Popular science This study is about the water balance of two forest stands. The water balance here means the inflow of the water by rain and outflow by evaporation and groundwater flow. The main question of this research is how increased air temperature and change in the precipitation will affect the water balance of these forests. This has been done through a modeling program which will be descriRecent studies show that future climate change will have a major influence on the water balance of forests in which the projected increase in air temperature and variation in the precipitation around the world are expected to be among the most important drivers affecting the forest’s hydrological cycle. The objective of this study is to compare the water balance of two forests stands in two diff

Uppsatsen behandlar skyldigheter under det internationella regelverket för de mänskliga rättigheterna i området våld i hemmet, med inriktning på vilken utsträckning stater anses ha en skyldighet att införa obligatoriska åtalsregler (närmast jämställt med allmänt åtal) för våld i hemmet. Med våld i hemmet avses mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer och uppsatsen genomsyras av ett strukturellt perThis thesis examines international human rights law obligations regarding domestic violence, with a focus on to what extent there is a state obligation to implement mandatory prosecution policies in domestic violence cases.

This thesis takes a new look at the determinants of the growth in labour compensation since the 1970s. A number of studies have shown that, over the past few decades, income has shifted dramatically from labour to capital, not the least in Europe. Kliman (2011), however, who looks at the corporate sector in the US, maintains that the labour share has remained constant relative to property income a

I svensk rätt stadgas en plikt, eller tvång om man så vill, att ingå avtal på försäkringsrättens område. Ett försäkringsbolag får enligt 11 kap. 1 § försäkringsavtalslagen inte neka någon att teckna en personförsäkring som bolaget normalt tillhandahåller allmänheten när det har fått de uppgifter som behövs, såvida det inte finns särskilda skäl att neka försäkring med hänsyn till risken för framtidSwedish law stipulates a duty, or compulsion, to enter into a contract in the field of insurance law. An insurance company may not deny anyone to take out personal insurance which the company normally provides the public when it has received the required data, unless there are particular reasons to deny insurance with reference to the risk of future claims, the nature of the intended insurance or

The thesis aims to explore what influences the Danish consumers when choosing food distribution channels in 2020 and further to test if current theories of consumers’ channel choice can be applied in the year of 2020. The thesis takes on a qualitative approach with mathematical principles and employs the Delphi Method as the primary method to collect data. To conduct the empirical analysis a desk

There is an economic interest in the development of reliable climate models that can give us a good estimation of the present and future climate. Farmers, electricity- and insurance- companies are some of the clients that need long term (monthly) weather information from the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI). This work focuses on the evaluation of the Rossby Centre Regional

The law that banned doping substances in Sweden was founded in 1991 and was strengthened in 1999 and 2011. The use of anabolic androgen steroids (AAS) however, is still increasing. Research about AAS is limited and the approximation of the number of AAS users is uncertain. On the gyms there are warnings about punishments risked if one is caught using AAS.

The thesis discusses the European Commission's application of the full-function criteria to joint ventures based on the method of their establishment. While the Commission's practice is clear when a new joint venture is established, it has been very inconsistent regarding operations when joint control is acquired over pre-existing undertakings, thus transforming them into joint ventures. T

Klassificerning av biologiska och icke-biologiska partiklar är av avgörande betydelse inom många forskningsområden och inom industrin, inbegripet biologi, medicin och så kalladtissue engineering. Gemensamma parametrar i inmärknings-fri separationutgörs vanligen av storleken, formen och de mekaniska egenskaperna hos partiklarna. Anordningar baserade på deterministisk sidoförskjutning (DLD) har upp

This essay argues that acedia is a helpful concept in illuminating the fiction of the American author David Foster Wallace, particularly his unfinished novel The Pale King. Following a brief biographical sketch of Wallace, the essay explores the development of the term acedia—which means something along the lines of apathy, sloth, and listlessness—and the two types of acedia: personal acedia and t

The upcoming ESA space astrometry mission Gaia, planned to be launched in early 2012, has been designed to scan the whole sky (flux limited, corresponding to magnitude 20 in the Gaia passband) during a five-year observational phase. It will measure the astrometric parameters (positions, parallaxes and proper motions) of more than one billion stars, complemented by multi-epoch spectrometric and rad

Importance of the business and human rights field for solving the conflict between pharmaceutical patents and the provision of access to medicines. The author suggests an original approach named Regionally Restricted Licenses as a way to solve the conflict and provide access to essential medicines in a systematic and sustainable manner.

I dagens individualiserade samhälle är frågan om individens självbestämmande, samt inskränkningar av denna, högst aktuella. De flesta fall av självbestämmande passerar obemärkt förbi i vårt vardagsliv, men var går egentligen gränsen för vad vi som individer kan välja att bli utsatt för utan inträdandet av straffansvar? I denna uppsats avhandlas till vilken grad den svenska straffrätten godkänner aIn todays individualized society questions concerning individual autonomy, and its limitations, is ever so current.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur de japanska personsuffixen, sama, san, kun, chan samt utelämnandet av personsuffix, passar in i F. Brauns (1988, 2010) lingvistiska teorier och R. Browns (1965) universella teori över tilltalsord. Uppsatsen inleds med en överblick över Brauns och Browns forskning som visar att analys av tilltalsord är ett mycket komplext och mångfasetterat ämne, dä
