Bakgrund: Ikea har under en längre tid upplevt problem med felaktiga kapaciteter registrerade i deras system. Idag finns det inget gemensamt arbetssätt för att registrera och uppdatera kapacitetsinformation och därför reflekterar inte informationen i systemet leverantörernas verkliga kapaciteter. Detta gör det svårt för företaget att kunna ha en överblick över kapaciteterna och hur de är allokeradBackground:IKEA has, during a long time, experienced problems with incorrect capacities registered in their system. There is no standardized way of working with registering and updating the information regarding capacity today. Therefore, the information regarding the suppliers’ capacities does not reflect the reality. Furthermore, the company does not have a clear picture of how the capacities ar

Popular summary Energy generation from renewable sources is one of the main issues to be solved for the 21st century. One of the most advanced technologies currently available is wind energy, which has a large potential onshore and offshore. However, in many cases wind energy is restricted to large wind parks with wind power plants sometimes exceeding heights of 100 m. The construction of large wi

The Swedish government has specified a goal for the Swedish wind power that in 2020 it will generate 30 TWh of energy per year. This should be compared with the present energy produced from wind power of 2.5 TWh / year. To meet these goals, several thousand new wind turbines have to be built. Today, we build the most land-based wind turbines on strong and stiff soils, but probably in the future

To comply with the Paris Agreement and to deal with the threat caused by climate change, the Swedish Parliament has set ambitious targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. For the transport sector, which accounts for 30 % of total GHG emissions, a milestone target is to reduce GHG emission by 70 % by 2030 compared to 2010 (2030 goal). Biofuels is in this respect considered decisive to reach the

We live in a busy world, where the demand of ready-to-eat (RTE) salad products has increased rapidly in a relatively short time. Despite of being an easy and fast way to add more vegetables to the daily diet, RTE salads have a serious underlying risk and the amount of vegetable-derived foodborne disease outbreaks has been increasing. The aim of the present study is to protect plants against contam

To fully decarbonise the energy system, electrification is needed as one of the most important strategies for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in Sweden and Europe. The deployment of renewable energy resources plays a central role in electrification and will continue to increase. In January 2024, Svenska Kraftnät published a long-term market analysis with four future scenarios regarding the devel

Att mäta framgång i byggprojekt idag kan vara svårt. Dels att hitta en samsyn på vad framgång är dels hur man ska mäta framgång. Genom den forskning som finns inom området kan man konstatera att det är äldre metoder som används än idag för att mäta framgång. Dessa metoder har även modifierats med tiden och bildat nya metoder. De vanligaste områdena att mäta för att förstå framgång i forskning är tMeasuring success in construction projects today can be difficult—partly due to the lack of consensus on what success is, and partly due to the challenge of how to measure it. Existing research shows that older methods are still used to measure success, though many of these have been modified over time and evolved into new approaches. The most common aspects evaluated in research when measuring su

När domstolar ska tolka ett avtal och ett tolkningsalternativ inte kan väljas utifrån subjektiv- och objektiv tolkning finns det generella tolkningsregler el-ler prioritetsregler att tillämpa för att fastställa avtalsinnehållet. Huvudsakli-gen finns det två sådana som kan tillämpas, oklarhetsregeln och minimumre-geln. Oklarhetsregeln innebär att avtalet tolkas mot den som bär ansvaret för oklarhetWhen courts fail to choose an appropriate interpretation of a contract based on subjective and objective methods of interpretation, there are general rules of interpretation or priority which can be applied to determine a satisfactory meaning of the contract. Essentially, there are two such rules available. Ac-cording to the contra proferentem rule, the contract or clause is to be inter-preted aga

Efter det att ett offentligt uppköpserbjudande lämnats och accepterats av ägarna till över 90 % av aktierna (men inte samtliga) uppstår ett berättigat intresse för budgivaren att ta över resterande aktier. Syftet är ofta att effektivisera bolagsstyrningen, exempelvis att möjliggöra hållandet av en per capsulam-stämma istället för en administrativt betungande ordinarie stämma. Den kvarvarande minorFollowing a public takeover bid that has been accepted by more than 90% of the shareholders (though not all), the bidder acquires a legitimate interest in gaining full control of the target company. This is often motivated by a desire to streamline corporate governance and, for example, avoid the administrative burden of summoning a remaining minority to general meetings. However, the minority may

