As more functionality and complex systems are combined in limited settings the need for resource management is becoming increasingly important. Resources such as computing capacity, battery power and communication channels need to be divided between different applications and hardware to achieve the highest global performance. Traditionally the computing capacity has been handled by the system sch
Bekämpningsmedel i dricksvattnet verkar inte utgöra någon fara för invånarna i tätorten Degeberga, Kristianstads kommun. Av drygt 20 bekämpningsmedel som analyserades visade inga hälsoskadliga nivåer. Dessutom visade simuleringar för ytterligare bekämpningsmedel att endast ett ämne kunde riskera att nå skadliga nivåer. Emellertid visade inga ämnen tendenser till att stanna kvar i miljön under en lPesticides poses a threat to drinking water, especially where the usage is extended, like in Scania, Sweden. The main objective of this study was to identify and characterize substances used in the cultivated area of Degeberga. By the help of interviews with roughly 70 % of the landowners, I identified used pesticides in the area and the soil properties of their lands. Using the geographic informa
On a global scale, the energy system is the biggest contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, which accelerate the processes of global warming and climate change. The sustainability transition of energy systems is fundamental if the Paris Agreement goal of keeping the increase in global average temperature to below 2˚C compared to preindustrial levels is to be achieved. Transitions ar
Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka i vilken utsträckning en privat arbetsgivare kan anses ha sakliga grunder för att säga upp en tillsvidareanställd arbetsta- gare till följd av dess nyttjande av en mänsklig rättighet på sin fritid. Utgångsläget är att en tillsvidareanställd arbetstagare endast kan bli upp- sagd om arbetsgivaren har sakliga grunder för detta enligt 7 § LAS. För att sakliga grundeThis study aims to investigate to what extent a private employer can be con- sidered to have objective grounds to dismiss a permanent employee due to the fact that the worker has used one of its rights on its leisure time in contrary to the employer’s interests. A dismissal of a permanent employee needs to be based on objective grounds according to 7 § LAS. This requirement is generally met if the
The aim of this study is to empirically investigate the impact of credit ratings on European firms’ capital structure decisions based on the premise of Darren Kisgen’s Credit Ratings–Capital Structure (CR-CS) hypothesis: that firms face discrete costs (benefits) associated with differences in credit rating levels. This project's empirical investigations are based on historical data from Stand
“Abuse – That’s not really a factor in my world”: A qualitative study about how abuse is defined and constructed within geriatric care Nursing homes have increasingly come under attack in recent years for scandals involving the abuse of elderly care-takers within their organisations. The purpose of this study was to determine how abuse can be defined by the staff within geriatric care in nursing
Concrete hardens as a result of chemical reactions between water and cement. Cement is a hydraulic binder, in the reaction the cement binds water-molecules. This is an exoterm process, heat is produced during the reactions. How fast this process proceeds is much depending of the temperature. The amount of heat produced during the hardening of the concrete is also depending on the thickness of the
Den 2 januari 2022 trädde en lagändring i kraft som innebär att unga myndiga lagöverträdare i åldern 18–20 år inte längre ska särbehandlas under påföljdsbestämningen vid allvarligare brottslighet. Föremål för denna uppsats är ändringen som gjorts i brottsbalkens (BrB) 29 kap. 7 §. Enligt bestämmelsens nya lydelse ska 18–20-åringar inte längre få en generell straffreduktion till följd av sin unga åOn the 2nd of January an amendment came into effect that means young adult offenders in the 18-20 age group will no longer get special treatment in the determination of sanctions when the crime is of a more serious degree. This essay is about the amendment that has been done to chapter 29 section 7 in the Swedish Penal Code. According to the new regulation 18–20-year-olds will no longer get an aut
Cancer är en av de vanligaste dödsorsakerna och står bakom 10 miljoner dödsfall varje år. De vanligaste och mest studerade behandlingarna av cancer inkluderar kemoterapi och cellgifter, men det finns även andra sätt att behandla cancer. Ponera att kroppen själv kunde ta hand om cancer. Människans immunförsvar kan besegra både virus och bakterier, så intuitivt borde det inte vara mycket svårare föAccounting for 10 million deaths and 20 million new cases every year, cancer is one of the most common causes of death. The interest in trying to understand this lethal disease using mathematical models has increased steadily for many decades. Methods for boosting the immune system to better fight cancer (immunotherapy) have also been long present. However, the full potential of immunotherapy me
Principen om barnets bästa ska vara avgörande i alla frågor som rör vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Den bärande principen återfinns i både FN:s barnkonvention och i föräldrabalken. Principen ska fungera som en rättslig vägledning vid alla utredningar i mål som rör barn, men det finns ingen universellt fastslagen definition av vad som faktiskt är barnets bästa. Utgångspunkterna är att bedöma barnets b
Att en tappande säljare på grund av res judicata hindras att yrka betalning för samma vara i ett senare mål är uppenbart, men för en köpare kan det komma som en överraskning att hon därmed beskurits möjligheten att tala å fel i det sålda godset. Enligt principen om betalningsskyldighetens odelbarhet anses betalningsskyldigheten för en vara eller tjänst odelbar i rättskraftshänseende. HD uttrycker Owing to the principle of res iudicata, it is obvious that a seller of goods who have found himself on the losing side of a court case may not again pursue further litigation against the defendant. For the defendant however, it may come as a surprise that she is thus cut off from the opportunity to initiate a lawsuit against the seller on the grounds of the goods being faulty. According to the pri
Sverige blev medlem i den Europeiska unionen 1995. En viktig del i samarbetet är upprättandet av den inre marknaden. EG-fördraget är garanten för att fri rörlighet för varor, tjänster, kapital och personer ska vara möjlig mellan medlemsstaterna. Några hinder för den fria rörligheten får inte förekomma på dessa områden. EG-domstolen ser till att EG-fördragets bestämmelser efterlevs av medlemsstater

Idag vet man genom flertalet forskningsrapporter och studier att barn som bevittnar våld i nära relationer kan ta lika stor skada som barn som direkt utsätts för misshandel, och att omfattningen av barns våldsexponering i hemmet är stor. Det har i förarbeten uttryckts att dessa barn kan anses vara föremål för en form av psykisk misshandel. Att låta barn bevittna våld är emellertid inte en kriminalWe know from a majority of research studies that children who witness domestic violence can take as much damage as children directly exposed to assault offenses, and that the extent of children's exposure of violence at home are of great proportions. It has been expressed in Swedish legislation that these children can be subject to psychological abuse. Allowing children to witness violence is

Problem/bakgrund: Censur av media är ett karakteristiskt drag för Kinas stat och ett verktyg för att bevara politisk styrning. Samtidigt är media betydelsefullt för att främja ekonomisk och social utveckling. Det är en delikat uppgift för statliga kinesiska censurorgan att finna en medelväg som låter media gynna ekonomisk utveckling utan att riskera omstörtning av den politiska makten. Media är enMedia censorship is a characteristic feature for China’s government in order to retain political legitimacy. Concurrently, media are crucial for a flourishing economic and social development. It’s a delicate task for Chinese governmental censorship departments to find a middle way that promotes economic development without any risk for subversion of power.
