Trap roads are a part of the Swedish railway facility and resembles the safest front- and side protection at speed above 160 km/h. When designing Trap roads, some regulations needs to be followed. As these, in some cases, may be contradictory towards each other, the planners become somewhat insecure. The purpose of the master thesis has thenceforth been to clarify for the planners, as well as to w

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling undersöker vi vilka anpassningar som behöver göras i designen av matematikkurser när de överförs från en kulturell miljö till en annan. Vi fokuserar på en kurs i beräkningsmatematik som undervisas på Lunds Universitet i Sverige och som vi under studien överförde till Sorans Universitet i Kurdistan/Irak. Projektet har två delar. Den första diskuterar hThis thesis aims to investigate necessary adaptations in the design of a mathematics course when it is transferred from one cultural environment to another. We focus on an elementary course in computational mathematics with Python taught at Lund University, Sweden, and at Soran University, Kurdistan/Iraq. This project holds two main parts.

Sammanfattning Det immaterialrättsliga ersättningssystemet är förmodligen mer aktuellt än någonsin. Ett ökat internationellt fokus och de förändringar som bland annat IPRED-direktivet medfört är en del i detta. Dessutom har den tekniska utvecklingen under en period varit stor, sammantaget innebär detta att frågan om ersättning för immaterialrättsintrång är mycket angelägen. Immateriella rättighetSummary The sanctioning of infringements into intellectual properties is a question of severe relevance. Technical development, globalization and legal standpoints such as the Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive has made the topic of this paper a much debated one. The value of intellectual properties can be immense. In fact there are quite a few cases where the most valued assets
The rapid population growth in China during the last decades has put an enormous pressure on cultivation production and water supply. Many regions in China are therefore facing water scarcity and shortage of arable land. One of such regions is Gansu and it is considered as the driest and poorest province in China. This arid and semi-arid region is signifying a very uneven annual precipitation patt
Tillgång till information är av avgörande betydelse för en parts möjlighet att tillvarata sin rätt i en domstolstvist. Informationsanskaffningen inför en tvist är i huvudsak utomprocessuell och förutsätter frivillig medverkan från informationsinnehavaren. Rättegångsbalkens regler om editionsplikt möjliggör emellertid i viss mån även informationsanskaffning med domstolens hjälp. Syftet med denna Access to information is crucial for a party’s ability to exercise its rights in a litigation. The gathering of information in the event of a legal dispute is mainly done out of court and requires that the holder of information contributes voluntarily. However, Chapter 38 of the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure (SCJP) supports, to some extent, gathering of information with the assistance of the
Purpose: In this study, we examine the data from Chinese companies to test the relationship between cash flow and investment. While a wide assortment of previous research has examined the relationship between cash flow and investment, they have largely focused on empirical analysis from an US or a Western perspective. But, to date, little attention has been paid to such relationship using empirica
In this essay I discuss contract formation and contract interpretation with regards to smart contracts. Smart contracts are computer programs inserted on a blockchain, with the purpose of facilitating an exchange of digital goods between the parties. Blockchain technology is used to store smart contracts in order to imbue the smart contract with several useful qualities for contracting in a trustl
Den tekniska utvecklingen innebär att det finns nya sätt att kränka en annan person som inte överensstämmer med de tillvägagångssätt som tidigare avsetts i svensk straffrätt. Förevarande uppsats är en undersökning av straffbara ofredanden på sociala medier. Utredningen görs med utgångspunkt i den kritik som riktats mot svensk lagstiftning. Två bestämmelser som kan aktualiseras när brott begås via Due to the technical development, new ways of violating another person has been created. These ways do not comply with the procedures previously set out in Swedish penal law. This essay is an investigation of criminal offenses carried out on social media. The research is based on the criticism raised towards Swedish legislation. Focus lies on two provisions, molestation and sexual molestation acco
Plants are exposed to harsh environments due to climate changes, which lead to reduction in productivity and yield of the crops. In order to promote stress tolerance in plants, several chemical, microbial and pulsed power methods are applied in agriculture. Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) is an alternative non-chemical and environmentally friendly technology that can be applied to promote the growth o

I Sveriges storstäder råder idag stor bostadsbrist och byggandet av bostäder räcker inte till. Ett steg i arbetet med att möta det stora behovet av bostäder är att genomföra förtätningar. Lagar och regler har dock problematiserat och förhindrat många planerade förtätningsprojekt, vilket avsevärt försvårat arbetet med att bygga bort bostadsbristen. Ett av regelverken som utgör hinder mot förtätningA great shortage of housing is currently apparent in Sweden's major cities. To meet this need for housing, densification strategies are implemented. However, laws and regulations have complicated and prevented many planned densification projects, making the issue with housing shortage more difficult to address. One of the regulations that preclude densification of housing is the regulatory sys
Ett viktigt syfte inom EU är ökad konkurrens på den Europeiska marknaden och för att målet ska uppnås föreslog den Europeiska Kommissionen ett Direktiv som reglerar uppköpserbjudanden vilket skulle bidra till förenklade förvärv av företag på den gemensamma marknaden. Företagsförvärv innebär huvudsakligen att ett företag köper aktier av ett annat företag vilket även ibland kan leda till övertagandeOne of the main purposes in EU is increased competiveness on the European market and to achieve the goal; the European Commission made a proposal of a Directive on Takeover Bids which would facilitate the takeover activity in EU. Takeover activities essentially signify when a company purchases shares in another company which occasionally also leads to a takeover of the control of the target compan
The Öresund Region, comprising areas of Sweden and Denmark, is involved in a process of sustainable urban transformation. The region has high ambitions in terms of carbon emissions reduction and has set itself steep targets to meet over the next 15-20 years. The energy consumption of buildings accounts for a significant proportion of carbon emissions. With the urban areas of the Öresund Region exp
Samhället genomgick under 1900-talet stora förändringar. Välfärdsstatens socialpolitiska reformer gjorde att familjens roll förändrades – allt fler av de funktioner som tidigare var förbehållna familjen kom nu att övertas av samhället. Kvinnans ekonomiska självständighet och jämställdhet med mannen stärktes. Kvinnor blev också i allt större utsträckning verksamma på arbetsmarknaden. SkilsmässotaleThe society has experienced major changes in the 20th century. The social politics of the Swedish welfare state has impacted the family role. Important functions which were earlier carried out within the family, is now provided by the social welfare system. The economical independency of the spouses and gender equality strengthened during this period. An additional important factor for the reforma
Today the energy question and the ambitions to reduce energy usage are in focus in both the media and at government level. In Sweden today, newly built houses use little energy for heating. This makes the energy for home appliances more influencial in total. Household owners have a great influence on how the energy within the household is used. In order to minimize electrical consumption, the hous
High Arctic wetlands are an important component of the global climate system. Nevertheless estimations of their expected response to climate change and associated climate-feedbacks have large uncertainties. Improving models for vegetation and carbon dynamics of ecosystems is an important step towards making predictions more accurate. In this study, an arctic-enabled version of the LPJ-GUESS dynam
Universities have become important components of the national innovation systems in innovation driven economies. To strengthen the university related flow of mainly technological knowledge into commercialized products many European countries have followed the American example and changed from an inventor-ownership system to a university-owned system (Genua & Rossi, 2011). Today most European c
Mycorrhizal symbioses are formed between plant root systems and compatible fungal hyphae that results in a complex mixed structure. They are found in all ecosystems and with the majority of land plants such as forest trees or crops that are of commercial interest. Mutual exchange of nutrients between the two symbionts is central to the successful functioning of the symbioses. In order to understan
