Försörjningssektorn innefattar verksamheter som är verksamma inom områden som el, energi, vatten, posttjänster, viss mineralutvinning etcetera. När dessa verksamheter behöver införskaffa tjänster, varor och byggentreprenader, måste de göra det via ett upphandlingsförfarande, detta förfarande regleras i LUF. Detta gäller privata såväl som offentliga verksamhetsutövare. Syftet med denna uppsats ärEntities operation in sectors related to water, energy, transport and postal services and some forms of natural resource extraction need to go through a procurement-process when they need to procure services, wares, and construction contracts.

A cultural comparison between Czechia and Sweden in perceptions of heteronormativity and queer represent

Den statliga lönegarantin är en skyddslagstiftning som ger arbetstagare rätt till ersättning om arbetsgivaren går i konkurs. I en granskande rapport från Riksrevisionen framkommer det att 6–9 % av utbetalt garantibelopp utgörs av misstänkt missbruk av lönegarantin. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om de föreslagna åtgärderna i Riksrevisionens granskning kan förväntas minska missbruk av lönegarantThe earnings guarantee is a legislation designated to compensate employees for loss of salary if the employer is declared bankrupt. In an audit by the Swedish National Audit Organization (the Swedish NAO), it is estimated that 6–9 % of all earnings guarantee payments consist of misusage.

Genrepedagogikens genomslag i en digitaliserad skola innebär att skrivundervisningens lärresurser i hög grad utgörs av olika typer av modelltexter. Läromedelsutredningen (SOU 2021:70) utförd på uppdrag av regeringen synliggör en spänning mellan den fysiska läroboken och alternativa undervisningsmaterial, men också att forskningen om hur lärresurser används i Sverige är begränsad. Syftet med denna Teaching and Learning Resources in Genre Pedagogy – The Role of Teaching and Learning Materials in the Development of Students’ Non-Fiction Writing Skills The impact of genre pedagogy in a digitalised school means that the resources for teaching writing are largely made up of different types of model texts. Läromedelsutredningen (SOU 2021:70) carried out on behalf of the government highlights a t

I och med införandet av ICD-11, 2018, tillkom diagnosen Komplex PTSD (C- PTSD) i den internationella klassifikationen av sjukdomar och Socialstyrelsen arbetar just nu med den svenska översättningen som förväntas publiceras någon gång under 2025 på WHO:s plattform. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur kunskapsläget bland behandlare med lägst steg 1-kompetens såg ut inom vuxenpsykiatrin. DeSince the introduction of ICD-11 in 2018, C-PTSD has been a diagnosis in the international classification of diseases.

Theoretical perspective: The study develops a conceptual framework to explain the success of cycling promotion bas

Multilaminering av akustikplattor-låter det bra? Introduktion av nya tillverkningstekniker öppnar upp nya möjligheter för etablerade produkter. Denna pånyttfödelse kan mycket väl resultera i en användning av en större andel återvunnet material, mindre materialåtgång eller nya egenskaper hos produkterna. Bullriga miljöer, låga ljudfrekvenser och intensiva ljud påverkar människor negativt. I naturenSaint-Gobain Ecophon manufactures acoustic ceiling tiles made primarily of glass wool and are interested in exploring the idea of a new manufacturing technique – using thinner layers of material and laminating these together. The possible benefits are, amongst others, the ability to use different kinds of material where they are the most useful, reduced costs, larger amounts of recycled material,

Källsortering i historiska byggnader - är det möjligt? God avfallshantering och ökad materialåtervinning är viktiga pusselbitar i mänsklighetens strävan efter en hållbar utveckling. Att införa källsorteringssystem i vissa byggnader är dock lättare sagt än gjort. AF-borgen i Lund, Akademiska föreningens hus, är ett exempel på en byggnad där det uppkommer betydande mängder avfall, men där möjlighGood waste management is essential to reach a sustainable development, although it is not always easy to achieve. Historical buildings have several requirements concerning fire security, working environment and aesthetics which can make it hard for them to introduce sorting systems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the obstacles historical buildings can encounter concerning indoor waste

In order to understand and categorise subcomponents, or strategies, of these two styles of decision-making think-aloud protocols were used. By exploring and comparing behaviour within various entrepreneurial scenarios, and segmenting it using precise catego

This case study explores how members of a large complex organization make sense of its efforts to be more adaptable. Using ideas from institutional theory, we problematize efforts toward adaptability and identify adaptability as an area where organizations engage in some degree of hypocrisy, meaning that they talk about being flexible to stay competitive in a fast-paced environment, but often act

Kaffeodlaren står inför att hantera den förödande svampsjukdomen ”Kaffebladrost” som förhindrar bladens förmåga att ta upp solljus och kan innebära att upp till 50 % av skörden förloras. Speciellt i tider där kaffepriset sjunker har lett till en sämre hantering av odlingarna vilket främjat spridningen av sjukdomen. Den lägre prissättningen har även lätt till att odlare inte är lika motiverade att Coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix) is a patogen currently threatening sustainable coffee production all across the world where coffee is grown. Yield losses can reach up to 50 % of the production in Brazil and primarily affect regions at low altitude. Costs associated with the rust has been estimated to 616 million USD from 2012-2014 in Central America. Thus, the purpose of this study was to ev

In the current study, the aim was to investigate whether attentional bias—an automatic and nonconscious pre-attentive process of filtering sensory information for emotional relevance—could be induced in normal students, by manipulating levels of stress. In a within-subject experimental design where each participant completed 3 word search puzzles, it was predicted that the ratio at which participa

I den moderna staden suddas gränsen mellan byggnad och gata ut. De samtida shoppingpalatsen, köpcentrumet, är en byggnadstyp som mer än andra löser upp denna gräns när de skapar sina egna gatumiljöer. Vad är dessa nya gator för något? Hur skiljer de sig från andra gator i staden? När gatan fortsätter in i byggnaden, följer rätten till staden med? Det här projektet undersöker köpcentrumet som en In the modern city the border between building and street is increasingly blurred. The urban shopping mall is a building typology that like few other dissolves this border by creating their own interior streetscapes. But what are these streets, what define them and how do they differ from other parts of the urban environment? When the city continues into the building, does the right to the city fo
