Popular Abstract in English Over thirty years of experience shows that energy efficiency is the easiest, fastest, and cheapest strategy to reduce today’s rampant energy use. To enhance energy efficiency, governmental intervention and business strategies are needed. The question of which governmental policies are the most effective to support energy efficiency remains unanswered. Policy learning anExperience shows that energy efficiency improvements are the most cost-effective path to meeting global energy challenges. To promote energy efficiency, various policy instruments have been in place since the 1970s. Nevertheless, energy efficiency improvements still lag behind their potential in the building sector, which indicates that there is a lack of knowledge about the performance of policie

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. Increased accumulations of senile plaques and tangles are the known neuropathological hallmarks of AD. However, the exact triggers for such protein accumulations, leading to cognitive impairment and important morphological alteration in AD, are still elusive. Ageing and genetic risk factors do not completely explain the global increase

The main focus of this study is the place of the Holocaust in the Czech and Slovak historical cultures during ”the long 1990s”, i.e. between the fall of the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia at the end of 1989 and the entry of both the Czech and Slovak Republics into the European Union in 2004. When morality and conscience have been placed in the centre of new European politics instead of ideolog

Upphovsmannabegreppet och skyddsramen för verk som genereras av artificiell intelligens (AI) har under de senaste åren varit ett omdebatterat ämne inom den juri-diska sfären. AI har fått en allt större roll i samhället och användningen av AI-system för att skapa kreativa verk har tilltagit. Detta har lett till flera utmaningar inom upphovsrätten, särskilt möjligheten att skydda sådana kulturföremå

Dispositionsprincipen är en grundläggande princip i svensk processrätt. Prin-cipen innebär att rätten endast ska eller får företa en viss processhandling på yrkande av en eller båda parterna. Principen gäller i såväl domstolsprocesser som i skiljetvister. I svensk processrätt kommer dispositionsprincipen främst till uttryck i 17 kap. 3 § rättegångsbalken, vilken i första meningen föreskri-ver att The principle of party-disposition is a fundamental principle in Swedish pro-cedural law. The principle means that the court should only undertake a cer-tain procedural action upon the request of one or both parties. This principle applies to both court proceedings and arbitration disputes. In Swedish pro-cedural law, the principle of party-disposition is primarily expressed in Chapter 17, Section

Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a big consideration in the automotive industry. In order to create an as pleasant driving experience as possible for the driver, NVH should be minimized. One of the sources of NVH comes from the transmission due to the synchronization process. When shifting between gears, the speeds of the target gear and the output shaft it is supported by, have to be synch

I Helsingborgs stad, likt i många andra större städer i Sverige, råder det platsbrist samtidigt som grönytor försvinner i takt med att nybyggnationer ökar. Helsingborgs stad har som vision att vara en skapande, pulserande, gemensam, global och balanserad stad för både människor och företag år 2035. Den nya urbaniseringstrenden ställer därmed krav på stadens uppbyggnad och planering. Vidare har gröIn Helsingborg, as in many other major cities in Sweden, there is a shortage of space as green space disappears while new construction increases. The municipality of Helsingborg has a vision to be a creative, vibrant, common, global and balanced city for both people and companies by 2035. The new urbanization trend places a demand on the city's construction and planning. Furthermore, greenery

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is twofold. With a stakeholder perspective, the paper has the ambition of understanding why firms decide to invest in ethics. In this sense, we look at such investments both through the lens of mitigating downside risks as well as the lens of creating competitive advantage and shared value. In the light of ethical investments, the paper also has the purpose of e

Både i Sverige och utomlands finns det ett behov av tvistlösning som alternativ till domstolsprövning. I Sverige har sedan 1917 Stockholms Handelskammares Skiljedomsinstitut fungerat som institut för alternativ tvistlösning genom skiljeförfarande och en gångbar lagstiftning på området har i Sverige funnits sedan 1929. Skiljeförfarandet som tvistlösningssätt präglas av fyra essentiella hörnstenar -

