Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is a way of constructing roads with less climate impact. However, the RAP often contain moisture which is known to be disadvantageous for the final product and will at the same time increase the production cost. A manufacturing method that also aims have less impact on the environment is NCC Green Asphalt. The method allows a lower manufacturing temperature than a c

Den tekniska utvecklingen innebär att det finns nya sätt att kränka en annan person som inte överensstämmer med de tillvägagångssätt som tidigare avsetts i svensk straffrätt. Förevarande uppsats är en undersökning av straffbara ofredanden på sociala medier. Utredningen görs med utgångspunkt i den kritik som riktats mot svensk lagstiftning. Två bestämmelser som kan aktualiseras när brott begås via Due to the technical development, new ways of violating another person has been created. These ways do not comply with the procedures previously set out in Swedish penal law. This essay is an investigation of criminal offenses carried out on social media. The research is based on the criticism raised towards Swedish legislation. Focus lies on two provisions, molestation and sexual molestation acco

To be able to cover future needs, in regards to urbanization and an increasing population, the construction industry must to a greater extent meet demands. One way to increase the production rate is by increasing the level of prefabrication and industrial building. If the industry had become better at learning from past mistakes, it would have given a greater opportunity to streamline processes, m

Den matematiska teorin för populationsgenetik utvecklades av Sewell Wright och Ronald Fisher under 1920-30 talet. Wright-Fishers modell för evolution beskriver hur frekvenser av gener i en generation kan beräknas från frekvenserna i den föregående generationen. Förändringar i frekvenserna, evolution, uppkommer på grund av mutationer och selektion, men även på grund av slumpen, så kallad drift. Så Finding the expected number of generations it takes before every individual in a population (of constant size) only has one type of gene at a particular locus of a chromosome, can be formulated as computing the mean absorption time in a Markov chain. However, the Markov chain approach is inappropriate when the population is large. This is commonly solved by approximating the Markov chain with a di

Denna uppsats behandlar problematiken rörande surrogat av blandad karaktär, det vill säga sådan ersättningsegendom som finansieras delvis genom makes giftorättsgods, delvis genom dennes enskilda egendom. Syftet är att utreda huruvida delningsprincipen, där surrogategendomen delas upp proportionellt i de två egendomsslagen, eller huvudsaklighetsprincipen, vilken innebär att hela surrogatet klassifiThis thesis explores the challenge concerning mixed substitute property, meaning property acquired partly through the marital property of a spouse, partly through their separate property. The purpose is to investigate whether such property should be classified as both separate and marital, split proportionally, or as either separate or marital in entirety when division of property between spouses

Sammanfattning Den kanske största miljöpolitiska utmaningen inom Europa är för närvarande frågan om hur det är möjligt att på ett effektivt och ändamålsenligt sätt uppnå miljömålen i syfte att skapa en hållbar utveckling i samhället. Trenden har gått från att tillgripa lagstiftningsåtgärder till att via marknadsbaserade styrmedel försöka involvera olika marknadsaktörer att på egen hand bli delaktSummary Potentially one of the greatest environmental policy challenges in the European Union is the question of how to efficiently and effectively achieve environmental goals through which society can correct for and obtain a level of sustainable development. The trend has gone from one of command and control legislation towards using more market-based instruments that seek to involve the differ

Bakgrund: I dagens föränderliga samhälle stannar inte individer inom samma organi- sation arbetslivet ut, utan det blir allt vanligare att folk utbildar sig och ändrar karriärer. En äldre generation är på väg att bli utbyt av en yngre och många gamla erfarna med mycket kunskap kommer lämna sina arbeten. På grund av detta ställs nya krav på orga- nisationer, där kunskapen som finns måste tas tillva

This thesis explores the possibility of using IBMs cloud based software Watson for extracting complaints from social media. This is done with two different methods, both based on Watson's text parsing functionality. Different words or parts of sentences is then extracted and compared to other sources in order to determine if it can be considered a complaint, and if so, how common it is. A smal

Produktion av en nanotrådssolcell För att ta itu med miljöpåverkan från växthusgaser krävs en övergång till förnyelsebara energikällor. Ett exempel på en sådan källa är nanotrådssolceller. I mitt examensarbete har jag undersökt hur nanotrådar kan arrangeras på sådant sätt som krävs för att kunna omvandla solljuset till elektricitet. Global uppvärmning är ett hot som till stor del orsakas av utslThe demand for cheaper and more efficient solar cells is high. One way to decrease cost of material, while maintaining a high degree of efficiency, is to take advantage of nanomaterials. A thin film containing pn-junction nanowires can convert light with an efficiency comparable to traditional planar cells, while using a fraction of the material, and thus reduce costs.

In today's society increasingly complex structures are designed whilst at the same time the design of a single structure ought to occur in a shorter period of time. This fact has undoubtedly contributed to that computational strength calculation that often is based on the nite element method instead of the classical hand calculation methods, is applied more frequently. Therefore an important a

The first aim of this study is to investigate what it takes for a nonprofit association (NPA) to become a legal entity, specifically regarding requirements addressing decision-making organs within the NPA’s organization. Secondly, since within the legal framework of associations there exist general principles of law, this study also explores which general principles of law are applicable to a gene

Dynamics such as history, innovation, clusters, and institutions are visited through a multidisciplinary approach in order to provide a complete picture of Norway’s maritime industry. Furthermore, the Norwegian maritime industry has one world’s highest cost of labo

Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) can be defined as strategic processes encouraging entrepreneurial actions to support businesses in recognizing and exploiting new opportunities. Previous studies have shown that businesses with higher levels of EO, characterized through actions that are innovative, proactive and risk-affine, perform better than the ones that lack such orientation. Therefore, EO is

Den ökade globaliseringen har bidragit till att alltmer gränsöverskridande verksamhet utövas av internationella koncerner. Förekomsten av skatteplanering för att undgå en hög skattesats har således ökat, vilket även orsakat att staternas skattebaser rubbats. Som en reaktion på de ökade gränsöverskridande aktiviteterna har internationella samarbeten etablerats i syfte att minska missbruk av de natiThe increasing globalization has contributed to more cross-border transactions exercised by multinational enterprises. To avoid high tax rates the number of tax planning activities has grown, which has caused base erosion and profit shifting for many states. In response, international collaborations have been established with the purpose to reduce tax evasion and utilization of national legislatio

Leukemia involves uncontrolled proliferation of different types of blood cells. Accordingly, it is classified as Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL; which includes B cell and T cell – ALL), Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Chronic lymphoblastic leukemia (CLL). Children are more prone to ALL while the other three forms of leukemia are more common in adults. Over the l

This study examined the acculturation strategies of immigrant adolescents in Sweden and their relation to the mental health symptoms. The participants were 101 immigrant adolescents and 52 Swedish adolescents 15 to 19 years old. ‘Immigration paradox’ was examined comparing the mental health of first and second generation of immigrants and the native Swedes. Youth Self Report was used to assess men

Var och en som har blivit anklagad för ett brott åtnjuter en rätt till tystnad och att betraktas som oskyldig genom det straffprocessuella förfarandet fram till en eventuellt fällande dom. Dessa grundläggande rättigheter tillförsäkras den tilltalade genom artikel 6.1 och 6.2 EKMR. Som en följd av dessa rättigheter ligger bevisbördan i brottmål uteslutande på åklagaren, vilket medför en rätt för deEveryone charged with criminal offense has the right to remain silent and to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in criminal proceedings. The accused is assured these fundamental rights according to article 6.1 and 6.2 ECHR. Due to these rights, the burden of proof must lie on the prosecutor, which means that the accused has the right to remain completely passive during criminal proceedings.
