Miljöcertifieringar för byggnader, anläggningar och stadsdelar tillämpas i dag i allt större utsträckning för att säkerställa hållbar utveckling i den byggda miljön. Deras främsta syfte är att främja sociala och ekonomiska fördelar samt uppnå minimal negativ påverkan på människa och miljö. Kraven för olika certifieringsnivåer är detaljerade och uppbyggda på tydliga betygssystem. Samtidigt har begrThis study aims to, through a comparative analysis, examine if there are any similarities between environmental certification schemes and the nature-inspired design tool Cradle to Cradle in environmental performance when building residential houses. The analysis shows that two of the four examined certification systems, LEED and BREEAM, have several traits that are similar to C2C. However, these s

Startups. Why are the odds of surviving the initial stages so low? While the internet revolution has made it easier to start up, for example by democratizing investments through crowdfunding, the rate of success is still daunting. Why? Ultimately, the world is still being built by humans. That means a group effort is required. To realize this, leadership is an undeniably crucial element. Yet, not

Plenty of research has been made on strategic asset allocation, but the focus on foreign market exposure is sparse. This paper analyzes how the investor’s portfolio choice is affected when exposed to four foreign assets, one domestic asset, and the risk free interest rate. Two models are developed using dynamic programming for an investor with iso-elastic utility and lognormal asset returns. The p

According to international law, under the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (CRSR), refugees have the right to seek asylum in the host country they arrive to. However, there are many democratic states today that view it as their privilege to select which refugees who have the right to enter their territory. In order to do research on this subject I will use Norman Fairclough’s critical

This thesis is a feminist-critical study of the marital metaphor in Hosea 1-3. My prime interest is the woman and her identity. I ask whether she is a prostitute or married to the prophet. My conclusion is that the text does not strife to tell us her identity, she is merely a prop in the prophets play. Her prostitution is there to shame and to blame other men. These men are the ruling class of Isr

When studying in Brussels, Belgium, we first encountered the term “Scandinavian Exceptionalism”. We came to understand that many western countries are experiencing an increased punitiveness; high imprisonment rates, overcrowded prisons, relatively bad prison conditions as opposed to the Scandinavian countries. Penal excess and exceptionalism are often seen within the framework of welfarism and thu

This study investigates how regionalism and regional identity is perceived and promoted in the Oresund region including a specific focus on Malmö, particularly from the perspective of the Oresund committee as an actor. The relevance of this focus is sanctioned by reported growth of regionalism in the Oresund region, and the sparse amount of research in whether organizations and their work could be

Våld och hot mot polis blir allt grövre. De kriminella ser inte längre något hinder mot att angripa en polis. Anledningen därtill är att en svensk polis p.g.a. yrkets skyldigheter också förväntas tåla mer än resten av den svenska befolkningen varför straffen inte står anpassade till de utförda brotten. Det förstärkta straffskyddet som är lagstadgat genom bestämmelser i det 17 ka-pitlet brottsbalkeViolence and the threat of violence against police officers has become greater in the recent years. This is due to the general belief that police en-forcement does not stand as great of a deterrent to criminal activity as it was once believed and therefore criminals have become more aggressive to-wards Swedish police. The increased crime against police officials has not seen a simultaneous increas

En av cykelns största fördelar, förutom att den bidrar till ett hållbart transportsystem, är att den är snabb och smidig att använda. Biltrafikens köer eller kollektivtrafikens tidtabeller påverkar sällan cykelns möjligheter att ta sig fram. Trots att cykeln är gjord för att vara i rörelse står den parkerad större delen av tiden. I examensarbetet ”Cykelparkering vid bostaden – En studie av MalmöcyThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate the needs and preferences of cyclists when it comes to bicycle parking at the residence. Although knowledge of bicycle traffic is growing and the Swedish Transport Administration states that bicycle traffic needs to be emphasized, the importance of bicycle parking is often overlooked, especially in residential areas. This thesis shows that good bicycle

Uppsatsen undersöker ur ett aktiemarknadsrättsligt och ett aktiebolagsrättsligt perspektiv hur styrelsen i Haldex Aktiebolag, Haldex, agerade i samband med ett uppköpserbjudande. I samband med uppköpserbjudandet bestämde sig styrelsen efter viss tid att inte längre samarbeta med budgivaren eftersom bolaget led skada i och med uppköpserbjudandet.

Uppsatsens syfte är att med utgångspunkt i NJA 2017 s. 1195 undersöka vilken verkan köparens passivitet får beträffande rätten att åberopa fel, när säljaren har handlat grovt vårdslöst eller i strid mot tro och heder. I NJA 2017 s. 1195 formulerade Högsta domstolen en på allmänna principer, och då främst på principer om lojalitetsöverväganden, grundad passivitetsregel. Den föreskriver att om säljaThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate the effect of the buyer’s non-performance, in terms of the right to claim defects, when the seller has acted with gross negligence or in violation of faith and honour. In NJA 2017 s. 1195 the Supreme Court formulated a non-performance-rule based on general principles, especially on principles of loyalty. It prescribes that if the seller has acted with g

Ersättning enligt entreprenadavtal utgår i huvudsak som fast ersättning eller enligt löpande räkning. Enligt svensk rätt är entreprenadavtal inte lagreglerade utan istället tillämpas standardavtal. Standardavtalet AB 04 reglerar ersättning enligt löpande räkning genom självkostnadsprincipen som anges i AB 04 kap. 6 § 9-10. Enligt självkostnadsprincipen utgår ersättning enligt en av AB 04 kap. 6 §Construction Contracts are not regulated by Swedish law. Instead, the construction industry uses standard agreements. Construction Contracts usually state that compensation shall be paid as a fixed award or performed on an open account basis. The Swedish standard agreement AB 04 regulates compensation performed on an open account basis in AB 04 chapter 6 paragraphs 9-10. AB 04 chapter 6 paragraph

The complexities of organizational coordination’s communicative constitution: A qualitative study on coordinators activities in BPO-environments. The notion of organizational coordination has a limited view of language and communication since scholars usually refer to communication purely as a referential system. Rather problematic is that the notion of business process outsourcing refers to organ

The effect of measurement errors on the performance of adaptive control charts has rarely been investigated in the univariate case and, as far as we know, it has not been investigated at all in the multivariate case. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of measurement errors on the VSS (Variable Sample Sizes) Hotelling’s T2 control chart. To do so, we suggest using six different performance measu

This special issue contains a collection of papers that study how children are affected by their sibship size, using anthropometric data. The varied results provide a wealth of new knowledge and show that this influence is context-specific. In this paper I discuss the methodological challenges that we will encounter continuing research on resource dilution in families. The most important challenge

This study discusses the European Union´s influence regarding the Cyprus Conflict since 1998, when the EU began the official membership negotioations with Cyprus. The first aim of the study is to investigate in what way the EU has tried to practice influence concerning the Greek- and Turk Cypriots, but also Turkey, since Turkey is seen as a relevant party in the conflict. The second aim of the stu

The focus of this thesis is a specific part of Swedish library policy called library plans. A library plan is a political document created with the purpose of constituting a platform for co-operation between different library systems within a municipality, e.g. through determining and analysing the needs for library activities within municipalities in Sweden. This thesis´ aim is to investigate wh

The history of commercial exploitation of fish stocks is replete with instances of over-exploitation and stock collapse. Particularly in situations where little is known about a species or a particular fish stock, unregulated expansion into new fisheries may effectively wipe out a species or stock before its existence is even formally recognised or understood. Globally, there has been a strong int
