I en entreprenad reglerad av AB 04 har beställaren rätt att förändra entreprenörens kontraktsåtagande. Beställaren kan förändra kontraktsåtagandet på två sätt: genom föreskrivna ÄTA-arbeten samt genom avbeställning. Avbeställningsrätten är inte reglerad i AB 04. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om utvalda rättigheter och skyldigheter föreligger vid avbeställning vid entreprenader reglerade avThe parties of a construction contract consist of an employer and a constructor. A common standard-form contract in construction contract law is AB 04. The employer in such a contract is entitled to alter the extent of the contracted works. This is done by either prescribing an ÄTA-arbete (an altered or added work) or by cancelling works. ÄTA-arbeten are regulated in AB 04. Cancellation of works i
Det åvilar samhället ett stort ansvar att skydda våldsutsatta barn. Att bevittna våld kan vara lika traumatiskt för ett barn som att själv utsättas. I januari 2022 konstaterade Jämställdhetsmyndigheten, efter en granskning av 814 tingsrättsdomar i mål om vårdnad, boende och umgänge, att uppgifter om våld eller andra övergrepp mot barn, förälder eller partner förekom i 64 procent av de granskade doSociety has a great responsibility to protect children from violence. For a child, it can be as traumatizing to witness violence as it is to be the victim of it. In January 2022, the Swedish Gender Equality Agency found, after reviewing 814 judgements from the district courts concerning custody, residence and contact, that allegations of violence or other abuse could be found in 64 percent of the
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka de anställdas uppfattning på co-working space:et Hetch angående deras kommunikationsinsatser på den digitala kommunikationsplattformen Slack, för att främja en känsla av gemenskap bland sina hyresgäster. Det här ämnet är relevant för forskningsfältet inom strategisk kommunikation eftersom det är viktigt att förstå hur man kommunicerar på en digital plattform This study aims to examine employees' perception at co-working space Hetch regarding their digital communication efforts on the computer-mediated communication platform Slack to foster a sense of community amongst the members. This topic is relevant to the field of strategic communication because understanding how to communicate on a computer-mediated platform is essential to further building
While studies on the relationship between health, income, healthcare spending and productivity is generally consistent, little attention has been brought to the regional contexts. Meanwhile, a country like Sweden who is generally known for a well-established healthcare system and welfare state, experiences increasing regional disparities. This thesis investigates the relationship between health, i
Lentivirus-based vectors derived from human immunodeficiency viruses type 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and 2) are widely used tools in research and may also be utilized in clinical settings. Like their parental virions, they are known to depend on the cellular machinery for successful gene delivery and integration. While most of the studies on cellular proteomic and transcriptomic changes have focused on the la
The use of low-cost immersive virtual reality systems is rapidly expanding. Several studies started to analyse the accuracy of virtual reality tracking systems, but they did not consider in depth the effects of external interferences in the working area. In line with that, this study aimed at exploring the static-positional accuracy and the robustness to occlusions inside the capture volume of the
The use of imprinted polymers for selective solid-phase extraction of local anaesthetics from human plasma was investigated. Methacrylic acid-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate based MIPs were developed by the alternative template approach using a structural analogue, pentycaine, as the template. The influence of the type and concentration of detergent in the buffer on selective and non-specific bindi
This thesis addresses the phase behavior and phase structure in mixed surfactant-surfactant and surfactant-polymer systems, where the co-solutes have opposite charges (catanionic systems). The initial goal has been to investigate self-assembly aspects in mixtures of single-/double-chained surfactants and bile salt/double-chained surfactants, with the main focus on vesicle assembly in dilute region
Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) of the first carpometacarpal (CMC-1) joint is a common hand disorder with symptoms including pain and weakness of the thumb. Previous studies have associated high BMI with OA of weight-bearing joints, whereas studies regarding non-weight-bearing joints have shown conflicting results. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of overweight and obe
Purpose: To assess the prevalence of extracardiac findings (ECF) during cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations and their downstream effect on clinical management. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively identified 500 consecutive patients. Trans-axial balanced steady-state free precession nongated images acquired from the upper thorax to the upper abdomen were evaluated independent
BackgroundPopulations of long-distance migratory birds experience different environments and are consequently exposed to different parasites throughout their annual cycles. Though, specific whereabouts and accompanied host-parasite interactions remain unknown for most migratory passerines. Collared sand martins (Riparia riparia) breeding in the western Palaearctic spend the nonbreeding period in A
Conditions experienced during early life can have long-term individual consequences by influencing dispersal, survival, recruitment and productivity. Resource allocation during development can have strong carry-over effects onto these key parameters and is directly determined by the quality of parental care. In the black sparrowhawk (Accipiter melanoleucus), a colour-polymorphic raptor, parental m
