Miljöanpassad offentlig upphandling betraktas idag som en viktig del i främjandet av en positiv miljö- och samhällsutveckling. Detta beror dels på den offentliga upphandlingens stora ekonomiska betydelse, dels på att miljöhänsyn är en aspekt av offentlig upphandling som tillmäts allt större betydelse. Genom att ställa miljökrav i offentlig upphandling kan upphandlande myndigheter påverka utbudet aToday, green public procurement is considered an important part of a positive environmental and social development. This is partly because of the large economic importance of public procurement and partly because environmental considerations constitute an aspect of public procurement with increased significance. By imposing environmental requirements, contracting authorities can affect the supply

Denna uppsats tar utgångspunkt i hur och varför kriminalisering sker och undersöker vad som blivit resultatet av detta i fråga om människohandel och det för 2018 nya brottet människoexploatering.

Uppsatsen beskriver hur man genom lagstiftning kan skydda de intressen sThis essay examines how and why the criminalization of acts take form in general and the specific outcome of this in regards to the regulation of human trafficking and the new provision on human exploitation. The essay describes the exploitation that occurs in society today from a perspective that aims to recognize the females being exploited. The essay describes how one can protect interests that

Fildelningsteknologin revolutionerade internet i början av 1990-talet. I rask takt har fildelningsnätverken utvecklats och utbudet av olovligen tillgängliggjorda filer är större än någonsin. För vanliga internetanvändare innebär nyss nämnda gratis tillgång till film och musik vid efterfrågan. Det kan emellertid medföra stora ekonomiska förluster för rättighetshavarna till verken. Digitaliseringen File sharing technology revolutionized the Internet in the early 1990s. Different networks evolve at a rapid pace and the supply of illegally spread files are greater than ever. For common Internet users this means free, on-demand access to movies and music. However, it may cause major financial losses to the right-holders of copyrighted works, since the digitalization often times means losing con

Managing water in urban areas is an ever increasingly complex challenge. Technology enables sustainable urban water management and with integrated smart metering solu- tions, massive amounts of water consumption data from the end users can be collected. However, the possibility of generating data from the end user holds no value in itself. It is with the use of data analysis the vast amount of the

Slutsatsen blir att rätten till hjälp med semesterresor är förbehållen de med störst stödbehov och detta stödbehov måste vara konstant och det beskrivs inte rättsligIn this essay, the legal situation regarding the possibility of receiving assistance for traveling abroad, for the LSS (Law on Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) target group, is examined. The investigation is carried out using both a legal realist dogmatics method and a social legal dogmatics approach. The conclusion is that the right to assistance with vacation

Forests offer vital ecosystem services but face threats from various stressors, including climate change and insect infestations. The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) poses significant risks to Norway Spruce (Picea abies). Early detection of bark beetle infestations is crucial for damage control but challenging with traditional methods. This study aims to utilize modern remote sens

Road verges can support high densities of flowers and could therefore provide new opportunities for the conservation of flower-visiting insects. One way of optimizing road verges for vascular plant diversity is to adjust mowing regimes, but to date it is unclear how this affects flower-visiting insects. Furthermore, for mobile organisms like wild bees and butterflies, there is a risk that the bene

Environmental change is disrupting mutualisms between organisms worldwide. Reported declines in insect populations and changes in pollinator community compositions in response to land use and other environmental drivers have put the spotlight on the need to conserve pollinators. While this is often motivated by their role in supporting crop yields, the role of pollinators for reproduction and resu

The Fennoscandian boreal and mountain regions harbour a wide range of vegetation types, from boreal forest to high alpine tundra and barren soils. The area is facing a rise in air temperature above the global average and changes in temperature and precipitation patterns. This is expected to alter the Fennoscandian vegetation composition and change the conditions for areal land use such as forestry

Production of agricultural biofuels is expected to rise due to increasing climate change mitigation ambitions. Policy interventions promoting targeted bioenergy solutions can be motivated by the large environmental externalities present in agricultural systems and the local context of biomass production co-benefits. Introducing energy crops in crop rotations in arable land with depleted Soil Organ

STUDY QUESTIONDoes endometriosis and/or adenomyosis, diagnosed using the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) group and the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) group revised definitions, impact cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) after three consecutive IVF or ICSI treatments?SUMMARY ANSWERWomen with endometriosis and/or adenomyosis, as diagnosed using transvaginal ultras

Boreal forests emit terpenoid biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) that significantly affect atmospheric chemistry. Our understanding of the variation of BVOC species emitted from boreal ecosystems is based on relatively few datasets, especially at the ecosystem-level. We conducted measurements to obtain BVOC flux observations above the boreal forest at the ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observati

Increasing land-use intensity is a main driver of biodiversity loss in farmland, but measuring proxies for land-use intensity across entire landscapes is challenging. Here, we develop a novel method for the assessment of the impact of land-use intensity on biodiversity in agricultural landscapes using remote sensing parameters derived from the Sentinel-2 satellites. We link crop phenology and prod

Blog: A resourcification manifestoIn a world of nearly 10 billion people, the competition for resources is likely to become fierce. Food, energy, and material, but also power, freedom and knowledge. Where will these resources come from? Our answer is: social processes that turn things into resources. Resources do not simply exist. They become, and we label resourcification the social processes of

Snowpack atop sea ice plays a vital role in the Arctic heat and energy balance by reducing the energy transfer between the atmosphere and the ocean. This study presents an improved snow depth retrieval model over Arctic multiyear ice (MYI) from the Microwave Radiometer Imager (MWRI) data of the Fengyun-3 (FY-3) series satellites using the optimal machine learning approach identified. Validation ag

Globally, the food and energy demands of the growing global population are rising and require increased agricultural production. Additionally, climate change will have adverse effects on agricultural productivity. Technological change can contribute to closing yield gaps and reducing post-harvest losses, but needs to be facilitated through investments and education. Considering the multiple driver

Aim: Identifying how climate change, habitat loss, and corridors interact to influence species survival or extinction is critical to understanding macro-scale biodiversity dynamics under changing environments. In North America, the ice-free corridor was the only major pathway for northward migration by megafaunal species during the last deglaciation. However, the timing and interplay among the lat

Aim: To determine how species richness gradients—commonly considered universal—vary across the phylogenetic hierarchy of birds and mammals, and to uncover how clade age and size predetermine the gradients. Location: Global. Time Period: Last 120 million years. Taxa Studied: Birds and mammals (~15,000 species). Methods: We used large-scale phylogenies of birds and mammals and captured the species r

Prästgårdsängens förskola i Kungsbacka byggdes år 2008 med passivhusteknik. På förskolan går barn i åldrarna mellan 1-3 och 4-5 år, där många aktiviteter bedrivs både utomhus och inomhus. Detta leder till att det blir mycket rörelse mellan inne och utemiljö. Förskolan består av ett plan och stor del av elförsörjningen kommer från de solceller som finns installerade på 220 m2 av skolans tak. Då intPrästgårdsängens preschool in Kungsbacka was built in 2008 with passive house technology. At the school there are children going aged between 1-3 and 4-5 years, where many activities are conducted both indoors and outdoors. This leads to that there will be a lot of movement between indoor and outdoor environment. The preschool consists of a flat and much of the electricity supply comes from the so

For some time Sweden has avoided the involvement of therapy dogs in health and social care. In spite of other countries who’s been using dogs for several years, Sweden has been sceptical of the alleged positive influence that dogs supposedly can have on humans. In countries like England, Austria and the US you can find educations on university level for dogs to be used when treating humans. Up unt
