Stålindustrin står för uppskattningsvis 7–9 % av de globala växthusgasutsläppen. Därför måste stålindustrin bidra till minskningen av växthusgasutsläppen. Under lång tid har stålindustrin fokuserat på mindre och frekventa inkrementella minskningar av CO2 utsläpp genom energieffektiviseringsåtgärder. Dessa åtgärder kommer inte att räcka för att nå målen som är överenskomna i Parisavtalet eftersom uThe steel industry is accountable for approximately 7–9 % of global GHG emissions. Therefore, the steel industry must contribute to the reductiuon of emissions of GHG. For a long time, the industry has focused on minor and frequent incremental reductions of CO2 emissions by implementing energy efficiency measures. However, these types of measures will not be sufficient to reach the goals agreed up

Increased awareness regarding nutrition, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare has sparked a trend to shift away from animal proteins. The phenomenon is referred to as the protein shift and has resulted in a higher demand for alternative protein sources. This dissertation aims to study potential opportunities and challenges of using recombinant food proteins expressed in Escherichia col

The planning process involves the production of a vast amount of data by different actors. During the evolvement of a detailed development plan the municipality relies on data from geographic information system (GIS), while the developer produces data by building information modeling (BIM). The development of systems for GIS- and BIM-data have been parallel and for different purposes. The municipa

Five Xantha-m chlorophyll-deficient mutants which are lethal after the seedling stage have been already discovered in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and a candidate gene, SecA1, was recently identified by Bulked segregant analysis (BSA). SecA1 protein participates in the stroma-to-lumen protein transfer across the thylakoid membrane. In this study, the Xantha-m gene was analyzed. Western blotting exp

I dagens informationssamhälle vill medborgarna kunna ta del av så mycket information som möjligt, varför visselblåsning har blivit ett mycket uppmärksammat ämne. Visselblåsare utgör ett viktigt kontrollmoment i samhället som historiskt sett avslöjat uppgifter och skandaler av stort allmänintresse. Denna framställning syftar i en första del till att i ett rättsutvecklingsperspektiv redogöra för de In the age of information people want to get hold of as much information as possible, which is probably why whistleblowing has become such a hot topic. Whistleblowers constitute an important body of control in society which historically has revealed information and scandals of great public interest. The aim of this essay is two-folded. First off the aim is to in a perspective of legislative develo

A well-functioning public transport is a central part of a sustainable society. Public transport fills not only an important function for the movement of people, public transport also provides a large economic benefit in terms of security and environmental benefits. It is therefore of great importance that public transport has the ability to provide good and qualitative trips so that it can seriou

Enligt artikel 6 Europakonventionen har varje person som befinner sig under en medlemsstats jurisdiktion rätt till en rättvis rättegång. Till de rättigheter som härvidlag följer hör bland annat oskyldighetspresumtionen, innebärande att varje person som står anklagad för brott tillförsäkras att bli betraktad som oskyldig fram till att vederbörandes skuld lagligen fastställts. En förutsättning för oArticle 6 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (European Convention) guarantees every person charged with a criminal offence under the jurisdiction of a Member State the right to a fair trial. Thereby, for a trial to be considered fair, certain general requirements need to be considered. Essential elements in this matter are the presumption of inno

Studiens målsättning har varit att ur ett energibesparingsperspektiv samt ekonomiskt perspektiv utvärdera termostatiska cirkulationsventiler (termiska ventiler) som används i varmvattencirkulation (VVC). De frågeställningar som belystes i studien var hur värmeförluster från VVC med termiska respektive fasta ventiler varierar, om det är ekonomiskt lönsamt att installera termiska ventiler jämfört meThe study's objective was, from an energy-saving and economical perspective, evaluate thermostatic circulation valves (thermal valves) used in hot water circulation (HWC). The issues that have been highlighted in the study were how the heat losses from HWC with thermal valves varies from HWC with fixed valves, whether it is economically viable to install thermal valves compared to fixed valves

The symbolic elite discourse on the safety and viability of using the insecticide DDT for combating malaria in Africa is marked by extreme dissonance. While some positions within the debate on using DDT for malaria prevention are quite nuanced, others are more extreme if not one-dimensional. The ones who tend to hold more nuanced or centrist positions on using DDT for controlling malaria are often

