Drastic emission-reductions are needed to avoid the disastrous consequences of climate change. Flying is one of the highest individual carbon-impact actions. By 2050, the aviation industry’s share on global greenhouse gas emissions is expected to rise by 300 to 700%. An intervention to counteract this development is to reduce flying at universities as they have a critical role in leading sustainab
When a ground surface is subjected to a load an increased level of stress will occur in the soil underneath. As soil material has a limited permeability, an increased stress will initially result in an excess pore water pressure. However, as time passes the water will flow and the pore water pressure will even out. The relation between the total stress, the excess pore water pressure and the effec
The aviation industry is perceived as being unsustainable in the long term due to foreseen continuous growth and the use of finite natural resources. To become more sustainable airlines need to address sustainability in their business model and business strategies. This research explores how the two airline carrier types, Ryanair, an LCC, and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), an FSC, have addressed sus
I Sverige är det kommuner som har ett yttersta ansvar för att den enskilde får det socialrättsligt stöd hen behöver. Kommunala myndigheter är därför enligt lag skyldiga att tillhandahålla en rad olika typer av offentlig service. Till följd av senaste decenniers politiska reformer har välfärdspolitiken i hög grad påverkats av marknadspolitiska modeller och privata lösningar. Kommunerna anlitar alltIn Sweden, municipalities have ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the individual receives the social support they need. Municipal authorities are therefore obliged by law to provide a range of different types of public ser-vice. As a result of last decades political reforms, welfare politics has been largely influenced by market policy models and private solutions. Munici-palities within th
Entreprenadavtal avser i allmänhet omfattande och långvariga arbeten som inbegriper flera olika parter. Det är relativt vanligt förekommande att parterna har olika åsikt gällande hur ett specifikt avtalsvillkor ska tolkas. Det finns ingen entreprenadrättslig lagstiftning. Företrädare för BKK, Byggandets Kontraktskommitté, har framförhandlat standardkontrakt. Standardkontrakten har en stark ställniConstruction contracts generally refer to extensive and long-term projects involving several different parties. It is relatively common for the parties to have different opinions regarding how a specific contractual term should be interpreted. There is no construction contract law in the area. Hereby representatives of the BKK, the Construction Contracts Committee, have negotiated standard contrac
Grey cast iron is one of the most used materials in the automotive industry. The material has a range of properties that makes it suitable for machining applications, but manufacturers still experience machinability problems. Automotive Components Floby (ACF), who currently experience machinability issues with brake discs, initiated this study to gain further understanding of tool deterioration in
Over recent decades, use of insecticides to protect plants from pests and harmful insects have increased manyfold. Neonicotinoid insecticides, such as Imidacloprid (IMI) acts as partial agonists on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors which are widely present in both the central and peripheral nervous system of insects. Pollinators like Eristalis tenax are frequently exposed to these pesticides but h
Pactum turpe är principen om avtal i strid med lag och goda seder. Principen har sina rötter i antika Rom och har i dag motsvarigheter i flera europeiska rättsordningar. Trots principens ålder finns det flera frågor kring pactum turpe. Avtalsfrihet är utgångspunkten i svensk avtalsrätt. Det finns dock flertalet undantag till avtalsfriheten. Det finns bland annat flera regler som stadgar att vissPactum turpe is the principle of agreements in violation of law or good customs. The principle has its roots in ancient Rome and today has counterparts in several European legal orders. Despite the age of the principle, there are several questions surrounding pactum turpe. Freedom of contract is the main rule in Swedish contract law. However, there are several exceptions to freedom of contract.
