Zabrze is a medium size town of 200 000 inhabitants in the region of Upper Silesia, Poland. The development of the town was originally based on the exploitation of heavy industries. In the past few years Zabrze has, however, moved towards more service and tourism oriented industries. As part of this journey, the city of Zabrze sees the need to improve its existing waste management system. This rep
It is argued that we live in a post-industrial society with a transition from the production of goods to services. It is also said we live in a knowledge economy where creation, distribution, use and manipulation of information are significant activities (Dahlbom, 2003). The word industrial has a connotation of mass-production of products and, logically also industrial design has this connotation.
In the recent past, social media has gradually evolved from a platfrom for communication and personal exchange to a space where contemporary consumer desires are awakened, directed, and also fulfilled. Instagram, in particular, is one of the social media platforms that has made specific design decisions to combine the social and entertaining aspects of the native, virtual social media experience w
The short-term limit value for PM10 having become effective in January 2005 was exceeded in many regions within the EU in 2005 and 2006. Therefore, strategies, particularly with respect to traffic control, are discussed, which could cause reduced PM10 concentrations leading to a more effective compliance with the short-term PM10 limit value. These strategies are often justified on PM10 differences
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den dramatiska samhällsomvandlingen i Öst- och Centraleuropa 1989-91 förändrade radikalt förutsättningarna för Europas politiska och ekonomiska liv. Den politiska och militära uppdelningen upphörde, gamla stater föll sönder och nya tillkom. I vårt närområde, Östersjöområdet, har förändringarna varit mer genomgripande än på många andra håll. Interaktionen mellan områdetsThe geopolitical transformation after 1989 had radical territorial consequences in almost all parts of East-Central Europe. In the Baltic Sea Area alone, five new states were formed. The process of European integration became a priotity on the agenda. The concept of integration describes a process of uniting two or more entities. Interaction (flows of goods, people and messages) must be seen as a
The northern latitudes are experiencing disproportionate warming relative to the mid-latitudes, and there is growing concern about feedbacks between this warming and methane production and release from high-latitude soils. Studies of methane emissions carried out in the Arctic, particularly those with measurements made outside the growing season, are underrepresented in the literature. Here we pre
Human land use changes perturb biogeochemical silica (Si) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. This directly affects Si mobilisation and Si storage and influences Si export from the continents, although the magnitude of the impact is unknown. A major reason for our lack of understanding is that very little information exists on how land use affects amorphous silica (ASi) storage in soils. We have qu
Handel med så kallade osanna fakturor är ett relativt avancerat upplägg som används i syfte att undvika beskattning. Med begreppet osann faktura avses en faktura som ger sken av att ett avtal ingåtts mellan två parter, vanligtvis om köp av tjänster eller varor, men där avtalet mellan parterna i själva verket avser köp av själva fakturan. Motivet bakom upplägg med osanna fakturor är i regel att minThe trading with so-called untrue invoices is a relatively advanced scheme used in order to avoid taxation. The term untrue invoice refers to an invoice that indicates that an agreement regarding purchase of services or goods has been made between two un-associated parties, when the agreement between the parties in fact relates to the purchase of the invoice itself. The motive behind the usage of
Uppsatsen undersöker rättskällevärdet för OECD:s riktlinjer om internprissättning för multinationella företag och skattemyndigheter vid tolkning av de s.k. korrigeringsreglerna i svensk och tysk lagstiftning. Genom internprissättning (transfer pricing) avgörs priserna vid transaktioner av fysiska varor och immateriella värden samt utförande av tjänster internt mellan närstående företag i multinatiThis paper examines the legal value of the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations as a source of law for the legal systems of Sweden and Germany with regards to internal law regulations enforcing compliance to the arm´s length principle in transfer pricing. Transfer prices are the prices at which enterprises transfer physical goods and intangible pr
