Law firms are defined as knowledge-intensive companies. Due to the dependency regarding the resource of knowledge among the firms employees and to the fact that they often are categorised as a type of professional service firm. The purpose of this study is to investigate the different types of profitsharingsystems as a form of reward with focus on the theoretical differences and effects of the Tru
The interest in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has grown tremendously within the last decades. Due to the pressure from different stakeholders, this concept was introduced by multinational corporations (MNC) in China. Since the strong focus on economic growth has been determining the way of doing business, environmental and social concerns were not taken into account appropriately. Since MN
This Master Thesis was executed on behalf of Faiveley Transport AB, Landskrona, Sweden, between February and September 2007. The work was written under the Division of Machine Design at Lund Institute of Technology. The Faiveley Group is one of the world’s leading suppliers of railway systems and services, and the thesis was conducted as a product development project with the objective to design a
Titel: Musikens Budskap - Mytologi och folktro som tema i instrumental konstmusik Författare: Erik Valdemar Sköld Handledare: Francisca Skoogh I denna skriftliga uppsats redogör jag för bakgrunden och arbetsprocessen till tre av mina egna kompositioner vars inspirationskälla och tema är kopplat till naturen och nordisk mytologi. Frågeställningen lyder följande: vilka tillvägagångssätt inom programIn this essay, I describe the background to and work process behind three of my own compositions which are inspired by nature and Nordic mythology. I asked myself: which approaches, from programmatic music throughout history, can I use in my own work as a composer? I go through some historical examples that use references to nature, and summarise literature about program music and affects, in orde
Air pollution is one of the major environmental problems in the industrial and populated cities. Predictive mapping of urban air pollution and sharing the generated maps with the public and city officials have positive impacts on society and environment. This article presents a solution based on distributed processing concepts to generate predictive map of air pollution for the next 24 hours. Apac
The pulp and paper industry is one of the most important industrial sectors worldwide. The focus of current pulp mills is on the production of cellulose pulp fibres and electricity. By converting traditional pulp mills into lignocellulosic biorefineries they can become a keystone in a future bioeconomy. In order to achieve this, pulp mills have to close their loops and focus on the optimal utilisa
1. IntroductionThe end of the 20th century was marked by the start of the third and so far final wave of biotechnology, the so-called white biotechnology, aiming to substitute chemical processes based on C2/C3 chemistry of oil and gas by biotechnological processes. The standard conversion process in biotechnology is fermentation, which is used to produce a wide range of bulk products such as antib
The cosmic origin of fluorine is still not well constrained. Several nucleosynthetic channels at different phases of stellar evolution have been suggested, but these must be constrained by observations. For this, the fluorine abundance trend with metallicity spanning a wide range is required. Our aim is to determine stellar abundances of fluorine for. We determine the abundances from HF lines in i
Technology of 3D printing is opening the possibility for small-scale production in quantities between ten and several hundred pieces. The technology of adding material enables the production of complex and integrated functional concepts in a single-pass process, which consequently potentially reduces the need for assembly operations. Design approaches and manufacturing processing are not mastered
A concept based on photofragmentation laser-induced fluorescence (PFLIF) is for the first time demonstrated for simultaneous detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and water (H2O) vapor in various mixtures containing the two constituents in a bath of argon gas. A photolysis laser pulse at 248 nm dissociates H2O2 into OH fragments, whereupon a probe pulse, delayed 100 ns and tuned to an absorption l
The combustion engine, a well-known source of aerosols, has seen remarkable improvements regarding efficiency and emissions. A drawback of the conventional compression ignition (CI) engine is its requirement for a high cetane number fuel, i.e. diesel which contains long carbon chains forming particulate matter (PM) when combusted in the conventional diesel combustion (CDC) process. A previous stud
Förnybara energikällor och återvunnen energi kan integreras i fjärrvärmenätet genom att ansluta en anläggning ute i nätet för att komplettera den centrala produktionen. Detta har fördelar för det lokala energisystemet som på ett klimatsmart sätt kan säkerställa värmekvalité även långt ut i nätet.The district heating sector is moving into a new era which brings lower temperatures in the heating network which in turn opens up for a more extensive use of low grade heat such as solar heat. This project aims to develop a dynamic simulation model for feeding centrals in order to be able to design and optimize systems for decentralized feeding regardless of heat source. The big challenge lies in
I uppsatsen berörs frågeställningen om hur värdeersättning beräknas när en sakskada har inträffat, när egendom har skadats genom en annan persons handling. Värderingen utgår från den skadeståndsrättsliga bestämmelsen i 5:7 1 p. Skadeståndslagen (SFS 1972:207, nedan benämnd SkL). Uppsatsens kärna består av en presentation och en diskussion om vilken värderingsmetod som är tillämplig vid totalskada This essay deals with the question of how damages on personal property is to be calculated when a damage has occured. It is assumed in this essay that the personal property has been damaged by another person's action. The calculation of the indemnity is based on 5:7 1 p. SkL. The essay presents which method of valuation that is applicable when the damage has taken place, and how the detriment
In pursuit of a sustainable society, the bike possesses a central importance. It is important that the bike lanes meet the needs in terms of accessibility and safety. In the Netherlands, the UK and Denmark already exists so-called super cycle routes, which have proven to be very successful, as they contributed to the increased cycling, and at same time improved accessibility and comfort for the cy
Lag om tillfälliga begränsningar av möjligheten att få uppehållstillstånd i Sverige (benämns fortsättningsvis som den tidsbegränsade lagen) trädde i kraft 20 juli 2016 och innebär att möjligheten för alternativt skyddsbehövande att återförenas med sin familj i Sverige begränsas avsevärt. Familj till alternativt skyddsbehövande har endast rätt till uppehållstillstånd om nekandet av familjeåterförenThe temporary law of limitations regarding the possibility of being granted residence permit in Sweden (latterly known as the temporary law) took effect on July 20, 2016. It severely limits the possibility for persons eligible for subsidiary protection to be reunited with their family in Sweden. Family belonging to persons eligible for subsidiary protection only have the right to obtain a residenc
Tvångsvård av barn är ett mycket allvarligt ingrepp i den personliga integriteten. För att barn ska kunna tillförsäkras god vård – utan samtycke – måste det därför ställas höga krav på rättssäkerhet. Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka huruvida rekvisitet något annat socialt nedbrytande beteende i 3 § lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU) uppfyller kravet på rättssäkerhet.
Går det att stoppa den globala uppvärmningen genom lokala klimatexperiment? För att begränsa den globala uppvärmningen måste industriländerna till 2050 minska utsläppen med 80-95 %. En sådan omställning är en enorm utmaning, men forskning visar att den är möjlig att genomföra genom nytänkande samhällsstyrning som involverar samhällets samtliga aktörer. Ett nytt spännande sätt att tackla det globaThe response to climate change in cities has proliferated over the last few decades, and progressive climate action at the local level is now ubiquitous. More specifically, local climate action often comes in the shape of ‘climate change experiments’, radical innovations at the local level designed to respond to the imperatives of mitigating and adapting to climate change in the city.
