The aircraft of today use electrical fly-by-wire systems for manoeuvring. These safety-critical distributed systems are called flight control systems and put high requirements on the communication networks that interconnect the parts of the systems. Reliability, predictability, flexibility, low weight and cost are important factors that all need to be taken in to consideration when designing a saf

The purpose of this paper is to measure living standards for the population of Chocó, Colombia, using four waves of the DHSurveys between 1990 and 2005. Recent maternal history allowed the construction of a pooled dataset of 3.055 children and 779 mothers. The concept of living standards is measured as the ability to ensure child and marriage survival subject to short term economic stress, which i

Tetra Pak is developing a new flexible packaging machine called Tetra Pak C3/FLEX. With this machine it will be possible to manufacture packages of different volumes with the same cross sections. A volume change denotes that the repeating length of the packages changes. This results in a variation of the web velocity through the machine. When the web velocity changes, the emitted amount of heat to

In recent years, microfinance has evolved as an alternative method of providing credit to poor borrowers in developing countries. Despite high expectations and appraisals, the performance of microfinance institutions has been found to differ significantly between different countries. Previous research has focused mainly on formal institutions and macroeconomic conditions as potential explanations

There are high hopes in Greenland that the country will go from being a nation of fishermen to a nation of oil producers. But what do we really know about the prospects? Our thesis investigates how favourable the geological, economic and institutional conditions are for building a self-­sustaining economy in Greenland based on its hydrocarbon resources. The geological conclusions are encouraging.

Förevarande text handlar om skillnaderna mellan äktenskapsförord och förmögenhetsrättsliga avtal. Ett äktenskapsförord är ett familjerättsligt avtal med stark förmögenhetsrättslig prägel. Detta till trots gör sig dock en del typiska familjerättsliga särdrag gällande. Sådana särdrag är exempelvis de olika formkrav som gör sig gällande ifråga om äktenskapsförord. Äktenskapsförord skall upptecknas i This text is about the various differences between prenuptial agreements and contracts dealing with property law. A prenuptial agreement is a contract between partners, with strong economical characteristics. In spite of these characteristics there are some essential differences between the two types of contracts. There are, for instance, more formal requirements to take into consideration concern

This master’s thesis explores the self-presentation of the Swedish national archives as well as the regional state archives of Härnösand, Vadstena, and Visby on Facebook during 2014. The thesis applies Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective, augmented by Meyrowitz’ ideas about the “middle region” as well as marketing theory as formulater by Kotler and Keller, to understand the different aspects of th

Svensk rätt innehåller ingen lagstadgad rätt till abandonering, en rättsfigur som innebär att konkursboet avstår från viss egendom och därmed även undgår de rättsliga förpliktelser kopplade till den egendomen. HD har dock genom rättsfallet NJA 2004 s. 777 slagit fast att abandonering kan utgöra en försvarlig förvaltningsåtgärd från konkursförvaltarens sida och därmed vara godtagbart. Detta prejudiSwedish law does not have a statutory provision regarding abandonment (UK: disclaimer of onerous property), the right for a bankruptcy estate to disown property with a legally binding effect, meaning that the estate does not answer to any obligations connected to the disowned property. However, The Swedish Supreme Court has in its ruling NJA 2004 s. 777 established that a trustee’s decision to aba

When designing steel frames used in large hall buildings it is favourable to use a design tool set up with a programming language that can consider many different load cases and load combinations. These design tools can use the finite element method in order to perform the calculations needed to design the frames. Due to the extent of these design tools, the amount of elements used are restricted

The large number of women, many of whom are mothers, migrating for work across the globe have caused disruptions in the so-called “global care chains”, as coined by Hochschild (2000). These disruptions are referred to as “care drain”, “care deficits” or “care gaps” (Dumitru, 2014). In response to these care gaps, families across the world have had to reconfigure care arrangements. The implications

The partnership and development cooperation between the European Union (EU) and Africa is described as a key priority for the European Commission and their aim is to further strengthen the partnership (European Commission 2020). However, the relationship between the European Union and the African continent has a deep and complex history that has been characterized by colonial ties and unequal powe

Under våren 2022 genomförde anställningsskyddslagen en förändring och den svenska arbetsrätten anses vara reformerad. En förändring av den svenska arbetsrätten har inte varit så omfattande sedan anställningsskyddslagen infördes 1973. Arbetsmarknaden präglas av kraven på flexibilitet och rörlighet samtidigt som anställningsskyddet behöver vara en trygghet för arbetstagare. Den svenska arbetsmarknadIn the spring of 2022, the Employment Protection Act implements a change and Swedish labor law is considered reformed. The transformation of Swedish labor law has not been as extensive since the introduction of the Employment Protection Act in 1973. The labor market is characterized by demands for flexibility and mobility, while employment protection needs to provide security for employees. The Sw

Fed aquaculture is a necessary practice to meet the seafood requirements of a growing population in a sustainable manner. There is a high demand for fish feed to meet the rising protein requirements of the industry. Currently, fish feeds are either unsustainable, affected by seasonal variations, lack a complete amino acid profile, lack scalability, or are too expensive. Single Cell Protein (SCP) i

The aggregation of amyloid β in the brain is considered to be the main cause of the currently incurable Alzheimer’s disease. Research investigating fibrils is being conducted continuously. Despite this, there is an incredibly large knowledge gap in what we know about the aggregation process. This study aims to investigate the temperature influence on the Aβ40 aggregation process using differential

During the last decades there has been an increase of the housing segregation in Sweden. According to research this is mainly due to greater economic inequality and increased immigration. In Sweden there are a number of neighbourhoods with low socioeconomic standards that are mostly inhabited by immigrants, in these areas women are a particularly vulnerable group. Research states that learning the

Antagandet om att personer med ätstörningar är smala är fortfarande utbrett, trots att det finns ett signifikant samband mellan ätstörningar och obesitas. I linje med detta finns en kunskapslucka avseende skattningsformulär riktade mot att fånga ätstörningar och subkliniska besvär hos personer med obesitas. En systematisk litteraturöversikt genomfördes med syftet att hitta tillgängliga formulär, mThe assumption that people with eating disorders are skinny is still widespread, even though there is a co-occurrence between eating disorders and obesity. Despite this co-occurrence, there is a gap in the knowledge regarding questionnaires aimed at assessing eating disorders and subclinical symptoms for people with obesity. Therefore, a systematic review was conducted with the purpose of finding

Galaxies contain a wide variety of star clusters with different properties. Each cluster is a possible source of runaway stars, which can be progenitors of supernovae in other parts of the galaxy than their home cluster. Considering runaway stars in galaxy simulations has shown to increase the galactic feedback. This project investigates how the initial condition of a star cluster affects the velo
