Ett byggprojekt inleds ofta med att beställaren har en idé och visst behov av bebyggelse. Det som ska byggas finns inte och för att kunna upphandla en entreprenad behöver beställarens idé och behov beskrivas i någon form, som gör det möjligt för idén och behovet att förverkligas vid utförandet. Som led i detta behöver byggnaden projekteras en process där varje steg blir mer detaljerat och inkluderA construction project usually starts with the client having an idea or a specific need for development. What needs to be built does not exist yet, and to procure a contract with a building contractor, the client’s ideas and needs must be described in a way that makes it possible for them to be realised by the contractor during development. As part of this the building needs to be designed, a proc

In the contemporary global context, the global focus on reducing environmental impacts in any formats has intensified. This study intends to assess the environmental impacts and life cycle costs associated with the A1-A5 stages (production and construction stages) of the Köping Port project and eight additional proposed scenarios. The Solidification/ Stabilization method along with the in-situ tec

This study aimed to examine how immigrant mothers experience parenting and raising children in a new cultural context in Sweden. Furthermore, the purpose of this study was to inquire about immigrant mothers' views regarding societal support. The study was based on a qualitative method using semi-structured interviews with seven immigrant mothers from various countries in the Middle East with e

Hydrogels are polymeric networks capable of retaining large amounts of water. They have high biocompatibility and have thus received great attention for various biomedical applications, including as wound dressing and drug delivery agents. They can be fabricated using several methods and from various polymers. In this project, we explored the enzymatic crosslinking of gelatine hydrogels using micr

Bedrägerier genom social manipulation har under de senaste åren ökat markant och medför betydande förluster för bankkunder. Lag (2010:751) om betaltjänster (betaltjänstlagen) förutsätter att en transaktion är obehörig för att huvudregeln i 5 a kap. 1 § om återställande ska anses tillämplig, och kunden har möjlighet att få tillbaka det förlorade beloppet. Enligt praxis från Allmänna reklamationsnämBank fraud based on social engineering, where victims are persuaded to authorise the payment themselves, has risen sharply in recent years, causing substantial losses for customers. Under the Swedish Payment Services Act (2010:751), the restitution rule in Chapter 5a Section 1 applies only where the payment is regarded as an unauthorised transaction. Current practice of the Swedish National Board

The global shift in the food system towards more sustainable diets has made legumes such as chickpeas, lentils and beans increasingly important due to their nutritional and environmental benefits. But despite these benefits that they offer, their consumption remains relatively low. A key reason for this, is the digestive discomfort they cause such as bloating and flatulence alongside reduced miner

A search for new charged massive gauge bosons, called W', is performed with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 8 TeV, using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1). This analysis searches for W' bosons in the W' -> t (b) over tilde decay channel in final states with electrons or muons, using a multivariate me

Neuroblastomas (NBs) are tumours of the sympathetic nervous system accounting for 8-10% of paediatric cancers. NBs exhibit extensive intertumour genetic heterogeneity, but their extent of intratumour genetic diversity has remained unexplored. We aimed to assess intratumour genetic variation in NBs with a focus on whole chromosome changes and their underlying mechanism. Allelic ratios obtained by S

The forms of water and their thermal stability in bedded salt are crucial in determining the material's suitability for heat-generating nuclear waste storage. Here we show first-of-its-kind incoherent inelastic neutron scattering (IINS) results of bedded salts to distinguish three water environments: intergranular water molecules confined to grain boundaries, water trapped as brine in fluid inclus

Energy-saving glass is becoming very popular in building design due to their effective shielding of building interior against heat entering the building with infrared (IR) waves. This is obtained by depositing a thin layer of metallic-oxide on the glass surface using special sputtering processes. This layer attenuates IR waves and hence keeps buildings cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Howeve

Background: The majority of non-syndromic colorectal cancers (CRCs) can be described as a complex disease. A two-stage case-control study on CRC susceptibility was conducted to assess the influence of the ancestral alleles in the polymorphisms previously associated with nutrition-related complex diseases. Methods: In stage I, 28 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in a hospital-b

Familial Platelet Disorder with associated Myeloid Malignancy (FPDMM, FPD/AML, RUNX1-FPD), caused by monoallelic deleterious germline RUNX1 variants, is characterized by bleeding diathesis and predisposition for hematologic malignancies, particularly myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Clinical data on FPDMM-associated AML (FPDMM-AML) are limited, complicating evidence

Interfirm self-regulation through trade associations is common but its effectiveness is debated and likely varies by time, country, and industry. This study examines self-regulation of pharmaceutical marketing, characterized by delegation of major regulatory responsibilities to trade associations' self-regulatory bodies. In addressing critical research gaps, this study first analyzes 1,776 complai

Background: Persistent non-plateauing adverse event rates in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remain a challenge. A bioadaptor is a novel implant that addresses this issue by restoring the haemodynamic modulation of the artery, allowing cyclic pulsatility, vasomotion, and adaptative remodelling, by unlocking and providing dynamic support to the artery. We aimed to as

Background: Management of traumatic spinal cord injury is complex and depends on a multidisciplinary approach involving pre-hospital services, spinal surgery, intensive care unit treatment and specialized rehabilitation. International clinical practice guidelines for the handling of these patients offer specific recommendations regarding transportation, radiological investigations, timing of surge

The nearest neighbour level spacing distribution and the Δ3 statistic of level fluctuations associated with very high spin states (I ≳ 30) in rare-earth deformed nuclei are analysed by means of a cranked shell model. The many particle-many hole configurations created in the rotating Nilsson potential are mixed by the surface-delta two-body residual interaction. The levels in the near-yrast region

The logistics concepts at BMW's engine factory in Munich are continuously revised, in order to optimise the logistics process. The objective of this thesis work is to study if it would be profitable to use an individual, reusable package for transporting and handling engine wiring harnesses in order to prevent damages. Approach The work was divided into different stages. First the flow of th

The aim of this paper was to examine how social workers' comprehension of the need of financial aid exists in, and is influated by, the organisation they work in. To investigate this, we asked ourself questions concerning how the social worker view the way that the finicial aid-system and work surrounding it is formed, whether the social worker's understanding of the need of financial aid

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are primitive tissue-specific somatic stem cells, responsible for the maintenance and replenishment of the bone marrow (BM) and subsequently the entire blood system. The never-ending ability to differentiate into all the mature hematopoietic lineages makes these HSCs attractive candidates for use in future regenerative medicine. HSCs are balanced between different f
