När två parter formulerar ett avtal behandlas ett antal olika klausuler. I kommersiella avtal regleras ofta vilken tvistlösningsmetod som ska tillämpas på framtida tvister. Den dominerande metoden är skiljeförfarande. Skiljeförfarande är en typ av privat tvistelösningsform, där en skiljenämnd har behörighet att pröva tvistefrågor och meddela ett bindande dom. Skiljeklausulen anses vara ett självWhen two parties formulate a contract, several clauses are to be considered. In commercial agreements, a clause regulating which dispute resolution method should be applied on future conflicts is usually included. The dominating alternative dispute resolution is arbitration. Arbitration is a type of a private dispute resolution method, where an arbitration panel has the authority to try dispute qu
The Lunar Light House project was developed to provide a novel system of protection against cosmic radiation specifically for a surface Lunar base. It’s main target was to find a technical solution which would allow for more freedom in shaping the base structure and also potentially for introducing natural sun light. At the time of developing this project, there seldom were any ideas as to how t
The aim of this study is to investigate the working conditions for the cabin crew, if they are subjected to power oppression, like harassment, and how gender-coded practitioners and gender conceptions are made as processes within the organization. We have created this study as a feminist contribution to the labor market studies, gender studies and law studies since harassment crosses all these dis
The aim of this master’s thesis is to explore the interplay of commitment and empty labour in two widely different organisations. Empty labour can be described as when you are doing anything else than your official working tasks. Commitment on the other hand is how and in what way you feel obligated to the organisation, your boss, your colleagues’ etcetera. Depending on several factors such as col
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is a technology that uses a digital model to print a three-dimensional object, layer by layer. Today, it is widely used in many different fields and provides a manufacturing method with advantages such as precision and the ability to print complex shapes from many different materials. 3D printed prostheses have recently gained a lot of interest thanks to the
Fingerprint recognition is a well-known problem in pattern recognition and widely used in contemporary authentication technology such as access devices in mobile phones. The subject of this thesis is to investigate the applicability of convolutional neural networks for fingerprint recognition. This is accomplished by designing various network architectures for this task. Our starting-point is an a
During the Gorkha Earthquake in 2015 and its aftershocks, many schools have been damaged or collapsed in Nepal. Reconstruction of schools is still in progress. The lack of funding, resources, engineering skills, knowledge and accessibility makes it difficult for a lot of schools to reopen. My aim with this thesis project is to contribute to the resiliency of Nepal by proposing a design for a speci

In this regard, the thesis has examined whether legal pluralism can be a way to reach SDG16 in Ecuador, and if it complies with individual
Bakgrunden till denna studie grundar sig i egna erfarenheter kring pianoundervisning och hur lärares återkoppling har påverkat min utveckling. Denna studie undersöker därför hur pianolärare på musikestetiska programmet arbetar med återkoppling i sin undervisning och vad elevers uppfattning kring arbetet är. Det som är särskilt intressant är den återkoppling som främjar eller hämmar korttidsresulta
The Transient Receptor Potential, TRP, family is a group of non-selective ion channels which can be activated by harmful stimuli such as temperature, chemicals and mechanical stimuli. The channels play a crucial role in many physiological processes and it is therefore of great interest to know more about these proteins. The TRPA1 is one of many TRP channels, and a better knowledge of its function
The benefits of economic growth (e.g. capital accumulation) are mainly being enjoyed by people in the Global North, while its negative byproducts (e.g. pollution) are mainly being endured by people in the Global South. Our focus on economic growth has led to the erosion of social wellbeing. And continuing economic growth on this planet with finite natural resources could have even more severe cons
The aim of this thesis is to investigate information use, equilibrium behavior and social welfare in a duopoly market with anti-coordination. The analysis is conducted through the application of a game theoretic model first introduced in a 2002 seminal paper by Morris and Shin, to the Los Angeles stringer industry. In this setting, freelance journalists selling footage to news networks have a moti
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of how different groups of consumers perceive a brand depending on whether they are exposed to influencer marketing or paid social media marketing. Methodology: A descriptive quantitative study with a between-subjects design was conducted using a digital survey. A combination of one-way ANOVA, independent samples t-test and Spear
This report is an investigation on how well fuel sloshing in a rotating cylindrical tank can be modeled numerically. The investigation is motivated by the need to understand the fuel sloshing in the new Ariane 6 rocket developed by the European Space Agency. Two cases are studied, the lled tank and the half lled tank at Reynolds numbers of 71000-212000. The softwares studied are FINE/Open with Ope
Air pollution caused by highly concentrated particulate matter is recognized as the biggest problem in Korean society. Since the problem is directly related to human life and local people's livelihoods, the demand for fundamental policies rather than short-term measures is growing. In this context, the strong policies of Seoul metropolitan government including emergency reduction measures whic

For STA, it is of high importance to manage aspects such as climate and energy issues in big infrastructure projects, especially since they must meet certain requirements. Furthermore, when performing life cycle assessments (LCA) in projects like these, the possib
