Jämkning av avtal vid förändrade förhållanden

Dagligen ingås det mängder av avtal näringsidkare emellan. Grundprincipen är att det råder avtalsfrihet och att varje part får stå för sina egna risker. Efter införandet av 36 § avtalslagen år 1976, öppnades dock en möjlighet för avtalsparter att få ett avtal jämkat eller ogiltigförklarat i domstol med hjälp av denna generalklausul. 36 § är en mycket omfattande paragraf och innefattar många tänkbaEvery day there are a lot of agreements between traders. The basic principle is that there is freedom of contract and that each party must bear its own risks. After the introduction of Article 36 of the Contracts Act in 1976, an opportunity was opened for contractors to get an agreement adjusted or void in court, with the help of this general clause. The paragraph is very immersive and involves lo

The Sleeping Witness – Sleep’s Effect on Memory in a Witness Situation

Tidigare forskning har visat på att sömn stärker minnen. Denna studie ämnade att utforska detta i en verklig situation genom att studera sömns effekt på vittnesmål. De 18 deltagarna fick se en video av en fiktiv misshandel och efter 12 timmar, där hälften av deltagarna var vakna under dagen och andra hälften av deltagarna sov under natten. De fick svara på ett minnestest om videon. Frågorna var inPrevious studies have shown that sleep strengthens memory. The current study has put this into a real-life context and study sleep’s effect on witness testimony. The 18 participants watched a video of a fictitious assault, and after a 12-hour delay, where half stayed awake during the day, and half slept during the night. They answered a questionnaire about the video, as a memory test. The question

Improving heterogenous team collaboration in disaster risk management: lessons from innovation

Heterogeneous team collaboration is a fundamental component of Disaster Risk Management (DRM). However, DRM teams face complex-dynamic situations characterised by high disruptions, distributed locations and other factors, which create persistent problems for team collaboration. In these contexts, even the smallest improvement to our understanding has the potential to yield enormous benefits to DRM

Från teoretisk reflektion till reflekterande praktik - En modalitetsanalys av lärarstudenters förhållningssätt till begreppet och ämnet bedömning

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om lärarstudenterna har förändrat sitt förhållningssätt till begreppet och ämnet bedömning, och hur detta i så fall tar sig uttryck och avspeglas i deras språk. Tre forskningsfrågor formulerades utifrån detta syfte som hur studenterna talar om bedömning, vilka modalitetsuttryck de använder i förhållande till begreppet och ämnet bedömning och om där finns en föränd

Bygglov och markrättigheter

Om någon vill ändra användningen av en byggnad, bygga till eller bygga nytt krävs oftast bygglov. Beslut om bygglov fattas av byggnadsnämnden. Om den sökta åtgärden vidtas utanför detaljplan skall alltid sakägare höras och ges tillfälle att yttra sig. Om den sökta åtgärden verkställs inom detaljplanerat område behöver detta endast ske om åtgärden innebär en avvikelse från detaljplanen. ExamensarbTo change the features of a existing building or to build a new building a building permit is needed. The building department at the municipality decides about building permits. The building departments inspection of the applied building permit are a public law inspection and are limited by the Planning and Building Act. Civil rights as ownership and easements are not to be included in the buildin

SpectraCure AB is a start-up company aiming at treating internal solid tumours such as prostate tumours with an innovative technology called ‘Interstitial Photodynamic Therapy’. This treatment requires the use of fibres to deliver the amount of light required to activate a drug injected to the patient which leads to the destruction of the tumours. This treatment is patient-based which means that t

The Past, Present and Future of Collective-Action to Address Water Related Issues in the Fraser Basin

The enactment of the Water Sustainability Act by the province of British Columbia, Canada, in 2016 signals a shift towards a more decentralized and localized approach to water governance in the province. In this context, this thesis explores the history of development in the socio- ecologically significant Fraser Basin and identifies that a unique and successful form of collective- action to addre

Investigating the triolein/aqueous interface and Thermomyces lanuginosa lipase activity

Den gåtfulla gränsytan mellan lipid och vatten Lipider är amfifila, vilket betyder att de består av en hydrofil och en hydrofob del. Vid kontakt med vatten arrangerar de sig i strukturer för att undvika oönskad interaktion. Den gränsyta som uppstår mellan vatten och lipider är intressant, eftersom den spelar en viktig roll i många processer, såsom nedbrytning av lipider med så kallade lipaser. TrThe triglyceride/ aqueous interface has an important role in many processes, e.g. lipase activity. Lipase is responsible for the degradation of triglycerides to smaller components, such as fatty acids. The enzyme attracts interest in industrial applications of the catalytic behavior it possesses, such as in food and pharmaceutical industries. Thus, understanding the interface which is controlling

Climate Change Risk Perception and Pro-Environmental Behavior - Toward a Comprehensive Model

Climate change has become one of the greatest concerns of the 21st century as its ramifications pose a major risk to all life on earth. However, not all individuals are aware of this risk and behavioral engagement to counteract the issue is often still lacking. This research examined the relationship between climate change risk perception and pro-environmental behavior. The aim of this cross-secti

Saving the Environment by Being “Green” with Fintech: The contradictions between environmentalism and reality in the case of Ant Forest

The conflict between climate and economic development is one of the most significant dilemmas of this era. Under the prevalent discourse of sustainable development and green economy, many believe that environmental problems can be addressed through market-based approaches under the current capitalist economic regime (Waters, 2008). The purpose of this thesis was to analyze the case of Ant Forest,

Optimizing the functionalities of a code for real time dynamics of finite systems

The many-body problem in quantum mechanics always presents new challenges and ways to discover new properties of existing materials. The difficulty (if not the impossibility) to solve the many-body problem analytically makes the numerical methods an appealing approach. Here we consider a Python code, which is under development to become an open-source tool to perform studies of finite lattice syst

Why hit the target? - Does the use of inflation targeting help stabilize inflation and increase GDP?

This paper studies the effects of inflation targeting on inflation, inflation expectations, and GDP growth in developed countries, where such a regime has been implemented. The results are compared to those of the control group of developed countries, that have not introduced an inflation-targeting regime. The data is from the period 1980-2017 and is sourced from the International Monetary Fund an

ADAPTING TRADITIONAL STAGEGATE PRACTICES TO ITERATIVE EXPERIMENTATION

Many companies have traditionally focused on linear product development processes centred on analysis e.g. waterfall or stage-gate processes. Some companies have begun to complement these with iterative product development processes centred on experimentation such as the Lean Start-up Methodology. The knowledge and theory on how iterative processes of product development are best managed is limite

Macroeconomic conditions, mental ill health and substance abuse among young adults in Sweden

In this paper, I seek to investigate the effect of economic conditions on mental ill health and substance abuse among young adults in Sweden. I investigate whether this effect differs across population subgroups, defined by age, sex, foreign background and educational attainment. In robustness analyses, I also investigate asymmetry in the effect of macroeconomic conditions on mental health and sub
