Den stigberoende drivmedelsindustrin Hur kommer det sig att det finns så många olika biodrivmedel tillgängliga men att inga har slagit igenom stort på marknaden? Denna uppsats undersöker begränsningar och drivkrafter med att införa två biodrivmedel, etanol och dimetyleter, på marknaden. Intervjuer med två stora fordonsföretag samt en litteraturstudie har genomförts. Med dagens utsläpp av växthusThere are a number of existing and new biofuels on the Swedish market. These operate differently and need to be managed in different ways. In order to solve problems associated with the transport sector's large and unsustainable energy consumption and emissions of CO2, it is important to study how biofuels can work in practice and gain a broad knowledge of prerequisites for their mainstream ma

Klimatet under Kvartärperioden har dominerats av återkommande istider, då bl.a. Skandinavien och Sverige varit täckt av inlandsis. Vid analysen av långsiktig säkerhet för det planerade förvaret av använt kärnbränsle, i Sverige, behöver tider på upp till en miljon år beaktas. Under denna mycket långa tid förväntas nya nedisningar komma och därför utförs ett forskningsprogram på Grönland för att ökaDuring the Quaternary period, the climate has been dominated by glacial cycles resulting in periodic ice sheet coverage over Scandinavia and Sweden. In the scenarios for future climate development used in the assessment of long-term safety for planned repository of spent nuclear fuel, the possibility of future glaciations need to be considered. The present study is part of a larger hydrological st

Ett objekt som placeras i det starka magnetfältet i en MR-kamera kommer att bli magnetiserat. Magnetiseringen beskrivs av materialets magnetiska susceptibilitet. Olika delar av hjärnan har olika susceptibilitet vilket gör det möjligt att använda susceptibilitet som en källa till kontrast i MR-bilder. Susceptibiliteten i hjärnan varierar inte enbart med olika vävnader och strukturer utan också med An object in an external magnetic field will be magnetized and the degree of magnetization is dependent of the magnetic susceptibility of the object. The local magnetic field inside and around an object in the MR scanner will change due to the magnetization of the object. The phase shift is proportional to the local magnetic field, which means that phase images hold information about the susceptib

In 2015 the EU introduced Directive 2015/720 on the reduction of the consumption of lightweight plastic carrier bags creating the first transnational agreement on plastic bag issue in the world. This Directive sets the scope within which Member States will design their own policies in order to reach a significant reduction in the plastic bag consumption over the following years. Greece is one of t

It is commonly understood that Intellectual Property Regimes are aimed at protecting private rights and in doing so sometimes neglect public interests. Historically IP systems were considered to allow authors or creators to secure certain monopolies on rights, hence in the 1970s and 1980s the concern over public needs came forward requiring the IP system to respond to it in a way that would stimul

The occurrence of wildfires is greatly dependent on an ecoregions typical climate and land cover type. To investigate whether climate or land cover primarily lead to wildfires in the conterminous United States, wildfire events from 1999- 2010 are analyzed. Wildfires are divided into years and eco-divisions, a sub-form of ecoregions. To assess whether warmer and dryer divisions are more severely a

This bachelor’s degree project focuses on the subject of urban development, where the intention is to compare the approaches of the development of new districts in Copenhagen and Stockholm. In order to enable urban development, there are many underlying processes and documents that must be handled by the municipality. Among these documents, the detail- and overview plan are two of the main topics

Under anställningsperioden skyddar lojalitetsplikten arbetsgivaren från konkurrens av sina anställda. När anställningen upphör får arbetstagaren i princip fritt konkurrera med arbetsgivaren. Konkurrensklausuler kan förenklat sägas förlänga lojalitetsplikten att gälla efter anställningens upphörande. Det har på senare tid blivit vanligare med alternativ till de traditionella konkurrensklausulerna During the period of employment the duty of loyalty protects the employer from competition of its employees. When the employment ends the employee is in essence free to compete with the employer. Non-compete clauses can simplified be said to extend the duty of loyalty after the end of the employment. Recently alternatives to the traditional non-compete clauses have become more common in contract

Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka unga konsumenters uppfattning om lojalitet inom klädbranschen samt deras upplevelse av företags lojalitetsprogram i relation till kundlojalitet. Metod: Denna kvalitativa studie har en abduktiv ansats där en kontinuerlig reflektion av teori och empiri har genomförts under hela skapandeprocessen. Den kvalitativa datainsamlingen har realiserats genom 14 stycken semistrPurpose: The purpose is to examine young consumers' perception of loyalty in the clothing industry as well as their experiences of how loyalty programs generate customer loyalty. Methodology: This qualitative study has an abductive approach where a dynamic and continuous reflection of theory and empiricism has been carried out throughout the creation process. The qualitative data collection h