The purpose of the study was to examine how the district court describes the plaintiff in rape convictions in order to gain a deeper understanding of how the district court reasons about the plaintiff’s credibility. The material used for the study consisted of ten district court verdicts from one bigger and one smaller city in Sweden where the verdict was given in 2015 and 2016. The material was a

Den som mottagit en förmånersättning enligt SFB kan bli återbetalningsskyldig om det visar sig att utbetalningen varit felaktig. Även om den felaktiga ersättningen inte orsakats av den försäkrade själv kan det bedömas att det skäligen borde ha funnits en insikt om att utbetalningen varit felaktig. När det finns en god man eller förvaltare förordnad för den försäkrade uppstår en oklarhet i vems ins

The rapid development of the technological world requires a corresponding adaptation in various industries. However, the construction industry is a step behind other industries when it comes to implementing new technical methods, and this is for several reasons. Some examples of these: 1. Conservative culture: For a long time, traditional construction methods have been an unwritten rule in the co

In 2018, the European Union (EU) adopted a revised version of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED 2). The directive introduced new objectives for the EU’s renewable energy sector and aimed to support the provision of renewable energy in the EU. After its adoption, the directive would be implemented in each EU member state. This thesis analyzes Sweden’s implementation of the RED 2 and applies a the

I dagens affärsliv, med anledning av att ingåendet av ett avtal ska löpa så smidigt som möjligt, har det utvecklats olika typer av förhandlingsinstrument. Ett sådan instrument är ett s.k. letter of intent. Genom ett letter of intent kan parterna i det prekontraktuella skedet manifestera sin avsikt om att i framtiden ingå avtal. Syftet med ett letter of intent kan sägas vara att på ett ändamålsenliIn today's business world, to ensure that the conclusion of the agreement runs as smoothly as possible, various types of negotiation instruments have been developed. One such instrument is a letter of intent. Through a letter of intent, the parties can manifest their intention to enter into agreements in the future at the pre-contractual stage. The purpose of a letter of intent can be said to

This study examines how the natural world – earth, water, air, and animals – function in Jerome's Letter 108 (c. 404 CE) and the Piacenza Pilgrim's Itinerarium (c. 560-570 CE). Both late antique Christian pilgrimage narratives have been extensively analyzed for their political, architectural, and hagiographic dimensions. However, their ecological perspectives have been consistently overloo

Efforts to regulate transnational corporations in the context of human rights are not new. They traced back to the early 1970s, when the United Nations first initiated attempts to study the impact of transnational corporations on the international development process and proposed a United Nations Code of Conduct on Transnational Corporations, an initiative that ultimately stalled. A renewed attemp

Storskaliga solcellsparker rör upp mycket känslor och åsikterna kring parkerna varierar kraftigt, men faktum är att de är en viktig pusselbit i den energiomställning som Sverige står inför. Problematiken med storskalig solkraft är att parkerna tar upp stora landarealer och i södra Sverige, där elbristen är som störst, råder det även störst platsbrist. Ett alternativ som har börjat undersökas de seWe are at a critical point where the carbon emissions worldwide must cease. One way to do so is to switch to renewable energy and become less dependent on fossil fuels. Solar power is an energy source which can be expanded rather quickly, and has become more common in the past years. The issue with large scale solar power plants is that they take up a lot of space, which leads to conflict of inter

I ett utredningsbetänkande som publicerades i januari 2024 föreslås att ett nytt brott ska införas i 17 kap. brottsbalken. Det föreslagna brottet är avsett att specifikt ta sikte på förolämpningar som riktas mot tjänstemän. Det finns emellertid redan ett förolämpningsbrott i 5 kap. 3 § brottsbalken som omfattar förolämpningar mot såväl tjänstemän som icke-tjänstemän. I doktrin uttrycks att krimiIn a report from a government inquiry, published in January 2024, a new criminal provision is proposed for inclusion in Chapter 17 of the Swedish Penal Code. The proposed offense aims to specifically address insults directed towards officials. However, there is already an offense for insults in Chapter 5, Section 3 of the Penal Code, encompassing insults directed at both officials and non-official
