Betong har använts flitigt som byggmaterial under modern tid och är idag ett av de mest använda byggmaterialen. Då krav på hållbarhet blir allt större läggs mer fokus på de stora koldioxidutsläpp som cementtillverkningen medför. Ett sätt att minska klimatpåverkan är att ersätta delar av Portlandcementet med restprodukter från andra industrier, såsom flygaska från kol- och kraftvärmeverk. Det är enConcrete has been frequently used as a buildning material in modern time and is today one of the most applied buildningmaterials. Since the demand of sustainability is getting bigger, more focus is put on the large carbon dioxide emissions that happens due to the cementmanufacturing. One way to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions is to replace a part of the Portlandcement with residues from other

The coexisting rise of China and Central European economies in the early 2000s as respectively the “Factory of the World” and the “Factory of Europe” raises the question whether Central Europe has either benefited from, or been harmed by the rise of China. This thesis therefore investigates the impact of the China shock on employment levels in Central Europe between 2000 and 2014. Using the WIOD 2

Offentlig upphandling är ett område som omsätter väldigt stora belopp, år 2012 uppgick denna summa till 635 miljarder vilket är knappt en 1/5 av Sveriges BNP. EU har på europeisk nivå lyft fram offentlig upphandling som ett sätt att nå samhälleliga mål, i EU-kommissionens 2020 strategi tas offentlig upphandling upp som ett sätt att nå den hållbara tillväxt som kommissionen vill åstadkomma. För attPublic procurement is a sector that turns over huge amounts of money. In 2012 this sector was valued at 625 billion SEK in Sweden. At EU level the scale of public procurement has been noticed by the EU-commission as something that can be used to create a more sustainable Europe. To achieve this EU wants to increase the possibilities for the member states to use environmentally adapted public procu

I de svenska aktiebolagen har det länge förekommit avtal som reglerar aktieägarnas möjlighet att överlåta aktier, dessa avtal brukar benämnas aktieägaravtal. I arbetet försöker författaren utreda huruvida dessa avtalade begräsningar kan få verkningar mot tredjeman. Utgångspunkten i svensk rätt har varit att obligationsrättsliga rättigheter inte kan göras gällande mot bolaget och inte har någon ver

The aim of this study was to analyze the female under-representation in the Swedish Armed Forces in order to gain a deeper understanding of the organization’s underlying difficulties in recruiting and retaining women. By collecting a women’s experience of the Swedish Armed Forces via a web survey and applying a qualitative content analysis to investigate the respondents’ answers, the study wishes

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka lagen (2020:62) om hemlig dataavläsning samt att jämföra den med tidigare tvångsmedelslagstiftningar och utvärdera tillämpningen av dem. Detta görs för att få möjlighet att analysera lagens lämplighet och den avvägning som lagen aktualiserar i dess införande och tillämpning, nämligen intresset av en effektiv brottsbekämpning å ena sidan och intresset av den pe

Internationella diplomatiska relationer har länge formats av rätten och möjligheten för en sändandestat att upprätta diplomatisk verksamhet i en mottagandestat. Denna verksamhet föregår ofta på en ambassad, men kan också utföras på konsulat. Dessa diplomatiska, eller konsulära lokaler skyddas av en okränkbarhet som stipuleras av internationell lag. Okränkbarheten är absolut utformad och kan mot baInternational diplomacy has long been formed around the right and possibility for a sending state to establish a diplomatic mission on certain premises in another, receiving state. These premises oftentimes take the shape of an embassy, but can also be constituted by consulates. The diplomatic, or consular, premises are protected be an aura of inviolability stipulated in international law. The law

Ett intressant mönster och hur det uppstod Många djur har vackra mönster. Huggormens svarta zigzag, lodjurets fläckar och abborrens mörka tvärband är bekanta mönster för de flesta av oss. Men varför har djur de mönster som de har? Den vetenskapliga gren som försöker förstå varför djur ser ut på de vis de gör kallas för evolutionsbiologi. En av de första evolutionsbiologerna var Charles Darwin. HaAnimal color patterns are ecologically significant but developmentally complex traits. By understanding how they develop we can predict why some patterns evolve while others do not. Diamonds are an interesting set of patterns exhibited by many reptiles. The brown anole lizard has a female polymorphism, some females have a chevron pattern while others have a diamond-shaped pattern. Here, I show tha

