When low calorific value gases are fired, the performance and stability of gas turbines may deteriorate due to a large amount of inertballast and changes in working fluid properties. Since it is rather rare to have custom-built gas turbines for low lower heating value (LHV) operation, the engine will be forced to operate outside its design envelope. This, in turn, poses limitations to usable fuel

Denna uppsats beskriver den svenska narkotikastraffrätten med särskilt fokus på det egna bruket i en historisk kontext genom att sätta lagstiftningsarbetet i den politiska och kulturella verklighet som var närvarande vid lagstiftningen.

This study seeks, with an internet based survey containing ten pages taken from five different manga, to identify if people who read manga (Japanese comics) absorb every part of a presented manga page. It will attempt to see how well they understand various aspects of the Japanese language and what the readers focus lies on within each page, as well as touch upon the subject of using manga as a to

At Haväng in eastern Scania, South Sweden, an underwater landscape occurs on the seabed. The landscape consists of deep-rooted pines standing in organic deposits. Due to sea level changes, the area was exposed during two phases (11,700 to 10,700 and 10,000 to 8,500 years ago) so that pines could live there, to subsequently drown and end up submerged. This study aims to show how the Baltic Sea form

Ur ett internationellt perspektiv har Sverige ett högt anseende gällande jämställdhet mellan kvin- nor och män. Trots detta finns det en generell löneskillnad på 12,5 procent mellan könen. Att det finns oförklarade löneskillnader mellan kvinnor och män kan förklaras med att Sverige har en könssegregerad arbetsmarknad. Statistiskt sett finns det oförklarade löneskillnader, men Arbets- domstolen harSweden is regarded as one of the top countries in the world in terms of equality between wom-en and men. Even so, there is a general pay gap of 12.5 % between the sexes. The unex-plained pay differences between women and men can be explained by a gender segregated labour market. Even though statistics show unexplained pay differences between the sexes, there has not been a single conviction of pay

The worlds shipping must reach a 55 percent reduction in carbon dioxide by 2050. This is a massive challenge that will have an effect on every ship, every shipowner and every yard all over the world.

The purpose of this study examines how shipping

Då andelen äldre ökar globalt kommer allt fler personer vara i behov av medicinteknisk utrustning, såsom hygienstolar, för att genomföra olika basala hygienrelaterade aktiviteter. Kommodpannor är vanliga tillbehörsprodukter till hygienstolar som traditionellt har fästs under hygienstolens sitts med hjälp av skenor, en fästmetod som medför hygienproblem samt en klämrisk för vårdtagaren.This thesis project was completed in collaboration with Arjo, a MedTech company headquartered in Malmö, Sweden. Arjo’s product offering is largely centered around providing healthier outcomes for individuals with limited mobility and includes products for patient transfer, hygiene, disinfection, etc. One product type which is central to Arjo’s mission is the hygiene chair.

I svensk rätt är barn, precis som vuxna, ett rättssubjekt och därmed bärare av rättigheter och skyldigheter vilket i sin tur innebär att även barn är partsbehöriga. Eftersom barn kan vara partsbehöriga kan de även ha talerätt för det fall tvisten hänför sig till en rättighet eller skyldighet kopplat till barnet. Det går dock snabbt att konstatera att barn saknar samtliga delar av talerätten i mål Children, just like adults, are legal entities according to Swedish law and legislation. This implies they have both rights and obligations to face, which in addition means they also have party capacity. Since children have party capacity they can also have the right to litigate in cases where the legal dispute is connected to rights or obligations of the child. It is easy to realize that children