Föroreningar på en fastighet berör fastighetsägaren på olika sätt. En direkt effekt av föroreningarna kan vara att fastighetsägarens möjligheter att använda marken begränsas och att värdet på fastigheten påverkas. Det kan också få till följd att fastigheten blir svår att avyttra. Framförallt kan en förorening på fastigheten innebära att fastighetsägaren riskerar miljörättsliga krav på att vidta avPollution of real estate affects the owner in different ways. As a direct effect, the possibilities of using the land may be limited, and the value of the real estate can be influenced. The real estate may also be difficult to sell. Above all, pollution of real estate may involve environmental legal demands on the owner to repair the damage. The main rule of the Swedish environmental code is that

Den 14 juli 2023 inledde EU-kommissionen ett överträdelseärende mot Sverige och framhöll att de svenska reglerna för preliminärbeskattning strider mot friheten att tillhandahålla tjänster. De omtvistade reglerna trädde i kraft 2021 och innebar att ett tidigare undantag från skyldigheten att göra skatteavdrag för ersättningar till utländska tjänsteleverantörer utan ett fast driftställe i Sverige slOn 14 July 2023, the European Commission initiated infringement proceedings against Sweden, arguing that the Swedish rules on preliminary taxation are incompatible with the freedom to provide services. The disputed rules, which entered into force in 2021, abolished a previous exemption from the obligation to withhold tax on payments to foreign service providers without a permanent establishment in

Throughout the last decades, the social responsibility of corporations has undergone significant changes. From revolving around self-regulation, voluntariness, and soft law, the regulatory landscape has expanded to involve harder demands on corporations, such as mandatory sustainability due diligence. This thesis considers these changes as a hardening of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and

Three major cellulases, cellobiohydrolase I and II (CBH I and II) and endoglucanase II (EG II) of Trichoderma reesei have been purified by ion-exchange chromatography in an FPLC system. Microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel) was hydrolysed by the single enzymes and by equimolar mixtures of CBH I-CBH II and CBH I-EG II. Enzyme adsorption was followed indirectly by selectively quantifying the en

Huvudregeln för bestämmandet av hyran i svensk rätt är att hyran ska vara till beloppet bestämd av parterna i avtalet. Bestämmelsen återfinns i 12 kap. 19 § Jordabalken (1970:994). Som undantag till detta kan hyran för lokal antingen bestämmas genom en omsättningsklausul, genom klausuler för el, värme och vatten eller genom annan beräkningsgrund. Vid avtal som strider mot paragrafen framgår enligtThe main rule for determining the rent in Swedish rental law is that the rent shall be for the amount determined. The provision is found in the 12 chapter 19 § Jordabalken (1970: 994). As exceptions, the rent for a local can either be determined by a turnover clause, by electricity, heat and water clauses or by other calculation basis. In the event of an agreement that goes against the paragraph,

Abstract The unprecedented fast-changing environment, embracing new information, manufacturing and process technologies in the context of the increasing globalisation of product and service market has had significant effect on the nature of work and subsequently affected career management of employees. Organizations today embark on many changes internally and externally in order to strengthen ther

What is a, in the school, participating parent? That is the main question of this essay and study. The study involves interviews with 19 parents of children in the age 10-13, in the Karlshamn-region in Blekinge. Two schools in the region were included: one in the centre of the town Karlshamn and one in a smaller community on the countryside, outside Karlshamn. We also met with the principals of th

De utanförstående arbetstagarna är en grupp som växer på arbetsmarknaden, men som under en lång tid har varit i en väldigt liten minoritet. En stor del av arbetsrätten kan därför verka vara avsedd för de andra aktörerna på arbetsmarknaden, då behovet av att tillgodose en så liten grupps intressen förmodligen inte har haft lika hög prioritet som andra företeelser på arbetsmarknaden och arbetsrättenEmployees who are not members of a trade union is a group that is growing on the labor market, but for a long time they have been in a very small minority. A substantial part of the labor law would therefore appear to be intended for the other actors on the labor market, since the need to cater to a small group's interests probably have not had as high a priority as other aspects of the labor
