This thesis explores the process of becoming a creative entrepreneur and how this process can be supported in and out of an incubator. Using ethnographic methods and cultural analysis, I argue that being an entrepreneur is an overarching lifestyle and the process of becoming one is affected by each individual’s backgrounds, motivations, identities, existing skills, social networks and perceptions

The study considers the scheduling problem of identical parallel machines subject to minimization of the maximum completion time and the maximum tardiness expressed in a linear convex objective function. The maximum completion time or makespan is the date when the last job to be completed leaves the system. The maximum tardiness is indicated by the job that is completed with the longest delay rela

The purpose of this study was to examine experiences of treatment needs of women in drug abuse in social services and in women focus treatment institutions and to which extent the efforts are considered to be adapted to the women´s needs. The reason of this aim is the fact that women in drug abuse rather than men in drug abuse run a larger risk of being exposed to physical, psychical and sexual vi

Drivkrafter, barriärer och lösningar för integreringen av blågröna lösningar i den fysiska planeringen Hur kan samhället anpassas till klimatförändringarna och dess effekter? Ett sätt är att använda sig av blågröna lösningar, som exempelvis träd och dammar. Dessa strukturer kan minska översvämningsrisken, ta hand om skyfall och reglera temperaturen på varma sommardagar. De kan även bidra med en r

Lunds Universitetssjukhus är det största sjukhuset i Skåne. Sjukhuset närmar sig 100 år och behöver moderniseras och därför kommer en omplacering av sjukhusområdet att göras omkring år 2040. Denna studie undersöker svagheter och möjligheter för kollektivtrafik till det nya sjukhusområdet för att kunna möta behovet av kollektivtrafik år 2040. Studien bygger på en litteraturstudie tillsammans med enThis study examines the challenges and opportunities for public transport to meet the future demand for Lund University Hospital which will be reloacted in 2040. Based on a survey targeting on employees at the current hospital (N=780), the result reveals that employees younger than 40 are driving as much as the group above 65, while the age group between 40 and 65 is mostly using either public tra

Genom bestämmelserna om processuell edition i 38 kap. rättegångsbalken kan en part i ett tvistemål få tillgång till en handling av bevisbetydelse som innehas av motparten eller tredje man.

I denna uppsats har psykiskt störda lagöverträdares ansvarsförutsättningar i svensk- respektive dansk rättsordning undersökts. Sveriges val, att i samband med brottsbalkens införande 1965, avskaffa tillräknelighetsbestämmelserna, har genom åren mött en hel del kritik. Uppsatsen avser att besvara frågan kring huruvida ett tillräknelighetsrekvisit bör återinföras i svensk lagstiftning eller ej. DåThis thesis examines the conditions of liability for mentally disturbed offenders in the legal systems of Sweden and Denmark. Sweden’s decision to abolish the insanity defense provisions upon the introduction of the Penal Code in 1965 has faced considerable criticism over the years.

Introduction: Vitamin D plays an

The enrichment of Fe, relative to alpha elements such as O and Mg, represents a potential means to measure the ages of quasi-stellar object (QSO) host galaxies and probe nucleosynthesis in the early universe. QSOs exhibit prominent Fe II features and Mg II 2800 angstrom resonance doublet emission in the ultraviolet. Although chemical evolutionary models predict that the Fe/Mg abundance ratio decre

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar om energieffektiva fönstersystem i svenska byggnader. Simuleringar av energianvändningen har gjorts för både småhus och kontor för att bedöma effekterna av olika fönsterval på energibehov och inneklimat. Två års mätningar av energianvändning och innetemperaturer för ett energisnålt radhus har utvärderats. Två beteendestudier har även genomförts This thesis deals with energy-efficient windows in Swedish buildings. Parametric studies were performed in the dynamic energy simulation tool Derob-LTH in order to study the effects of window choices on energy use and indoor climate for both residential and office buildings. A steady-state program was used to evaluate two years of measurements of energy use and indoor temperatures of an energy-eff
