Shared e-scooters are sometimes presented as a sustainable mobility option, but their environmental impact depends on their utilization. When utilization is low, idle e-scooters increase operational costs and decrease overall energy efficiency. This thesis explores whether neighborhood-level built environment and socio-demographic characteristics influence the usage efficiency of shared e-scooters
The textile industry, dominated by fast fashion, has caused significant environmental and social harm. Its complex global long supply chains, spanning multiple countries and production steps, increases the challenges related to traceability, transparency, and accountability.

I denna uppsats har en rättsdogmatisk metod använts för att undersöka under vilka förutsättningar en enskild, under åberopande av nöd, kan avvärja fara mot ett allmänt intresse. Nödrätten har utvecklats från att enbart ha skyddat individen själv och dennes egendom, till att idag också ge skydd åt allmänna intressen. Enligt förarbetena ska en nödrätt för att avvärja fara mot allmänna intressen endaIn this paper a dogmatic approach has been used in examining the conditions for an individual to protect a public interest under the state of necessity in the Swedish Criminal Code. The state of necessity has evolved from solely protecting the individual and their property to also providing protection for public interests.

Ett stort antal barn i Sverige uppger att de utsätts för våld eller andra övergrepp i sitt eget hem. Detta trots att principen om barnets bästa utgör en viktig grundläggande princip och ska vara avgörande i alla frågor om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Vad som rent faktiskt utgör barnets bästa framkommer inte uttryckligen av lagtexten, utan ska bedömas utifrån varje barns enskilda situation. LagtextA significant number of children in Sweden are reporting that they are subjected to violence or other forms of abuse in their own homes. This is despite the fact that the principle of the best interests of the child constitutes an important fundamental principle and is intended to be decisive in all matters concerning custody, residence, and contact. What constitutes the best interests of the chil
Bakgrund: Venpunktion är en av de vanligaste, mest rädslofyllda procedurerna i barnsjukvården, där upp till 87% av barn upplever svår rädsla. Smärta och rädsla är starkt korrelerade, och icke-farmakologiska metoder är betydelsefulla då farmakologiska metoder sällan är tillräckliga. Syfte: Syftet med denna systematiska litteraturstudie var att översiktligt analysera aktuell forskning gällande effek
Artikel 101 i fördraget om Europeiska unionens funktionssätt (FEUF) gäller för företag och förbjuder företag att ingå avtal som potentiellt kan påverka konkurrensen på marknaden. Konkurrensen på marknaden i Europeiska unionen (EU) är ett mål som EU strävar efter att upprätthålla och skydda. Detta är främst för att upprätthålla en marknad som är rättvis för kunderna, men också för att samhället skaArticle 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) applies to undertakings and prohibits undertakings to enter into an agreement that could potentially affect the competition on the market.
