In addition, we provide an explanation to the reason some industries are more prone to investor sentimen

Surrogate motherhood and whether it should be legalized or not, has been a controversial area in Sweden. Swedish law has not any evident legislation prohibiting surrogate motherhood, but existing law can be interpreted as not allowing such arrangements. Due to that, many couples in Sweden are going abroad in order to implement surrogate arrangements. Therefore, some problems have occurred when the
In this thesis, a holographic model for quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is used to estimate the electromagnetic contribution to the kaon mass difference. The principal ideas of the model are inspired by the AdS/CFT correspondence, which is believed to be exact. The calculation is first performed theoretically, highlighting the expansion of the result into a diagrammatic structure referred to as Witte
This is a master’s thesis about green public procurement (GPP) in the construction sector, based on a legal dogmathic study and a case study. The legal dogmathic part focused on both EU-legislation and on Swedish legislation. The case study was performed on the municipal of Lund to understand how a small authority works with GPP.

The inventory data was related to a set of ecological indicators (mainly
Friköps-, utköps- och budgivningsklausuler i aktieägaravtal är ett ämne som det idag finns undermålig kunskap och forskning om i det svenska näringslivet och associationsrätten.

Under arbetet har en ny emissionsspärr, cTrap undersökts. cTrap appliceras för att förbättra inomhusluften genom att enkelsidigt absorbera önskade biprodukter från byggnadsdelar. cTrap har testats angående dess mögelresistens vid ingjutning mellan en avjämningsmassa och ett betongbjälklag. Totalt har tolv stycken provkroppar gjutits med olika tjocklekar, vilket ger olika förutsättningar för mögelp

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur individer som i sin yrkesroll arbetar med flyktingar tenderar att uppleva medkänsletillfredsställelse, utbrändhet och sekundär traumatisk stress. En kvantitativ enkätstudie utformades baserad på frågeformuläret ProQOL version 5. Formuläret mäter professionell livskvalitet hos individer som arbetar i hjälpande yrken.

Bakgrund: Awareness kan definieras som minnen av sinnesintryck under generell anestesi. Förekomsten av awareness uppskattas till 0,1-0,2 %. Det finns inget tillförlitligt sätt att mäta narkosdjupet på men awareness kan förebyggas genom att om möjligt undvika muskelrelaxation, bevara spontanandning och genom en kontinuerlig administration av sömnmedel. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka anestesisjuksk
While mildly disruptive to the developed world, climate change represents an existential threat to the Pacific Island Countries.

Studien genomfördes med hjälp av observationer där författarna obs
The science of climate change stipulates that fossil fuels must be kept in the ground in order for earth's global temperature to stay below the 1.5 degrees' Celsius increase pre-ordained as safe for continued human civilization, and to avoid catastrophic natural, social, and economic disasters. Although this is a scientifically proven and agreed upon, governments around the world continue