Utländska direktinvesteringar i EU skapar arbetstillfällen och för med sig kapital samt expertis från hela världen. Utländska direktinvesteringar är dock inte helt utan risk då de även kan ge upphov till hot mot säkerheten eller allmänna ordningen i unionen. I syfte att hantera dessa risker antogs förordning (EU) 2019/452 av den 19 mars 2019 om upprättande av en ram för granskning av utländska dirForeign direct investments into the EU creates jobs and brings in capital and expertise from all over the world. However, foreign direct investments are not without risks as they can also cause threats to public policy or security in the Union. To mitigate these risks, the EU regulation 2019/452 of 19 March 2019 establishing a framework for the screening of foreign direct investments into the Unio

För erhållande av flyktingstatus krävs det att den sökandes skyddsbehov kan hänföras till någon av de skyddsgrundande egenskaperna i flyktingdefinitionen. Om den sökande har en välgrundad fruktan för förföljelse av en annan anledning är hen alltså inte flykting. Då den sökande anför ett skyddsbehov sur place på grund av konversion fokuseras bedömningen på om den sökandes skyddsbehov är hänförligt In order to obtain refugee status, it requires that the applicant's need for protection attributes to one of the grounds of persecution in the refugee definition. Thus, if the refugee has a well-founded fear for other reasons, they are not a refugee. When the applicant states a need for protection sur place, for purposes of religious conversion, the refugee status determination focuses on whet

GABAergic Neurotrasmission – A “cross-talker” between inflammation and neural plasticity in stroke Stroke is a leading cause of disability and no pharmacological treatment is currently available to promote recovery in suffering patients. A major part of research is focusing on finding new biological targets which can be pharmacologically intervened with, providing favorable results in facilitatin

Anaerobic processes are an interesting alternative to treat wastewaters instead of aerobic treatments as it allows recovery of energy with the produced biogas while removing organic matter. In the industry, lots of low-strength industrial wastewaters are available and unused for biogas production due to their low concentration of organic material and high volumes (slaughterhouse wastewaters, dairi

How will baby fish react to global warming? As most people have been aware of, global warming is just one of many consequences of climate change and increasing CO2-levels in the atmosphere. The oceans are experts at absorbing energy, which makes the ocean temperature rise. In many parts of the world, especially Australia, the sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are increasing rapidly today. This is e

Overwash is the flow of water and sediment over the crest of a beach system when the runup level of waves or the water level, often enhanced by storm surge, exceeds the local beach or dune crest height. The impacts of overwash on coastal barriers or low lying mainland coasts are striking. Overwash may cause deposition of sand on and landward of the beach crest, large fan shaped deposits on back ba

Salinization of soil is recognised as one of the most pressing environmental challenges to resolve for the next century. We here conduct a synoptic review of the available research on how salt affects decomposer microbial communities and carbon (C) cycling in soil. After summarizing known physiological responses of microorganisms to salinity, we provide a brief overview and qualification of a sele

We present a study of spectral diagnostics available from optical spectra with R = 17 000 obtained with the VLT/Giraffe HR15n setup, using observations from the Gaia-ESO Survey, on the gamma Vel young cluster, with the purpose of classifying these stars and finding their fundamental parameters. We define several spectroscopic indices, sampling the amplitude of TiO bands, the H alpha line core and

Background: Timely and safe elective health care facilitates return to normal activities for patients and prevents emergency admissions. Surgery is a cornerstone of elective care and relies on complex pathways. This study aimed to take a whole-system approach to evaluating access to and quality of elective health care globally, using inguinal hernia as a tracer condition. Methods: This was a prosp

This thesis is inspired by the recent development within the Community concerning the standing of private parties to claims damages for harm caused by a breach of the EC antitrust rules. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) declared, in the cases of Courage and Manfredi, that this is a right deriving from the Treaty. In the wake of this change, the Commission has issued a Green Paper followed by a

The ''war on terror'' is very much a topic of the day. The main threat against the western society is said to no longer be armies controlled by belligerent states but non state actors, which by means of new technology have the potential of launching large scale attacks equivalent to attacks carried out by states. This thesis examines the means available in the military fight agains
