All judicial power is to be condemned by the law according to the Swedish constitution but does this apply to a frame law where there is a legal gap that the decision makers can fill with other norms than legal norms? According to the paradigm of sociology of law do other factors than just legal norms affect the judicial decision. This means that the judicial decisions might be affected by factors

This report aims to give insights to the oat processing industry and the effects of kilning and storage. Temperature and relative humidity used during kilning of oat kernels was shown to have a large effect on protein solubility and lipase inactivation. Steaming with saturated steam at 90 ℃ was found to inactivate all lipases, but still leave a relatively high protein solubility. An industrial kil

Inom den svenska inkomstskatterätten används ibland civilrättsliga begrepp som utgångspunkt. Även om detta ofta kan ske problemfritt uppstår ibland frågan om en rättshandling på grund av omständigheterna i fallet ska beskattas enligt dess yttre form, eller om den i stället ska beskattas enligt sin verkliga innebörd. Domstolen har i vissa fall kommit att omkvalificera rättshandlingar vars innehåll Swedish tax law often utilizes concepts derived from civil law. The use of these concepts is in many cases without complications. However, occasionally, the question of how a specific transaction or other act of law should be qualified arises; should the act be legally qualified and taxed according to its form, or should it be legally qualified and taxed according to its “real meaning”. There are

Achieving a sustainable Swedish industry will require better utilization of resources already available and already spent. Nationally, vast amounts of heat are released into the atmosphere and not made use of. If only a fraction of this energy could be exploited, the path to net zero emission society by 2045 would be thousands of tons worth of CO2 closer. In Sweden, 25% of excess heat delivered to

Terapeutens anknytningsmönster, ett nytt fokus som visat vikten av att förstå hur aktuell terapeutegenskap påverkar i den terapeutiska situationen.

Continuous production control is important for the production using Tetra Pak equipment, as problems that are found early in the chain of production can minimize the need for waste greatly. In production of paper straws, a possible production control could be to photograph straws during production, analyse these and predict how good the straw is, using the image. If the predicted performance of th

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has emerged to cover the company’s responsibility in their participation in solving social problems. Research has shown that CSR planning and implementation vary significantly between developed and developing countries. Previous literature on CSR were mainly dominated by Western nuances, and they overlooked the implication of socio-cultural aspects in the deve

This study explores the cross-section between sustainability assessment and research reviewing- and evaluation at an early development stage of emerging technical solutions´ by conducting a case study on Sustainability Readiness Level, a tool used in the application and reviewing process of the Strategic Innovation Programme (SIP) BioInnovation. The aim of the thesis is to gain a deeper understand

Cameras mounted on boats and in other similar environments can be hard to use if waves and wind cause unwanted motions of the camera which disturbs the desired image. However, this is a problem that can be fixed by applying mechanical image stabilization which is the goal of this thesis. The mechanical image stabilization is achieved by controlling two stepper motors in a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camer

I ägarledda bolag där aktieägare i regel också är aktiva som organledamöter är det viktigt att kunna reglera beslutsfattandet i bolaget och att ha kontrollen över ägarkretsen. Aktieägarna kan använda styrningsverktygen bolagsordningen och aktieägaravtalet för att reglera detta. Det övergripande syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka förhållandet mellan bolagsordningen och aktieägaravtalet som sIn closely held companies, shareholders are often also involved as Board members and in these companies it is important to govern the decision-making process and the sale of shares. The Articles of Association and the Shareholders’ agreement are governing instruments and can be used for this purpose. The overall purpose of this thesis is to examine the relationship between the Article of Associati

Stormwater from urban areas contain a number of pollutants, among which nitrogen and phosphorous have been of lesser focus. In this study I aim to investigate if biochar has the potential to fill the role as water filter in urban areas, and to pin point what should be experimentally investigated in order to evaluate biochar in comparison to two contemporary filter systems: bioreactors and chalk fi

To increase productivity in the rail industry, the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) has decided to increase the percentage of projects procured as turnkey projects. Two recent projects, a railway switch exchange and a track replacement has been contracted as turnkey projects and the purpose of this project is to conduct an experience feedback of them. The goal is to find and enlight

Nowadays, huge amounts of data are transferred over the Internet. Video content is a vast majority of the data traffic. A part of this data is wasted due to many reasons. Transmitting large amounts of data across a network leads to network congestion and start-up delay of the video playback, which is one of the reasons of data loss. Another reason is the negative effect of impatient users or so-ca

Syftet med denna avhandling är att undersöka användningen av naturrättsligt språkbruk i de danska agrarreformerna, cirka 1750-1800. Detta görs genom en social kontextualisering som fokuserar på de sprickor som fanns i det danska samhället före och under reformperioden. Jag hävdar att dessa huvudsakligen utgjordes av interna materiella skillnader inom den danska jordägande eliten, inklusive deras oPopular science description The agrarian reforms of the 18th century were some of the most momentous historical events in Danish history. In the span of 30 years, half of all peasants went from living in a state of serfdom to owning and cultivating their own plots of land, free from the onerous ties of manorial dependence that they had toiled under for hundreds of years. In this pioneering dissert