Denna uppsats utreder regleringen kring företagsöverlåtelser i säkerhetsskyddslagen och förslaget till lag om anmälan och granskning av utländska direktinvesteringar (direktinvesteringslagen). Syftet är att diskutera regleringarnas påverkan både separat och gemensamt på företagsöverlåtelsens aktörer, säljare, köpare och målbolag. Detta görs utifrån en rättsdogmatisk metod som framför allt baseras
Principen att förorenaren betalar är en central miljörättslig princip som innebär att den som orsakat en förorening eller miljöskada ska vara ekonomiskt ansvarig för att denna återställs eller saneras. Principen är emellertid svår att tillämpa i praktiken. Den största svårigheten vid tillämpningen har varit hur ”förorenaren” och ” förorening” ska identifieras och definieras eftersom gemenskapslagsThe polluter-pays principle is an environmental legal principle of utmost importance. It means that the person responsible for environmental damage or pollution should be the one financially responsible for restoring it. The principle is however, difficult to carry out in practice. The biggest difficulty has been to identify and define the “polluter” and the “pollution”. One of the reasons for thi
Sverige och omvärlden står inför en framtid med en åldrande befolkning. Med åldern ökar risken för att drabbas av demenssjukdom. I kombination gör dessa faktorer att antalet personer med demenssjukdomar ökar. Det ställs allt större krav på hälso- och sjukvård och socialtjänst på att de ska möta de utmaningar som denna patientgrupp ställer upp. Vård ska som huvudregel i så väl Sverige som Norge gSweden has an ageing population. A problem which it shares with most other developed countries. As a person age, the risk of developing dementia increase. The ageing population constitutes a major challenge for the health care and social welfare systems. Health care in Sweden and Norway can, generally, only be provided on voluntary basis. The Instrument of Government in Sweden explicitly prohibi
Amelogenin, a critical protein in enamel formation, self-assembles into supramolecular structure that guide hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystal growth that is essential for the development of strong and healthy enamel. Phosphorylation of amelogenin at Ser-16 plays a pivotal role in modulating its self-assembly and functional properties, impacting the overall enamel biomineralization process. This post-tr
Sedan införandet av det kommunala planmonopolet 1947 till följd av den bostadssociala utredningen har planlagstiftningen reformerats flertalet gånger. I förevarande examensarbete studeras den historiska utvecklingen av både det kommunala planmonopolet och dess tillhörande planlagstiftning. Examensarbetet syftar till att studera hur det kommunala planmonopolet kommit att utvecklas och om reformerSince the introduction of the municipal planning monopoly in 1947 following the Housing Social Investigation, the planning legislation has been reformed several times. In this thesis, the historical development of both the municipal planning monopoly and its associated planning legislation is studied. The aim of the thesis is to examine how the municipal planning monopoly has evolved and whether
The details of galaxy formation are still an unsolved problem in astrophysics. Even though significant progress has been made in simulations and observations, it remains an unsolved issue to describe the complexity it yields. One of the reasons for this is the vast dynamical range in space and time. The smallest scales, where star formation occurs, are connected to the larger scale structure of th
Efter att den svenska riksdagen beslutade att återuppta totalförsvarsplaneringen år 2015 har vi erfarit en världsomspännande pandemi, krig i Sveriges närområde samtidigt som en stundande klimatkris blir alltmer akut. Dessa faktorer har gjort civilförsvarsförmågan och den svenska befolkningens hemberedskap till en aktuell fråga. Hur väl förberedda är vi egentligen ifall samhällets service slutaSince the Swedish parliament decided to resume the total defense planning in 2015, we have experienced a worldwide pandemic, war in the vicinity of Sweden, and an impending climate crisis becoming increasingly urgent. These factors have put civil defense capabilities and the Swedish population´s home preparedness high on the political agenda. How well-prepared are we really if societal service

The Milky Way harbors a supermassive black hole (SMBH) at its dynamical center. Surrounding the SMBH is a dense nuclear star cluster (NSC) which is believed to include a binary population. Beyond $0.1\mathrm{pc}$ from the SMBH, Eccentric-Kozoai Lidov oscillations are suppressed by general relativity precession, and the dynamical evolution of binaries are completely dominated by encounters with oth
