expected to result in more floods in the future. The cellar is a place where many people store their most precious memories -things that insurance companies rarely can replace. To identify the need we used interviews, surveys and discussions with several victims of floods. With a focus on the coastal cities in Scania we defined the n
Tendons connect muscles to bones enabling efficient locomotion. This study focuses on the Achilles tendon, which is the strongest tendon in the body and fundamental for activities like walking, running and jumping. The Achilles tendon is the most frequently subjected tendon when it comes to injuries and ruptures. The best treatment is still debated, because the biomechanics of the tendons is not y
This thesis uses discourse to analyze how different story-lines of hydropower development in the Mekong River Basin reproduce the concept of sustainable development. With actors advocating sometimes diametrically opposite development paths resulting in different social, economic and environmental trade-offs they all refer to and motivate their agendas in terms of sustainable development. I applied

Anaplastic thyroid cancer is one of the most fatal endocrine malignancies. The tumour is highly invasive and show aggressive growth patterns with poor prognosis. Thyroid tumourgenesis is poorly understood. Thyroid malignancy incidences are higher in women than men with a ratio of 2:1, the average age at diagnosis is 60, tumour size ranging between 6 cm to 9 cm, highly infiltrative on presentation
The Master thesis «Shine» is consisting out of two parallel connected projects, based on a personal extensive interest for glittering, shimmering, shiny and dazzling effects. The first project is an exploration of a personal theme about the effect, in the theses referred to as «Shine». The second project is a concept of a tent, inspired from the first project.
Inlimmade skruvar är en relativt ny förbandstyp som kan användas för att skapa anslutningar som förblir dolda för det blotta ögat. Dessa dolda anslutningar är mer estetiskt tilltalande i kontrast till ”vanliga” förband med spikplåt, skruvar och bultar. Förbindarna får även ett naturligt skydd av träet vilket minskar arbetet med att brandskydda spikplåtar, skruvar och bultar. Syftet med examensarbeGlued-in Rods (GiR) is a relative new connection type that could be used for creating hidden joints in timber structures. These hidden joints are more esthetic appealing in contrast to ordinary joints with toothed plates, nails and bolts. With the use of GiR the connectors gets an automatic protection in case of fire while unprotected steel loses all of its strength in case of fire. In this report
In many developing countries, migration and remittances have become an important option for households facing poverty, unemployment and lack of opportunities. This raises the question of how effective this strategy is in improving welfare in countries sending migrants abroad and receiving remittances back. Of particular interest is the case of countries that have become highly dependent on the rem
In my bachelor project I have worked with some-thing I call “Clothes in the middle phase”. I focused on how people treat their clothes that are not newly washed, but still not ready for the washing machine. I have selected to work with people who tend to pile up their clothes on the floor, bed or another temporary place that can easily create a messy atmosphere in the room. A common behaviour is
Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att beskriva och analysera hemtjänstens ekonomistyrning i Malmö stad. Uppsatsen utgörs av ett uppdrag till Malmö stad och därför har ett viktigt syfte varit att också föreslå hur ekonomistyrningen kan förbättras. Uppsatsens resultat utmynnar i ett styrpaket som beskriver hemtjänstens nuvarande ekonomistyrning. Styrpaketet visar sig innehålla flera av de styrform

ESS (European Spallation Source) kommer att vara ett viktigt verktyg för den vetenskapliga utvecklingen i Lund, anläggningen kommer att vara världens mest kraftfulla neutronkälla avsedd för neutronspridningsexperiment. Neutroner frigörs via bombardemanget av tunga atomkärnor medelst högenergetiska protoner. Man kan göra en jämförelse med en kanonkula som slår in i en trävägg och slår loss träflisoThis thesis investigates the use of two automated weight window methods for variance reduction of flux in particle transport simulations. The methods are implemented in the Geant4 simulation software. Both methods are based on pre-simulations, using flux or relative error information as input. The methods are intended for use in shielding and instrumental background applications and are tested on
