This is a project in product development made for ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems which is a manufacturer of sliding doors among other products. The objective of this project is to come up with a solution which offers an improved air sealing capability for a set of sliding doors all while the friction remains either the same or lower compared to before. The development process began with collecting in
ABSTRACT The domestic violence among lgbt - persons is a social problem and should be treated as such. Until now it has not been investigated as much as domestic violence amongst heterosexuals. This despite the fact that it is known that between 20 and 50 % (Alexander 2002) of homosexual couples have suffered from it. In other words it is as common as within heterosexual couples. The science and r
This thesis is a concept study performed at Caran AB by order of Volvo Car Corporation, VCC. The background is a market research performed by VCC. From the research, a need for a product that facilitates reaching the trunk level in Volvo’s SUV, XC90, was recognized. It was also found, that dogs seem to find it difficult to get up in the trunk, why dogs have been accounted for during the developmen
Syfte: Studien ämnar undersöka ifall procent korrekt skattade kreditbetyg kan påvisas vara högre än vad tidigare forskning fastställt vid en branschspecifik undersökning av teknologibranschen samt allmännyttiga företag. Studien ämnar även, i samma kontext, undersöka om procent korrekt skattade kreditbetyg visar sig vara högre vid dessa två separata branschspecifika undersökningar än vid en undersöPurpose: The study aims to investigate if the percent correctly predicted credit ratings can be shown to be higher than previous research has established with an industry-specific survey of technology and utility companies. The study also aims to, in the same context, examine if the percent correctly predicted credit ratings proves to be higher in the these two separate industry-specific than in a
Pelare som utsätts för tryck kan behöva stabiliseras för att inte böja ut oönskat mycket i sidled. För att stabilisera pelaren måste fjäderstyvheten i det stabiliserande stödet vara tillräckligt stort. Detta för att undvika instabilitetsbrott men också för att fjäderkraften i stödet inte ska bli för stor. För en pelare med en led i toppen och i botten beräknas vanligen Eulers knäckningslast P_e=(Columns under vertical point loads will need a brace in order not to bend out in a mode of column buckling. To stabilize the column, a sufficient brace stiffness needs to be given, both to avoid column instability and to reduce the horizontal force which occurs in the brace. Column buckling is usually determined by Eulers buckling formula P_e=(π^2 EI)/l^2 . This is the value when buckling occurs r
The aim of this study is to examine the determinants of capital structure via a cross-country comparison between the U.S.A. and Sweden. With the consideration of firm specific factors, the main focus is on researching country effect and macroeconomic impacts on firms’ financing policy. Including both country and macroeconomic factors in the research allows for having a new approach on the topic. T

During 1918−36 he was also a member of the Chapter in the Diocese of Gothenburg, Church of Sweden.Before 1937, lecturers in the old grammar schools were ex officiomembers of the diocesan chapter. The agnostic Wigforss took his seat in the chapter
Government regulations and customs duties restrict the import of trucks to some of the markets to which Scania tries to sell their trucks. The distribution problem due to these regulations is solved by the foreign assembly department, KD, at Scania. This means that competence is needed and costs are added not related to Scania's core operations. The aim of this master thesis has been to analy
Males should invest in mate attraction, mate guarding and paternal care in relation to the marginal fitness value of each of those behaviours. Since time and energy are limited, trade-offs between these activities are expected. This study demonstrates that monogamous male European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) decrease their paternal effort in response to increased opportunities to attract addition
Denna studie undersökte förhållandet mellan de tre personlighetsdragen som ingår i den Mörka Triaden (Machiavellianism, Narcissism och Psykopati) och attityder gentemot etiska företagspolicies. 114 deltagare deltog i en onlineundersökning som mätte den Mörka Triaden och sju policyfrågor. Deltagarna med de högsta poängen på Mörka Triaden (övre 30 procenten) jämfördes med deltagarna med de lägsta poThis study investigated the relationship between the three personality traits of the Dark Triad (Machiavellianism, Narcissism and Psychopathy) and attitudes towards ethical company policies. 114 participants took part in an online survey, measuring the Dark Triad and seven policy-questions. The participants with the highest scores on the Dark Triad (upper 30 percent) was compared to the participan
När barn tvångsvårdas på grund av brister i hemmiljön enligt Lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU) är avsikten att de ska återförenas med sina föräldrar när grunden för vården upphör enligt den s.k. återföreningsprincipen. Strävandet kan tillgodoses när domstol fattar beslut om hemtagning enligt 21 § LVU, varpå vården upphör och barnet får flytta tillbaka till sina föräldrThe principle of reunification is the guiding principle when a child is taken care of in a family home in accordance with the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU). This means that the purpose is that a child shall be reunited with its parents once the conditions that founded the decision no longer exist. Hence, the court can decide to end the care based on 21 § LVU, whereafter the child moves home to i
Principen om barnets bästa ska vara avgörande i alla frågor som rör vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Den bärande principen återfinns i både FN:s barnkonvention och i föräldrabalken. Principen ska fungera som en rättslig vägledning vid alla utredningar i mål som rör barn, men det finns ingen universellt fastslagen definition av vad som faktiskt är barnets bästa. Utgångspunkterna är att bedöma barnets bThe principle of the best interests of the child must be decisive in every legal process regarding children. The operative principle is found in both the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the Swedish Parental Code. The principle should serve as a legal guide in all investigations regarding children. Yet there is no universally established definition of the actual meaning of the best in
The principal function of a trademark is to give consumers a guarantee of the identity of a market product, by enabling the consumers to distinguish that product from others of a different provenance. In order to make a product stand out in the market place, the industry constantly seeks to invent and use new ways to appeal to customers. Lately, unconventional sensory marks, such as scents have ma
Automatiska förlängningar av avtal innebär att en ny bindningstid inträder om konsumenten inte senast vid viss tidpunkt säger upp avtalet. Att konsumentens passivitet är den omständighet som gör att den nya avtalstiden inträder, har bland annat gjort att sådana förlängningar jämförts med negativ avtalsbindning, vilket svensk rättsordning inte accepterar. Situationen är emellertid annorlunda när paAutomatic extension of contracts means that time-limited contracts are automatically extended unless the consumer terminates the contract a certain amount of time before it is to expire. The fact that the consumer’s inactivity is the reason why the contract is being extended has even led to a comparison between such automatic extensions and an illegal form of contracting called negative contract b
Purpose: To meet the rising global needs, the humanitarian community has signed off on making a strategic change toward more localisation, which commonly refers to the empowerment of national and local actors in humanitarian assistance. However, to this date, actual initiatives for localisation are rare. To enhance understanding of the phenomenon, the authors explore localisation of logistics prep
Food is one of the most traded goods, and the conflict in Ukraine, one of the European breadbaskets, has triggered a significant additional disruption in the global food supply chains after the COVID-19 impact. The disruption to food output, supply chains, availability, and affordability could have a long-standing impact. As a result, the availability and supply of a wide range of food raw materia
