This study aims to investigate the possibility of creating template times for rail works. Furthermore the study identifies a few effects which template times could have on planning of rail works, traffic and economy. Template times are being considered by the Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, for the early stages of planning when there is a need to estimate the time required within t
This paper extends theories of retail branding and consumer experience of retail stores by bringing consumer culture theory into the field of retailing. Using ethnographic data collection methods (photo-diaries, participant observations, long interviews, artifact collections) we studied the grocery shopping habits and life at home among Swedish middle-class working women with children. The analysi
Applying a relatively simple particle-rotor model to odd-odd nuclei, the possible presence of multi-chiral-pair bands is looked for, where chiral-pair bands are defined not only by near degeneracy of the levels of two bands but also by similar expectation values of squared components of three angular momenta that define chirality. In the angular-momentum region where two pairs of chiral-pair bands

The aim of this study was to, using previously collected data from self-declared antisocial behaviour questionnaires, examine if the crime frequency has been different between adolescents that have either been referred to two different forms of open care in social service, child and youth psychiatric inpatient care or have been sent to Homes for Specialised Supervision. The criminality frequency a
En huvudprincip i den svenska rättsordningen är att den förlorande parten i ett tvistemål ska ersätta den vinnande parten för dennes rättegångskostnader. Ersättningen till den vinnande parten ska i enlighet med 18 kap. 8 § rättegångsbalken (1942:740), fullt motsvara kostnaderna för processföringen, såvitt kostnaderna skäligen varit påkallade för tillvaratagande av partens rätt. Inom ramen för partAn essential rule in Swedish law is that the losing party in a litigation shall reimburse all costs incurred by the winning party. Section 8 in Chapter 18 of the Swedish Code of Judicial Proceedings (1942:740) concludes that “compensation for litigation costs shall fully cover the costs of preparation for trial […] to the extent that the costs were reasonably incurred to safeguard the party's
Sexuallagstiftningen har genomgått stora förändringar de senaste åren och inte minst vad gäller våldtäktsbrottet. Lagstiftningens tydliga skyddsintresse att skydda den enskildes personliga och sexuella integritet och självbestämmande, samt den nya utgångspunkt som baseras på frivilligt deltagande, har inneburit fler infallsvinklar i bedömningen av vad som utgör en våldtäkt. Våldtäktsbrottet behanRape crime is in Swedish law regulated in Chapter 6 Section 1 of the Penal Code. The regulation has been through extensive changes during the past decade. Our current rape law does no longer require violence or threats, but is instead built upon the lack of voluntary participation. When it comes to sexual offences, crimes committed by a group of people is not unusual. In a situation where more th
Climate change will alter the hydrological cycle in the 21st century with implications for the water balance and water quality. As characteristics of the landscape may vary significantly between nearby locations, hydrological models need to be able to delineate responses attributed to specific landscape characteristics, to estimate their responses to altered climatic drivers. Small streams are the
Numerous location-based services (LBS) have evolved because of the fast development of mobile Internet for use in commerce, entertainment, security, and other areas. All of these need a precise real-time location-based service with smooth indoor- outdoor transition in highly populated areas. A truly omnipresent location system for both indoor and outdoor settings is still not accessible, despite t
Den här uppsatsens syfte är att kritiskt analysera Lag (1970:943) om arbetstid m.m. för husligt anställda – även kallad hushållslagen - ur två perspektiv; dels ett rättshistorisk, dels ett genusrättsligt. Den senaste legostadgan från 1833 var snarare en befolkningspolitisk lagstiftning än en arbetsrättslig sådan. För att undvika belastning på samhället föreskrev den tjänstetvång för alla myndigaThe purpose of this essay is to analyse the Swedish Domestic Work Act (1970:943) from two perspectives; one legal historical and one gender perspective. The latest so-called legostadga from 1833 worked more as legislation for population policy than for labour regulations. In order to avoid putting pressure on society, it forced all citizens who were of age and unable to support themselves to work
Sexual crimes against women have always been a part of war and have occurred in virtually every armed conflict throughout human history. For a very long time, and still today in some cultures, women were not seen as equal to men. Thus, gender based crimes against women were almost invisible to international criminal law. While these crimes were largely ignored after World War I and II, things have
I have conducted a qualitative study based on five adult sober alcoholics’ life stories. The purpose of the study was to explore and gain more knowledge and understanding of the role the social network played for an individual, living a sober life. Furthermore, how “sober alcoholics” find themselves in the community, where alcohol consumption is widely accepted in different social contexts and whe
Historically, inhabitants have always altered their domestic spaces to adapt to different environmental conditions and to meet personal needs. Especially in rural dwellings, lowtech but very effective and simple ways of adaptations have been and are still in use. These methods stand more than ever diametral to the way we dwell and use our domestic spaces today. All the building ele- ments are gett
Background: Climate change and increasing threats that come with it fosters a need for changing from fossil sources of energy to renewable ones. Sweden aims to have net zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year of 2045. One of the sectors that need to take part in this shift towards fossil free energy is the transport industry. Electrification of vehicles is an important part of this shift. As a r
I takt med att andelen förnybar el ökar så ökar även efterfrågan på flexibilitet i elnätet. Flexibilitet behövs bland annat för att tillhandahålla frekvensreglering. Om elförbrukningen och elproduktionen tillfälligt är i obalans kommer frekvensen i elnätet att avvika från sitt börvärde. För att skydda mot dessa obalanser upphandlar Svenska Kraftnät flera olika frekvensregleringstjänster. Som ett r
In mass media social workers are often accused of either neglect for too long or interfering too soon in child protection cases in which children risk to come to harm. Given that the terrain of child protection has always been ambiguous and uncertain we wanted to explore the Swedish social workers’ own view on risk assessments. The aim of this study was to examine how social workers working with c
Stellar streams are made of stars that originate from globular clusters or dwarf satellite galaxies that have been disturbed by the gravitational pull from the galaxy they orbit. These stellar streams hold information about the history of the progenitor as well as information about the gravitational potential of the host galaxy. In this thesis we make use of the high resolution cosmological zoom s
In order to get a system with a very low damping, a positionservo has been provided with an inertia disc driven by spring transmission. The servo will therefore drive a mechanical oscillation unit. The motor is simulated as armature controlled by feeding back the tachogenerator signal to the existing motor which is field controlled. In a former examination work at the institution the transfer func
