Departing from the hypothesis that R&D within ICT plays an essential role in the transformation of the construction sector from a traditional to an industrialised process, a joint Swedish and French project has been carried out (to be completed in April 2007) to assess the short and medium term possibilities to improve efficiency and quality in multi-storey house-building. This paper describes

This paper aspires to indicate how much broadband communication the Swedish copper access network can offer when developed to its full potential. We look at a number of different infrastructure deployment scenarios and calculate the Shannon capacity of the copper loops using different deployment-dependent loop-length distributions with different deployment-dependent and technology-dependent noise

This article is concerned with how we make decisions based on how problems are presented to us and the effect that the framing of the problem might have on our choices. Current philosophical and psychological accounts of the framing effect in experiments such as the Asian Disease Problem (ADP) concern reference points and domains (gains and losses). We question the importance of reference points a

There are few studies on how social workers deal with cases regarding transnational surrogacy. Our study intends to contribute to filling this gap. In Sweden, surrogacy as an assisted reproductive technology method is not permitted. As a result, many prospective parents have turned abroad, mainly to India, for surrogacy. There are no laws regulating surrogacy in Sweden, and difficulties have arise

Background: Inositol trispyrophosphate (ITPP) has been shown to reduce tumour growth in different animal cancer models, as well as of human U87 glioma cells grafted onto chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM). The aim of this study was to establish whether ITPP crosses the blood-brain barrier and whether it halts the growth of RG2 glioblastoma tumour. Materials and Methods: A model comprising of Fis

En person som vill förbättra sin livssituation genom att få en påstådd moralisk rättighet att uppnå status som rätt kan driva frågan till Europadomstolen för de mänskliga rättigheterna. I en sådan situation kan klaganden försöka övertyga Europadomstolen att doktrinen om Europakonvention som ett levande instrument ska motivera en dynamisk tolkning av konventionen så att rättighetsskyddet utsträcks.A person who wants to improve his or her situation by having an alleged right rise to the power of human rights law can bring a state before the European Court of Human Rights. The applicant can in that situation argue that the Court should engage in evolutive interpretation of the ECHR to keep it a living instrument in line with present-day conditions. One argument for evolutive interpretation is

The unbalanced supply and demand will raise the distribution and transportation problems. Lateral transhipment (called stock redistribution) between two Customer Centres (CC) has been implementing to reduce unhealthy inventories. The two significant issues are the inefficient process and unnecessary cost of reactive lateral transhipment. The searching and communication processes can take longer th

The Swedish Navy conducts reconnaissance in an ongoing maritime surveillance operation with ships at sea. This study aims to create a greater understanding of factors for why naval surveillance is not carried out to a greater extent with modern efficient flying reconnaissance sensors to freeing up time for more qualified naval activities. Furthermore, it seeks an increased understanding and whethe

Barnets bästa är den bärande principen i dagens barnrätt och härstammar ur såväl FN:s barnkonvention och föräldrabalken.1 Översiktligt går det att konstatera att de grundläggande tankarna om principen är att stärka respekten för barnets människovärde och integritet, samt som en etisk vägledning för alla enskilda bedömningar i mål som rör barnet. Det innebär att principen inte enbart ska tillämpas It is stated in both the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Children and Parents code, that all actions concerning children shall have the best interests of the child as the primary consideration. According to the 6th chapter 2(a) section in the Children and Parents code, the best interest of the child shall be the primary consideration in all questions concerning the child, both in

Idag finns många företag som använder PLC-styrning för att styra och manövrera olika maskiner och hårdvaror. AB FIA är ett av dessa företag. På deras begäran har en modul framställts med en Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) som styr dess tillkopplade slav-komponenter. Denna rapport beskriver sambandet av hur styrsystem och komponenter interagerar för att göra kemiska reaktioner mer effektiva ochToday there are many companies that use PLC-control to control and maneuver their machines and hardware. AB FIA is one of these companies. At their behalf, a module was produced with a Programmable Logic Controller(PLC) that controls its adjacent slave components. This report describes the relationship how control systems and components interact to make chemical reactions more efficient and precis

Education for sustainability (EfS) has been regarded a promising approach for solving sustainability challenges. Results have been unsatisfying due to a knowledge-dissemination focus in the formal sector. Reasons are economic and political interests shaping formal education. Therefore, hopes are placed in the non-formal sector to close this knowledge-to-action gap. In this case study, I aim to und

Sedan 2015 har Sverige en uttalat feministisk utrikespolitik, med målet att ett genusperspektiv ska genomsyra all politisk verksamhet. Parallellt med denna nya politiska inriktning fortsätter Sverige att exportera krigsmateriel till icke-demokratiska och konfliktdrabbade stater, något som har gett upphov till kritik. Genom att granska den statliga myndighet som ansvarar för beslut om krigsmateriel

Söndagen den 11:e september 2022 var det återigen dags för riksdagsval i Sverige. Valresultatet som presenterades ett par dagar senare avslöjade att den socialdemokratiska regeringen skulle få avgå efter en period om åtta år, och Sverige skulle komma att få en ny regering. Regeringsskiftet skedde den 18:e oktober 2022, och består idag av en trepartiregering: Moderaterna, Kristdemokraterna och LibParliamentary elections were once again held in Sweden on Sunday the 11th of September 2022. The election results were presented a few days later and revealed that the Social Democratic government would have to resign after a period of eight years, meaning that Sweden soon would become to have a new government. The change of government took place on the 18th of October 2022, and consists today of

The presence of fog, or condensation, poses significant challenges in various fields, including surveillance cameras. The main issue is that fog obstructs the camera's view, essentially rendering the camera ineffective for surveillance. Currently, preventative measures such as heating the camera are a remedy at the cost of significantly increased power consumption. This master’s thesis is aime

China's "3060" target for carbon neutrality needs public action. This study explores how this goal influences urban Chinese youth's intention to take climate action. Based on surveys and interviews, this study found a positive link between them. While perceived policy benefits motivate youth to act, barriers include concerns about green product accessibility and lack of infrastru

Den ökade globaliseringen och världshandeln har medfört att skatteavtal blivit viktigare. Då skatteavtalen har fått en mer central roll har även avtalsmissbruk blivit vanligare. Skatteavtal är folkrättsliga avtal som ingås mellan två eller fler stater och syftar till att förena staternas skattesystem, underlätta beskattningen för personer och myndigheter samt undvika internationell dubbelbeskattniThe increase in globalization and world trade has meant that tax treaties have become more important. As tax treaties have taken on a more central role, treaty abuse has also become more common. Tax treaties are agreements under international treaty law concluded between two or more states with the aim of unifying their tax systems, facilitating the taxation of persons and authorities, and avoidin
