In the construction business machine control has been revolutionary for the production phase and it´s currently used exclusively in major construction projects. Vital for machine control is that the machine control models are accurate. Currently that responsibility usually lies with the contractors surveyors. The surveyors usually create their own machine control models based on the material deliv

Det finns idag en utbredd förlust av kontroll i samhället. Osäkerheten sprider sig i takt med de fasta anställningsavtalens borttynande. Samtidigt har vi kanske aldrig varit så kontrollerande som idag. Nya gym dyker upp som svampar ur jorden och en växande skara coacher drar omkring och predikar om att återta kontrollen över livet. I ett mörklagt rum återupptäcker 30 chefer livet med hjälp av kons

The use of pay-for-delay settlements in the pharmaceutical sector, by which the entry of a generic drug into the market is delayed by way of a value transfer from the originator company to generic companies, have raised intense scrutiny by the EU and the US authorities. This thesis reviews the way it has been analyzed under European and the US competition and patent law. Also, the law and economic

In order to curb emissions and resulting environmental problems caused by the rapidly growing energy use of its building sector, China has implemented a number of policy instruments to promote Green Building practices, including market-based instruments for energy efficiency in buildings. This thesis aims to evaluate the economic efficiency of these policy measures, using the Four-High Award of Sh

Syftet med litteraturstudien är att belysa sjuksköterskors och patienters erfarenheter av omvårdnaden efter ett parasuicid. Uppföljningsstudier har visat att en del av de personer som har gjort ett parasuicid har under de närmaste tio åren fullbordat ett suicid, varav hälften gör det inom ett år. I litteraturstudien analyserades och kvalitetsgranskades åtta vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultatet visad

While various studies have been conducted on the innovative potential suffix of Japanese vowel verbs, commonly known as ranuki kotoba (lit. ra-omission words), few studies exist on the use of the innovative form based on situational context and style of speech. The main purpose of my thesis is to provide an up-to-date quantitative analysis on the situation-based use of ranuki kotoba (referred to a

En familj har traditionellt sett bestått av en moder, en fader och ett antal barn. Det innebär att lagstiftningen inom familjerätten är utformad för att passa dessa omständigheter. Lagstiftarna har arbetat utifrån antagandet att de familjer som skulle påverkas av deras lagstiftning skulle vara av den traditionella sorten och att deras lagstiftning därför skulle vara fullt tillräcklig. Det har sagTraditionally families have been made up of a mother, a father and any number of children. This means that the legislation in this area has been made to fit those circumstances. The legislators have worked under the assumption that the families affected by their policies would be of the traditional kind and therefore their policies would be sufficient. It has been said that the legislation in a

Issue: The majority of arable land that exists today is already occupied while the population around the world is constantly increasing. New cultivable areas must be explored and developed. Is the construction of greenhouses on existing rooftops in urban environments possible, and how can this benefit a city like Malmö? Purpose: The purpose of this project is to display how a greenhouse may be con

Den här uppsatsen beskriver hur verksamhet ser ut på ett servicekontor. Beskrivningen utgår främst från personalens tolkningar och upplevelser av arbetet, arbetsuppgifterna och sin yrkesroll. Fokus ligger på de strukturer som finns i yrkesrollen och inte på de individuella egenskaper som finns hos servicehandläggarna. Jag arbetar själv på ett servicekontor sedan 2 år tillbaka och min utgångspunkt

The main purpose of this explorative master thesis is to describe, explain and understand the main success factors that lie behind the regional innovation system in Silicon Wadi in Israel. This is done in order to suggest some tentative ideas on how to further develop the emerging ICT cluster in Malmö/Lund. Four sub purposes have been applied in order to achieve the main purpose: To understand why

This thesis examines the possibility to combine droplet generation techniques together with acoustic particle manipulation in microfluidics to achieve focusing of particles inside micro droplets. In the thesis I introduce the reader to the general concepts of microfluidics, droplet dynamics, acoustics and microfabrication which are the basis for my experiments. The practical work focuses on the im

The purpose of this essay is to analyze the phenomenon of informal payments in Greece and introduce a theoretical model for the physicians’ behavior while including ethical concern in the physicians’ utility maximization problem. The inspiration model of this essay comes from the empirical paper of Thompson and Xavier (2002), which introduces informal payments in physicians’ behavior. According to

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Ska du flyga långt med de där vingarna? Vissa fåglar flyger långt, andra inte. Silvertärnorna flaxar med vingarna från Arktis till Antarktis medan pingvinerna använder vingarna för att simma och inte flyger alls. Eftersom att olika fåglar använder sina vingar på så olika sätt så har nämnda vingar anpassats efter vingbärarnas behov. Vissa studier har visat sambaAbstract Bird wings are adapted to the needs of the birds and bird wings therefore differ between species, but also between ages and sexes. In this thesis, an interspecific analysis investigating relations between measurements of wing shape for birds within the Sylviidae-family, revealed strong connections between morphologically unrelated measurements. Long distances (compared to the wing length

In a European collaborative research project a timber-glass shear wall element has been developed. This consists of a 10×1200×2400 mm thick glass pane of standard float glass with an LVL-frame adhesively bonded to the glass along its perimeter .In previous research several laboratory tests of these types of shear walls were performed. The tests, performed for various modes of loading, indicated th

I Sverige har mer än 1,8 miljoner människor hypertoni. Högt blodtryck klassas därmed som en folksjukdom och innebär en riskfaktor för att utveckla allvarliga sjukdomstillstånd. En del av distriktssköterskans arbete innebär preventivt folkhälsoarbete. Syftet med studien var att belysa distriktssköterskans upplevelser av motiverande samtal med patienter med hypertoni. Intervjuer utfördes med 13 dist

Livsmedelslarmen under årens lopp har varit så pass omfattande att konsumenter har tappat förtroendet för livsmedelssäkerhet, livsmedelsindustrin och myndigheter. Vid livsmedelslarm drabbas företag även av ekonomiska följdskador och skador på varumärke. För att undvika och minska risken för framtida matlarm behövs större kontroll på spårbarhet hos livsmedelsföretag. I forskningsvärlden är det i

Popular science summary Cancer is a disease of growth. The cancerous cells have lost the ability to stop themselves from growing and dividing. They often grow so fast that they can't get enough oxygen, the blood vessels can't keep up with their demand. We call this hypoxia. One might think this is a good thing, we don't want cancers to grow unchecked. But our cells have ways to deal w

Då utvecklingen av digital kommunikation bland annat leder till mindre öga-mot-öga-kontakt (F2F), var studiens syfte att undersöka om olika nivåer av F2F-kontakt korrelerar med den interpersonella tilliten mellan chef och anställd. En enkätundersökning med 60 yrkesverksamma deltagare genomfördes, och resultaten visade inga signifikanta samband mellan F2F och tillit, något som i viss mån skiljer siSince less face-to-face contact (F2F) is one of the implications of digital communication development, this study was designed to examine if different levels of F2F-contact correlates with interpersonal trust between employees and their manager. A survey with 60 participants was conducted, and the results showed no significant relationship between F2F and trust, to some extent making it stand out
