Like all businesses there is also an interest in the fire service to always improve the efficiency of its work. This can be done in many different ways, for example by changing the existing formation of the local rescue organization or through the continued development of current methods and equipment that firefighters use. Most rescue services across Sweden are currently using low pressure pumps
Unga lagöverträdare har en särskild ställning inom straffrätten. För de per-soner som vid brottet var under 21 år tas åldern i beaktande vid straffmät-ningen och straffet lindras. Detta har sin bakgrund i de idéer om straffets uppfostrande verkan som växte fram runt slutet av 1800-talet. Även idag finns tanken att en ung människa anses vara outvecklad och sakna sådan ansvarsförmåga som vuxna normaJuvenile offenders have a special status in Swedish criminal law. Those cul-prits whose age is below the threshold of 21 years receive mitigated punish-ments because their age is taken into regard when the meting out of punish-ment is done. The reasons for this can be traced back to the end of the nine-teenth century, when the concept that a punishment may have educational effects emerged. Today,
Vascular plant observances were compiled for 10 well-documented parishes throughout southernmost Sweden from published floras, herbarium specimens, modern inventories, and a large citizen-science database to provide presence/absence of species from 1800-2020 at the decade level. A regionally-specific database of species-specific plant traits and ecological indicator values was used to examine flor
Context Software quality issues are commonly reported when offshoring software development. Value-based software engineering addresses this by ensuring key stakeholders have a common understanding of quality. Objective This work seeks to understand the levels of alignment between key stakeholder groups within a company on the priority given to aspects of software quality developed as part of an
The anticipated climate changes are predicted to alter the precipitation patterns in Sweden. Increased episodes of intense short-duration rainfall and higher intensities of day long-duration rainfall are expected. Road sections are often a target of flooding, causing impassable roads, due to the lack of capacity of drainage systems. One of the factors determining the water flow to a depression is
Electric road systems (ERS) provide electric power to vehicles en route (dynamic charging) and can reduce the need for onboard battery capacity. This thesis sets out to examine the power demand of an ERS and the integration of energy storage in its power supply for grid load alleviation and backup power. Specifically, the analysis is based on the ongoing project to build a permanent ERS on a 21 km
The following research explores a critical intersection between the work of mine action and the climate. It addresses the amplified impacts of climate change on water in Yemen, a country afflicted by protracted conflict and growing climate threats. This study showcases the necessity of integrating climate considerations into the mine action strategies and underpins the impact of climate change on
Denna uppsats undersöker huruvida Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) kan implementeras mot bakgrund av den tolkning och tillämpning av vinstsyftet som följer 3 kap. 3 § inom svensk aktiebolagsrätt (2005:551). Enligt aktiebolagslagen ska bolagsledningen handla i aktieägarnas ekonomiska intresse. Samtidigt ålägger direktivet företag att genomföra åtgärder som på kort sikt kan hThis thesis examines whether the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) can be implemented in the context of the interpretation and application of the profit maximization principle under Chapter 3, Section 3 of the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551). Under the Companies Act, corporate boards are mandated to act in the financial interest of shareholders, while the directive imposes
Länge var idrotten något unionsrätten endast berörde som försiktigast. Den europeiska idrottsmodellen som bygger på öppna tävlingar och en pyramid-struktur byggd på enfederationsprincipen med europeiska UEFA och inter-nationella FIFA i toppen sågs länge som helig och oantastbar. Men sedan Bosman-domen på 90-talet har EU-domstolen i allt högre grad tagit sig an sporten. Kulmen (hittills?) nåddes deFor a long time, sport was something that EU’s legal framework only touched on with great caution. The European model of sport, based on open competitions and a pyramid structure built on the single-federation princi-ple with continental UEFA and international FIFA at the top, was long seen as sacred and inviolable. But since the Bosman ruling in the 1990s, the Eu-ropean Court of Justice has incre
In the search for neutron antineutron oscillations (n → ̄n) in the proposed 200m long NNBAR beamline, it is imperative that the pions originating from the antineutron annihilation events can be detected outside of the vacuum chamber. The purpose of the design of the vacuum chamber then becomes to minimise the effect of the chamber while also adhering to the requirements of the pressure vessels. To
This chapter outlines some of the implications of nondeterminacy, however it is explained, for rational choice. The chapter demonstrates that when nondeterminacy is present, some decision strategies actualize dynamic choice problems and resolutional remainder, while others violate basic requirements of rationality, such as basic contraction consistency and acyclicity. It is hypothesized that clues
In this study, we investigate how prosodic cues are used when an overt pronoun is associated with either a subject or an object antecedent in Italian and in Swedish. To address this question, 28 Italian speakers and 28 Swedish speakers completed a production task, by reading out loud globally-ambiguous sentences containing overt pronouns and a control interpretation task, where they selected eithe
The general consensus for learning and memory, including in the cerebellum, is that modification of synaptic strength via long-term potentiation (LTP) or long-term depression (LTD) are the primary mechanisms for the formation of memories. Recent findings suggest additional cellular mechanisms – referred to as ‘intrinsic plasticity’ – where a neuron's membrane excitability intrinsically changes. Th
Background: Sweden is a long-standing and significant contributor to overseas development aid. This commitment to global health and development is part of Sverigebilden, or the view of Sweden in the world that is formally promoted by the Swedish government. Sweden is seen by many in the global health community as leader on human rights and health and has traditionally been one of the most engaged
Kelp are main iodine accumulators in the ocean, and their growth and photosynthesis are likely to benefit from elevated seawater CO2 levels due to ocean acidification. However, there are currently no data on the effects of ocean acidification on iodine metabolism in kelp. As key primary producers in coastal ecosystems worldwide, any change in their iodine metabolism caused by climate change will p
Agrobiodiversity—the variation within agricultural plants, animals, and practices—is often suggested as a way to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on crops [S. A. Wood et al., Trends Ecol. Evol. 30, 531–539 (2015)]. Recently, increasing research and attention has focused on exploiting the intraspecific genetic variation within a crop [Hajjar et al., Agric. Ecosyst. Environ. 123, 261–
As continuous access to energy is necessary for survival, the level of energy stores has a strong effect on fitness and survival. Behaviors by which energy stores are acquired and built up are known as foraging, and this is a very common topic in animal behavior studies. It is especially important for flying organisms to finely tune the level of energy reserves they carry. While most animals will
Palaearctic steppes evolved under the Cenozoic cold arid climate and megaherbivore pressure. A large portion of the biome persisted into the Holocene but has recently been subjected to human land use alternation. Pseudophilotes bavius (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) is a steppe specialist sporadically distributed in Eastern Europe and Pontic-Caspian region (from Transylvania to Southern Urals), the Balk
This thesis examines how Region Skåne and Region Stockholm work to comply with the Swedish care guarantee (vårdgarantin), with a particular focus on the management of waiting lists and the referral of patients to other regions. The study adopts a qualitative and comparative case study design based on document analysis of official reports, policy documents, and statistical data. The analysis is gui
