Financial incentives are increasingly being used to promote provision of environmental services (ES). Costa Rica was early with launching their Payments for Environmental Services (PES) scheme that rewards provision of ES and prevents further losses of the same. This study examines the links between Costa Rican PES scheme, pro-environmental behavior and forest conservation. PES-beneficiaries and f
Tidigare forskning har påvisat att föräldrar ibland upplever att sjuksköterskor inom barnhälsovården (BHV) har för lite kunskap om för tidigt födda barn och vad det innebär att få ett för tidigt fött barn. Drygt 6 % av alla barn i Sverige föds före graviditetsvecka 38. Studiens syfte var att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att möta familjer med för tidigt födda barn inom barnhälsovården. I
Syftet med uppsatsen är att ta reda på vilka betydelsefulla ”triggers” som leder till internationell expansion, samt vilka viktiga faktorer som påverkar företagets internationaliseringsprocess. Sex snabbväxande svenska företag intervjuas. Ingen slutsats har kunnat ges generellt för alla företag, men vi har haft tillräckligt med underlag för att få en bra förståelse för vilka som är de vanligaste t
Bart Streumer utilizes the principle “R: We do not have reasons to do what we cannot do” in order to justify that ‘ought’ implies ‘can’. This thesis questions Streumer’s assumption and instead argues that we have reasons to do what is psychologically-, physically and maybe even metaphysically impossible but not conceptually or logically impossible. As is shown in the thesis we do not have reasons
Personlig integritet är en grundläggande del av den mänskliga värdigheten, något skyddsvärt. Det framgår av såväl regeringsformen som av den europeiska konventionen till skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna (EKMR). Trots det finns det ingen entydig uppfattning av vad som ska anses omfattas av skyddet för den personliga integriteten. Staten har tämligen långtgående skyldighet att skydda enskilThe right to integrity of the person constitutes a fundamental part of human dignity, an inviolable right that must be respected and protected. This is enshrined in both the Swedish Instrument of Government (sw. regeringsformen) and the European Convention on Human Rights. In spite of this, there is no unanimity around what protection of the right to integrity of the person encompasses in pra
PURPOSE: To explore oxidative stress and the radical scavenger α(1)-microglobulin (A1M) in the vitreous body of human eyes with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS: Levels of carbonyl groups, a marker of oxidative stress, and A1M were measured by ELISA and RIA in 14 vitreous samples derived from patients suffering from RRD, and compared with 14 samples from macula hole (MH
The idea of orienting the design process towards the well-being of the patient is not something new in the world of architecture. That the form follows the function is usually but what must be taken into account is the dynamics of the process of understanding human needs. With each day that passes, complex changes of different kinds affect the human being and society as a whole in an unalterable t
In Political Science a main theory is that a minimal winning coalition (MWC) will participate in the government. The parties included have to share the power of government. Therefore the winning coalition to be expected is the one including the fewest parties possible. My paper will atempt to examine if this is the main pattern in Swedish municipalities. My experience indicates that the ?Alliance
This thesis deals with the theories of ecological and environmental justice and applies them onto Swedish politics. Confronting the divide in the literature between anthropocentric and ecocentric perspectives, its aim is to seek points of agreement within this important field of environmental politics. In the theoretical discussion, definitions are made of the concepts sustainability, justice and

The WTO is constantly criticized for its lack of accountable activities, here this notion will be considered in relation to the Aid for Trade initiative enforced by the WTO. By evaluating this initiative and the emphasis by WTO on different accountability mechanisms a comprehensive picture on actions to improve accountability is intended to be reached. Through the application of a critical analysi
Denna uppsats behandlar skydd för utländska investeringar och indirekt expropriation i internationell rätt. En erkänd regel inom internationell rätt föreskriver att egendom som tillhör utländska investerare inte får tillvaratas utan tillräcklig kompensation, oavsett om det är för ett offentligt ändamål eller inte. Medan en bedömning av direkt expropriation anses relativt okomplicerad att företa ha
This study explores the possibility that the delayed hypoperfusion observed after an ischemic insult might be due to vasoconstriction induced by the release of noradrenaline from nerves originating in the locus ceruleus. Bilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesions of the ascending bundles from the locus ceruleus were carried out in the caudal mesencephalon of rats. Local CBF was measured with an autoradio
In search of factors influencing the outcome of an ischemic insult, we induced 10 min of forebrain ischemia in rats and assessed neuronal necrosis by quantitative histopathology after 1 week of recovery. Procedures for inducing ischemia included bilateral carotid artery clamping and reduction of blood pressure to 40–50 mm Hg by bleeding. To facilitate rapid lowering of blood pressure, a ganglionic
This chapter focuses on the use of doped carbon nanomaterials in catalysis. The availability of carbon nanotubes in the ‘90s and graphene about 10Â years later, prompted the development of fundamental research and novel nanotechnologies. We discuss this topic from a point of view that links fundamental surface science to the field of catalysis, in order to present the state of the art.
