En ökad efterfrågan på miljövänliga energialternativ har resulterat i att allt fler länder börjat utvärdera sina geotermala tillgångar. En bidragande orsak till det ökade geotermala intresset är förändrade krav som ställs på geologin och hydrologin med dagens moderna EGS-anläggningar. Med EGS-tekniken (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) skapar man idag konstgjorda reservoarer, för fjärrvärme- och elprodThe increasing demand for eco-friendly energy alternatives and the changing requirements of state of the art EGS-plants (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) have set the mark for many countries to start evaluating their geothermal assets. By using the EGS-technique, artificial reservoir providing district heating and electricity are created around the world by stimulating the bedrock hydrostatically with

This thesis introduces two management styles labeled “exploitative” and “accommodative” with their fundamental definitions derived from Brenner & Vinacke studies in the 1970’s. Three hypotheses regarding gender, success and age, with the main variable being a gender neutral society, are created and researched through the creation of a questionnaire with the help of statements from the MACH IV,

Throughout history, there have been several theories conducted regarding the internationalisation process, perhaps the majority concerning the traditional company. However, this degree project focuses on the applicability of internationalisation theories in regards to cleantech start-ups with circular ideas, hence a fundamental shift from the traditional linear business model. By conducting qualit

In this case study the author first investigates how environmental and social considerations are being implemented in the Swedish public procurement process. After that the author tries to explain these descriptions using theories on public policy implementation. A distinction is made to the food procurement process in Sweden’s three largest primary municipalities. Through the study of local polic

Andning och sväljning är fundamentala förutsättningar för liv. För att kunna äta och dricka på ett normalt sätt krävs en koordination mellan andning och sväljning. När människan sväljer inhiberas andningen för ett ögonblick och olika studier har visat att andningsuppehållet i de flesta fall föregås och följs av utandning. Utandning efter sväljning kan rensa svalget från eventuell kvarstående föda

Denna uppsats syftar till att granska och diskutera kriminaliseringen av – och tillämpningen av straffrätten på – HIV-smittade personers sexuella kontakter där HIV-smitta överförs, eller riskerar att överföras, från en person till en annan. Upprätthållandet av ett straffhot avseende gärningar med grund i HIV är en kontroversiell fråga, i vart fall inom HIV/AIDS-arbetet på internationell nivå. SverThis paper aims to review and discuss the criminalization of – and the application of criminal law to – a HIV-infected person’s sexual contacts where HIV infection is transmitted, or may be transmitted from one person to another. Maintaining criminal sanctions for acts with a connection to HIV is a controversial issue, at least in HIV/AIDS work at an international level. Sweden, which is one of th

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Drunkningsrisk för skogen? Att mängden vatten i marken är viktig för att granen ska kunna ha så god tillväxt som möjligt är ingen nyhet. Är det för fuktigt drunknar rötterna, på grund av att de inte får en tillräckligt mycket syre. I denna studie har två markberedningsmetoder, högläggning och ingen markberedning, jämförts för att se vilket alternativ som är mestNorway spruce is a coniferous tree with many different fields of application. For an example, they are used as Christmas trees, decoration and as timber or pulpwood. The reason why many foresters in Sweden tend to choose spruce as their main species for plantation is partly because of their fast growth rate and partly because the main products are derived from the actual tree trunks. In the forest
