This chapter examines the legal regulation regarding administrative silence in Swedish administrative law. The main aim is to give an overview of the legal instruments to prevent and challenge administrative silence in Swedish administrative law and to identify any possible gaps or weaknesses in the system. Traditionally, the term ‘administrative silence’ is not used in Swedish administrative law;This chapter examines the legal regulation regarding administrative silence in Swedish administrative law.

Singapore’s education system is globally recognized for its high academic standards. In this paper, I explore how Singaporean parents navigate sentiments of uncertainty and risk in relation to their children’s education. While academic achievements are still considered crucial to foster a competitive population, there has been a shift of attention in education policy towards social-emotional skillSingapore’s education system is globally recognized for its high academic standards.

Popular Abstract in English Global invasion of our precious watercourses by cyanobacteria poses great threat to human- and animal health by deteriorating water systems. In fact, this problem is not likely to be solved in the near future as cyanobacteria are associated with pollution of waterways. Consequently, water sources are subject to contamination by natural toxins produced by abundant growthCyanobacteria blooms are a water menace since they produce potent toxins that have been implicated in poisonings and deaths of humans and animals after consumption or contact with cyanotoxin-contaminated water. Of particular concern are cyanotoxins called microcystins, which are hepatotoxic cyclic peptides known to promote development of liver tumors in humans and animals. The high toxicity and in

Industrial processes currently account for a signifcant share (25–35 %) of the world’s total energy demand and related emissions. During recent years, the amount of low-carbon electricity from renewable energy sources (such as wind and solar) has increased continuously. Tere is therefore an increasing interestin electrifcation of industrial processes in order to achieve long-term decarbonisation g

The aim of this study is to examine the complexities one might face as try you implement water policy balancing all the objectives sustainability, by using the example of the free basic water policy in Johannesburg. The main theories applied are connected to water governance, the concept of sustainability and social provision strategies in the form of targeting and universalism. The study was carr

This paper aims to critically review scientific purports by neoclassical economics, in particular when it comes to international development politics. Strive for global unified economies conceptualized through the convergence theorem and its extensional implementation through Washington consensus is the main goal of liberal ideology. Moreover market friendly reforms and policies are promoted and p

Throughout history, people have always been faced by difficulties regarding their physical conditions. Vision of sight is no different and poor eyesight has certainly hindered a lot of people from achieving their goals in life. To this day, this still holds true and many people around the globe are affected by some sort of visual impairment. The purpose of this study is to describe and to determ

Improvisation and Intention. Jazz musicians' views on improvisational cognitionIn previous research on jazz improvisation, questions about the role of intention seem to be subject to widely differing views. What role do intentions play in jazz improvisation? If the improviser has a conscious intention to play what is being played, is this simultaneous with the per­formance of it, or are intention

The socio-physical qualities of built environments are, in several ways, of imperative importance for children growing up. The Child-Friendly Cities initiative by UNICEF, an implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, has made local governments strive toward child-friendliness. The participation of children and young people is often the focus of such projects, with a potential

Introduction: Arterial spin labelling (ASL) is a non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique for assessment of perfusion. ASL uses magnetically labelled blood water as a diffusible endogenous tracer to measure the perfusion of brain tissue, i.e. the cerebral blood flow (CBF). Traditionally, ASL samples images at a specific point in time allowing the CBF to be calculated using a model o

Innovation is gospel today. This also means a surge in popularity for the agents behind innovation; innovators. But who are they, exactly? Anecdotal evidence from both recent times and historical settings tend to emphasize remarkable individuals, who more or less alone created amazing things. By utilizing the SWINNO-database of innovations, this thesis examines how empirically prevalent the narrat

Nature-based solutions (NBS) can provide a range of benefits to tackle acute sustainability challenges in an enduring and cost-effective manner. Increasing recognition of the value of these solutions has led to their adoption across the globe. However, a majority of NBS projects are implemented with public funding, though the participation of the private sector is vital to achieve comprehensive op

This normative study examines the Swedish governments solidarity security policy, in relation to its commitments in the EU and Nato. Since the end of the cold war, Sweden has shifted its security policy from one of neutrality, to one of solidary participation within said alliances. The study’s aim is to examine the validity of this policy, in relation to the concept of solidarity. In doing so, it

International organisations (IOs) play increasingly important roles in world politics. As states face more complex challenges they have joined together in IOs to solve their common problems. Yet once an IO has been created it may take on a life of its own, and it becomes difficult for its state founders to control what it does. Permanent secretariats populated by experts are one of the most import

A mechanical failure of a single component is sufficient to cause a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) breakdown. As an unfavorable issue for interfering the stable operation of SOFCs, thermal stress stemming from temperature gradient and mechanical mismatch can result in crack damage. Therefore, it is strongly significant to clarify the relationship of mechanical properties of the cell materials with dA mechanical failure of a single component is sufficient to cause a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) breakdown.

In this essay the impacts of corruption on the bilateral trade of 25 EU countries from 1999 to 2008 are investigated. Corruption is the result of malfunctioning institutions and it leads investment flows to be less productive. Hence corruption is expected to impose cost on trade and therefore we expect that corruption mitigate the amount of trade. The negative impact of corruption on trade is most