I denna uppsats undersöks hur EU-arbetsrättens olika arbetstagarbegrepp definieras, vilken räckvidd de har samt hur dessa begrepp kan komma att utvecklas i framtiden. Arbetstagarbegreppen i både primärrätten och sekundärrätten undersöks. Undersökningen genomförs med den rättsdogmatiska metoden och den EU-rättsliga metoden. Artikel 45 FEUF var den första bestämmelsen med ett arbetstagarbegrepp i This thesis examines how the various concepts of ‘worker’ in EU labour law are defined, what their scopes are, and how these concepts may change in the future. The concepts of ‘worker’ in both primary and secondary law are examined. The examination is carried out using the legal dogmatic method and the EU legal method. Article 45 TFEU was the first regulation in the EU to contain a concept of ‘wo
Miljöpåståenden används idag ofta i marknadsföring för att övertyga kon-sumenter om en produkt eller tjänsts miljöfördelar. För att motverka vilsele-dande miljöpåståenden har EU-kommissionen föreslagit ett direktiv – det så kallade Green Claims-direktivet – som kräver att miljöpåståenden ska för-handskontrolleras och godkännas av en oberoende aktör. Kravet på förhandskontroll kan dock komma i konfEnvironmental claims are now frequently used in marketing to convince consumers of the environmental benefits of a product or service. To counter misleading environmental claims, the European Commission has proposed a directive – the so-called “Green Claims Directive” – which requires that such claims be pre-approved by an independent verifier. However, this re-quirement may conflict with Swedish
Letter of credit law are governed by two overriding principles. The principle of autonomy of the credit and the doctrine of strict compliance. The principle of autonomy can be read out of articles 4, 5 and 14 (a) UCP 600 and stipulates that banks deal with documents and not with goods. A letter of credit is a separate transaction from the sales contract and the bank isn't bound to the contract

Through participant observation in Bible study groups and the following Sunday’s s
År 2015 antog FN:s länder en agenda för hållbar utveckling som idag kallas för Agenda 2030. Agendan omfattar 17 globala mål samt 169 delmål som skapades för att världen över kunna uppnå en ekonomisk, social samt ekologisk hållbarhet. Dessa mål bygger på millenniemålen där syftet är att slutföra det som inte uppnåddes. Begreppet hållbarhet kan definieras på olika sätt och kan därmed uppfattas olikaIn 2015, the UN countries adopted an agenda for sustainable development, it is today called the 2030 Agenda. The agenda includes 17 global goals and 169 targets that were created to achieve economic, social and ecological sustainability worldwide. These goals are based on the Millennium Development Goals, the purpose of which is to complete what was not achieved. The concept of sustainability can
The main aim of this paper is to study land-atmosphere exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) for semi-arid savanna ecosystems of the Sahel region and its response to climatic and environmental change. A subsidiary aim is to study and quantify the seasonal dynamics in light use efficiency (epsilon) being a key variable in scaling carbon fluxes from ground observations using earth observation data. The n
Allergic rhinitis is a common disease affecting millions of people worldwide. Biocare Copenhagen A/S, a Danish biotechnology company decided to screen a number of probiotic lysates, with the aim to identify suitable strains with potential anti-allergic properties, that could regulate production of cytokines and divert the immune system in a regulatory or tolerant mode. People suffering from aller

A rapid shift from traditional Sanger sequencing-based molecular methods to the phylogenomic approach with large numbers of loci is underway. Among phylogenomic methods, restriction site associated DNA (RAD) sequencing approaches have gained much attention as they enable rapid generation of up to thousands of loci randomly scattered across the genome and are suitable for nonmodel species. RAD data
This thesis contains two studies focusing on motivation in learning and teaching French as a foreign language in Sweden. In the first study, the effect of three specifically designed pedagogical activities on learners’ Ideal French Self (IFrS) and Intended Effort (IE) was examined in a group of 15-year-old Swedish pupils. No significant difference could be found between the two intervention classe
Introduction Intimate partner violence (IPV) is regarded an important public health and human rights issue, characterized by physical, sexual or emotional abuse. Globally more than one in three women report physical or sexual violence by their intimate partners. Though the association between IPV and depression is known, we found no study investigating depression as a risk factor for IPV and very