Friflytande elsparkcykelsystem är ett nytt fenomen i trafiken som verkar ha potential att främja hållbart resande genom att tillgodose behovet för korta resor, minska andelen bilresor och beroendet av egenägda fordon, öka intermodalt resande och komplettera kollektivtrafiken. De verkar dock samtidigt ersätta ett stort antal resor som redan är aktiv och hållbara. De skapa r även framkomlighetsproblThe free-floating electric scooter is a new phenomenon in the transport sector that seems to have a potential of promoting sustainable transportation and changing the way we travel in cities all around the world. This is done by catering the need for short trips and minimizing the dependence of self-owned vehicles and thus reducing the number of car trips. Though it seems to contribute to replacem

Over the past few decades, Japan and South Korea have experienced unprecedented levels of population ageing brought about by the countries’ persistent sub-replacement fertility rates. This fertility decline has to be addressed in order to ensure future social stability and economic growth. The primary purpose of this thesis is to determine the primary drivers behind these low fertility rates. The

This study investigates political microtargeting in a multi-party context, more specifically, in a Swedish setting. By utilizing a mixed-method approach, the objective of the study is twofold. Firstly, interviewing researchers and political parties regarding their perception of microtargeting to generate a holistic view around the technology and its utilization. Secondly, implementing a survey wit

Title: Biomimetic ventilation Authors: Bamdad Mashreghi & Hugo Landin Supervisor: Urban Persson, Lunds Tekniska Högskola Examiner: Anne Landin, Lunds Tekniska Högskola Problem definition: How does the performance of a biomimetic ventilation system based upon termite-ventilation vary depending on the local climate? What are the differences between a biomimetic ventilation system inspired

This thesis examines how forced digitized work has affected politicians in a regional board. Through interviews with elected politicians and observations of council meetings we have studied and analyzed the politicians’ attitudes towards the forced digitized changeover. The digitalization that was forced due to the corona pandemic has been perceived differently and can be linked to the idea of dig

The aim of this study is to investigate whether crops are a mechanism through which drought affects terrorist activity. The theory suggests that drought can affect conflict if the group or country affected also is dependent on agriculture, experiences low economic development and is politically excluded. This study adds the perspective that decreased crop harvests, due to drought, can be understoo

EU anses av många ha en av världens strängaste regleringar för dataskydd. Unionen och dess medlemsstater har dock, likt resten av världen, i och med den globala och tekniska utvecklingen ett intresse av att kunna överföra personuppgifter till tredjeländer. I syfte att balansera det höga integritetsskyddet mot intresset av att överföra personuppgifter till tredjeland, finns i dataskyddsförordningenThe EU is by many considered to have one of the world's strictest regulations for data protection. However, the Union and its Member States, like the rest of the world, have an interest in being able to transfer personal data to third countries due to global and technological developments. In order to balance the high level of privacy protection against the interest in transferring personal da

Context. The first release of astrometric data from Gaia is expected in 2016. It will contain the mean stellar positions and magnitudes from the first year of observations. For more than 100 000 stars in common with the HIPPARCOS Catalogue it will be possible to compute very accurate proper motions due to the time difference of about 24 years between the two missions. This Hundred Thousand Proper

Background The prognosis in adults with congenital aortic valve disease is usually favourable; nevertheless, a number of medical and social factors might hamper long-term prognosis and quality of life. With a focus on physical exercise level, data from the Swedish National Registry on Congenital Heart Disease (SWEDCON) were analysed and variables associated with health-related quality of life in a

BACKGROUND: Female sex pheromones attracting mating partners over long distances are a major determinant of reproductive isolation and speciation in Lepidoptera. Males can also produce sex pheromones but their study, particularly in butterflies, has received little attention. A detailed comparison of sex pheromones in male butterflies with those of female moths would reveal patterns of conservatio

The centenary of the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 has spurred a lively popular and academic debate about the conflict's role in shaping the twentieth century and the European present. This article examines the war from a slightly different perspective, taking as its point of departure the impact of the war on neutral Scandinavia and its place in contemporary Scandinavian historical cons