30 juni 2022 trädde en omfattande ändring av lag (1982:80) om anställ-ningsskydd i kraft. Ändringarna syftade dels till att göra det lättare för ar-betstagare att komma in samt få en trygg anställning på arbetsmarknaden, dels att göra det enklare och mer flexibelt för arbetsgivare att anställa och avsluta anställningar och därmed minska riskerna med att anställa. Bland annat bytte allmän visstidOn June 30, 2022, a comprehensive amendment to the Employment Protec-tion Act (1982:80) came into effect. The changes aimed to make it easier for employees to enter and secure employment in the labor market, as well as to simplify and provide more flexibility for employers in hiring and terminating employment, thereby reducing the risks associated with hiring. Amongst other changes "general f

The purpose of this master’s thesis is to investigate how librarians at public libraries relate to guidelines and governing documents when it comes to acquisition of materials that can be perceived as controversial, and how they think and act in cases where such difficult decisions about acquisitions must be made. Considering paragraph 2 of the Swedish library act which states that: “libraries in

Sammanfattning Denna uppsats kommer främst att behandla i vilken mån upphovsmän skyddas efter att de genom avtal överlåtit sin upphovsrätt till någon annan. För att upphovsmän ska kunna dra nytta av sina verk måste de i flesta fallen överlåta sin upphovsrätt till verket till ett förvärvare, oftast ett företag som senare utnyttjar och exploaterar dessa. Upphovsmannen har ett starkt skydd för sina Summary This essay will go thorough and discuss what kind of protection authors in the digital single market are given when they by contract transfer their copyright to someone else. In most cases, an author must first transfer it to another user in order to make use of or gain from his or her copyright. More often than not this user is some form of company that exploits the copyright. In Swedish

Vid konstruktion av bullerskärmar så väljs vanligtvis pålning som grundläggningstyp. Det finns flera modeller som kan approximera ett krav på minsta pållängd beroende på olika typer jordförhållande och vindlast. Om pålen ska placeras vid en slänt blir dock beräkningarna betydligt mer osäkra då inverkan av en slänt på den horisontella stabiliteten är svår att uppskatta. Denna rapport har analyseratWhen designing noise screens, piling is usually the chosen foundation type. There are several approximating models that can be used to determine the required pile length; these depend on the soil conditions and wind loads. However, if the pile is placed near a slope, the calculations will be considerably more uncertain as the impact of a slope on the horizontal stability of the pile is difficult t

This paper is initiated to analyze the trade related human rights diplomacy of the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) in Cambodia. In doing so, the thesis is conducted to provide definition and tools of the human right diplomacy that have been utilized by State and Non-State actors at all level. The thesis also examines the human rights situations in Cambodia with the focus on labour r

This thesis is a propositional study, analysing to what extent conventional concepts of urban housing architecture require updating in response to increasingly progressive living patterns developing in Europe. The propositional design is a modular system including permanent housing for short-term accommodation - alongside a trail of public walkways - which inhabits, activates and connects a netwo

Delivery lead time (DLT) is seen as one of the most important service factors affecting the consumers willingness to fulfill a purchase within online retailing (Esperet al., 2003). The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the effect variations in the offered DLT have on customer conversion rate within e-commerce. This is done by analyzing historical online customer demand data from a case comp

The case company endeavors to be fossil free by 2030. In order to achieve that objective, the current packaging solution for kitchen and laundry appliances containing EPS plastic must be replaced with a packaging built on only fiber-based materials. This master thesis is focusing on identifying the packaging requirements for a replacement and how these requirements influence the packaging material

Today there are several public libraries in Sweden that are engaged in the campaign Digidel 2013, a campaign that aims to increase the digital participation among citizens. The democratic aspects of such activities are the focal point of this thesis. The purpose of this master’s thesis is to contribute to a better understanding of the public libraries exercise of their democratic and social func

Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) is a technique to rapidly collect detailed and accurate data of an object. The technology can briefly be described as a laser beam emitted by an instrument which sweeps across a target object collecting millions of closely placed coordinates (x,y,z) in a matter of minutes. Terrestrial Laser Scanning technology has existed for a long time however only in recent year
