Many actors in the construction sector as well as in the research community emphasize the importance of experience feedback and knowledge building in order to streamline and improve the working methods. Taking advantage of positive experiences, sharing them with colleagues and documenting them within the organisation can be useful for future projects. On the other hand, negative experiences should
This study aims to investigate the possibility of creating template times for rail works. Furthermore the study identifies a few effects which template times could have on planning of rail works, traffic and economy. Template times are being considered by the Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, for the early stages of planning when there is a need to estimate the time required within t
For the last couple of years, the popularity of e-bikes has grown substantially. Thanks to the electric motor people can now ride uphill and longer distances without arriving at their destination sweaty and exhausted. But even if the function of electric bikes is great I saw problems in the design of the bikes that are currently on the market. Problems that made them very unattractive for
This thesis was conducted to quantitatively describe environmental and economic benefits from reuse of office furniture together with a status analysis of methods used to calculate that kind of data. Information was gathered from literature and interviews with industry players. The results from the different sources were initially presented separately and later compiled to demonstrate what they in
I denna uppsats behandlas den aktuella och pågående debatten gällande det kontroversiella beslutet om att fotbolls-VM ska hållas i Qatar 2022. Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra de olika ställningstaganden för eller emot bojkott utav fotbolls-VM i Qatar 2022 utifrån åtta stycken svenska artiklar. Genom en argumentationsanalys har åtta artiklar analyserats för att klargöra artiklarnas olika s
In the early 20th century liberalism had an upswing. New treaties were signed, and the everlasting peace had finally arrived. In the Far East, Japan was emerging from an agricultural society and making major leaps toward industrialization. They had huge demands in recourses like oil and steel. As an emerging power Japan wanted to compare themselves with USA, Great Britain, and Germany. Their imper
Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda på vilka grunder ett moderbolag kan hållas ansvarig för sitt dotterbolags miljöfarliga verksamhet. Utöver detta så ska gällande rätt på området studeras med syfte att utreda om rättsläget är att betrakta som tillfredsställande eller om det finns ett behov av lagändring. Uppsatsen är av såväl miljörättslig som associationsrättslig karaktär. Miljörättsligt såThe purpose with this study is to examine on what grounds a parent company can be held responsible for pollution caused by its subsidiaries. To reach the purpose, the study will focus on illustrating the difficulties that can arise when applying the concepts of operator and piercing the corporate veil when a corporate group relationship is present. The purpose is also to examine whether establishe
Since good cameras are becoming cheaper and embedded systems are getting more powerful, using cameras as the only sensor is getting more popular for visual navigation of robots. By using a robot to explore a flat surface a map can be gradually generated using the images taken by a downward looking camera. The thesis focus lies primarily on offline map building, where complete datasets are first ga
Introduction: Snus is suggested as a risk factor for cardiometabolic disease, but little is known about health effects in young populations, particularly in women. We aimed to investigate associations between snus and cardiometabolic health markers among young men and women. Aims and Methods: This study was conducted within the BAMSE (Swedish acronym for Children, Allergy, Environment, Stockholm,
Despite of intensive search for the proper semiconductor base materials for spintronic devices working at room temperature no appropriate material based on ferromagnetic semiconductors has been found so far. We demonstrate that the phase segregated system with MnSb hexagonal inclusions inside the GaSb matrix, formed directly during the molecular beam epitaxial growth reveals the ferromagnetic prop
Potential impacts of projected climate change on biodiversity are often assessed using single-species bioclimatic 'envelope' models. Such models are a special case of species distribution models in which the current geographical distribution of species is related to climatic variables so to enable projections of distributions under future climate change scenarios. This work reviews a number of cri
Replications are commonly considered to be important contributions to investigate the generality of empirical studies. By replicating an original study it may be shown that the results are either valid or invalid in another context, outside the specific environment in which the original study was launched. The results of the replicated study show how much confidence we could possibly have in the o
Knowledge about subjects who sustain hip fractures in middle age is poor. This study prospectively investigated risk factors for hip fracture in middle age and compared risk factors for cervical and trochanteric hip fractures. The Malmo Preventive Project consists of 22,444 men, mean age 44 years, and 10,902 women, mean age 50 years at inclusion. Baseline assessment included multiple examinations
OBJECTIVE: To examine possible estrogen dependent endometrial expression of MMP-26 in vitro. DESIGN: Experimental study. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Palacky University Medical School and University Hospital, Olomouc, Czech Republic, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospital, Lund, Sweden. METHODS: We studied MMP-26 mRNA in 14 normal endometrial sample
Unsaturated solute transport is highly variable and therefore difficult to predict. In semi-arid areas, where water resources are limited, the presence of macropores is of great importance for crop production. The bromide ion (Br-) and dye tracers are useful for studies of water movement. One approach to describe the heterogeneous solute transport is to apply the concept of fractals to a dataset.
Binding of calcium to the protein calmodulin leads to molecular reorganization that enables interaction with target peptides and activation of downstream processes. I have studied the dynamics of the calcium-loaded form of a C-terminal calmodulin mutant (E140Q-Tr2C) using NMR spin relaxation experiments. E140Q-Tr2C exhibits global conformational exchange on the microsecond time-scale. The populati
