The thesis explored how waste could be prevented through public procurement in the public institutions on the Danish island, Bornholm. The island has set an ambitious vision, ‘Bornholm showing the way – without waste 2032’, aiming for 100 % waste recycling and reuse by 2032. To reach the vision, it is essential to include waste prevention, particularly dematerialisation before goods are procured o
I svensk rätt finns ingen arvsrätt för sambor. Om samborna har bröstarvingar saknar de möjlighet att testamentera hela kvarlåtenskapen till varandra på grund av bröstarvingarnas rätt att få ut sin laglott. Uppsatsens syfte är att diskutera efterlevandeskyddet för sambor och om det är ändamålsenligt givet en modern syn på samboskap. Genom att studera gällande rätt och förarbeten identifieras vilkIn Swedish law, there is no right of inheritance for unmarried cohabitants. If the cohabitants have direct heirs, the cohabitants lack the opportunity to leave their entire estate to each other due to the heirs’ right to receive their statutory share of inheritance. The aim of this essay is to discuss the survivors’ protection for cohabitants and whether it is appropriate given a modern interpret
Electric road systems can be defined as a system transferring energy from a road to an electric vehicle while the vehicle is in motion, either to power the vehicle’s movement or to charge its batteries. This thesis aimed to investigate how this relatively new technology of electric road systems could be implemented in a port. The research was conducted by having a two-fold research purpose. Firstl
Vissa personer skiljer mycket mellan sina känslor, de rapporterar att de känner ilska, frustration, ledsamhet och nedstämdhet, medan andra personer inte skiljer särskilt mycket mellan sina känslor, de rapporterar att de mår bra eller att de mår dåligt. Förmågan att skilja mellan sina känslor kallas emotionell granularitet (EG). Tidigare forskning har kopplat ihop EG med bättre psykisk hälsa och stSome people differentiate a great deal between their emotional experiences, they report experiencing grief, sadness, frustration, anger etc. Other people seem to differentiate between their emotional experiences less, they report feeling good or bad. The ability to differentiate between emotions is called emotional granularity (EG). Previous studies have linked EG to higher psychological well-bein
Today, many cities around the world are looking for means to reduce their consumption-originated emissions and in this way improve their sustainability. Consequently, local governments are becoming increasingly interested in the potential of the ‘sharing economy’ (SE). By enabling the consumption of resources and services through sharing as opposed to purchasing goods for ownership, urban sharing
I en teoretisk studie har användbarheten av thermosyphoner för att förbättra säkerheten och effektiviseringen av kemiska reaktorer. Thermosyphoner är en simpel form av en ”heat pipe”, ett ihåligt och slutet rör som är delvis fyllt av en fluid. Om röret värms upp till fluidens kokpunkt inleds en inre fasomvandling vilket används för att förbättra rörets värmeledningsförmåga. Tre simuleringsmodellerIn a theoretical study the use of thermosyphons to improve the safety and efficiency of chem-ical reactors have been evaluated. Thermosyphons is a simple form of a “heat pipe”, a hollow and closed tube that’s partially filled with a fluid. When the pipe is heated up to the boiling temperature of the fluid within a phase change is initiated. The phase-change is used to im-prove the thermal conducti
Offentlig upphandling används som ett sätt för EU att uppnå målet med en inre marknad. Inom denna inre marknad är det viktigt att det råder en fri konkurrens mellan medlemsstaterna. Medlemsstaterna ska aktivt arbeta för att motverka inskränkningar av den fria rörligheten inom marknaden. Det finns flera lagar i Sverige rörande offentlig upphandling som bygger på olika EU-direktiv. Vilken lag soPublic procurement is used as a means for the EU to achieve the goal of a single market. Within this single market, there must be free competition between Member States. Member States shall actively work to counter restrictions to free movement within the market. In Sweden, there are several laws regarding public procurement that are based on EU directives. Which law is to be applied depends
Barnfridsbrottet i 4 § 3 kap. BrB är ett relativt nytt brott i svensk lagstiftning då det trädde i kraft 1 juli 2021. Lagstiftarens avsikt med bestämmelsen var att uppmärksamma barn som lever i miljöer där våld och andra brottsliga gärningar förekommer och låta deras röster höras genom hela den rättsliga processen. Forskning visar att barn som upplever våld mellan närstående är särskilt skadligt fThe criminalization of letting children witness violence or other crimes in Section 4, Chapter 3 in the Swedish Criminal Code is a relatively new offence as it came into force on 1 July 2021. The legislator's intention with this provision was to draw attention to children living in environments where violence and other criminal acts occur. Research shows that children who experience domestic v
This thesis strives to investigate and make sense of the complex regulations surrounding the availability of exploitable land along bodies of water in Sweden. With the Shore Protection regulations found in the Swedish Environmental Code it becomes apparent that most sought after land along the sea, lakes and running water for planning and construction in accordance to the Planning and Building Act
This research focuses on the determinants of participation in informal trade and firms for women in West Africa using the example of the Nana Benz in Togo as a case study. Women have been involved in informal trade for centuries, yet their role tends to be overlooked due to gender inequalities. Through a probabilistic approach and using data from Nigeria and Togo, I analyse the main characteristic
I slutet av april 2023 antogs Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2023/970 om stärkt tillämpning av principen om lika lön för kvinnor och män för lika eller likvärdigt arbete genom insyn i lönesättningen och efterlevnadsmekanismer. Uppsatsen avser undersöka lönetransparensdirektivet i förhållande till lagstiftning och den svenska modellen för kollektivavtal och lönebildning. Genom en rättsdogmaAt the end of April 2023, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Directive 2023/970 on the enhanced application of the principle of equal pay through pay transparency and enforcement mechanisms. This thesis aims to examine the Pay Transparency Directive in relation the Swedish legislation and model of collective agreements and wage formation. Using a legal dogmatic and EU law methodology,

This master thesis focuses on the creation of an algorithm to perform multispectral imaging of a metallic target using X-rays. The generation of an ultrashort high-power low-divergent X-ray beam is performed by means of a Ti:Sapphire laser driven wake-field plasma accelerator. The X-rays result from synchrotron radiation, and are therefore broadband. The spectrum will be characterized, along with

With a focus on rectal cancer. Rectal cancer is a disease which complications often affect the quality of life to a large extent for the affected. The principle of MMUS is based on applying a time-varying magnetic field that e
This thesis investigates potential ways to improve the image stabilization in Axis Communications surveillance cameras. The current in-house developed stabilization algorithm, Axis EIS, stabilizes based on gyroscope measurements. We compare a purely gyroscope based stabilization algorithm with a gyroscope-accelerometer sensor fusion stabilization algorithm, image-based stabilization algorithms and
In exploratory high-dimensional data analysis, local intrinsic dimension estimation can sometimes be used in order to discriminate between data sets sampled from different low-dimensional structures. Global intrinsic dimension estimators can in many cases be adapted to local estimation, but this leads to problems with high negative bias or high variance. We introduce a method that exploits the cur
