Efter finanskrisen 2008 och Liborskandalen 2012 har dagens referensräntor ifrågasatts och omdiskuterats. Det har lett till det pågående arbetet världen över med att byta ut de traditionella IBOR-räntorna och ersätta de med nya, transaktionsbaserade referensräntor. Redan år 2021 planerar både England och USA att fasa ut IBOR och övergå till nya, alternativa referensräntor.

Det finns en risk att återvinningen av schaktmassor sprider gifter i miljön Ett överskott av schaktmassor är resultatet av många byggprojekt. Samtidigt behövs schaktmassor på många andra håll i samhället, som när vägar, järnvägar och bullervallar ska byggas. Att återvinna schaktmassor minskar uttaget av naturresurser och leder ofta till kortare transporter. Problemet är att massorna som återvinnsExcess soil can be a product of construction, roadwork and other types of infra-structure projects. This soil can be polluted to a greater or lesser degree, but still be suitable for recycling in different types of constructions. This study investigated what knowledge the regulatory authorities have of the pollution content in the recycled soil. Further, this study investigated opportunities and o

Många menar att reglering av parkerings-platser och då främst parkeringsavgifterna påverkar var konsumenter väljer att handla. Eftersom större handelsplatser utanför städerna, så kallade externa handelsplatser, byggs ut och ökar i antal leder det till en ökad konkurrens med handeln i centrum. I värsta fall kan det innebära att centrum blir tomt både på affärer och på människor, inte minst pga att The building of more external shopping malls creates an increased competition for city centre business. The purpose of this study is to synoptically obtain the factors that affect the customer’s choice of trading site and its attractiveness according to previous studies. Furthermore, the purpose is specifically to study the effect of parking regulation on parking turnover and the effect on busines
