An EU strategy to reduce carbon emissions and become more energy independent was the introduction of Directive 2002/91/EC. The EU member states were required to transpose a directive into national legislations. This resulted in that Sweden admits the law on energy certification of buildings. Certified energy expert who declares the buildings must be certified energy expert and independent of his p
When developing a truck it is of critical importance that the brake system is reliable and effective. When testing new trucks or brake systems you need to collect as much data as possible. One important measurand when you evaluate a pneumatic brake system is the stroke of the actuator. This master’s thesis has two goals; one is to develop a device for measuring the stroke of a pneumatic actuator m
Many European countries have recently decided to increase their statutory retirement ages because the demographic change poses a challenge to the stability of social security systems. The success of this policy depends among others on the health effect of such a delayed retirement. This study analyzes the effect of retirement on mental and physical health and further examines whether the health ef
Förevarande uppsats behandlar det interimistiska förbudet i ett praktiskt perspektiv. Mer konkret uttryckt undersöks i vilken utsträckning det immaterialrättsliga interimistiska förbudet faktiskt används i det praktiska rättslivet, samt hur det interimistiska förbudet i praktiken fungerar som ett tvistemålssubstitut. Genom en kvantitativ analys av opublicerade immaterialrättsliga rättsfall har e
This project investigates if access to a solar powered calculator improves numeracy and who benefits the most from the use of a calculator. A randomized field study was carried out in two different high schools in Palawan, a province in the Philippines. All participating students took two identical mathematics tests based on mental arithmetic, the first at the initial stage and the second seven we
Partial migration, when only parts of a population migrate and others stay resident, is a common phenomenon in nature. The underlying explanation for the behavioural differences within a population remains a research question and several recent studies have highlighted the role of predation. The present study is based on data collected from thousands of fish, individually marked with passive integ
Given the increasing world population, prices and greenhouse gas emissions, there is a need to innovate agriculture in order to accelerate crop productivity sustainably. These issues are compounded in developing countries, which often face severe droughts, famine, and have limited access to drinking water. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are the proposed solution to these concerns, with an i
Enligt 1 kap. 6 § LOU gäller inte lagen för kontrakt som avser förvärv av, eller nyttjanderätt till, fastighet. Paragrafen härstammar från art. 16 i direktiv 2004/18/EG och benämns vanligen som hyresundantaget. Att undantaget är vagt formulerat har öppnat för många tolkningar, och idag råder det oenighet kring dess omfattning. Tillsammans med övrig doktrin ger de olika lagkommentarerna endast en fAccording to the 1 ch. 6 § of the Swedish Public Procurement Act (LOU) it does not apply to contracts for the acquisition or rental of property. The paragraph is derived from Article 16 of directive 2004/18/EC, and is commonly referred to as the rent exemption. The exemption is vaguely phrased, a fact that has opened up for many interpretations. This has, in turn, resulted in uncertainty regarding
In this study the hypothesis that particular groups of organisms showing common physiological characteristics play an important role for the calculation of Trophic Magnification Factors (TMFs) of anthropogenic pollutants is tested. For this purpose data were collected from previous studies of biomagnification and analysed. Monte Carlo simulations of the linear regression TMF model were run for mer
Ortsprismaterial för obebyggda småhusfastigheter är ofta begränsat och omfattar normalt endast nyexploaterade områden i städernas utkanter. Denna typ av exploatering sker ofta genom att fastigheter överlåts med avtal om att exploatören även ska uppföra en småhusbyggnad. Gränsen mellan vilka värdehöjande åtgärder som ska tilldelas den obebyggda småhusfastigheten kontra småhusbyggnaden blir därmed sLocation-price data of undeveloped single-family properties are often limited and usually covers only recently urbanized areas in the outskirts of cities. Location-price data of developed single-family properties is also difficult to use for undeveloped single-family properties because the value ratio between land, buildings and facilities is hard to determine. An inadequate location-price data of
Målet med denna randomiserade och kontrollerade studie var att undersöka effekten av poweryoga på aspekter av psykologisk hälsa. Poweryoga är en motionsyoga som har blivit alltmer förkommande på gym. Sedan tidigare finns en stor mängd forskning på olika former av fysisk yoga och dess inverkan på såväl kroppslig som psykologisk hälsa medan effekten av specifikt poweryoga inte har dokumenterats i nåThe aim of this randomized controlled study was to assess the effect of poweryoga on different aspects of psychological health. Poweryoga is a fitness based yoga that has become a frequent occurrence at gyms. Previous studies have shown that different physical types of yoga have a positive effect on both somatic and psychological health while the effect of specifically poweryoga has only been exam
The low levels of workforce participation achieved by Sweden’s immigrants is an issue that has challenged policymakers for over 35 years. Recently, the significance of this issue in the minds of Swedish voters has been made clear, as Sweden elected the first far-right anti-immigration party into parliament in almost 20 years. In late 2010, in an effort to combat the ongoing issue, the government i
Large amounts of plastic in the oceans originate from mismanaged plastic waste, and microplastics (MPs) are the most common type of waste. They can be found in household products, such as sea salts. Therefore, monitoring pollution levels is essential to improve marine health and food safety. This study examined the MP levels in salts produced from the North Atlantic and North Seas and analyzed the
