Today energy supply is moving towards more renewable, which brings challenges to the power grid. Intermittent power is difficult to predict and cannot be regulated in the same way as conventional power. If the grid is not dimensioned to handle the power peaks, the intermittent power can cause overload on the grid. Overload causes larger losses, can damage electrical components in the grid and/or a

Beslut att hyra in arbetskraft är en del av arbetsgivarens ensamma arbetsledningsrätt i Sverige. Anställningsskyddslagstiftningen i Sverige är till för att skydda arbetstagare och inskränker därmed arbetsgivarprerogativet. Bemanningsarbete har länge debatterats i Sverige och legaliserades först år 1991 på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Diskussionen uppstår exempelvis gällande anställningsskyddsregle

Korrosion (rost) är ett stort forskningsområde som hunnit komma långt, men fortfarande finns det mycket kvar att lära. Detta kan man se enbart genom att reflektera över de nästan 100 miljarder kronor som korrosionsskador kostar samhället i Sverige årligen. Rostfritt stål har ett vilseledande namn då det faktiskt rostar i vissa miljöer. I detta projekt har korrosion av rostfritt stål undersökts i o

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions at the city scale continues to be of high priority. Oslo pioneered a cross-sectoral steering method ‘the climate budget’, effectively branding themselves as ’green leaders’.

An important component of air disc brakes for heavy-duty vehicles is an adjusting mechanism, abbreviated 'adjuster', that regulates the clearance between the brake pads and the brake disc. The clearance is important to control as it affects the brake capacity. Normally, adjusters operate to decrease the clearance to compensate for wear of the brake pads. Recently, Haldex Brake Products AB

The case company endeavors to be fossil free by 2030. In order to achieve that objective, the current packaging solution for kitchen and laundry appliances containing EPS plastic must be replaced with a packaging built on only fiber-based materials.

På senare år har utvecklingen inom EU på konkurrensrättens område medfört ett ökat fokus på privat tillämpning av konkurrensreglerna, där skadeståndstalan vid skada som uppstått till följd av överträdelser av EU:s antitrustregler utgör en särskilt viktig del. Rätten till skadestånd vid överträdelse av EU:s antitrustregler fastslogs av EU-domstolen i det s.k. Courage-målet år 2001. I de allra flestIn recent years, the development within the European Union in the field of competition law has brought an increased attention to private enforcement of competition law. Actions for damages following damage caused by restrictions of competition are of special importance in promoting such private enforcement. The right to claim damages for breach of EU antitrust rules was established by the Court of

Internationellt har begreppet "gå på pengarna" vunnit mark och mer effekti-va förverkandebestämmelser anses vara en viktig åtgärd i kampen för att spåra och återföra utbytet av brott. Förverkande vid brott har till avsikt att verka avskräckande genom att förhindra brottslingar att dra nytta av brott samt återinvestera utbytet av brott i ny brottslig verksamhet. Vidare har förverkande somInternationally, the concept of "follow the money trail" has gained ground, and more efficient forfeiture provisions are considered an important meas-ure in the fight to track down and return the proceeds of crime. Forfeiture provisions are designed to deter crime by preventing criminals to benefit from crime and reinvest the proceeds of crime in new criminal activity. Furthermore, forfe

In order for the Company to take the next step in their production process of radio units, a standardization project has begun with the purpose of creating better collaboration between the manufacturing sites. The Company’s work with standards has paved the way for new concepts within final assembly. Their old and rigid manufacturing setup simply does not meet the requirements. The final assembly

In northern Sweden, insectivorous bats must face challenging conditions throughout most of the year, with longer and colder winters compared to the south, and continuous daylight for several weeks during the summer. The northern bat (Eptesicus nilssonii) is common in Sweden, despite experiencing population declines over the last 30 years, and can be found at high latitudes across Europe. This stud
