Pålning är en typ av grundläggning lämplig för att grundlägga broar vid svaga markförhållanden. Att manuellt utforma en pålgrupp är en iterativ, tidskrävande process där snittkrafterna i pålarna måste verifieras för ett stort antal lastfall. Efter installationen kan pålarna dessutom ha nya positioner och kapaciteten måste verifieras igen. I detta projekt utvecklades en mjukvara för att automatiserFor bridges in weak ground conditions, piling is an appropriate type of foundation. To manually arrange the piles in a pile group is an iterative, time consuming process where the section forces in the piles must be verified for a large number of load cases. In addition, after installation, piles may have new positions and the capacity must be re-verified. In this thesis, a software was developed

Abstract The world has seen three industrial revolutions and now it embraces the fourth. The fourth industrial revolution, (globalisation 4.0) or as this study uses industry 4.0, follows onto the third industrial revolution by connecting digital, material and living spheres. The narrative of Africa rising, and the related expansion of mobile phone motivated the thesis interest. As past development

Technological advancements continue to drive changes in our modern society. To keep up with these changes, it is of utter importance to stay competitive, whilst remaining flexible enough to be prepared for future changes.

Payment for water ecosystem services has been gaining attention in Latin America because of the direct response for environmental conservation through economic mechanisms. By connecting nature services with people who benefit from them, it creates a sustainable intervention for the ecosystem’s management while enhancing human well-being according to policy implementers. Nevertheless, these initiat

Moving towards circular economy is considered as a fundamental way to achieve sustainable development, but practices and tools that can support businesses in implementing this concept are still underdeveloped. Moreover, there is uncertainty about the impact that the adoption of circularity has on the current way of working of a company. With the adoption of aspects of action research on a rock and

I betänkandet En stärkt rättsprocess och en ökad lagföring (SOU 2021:35), vilket publicerades den 25 maj 2021, föreslogs att det borde införas en strafflindringsgrund avseende medverkan till utredning av annans brottslighet. Förslaget innebär en avvägning mellan å ena sidan effektiv brottsbekämpning och å andra sidan rättssäkerhet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att, utifrån ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiThe report En stärkt rättsprocess och en ökad lagföring (SOU 2021:35), which was published on 25 May 2021, proposed that an arrangement which provides a possibility for the court, when sentencing, to take into consideration the fact that the accused has assisted in the investigation of serious criminality committed by another person should be introduced.
