Öresundsregionen är en mycket aktiv region med över tjugotusen människor som arbetspendlar dagligen. Rent fysiskt är det idag lättare att pendla över Öresund än förr, tack vare Öresundsbron.

Småvatten är trots sin ringa storlek ekologiskt betydelsefulla och fungerar som habitat för många arter. För groddjur spelar de en avgörande roll för fortplantningen eftersom småvatten används som lekmiljö. Populationer av groddjur minskar idag över hela världen och två av de största hoten mot groddjur är habitatförlust och habitatfragmentering. I Sverige har många småvatten försvunnit som en effeDespite their size, small ponds are ecologically important and act as a habitat for many species.

The Kosi River, called “the Sorrow of Bihar”, lies in Nepal and northern India, where it has caused devastating floods throughout the years. The river is known for its dynamic flows and high sediment load, leading to one of the largest alluvial fans in the world as well as avulsive shifting. The monsoonal dynamics in the region causes high fluctuation in the river discharge, with almost annual flo

Examensarbetet redogör för hur ett rekonstruktionsförfarande går till enligt gällande rätt och redogör även till viss del för den kritik som har riktats mot förfarandet och hur lagstiftaren har gått tillväga för att möta denna kritik. Bland annat anses förfarandet vara långsamt och dyrt. Det har vidare angetts att det saknas en enhetlig reglering för konkursförfarandet och rekonstruktionsförfarandThis thesis sets out to describe how a business reorganization procedure works according to existing Swedish law.
