Utvecklingen av datorhjälpmedel inom byggbranschen har de senaste två decennierna gått starkt framåt. Idag finns verktyg som har potentialen att effektivisera alla delar av byggprocessen, men byggbranschen har fortfarande mycket arbete framför sig för att utnyttja dessa verktyg på ett bra sätt. Begrepp såsom BIM (Building Information Model) myntas ofta, men få aktörer har god förståelse för begrep

En ny lag ska införas i Sverige för att bland annat reglera private equity-investeringar – alltså investeringar i onoterade andelar. Lagen avser investeringar som sker genom att ansvaret för investerarnas medel överlåts till förvaltare för sådana förvärv. Lagstiftningen, som ställer nya krav på förvaltarna, har sin grund i de speciella risker som investeringarna kan medföra. Genom uppsatsen ska beA new law is to be enforced in Sweden in order to regulate investments in private equity – that is investments in unlisted companies. The law concerns investments which are placed through a trustee. It is motivated by the fact that the investor takes a special risk when the trustee places the capital of the investor in unlisted companies.

Denna uppsats tar sin utgångspunkt i den pågående debatten kring en tillgång till assisterad befruktning för ensamstående kvinnor. Assisterad befruktning är ett samlingsnamn för de metoder som finns för att avhjälpa ofrivillig barnlöshet och regleras i Sverige genom lag (2006:351) om genetisk integritet m.m. Frågan är aktuell eftersom riksdagen i mars 2012 gav regeringen i uppdrag att ta fram ett This thesis is based on the current Swedish debate about the ability of single women to access Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). ART is a general term referring to methods used to overcome infertility by artificial means and is regulated by the Swedish Act (2006:351) on Genetic Integrity. The topic is relevant because the Swedish Parliament in March 2012 gave the government a directive to pr

Frågan om en svensk reglering som medger tvångsvård av dementa har länge omdebatterats i media och varit föremål för flertalet utredningar. Så sent som den 29 november 2012 presenterade den nuvarande regeringen en lagrådsremiss innehållande förslag till en ny lag som i vissa fall tillåter tvångsåtgärder gentemot dementa inom socialtjänsten. Demenssjukdomar är vanliga och åldern är den främsta riskThe issue of a Swedish regulation which permits compulsory treatment of individuals suffering from dementia has been the subject of several investigations during the last three decades. In November 2012, the Swedish government presented a referral to the Council on Legislation containing proposals for a new law that in some cases allow coercive measures against individuals suffering from dementia

On all levels of government, politicians try to find solutions to our environmental problems. Municipalities in countries create action plans according to the Agenda 21, approved in 1992. This agenda encouraged the involvement of citizens from below and many took that to their hearts. Lund municipality in Sweden is one of them. The theory used in this thesis is deliberative democracy. It is a

Myndigheter kan, precis som privata rättssubjekt, bedriva verksamhet av affärsinriktad karaktär. Ett vanligt exempel på detta är det kommunala bolaget. En myndighets affärsverksamhet har dock vissa särskilda krav på sig, inte minst ifråga om offentlighet, och insyn i verksamheten. Samtidigt finns ett behov av att kunna hemlighålla en viss typ av information, vars röjande kan tänkas skada verksamheIt is not uncommon for Swedish public authorities to run their own business enterprises. Some of the most frequent examples are companies owned by local municipalities, which for example provide apartments with right of tenancy. However, these enterprises are somewhat different from privately owned businesses. This is because of the Principle of Public Access, which guarantees a certain amount of

This thesis explores the resistance towards a planned lime stone quarry on northern Gotland. Drawing upon the theory about the landscape as a product of social relations which can be attributed to different values and purposes. The aim is to understand how the opposing justifies their right to the landscape. The fight in Ojnareskogen is originating from two very different perspectives on the lands

The purpose of this project was to construct and build an automatic tool changer (ATC) for a computer numerical control (CNC) milling machine. An ATC reduces machine down-time for tool changes and the need for operator supervision of milling processes. The project was commissioned by the Department of Design Sciences, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University at Ingvar Kamprad Design Centre (IKDC),

Fallstudien är en enfallsdesign med två analysenheter. Teoretiska perspektiv: Studiens teoretiska ramverk utgörs av tidigare forskning kring affärssystem respektive ekonomi- och verksamhetsstyrning samt förh

This paper examines the emergence of gender-neutral clothing, particularly during the period of 2015-2016 when there was a notable increase in interest surrounding the concepts of gender-neutrality and androgyny in fashion. The objective of this paper is to contribute new research to the field, as there is a lack of specific studies on gender-neutral clothing. To achieve this, the paper conducts i

This study evaluates the protection of fundamental rights within the liability framework of Article 17 of the CDSM Directive. The analysis is conducted under the questions: what are the defining features of the new liability framework of Article 17 CDSMD and its relation to fundamental rights? How has the implementation process of Article 17 affected the balance between fundamental rights? And fin

Introduction: In Bio-pharmaceutical production, peristaltic pump tubing is considered one of the factors that influence protein aggregation. Background: Protein particles present challenges for the control and analysis of various manufacturing processes in the biopharmaceutical industry for their significant effects on safety and quality. Aim(s): This research aims to study the effect of differe

Intranasal drug delivery is a practical and accessible method for treating localized symptoms as well as achieving systemic drug absorption. The approach takes advantage of the permeability, vascularization, and limited enzymatic activity of nasal tissue, leading to enhanced drug absorption. Moreover, drugs can bypass the blood-brain barrier and directly reach the brain through the olfactory route

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka huruvida en experimentell manipulation, innehållandes utdrag från media, påverkade skattning av skuldbeläggande av brottsoffer för våldtäkt (victim blaming). Vidare undersöktes om det fanns skillnad i skattning av skuldbeläggande av brottsoffer och sexism hos kvinnor samt män. Slutligen undersöktes sambandet mellan sexism och skuldbeläggning av brottsofThe aim of this study was to investigate whether an experimental manipulation, containing text from the media, affected the level of victim blaming of a victim of sexual assault. We also tested for gender differences in victim blaming. Finally, the relationship between sexism and victim blaming was examined in men. The design was cross-sectional, and participants (n = 331) were randomized to three

In tablet manufacturing, the addition of lubricant to the formulation is of high importance as it ensures smooth compression and ejection of tablets and thereby tablet quality. This study focused on lubrication of tablet formulation using magnesium stearate (MgSt) as a lubricant and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as bulk material. Powder blends were analysed to investigate whether an effect of v

Andelen äldre vuxna växer stadigt världen över. År 2030 beräknas en av sex personer i världen att vara 60 år eller äldre. Denna demografiska förändring innebär stora utmaningar för många länder.
