In Zambia, the privatisation of state owned companies is challenging job security, working conditions and workers’ rights. It has also weakened the role of government as a regulator of labour legislation, which in Zambia is quite progressive, compared to other countries in the region. Workers struggle to survive and therefore turn to trade unions in order to change their situation. This study exam

Sedan januari 2017 bedriver Riksbanken ett projekt vars syfte är att utreda huruvida digitala kontanter vore ett lämpligt komplement på den svenska betalningsmarknaden. Inom ramen för Riksbankens projekt kallas dessa digitala kontanter för e-kronor. Eftersom en övervägande andel av svenska betalningar redan idag görs elektroniskt kan det framstå som obegripligt varför Sverige alls skulle vara i bThe Swedish central bank started a project in January 2017 with the objective to explore whether digital cash would be relevant to the Swedish payment infrastructure. The central bank digital cash is referred to as ”e-kronor”. It may seem peculiar why Sweden would be in a need for digital cash since the current adoption of electronic payment is very high. A simplified explanation of the reason f

Many important scientific phenomena require ultra-fast imaging to understand and investigate the characteristics of the event. Current methods of ultra-fast imaging that can obtain femtosecond time resolution rely on repeatable events or limiting the techniques versatility by completely remove the use of a dimension e.g. colour. FRAME is a novel technique which allows for ultra-fast imaging in the

Overheating in buildings is a growing public health hazard becoming more prevalent with climate change. The research aimed to analyse how interactions between jurisdictional scales, urban stakeholders and policies promoting synergies affect adaptation processes in cities using overheating policies in London as an example. Understanding how these interactions affect policy implementation can ensure

Väg 111 är en viktig sammanknytande väg till ett större vägnät för de orter och områden som vägen slingrar sig mellan utanför Helsingborg. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka om det behövs en åtgärd ur ett framkomlighetsperspektiv och ge ett förslag på lämplig åtgärd. Arbetet begränsar sig till sträckan mellan trafikplats Brohult och avfarten till Mariastaden som ligger norr om trafikplatsen. FöThe road 111 that runs past Helsingborg is an important connecting road to a larger road network for the towns and areas outside of Helsingborg. The purpose of this essay is to do a research to see whether a measure is needed from an accessibility perspective and to give a proposal for an appropriated measure. The analysis is limited to the distance between the traffic point Brohult and the exit p

The project sets in Prishtina, Kosovo, and explores the oasis of a park in the middle of the intense city.

We used a qualitative method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using an interview guide. We interviewed nine professional social workers who works in three different field - probation, hospital and school. Profe

For most companies, especially the ones handling large flows of material there are buffers in different stages of the value chain, also referred to as inventory. By effectively managing inventories, businesses can see bottom line impact on financial performance factors such as revenue streams, costs and capital efficiency. The authors built a relevant frame of references based upon theories within

Stödkonstruktioner används när schakter blir för djupa för att vara självbärande eller när slänter inte kan användas av utrymmesskäl. Det finns flera olika lösningar för stödkonstruktioner och en av de vanligast förekommande är stålspont. Merparten av all stålspont i Sverige installeras med hjälp av vibratorer, huvudsakligen på grund av dess kostnadseffektivitet, höga neddrivningshastighet och lågRetaining structures are used when excavations are too deep to be self-supporting or when slopes cannot be used because of spatial constraints. There are a multitude of different types of retaining structures and one very common type is sheet piling. Most sheet pile walls in Sweden are installed by means of vibratory driving, mainly due to its cost-effectiveness, speed and low levels of disturbanc

Studien syftar till att öka kunskapen om riskerna som kan påverka tidsåtgången för underhållsarbete inom järnvägen, särskilt vid byte av fast korsningsparti i spårväxlar. Den tid som vanligtvis tillges vid underhåll ger inget utrymme för att oväntade händelser uppstår, därför är det av stor vikt att underhållet utförs effektivt för att slutföras inom tidsramen. Riskhanteringar utgörs av följande mThe study aims to increase knowledge about the risks that can affect the time required for maintenance work on railways, particularly when replacing fixed crossing sections in switches. The time allocated for maintenance usually does not allow for unexpected events, so it is crucial that maintenance is carried out efficiently to be completed within the timeframe. Risk management comprises the foll

Nik-related kinase: A New IL-10 Regulator Our body is constantly exposed to microscopic organisms called microbes. Some of these organisms are harmless while others are able to cause infection and damage. Thus, our body has defense mechanisms that include the immune system. Macrophages are cells that belong to the immune system and have key roles in defense against infection, wound healing, and r

At Alvotech, bioreactors are used for the production of biosimilars. During the production scale-up process, issues can arise at larger scale that are difficult to predict based on physical experiments. Using CFD, two 3D bioreactor models of different scales have been created, namely the 15L HyPerformaTM Glass Bioreactor and 250L HyPerformaTM Single-Use Bioreactor, both manufactured by Thermo FishDuring bioreactor scale-up, unexpected failures become more prevalent due to the increase in volume. A comparison of mixing performance was thus made using computational modeling for two bioreactors at different scales. At the biopharmaceutical company Alvotech, bioreactors are used at different scales for producing biological medicines known as biosimilars. Bioreactors are vessels containing a m
