Increasing global interconnectivity, in terms of our economies, ecological systems and population dynamics, can reduce or amplify the risks posed by climate change. The ongoing Coronavirus 2019 crisis demonstrates how rapidly disasters and risks can cascade and escalate across countries to become a shared problem globally. Climate change impacts are increasingly being recognised not only as a nati

In induction heating processes with complex workpiece geometries or stringent requirements, more than one induction coil is usually needed to obtain acceptable results. One objective could be to achieve uniform heating, with minimal temperature variations throughout the workpiece. One frequency converter for each induction coil could be used, but it would not be cost-effective, and instead, it is

Digitala nomader är personer som genom distansarbete och digitala kommunikationsmedel skapar sig geografisk frihet och flexibilitet. Arbetssättet gör att personen i princip kan arbeta platsoberoende så länge en internetuppkoppling finns. Distansarbete är en ökande trend i samhället. År 2014 införde till exempel Estland ett digitalt e-medborgarskap, och blev först ut i världen med att erbjuda ett sDigital nomads are people who create geographical freedom and flexibility through teleworking and digital means of communication. The working method means that the person can, in principle, work independently as long as there is an internet connection. Teleworking is a growing trend in society, and, for example, Estonia introduced a digital e-citizenship in 2014 and became the first in the world t

All people, regardless of gender, are entitled to participate in cultural life. 41% of the permanent actors and actresses at the Royal Dramatic Theater in Stockholm are women. Only 34% of the Malmö Theater roles in 2009 went to actresses. There is a male norm, not only in Swedish society, but also in the Swedish theater. How does this norm look like and what methods are required to change it? Eve

The principal rule of the common market is that goods and services are able to move freely across the borders of Member States. State monopolies in control of supply and demand are, therefore, only under exceptional circumstances compatible with the conditions of the common market. The compatibility of Swedish State monopolies with EC law is a controversial matter. The case-law of the ECJ lets us

Att arbetsmarknaden är i ständig förändring råder det ingen tvekan om. Produktionen av både tjänster och varor efterfrågar nya former för förvärvande av arbetsprestationer. Mer eller mindre nya grepp inom företagsvärlden som till exempel utkontraktering och projektanställningar vittnar om detta. Förändringarna gör att gränsdragningen mellan att vara arbetstagare och uppdragstagare inte kan förväntThe labour market is constantly changing. The production of both services and goods are now acquiring labour in new forms. More or less new tendencies in business management such as outsourcing and project assignments are realities today. These changes add complexity to the process of defining whether a person, the work performing part, is to be considered as employed by the principal or as an ent

Counting opening cycles on an automatic sliding door is of great interest for a company manufacturing doors, such as ASSA Abloy. These metrics could be used for consumer statistics or for door diagnostics. Counting opening cycles is seemingly trivial when there is access to the door’s internal diagnostics or having adequate sensors. Problems start to arise when these are not present, which is the

Inom läkemedelssektorn, originalföretagen som investerar stora summor pengar i forskning och utveckling av nya läkemedel vanligtvis söker patent för flera skyddsområden. De försöker utnyttja det monopol ett patent ger för att skydda sina egna originalläkemedel mot generiska läkemedels marknadsinträde och utebliven vinst som det för med sig. Generiska företag för att kunna lansera sina generiska prIn the pharmaceutical sector, originator companies that invest large sum of money in R&D of new medicines usually file patent applications for several areas of protection. They try to take advantage of a monopoly that a patent grants to protect their medicines against generic entry on the market and consequently the loss of profits. Generic companies in order to be able to launch their generic

The peel test is a widely used method for evaluating adhesion in packaging materials. However, the result from a peel test is affected by more factors than only the adhesion. A method, based on beam theory, for calculating the adhesion considering these factors was used and evaluated. This was done by performing peel tests for different materials and peel angles. To obtain more knowledge about how
