De senaste årens volatila marknadsläge har lett till konflikt mellan beställare och entreprenör med avseende på osedvanliga prisökningar och leveransstörningar. Det råder sällan en gemensam bild i projektorganisationen kring hanteringen av dessa vilket kan påverka relationen mellan beställare och entreprenör. Studiens syfte är bidra till en kunskapsutveckling som gynnar aktörerna som påverkats avThe volatile market situation in recent years has led to a conflict between client and contractor with regard to unusual price increases and delivery disruptions. There is rarely a common understanding in the project organization on how to deal with these, which can affect the relationship between the client and the contractor. The aim of the study is to contribute to the development of knowledge

The labor market integration of immigrants in general, and female migrants in particular, remains a central developmental objective for counteracting inequalities within societies across Europe. Previous studies put forth the concept of social capital, the resources linked to an individual's network of social connections, to explain immigrants’ diverging labor market trajectories. Policy-maker

Background: Studies have put spinal bifida which Myelomeningocoel (MMC) is a form at 6.1 per 10,000 births in Sweden. Other evaluations have pointed that disabilities could pose a burden on families despite the social net available within the Swedish society. It has been reported that depression, musculoskeletal disorders, and frequent health care visits are often likely to be reported in parents

För att utöka biogasproduktionen i Västra Götalandsregionen (VGR) kan restströmmar från jordbrukssektorn fungera som en storskalig leverantör av biomassa. Produktionen av biogas minskar beroendet av fossila bränslen och rötresten som bildas kan också återföras till jordbrukssektorn, vilket skapar ett slutet kretslopp. I detta examensarbete granskades utökningen genom en kartläggning av biogasproduTo expand the biogas production in Region Västra Götaland (RVG), residual streams from the agricultural sector can function as a large-scale supplier of biomass. The production of biogas decreases the dependence of fossil fuels and the digestate that is formed can also be returned to the agricultural sector, creating a closed loop. The expansion was assessed in this thesis by the investigation of

Detta examensarbete har skrivits i sammarbete med ett företag i södra Sverige. Målet har varit att utvärdera ett befintligt industridesign-förslag, undersöka vilka industraliserbara lösningar som finns tillgänglig på marknaden idag, och generera ett nytt designförslag som kan implementeras under en kortare tidsperiod. Målet med designförslaget har varit att ta fram en design som har en ny look-andThis master thesis has been written in collaboration with a large company in southern Sweden. The goal has been to evaluate a current industrial design proposal, look at the current technology available on the market, and then generate a new proposal that can be implemented in a short period of time. The goal with the design was to generate a design the has a new look-and-feel, while still fitting

This master thesis project was performed in collaboration with an agricultural cooperative Lantmännen Oats AB, who has developed a dry protein powder concentrate PrOatein™. The powder consists of oat proteins, dextrins, lipids and β-glucans. The aim of the thesis was to investigate the powder’s functionality in a liquid emulsion and see if it can be improved by pre-treating it with thermal heating

This master thesis, executed in collaboration with Opticept Technologies, has the purpose of developing a machine concept that enables the treatment of leafy products with Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF). PEF is an emerging technology within the food industry that works by changing the cell membrane structure of food products by exposing them to high-voltage electric fields. It can be used to improve

Companies have increasingly launched brand extensions in recent years while building on the credibility of the parent brand. Early brand extension research led to conservative statements about brand extensions and most research around them focuses on success factors from a quantitative perspective. Far less research addresses the brand meaning and the role of brand relationships in the context of

Studien kretsar kring unga vuxnas relationer till sociala medier ur deras eget perspektiv. Fokus fästs på vilka tankar och känslor som unga vuxna förknippar med särskilda digitala plattformar, såsom Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat och TikTok, i syfte att undersöka hur de själva tycker att de påverkas – antingen positivt eller negativt – av dessa sociala medier. Vidare innefattar studien utgångspunkt

Att det finns ett behov av ett nytt transportsystem som ej bygger på (den fossildrivna) bilen är nästintill konsensus i större delen av den moderna världen idag. Det är också konsensus att cykeln kommer att vara en viktig del i denna omställning. Ett problem med vår samtids insatser för att främja cykling är dock att de sker i en kontext präglad av bilens hegenomi. Utformning av ny infrastruktur o

The effect of ”Quiet Eye” (QE), an oculomotor behavior predicting improved performance, has been identified in a variety of sports studies in the past 30 years. Most commonly, longer QE durations and earlier QE onsets results in higher accuracy of the participants. Recently, Dahl et al. (2021) have shown that these findings can be generalized to esports, a newly emerging field of performance psych

FLO is designed and dedicated to creating intuitive music playing with tactile and sensory experience for advanced music producers as well as beginners, even with minimal skills. The inspiration is from the traditional Chinese instrument, the Guzheng. Thinking in a counterfactual way, as most of the synthesizers in the market present a western symbol as the piano keys, I investigated whether the

Internet är ett nätverk där många datorer kommunicerar med varandra. På samma sätt består gennätverk av en uppsättning gener som är sammankopplade för att kunna kommunicera. Dessa sammankopplingar är dock inte alltid lätta att urskilja enbart utifrån att studera nätverkets dynamik. Processen, som ofta är lång och utmanande, kräver många tester för att få en korrekt nätverksstruktur. Detta är en beThis thesis presents the architecture of a convolutional neural network which is trained to impute the connections of randomly generated gene regulatory networks under varying amounts of regularisation. The generated gene networks are simulated from 10 different starting conditions for each set of connections in order to obtain multiple time series. The generated time series are fed into the neura

De provokativa åtgärderna är en polisiär arbets- och utredningsmetod, vilken traditionellt beskrivs som att polisen i sitt brottsbekämpande arbete lockar fram beteenden från en enskild brottsmisstänkt, i form av yttranden eller handlingar, som kan vara ofördelaktiga för vederbörande. De provokativa åtgärderna har använts inom den polisiära verksamheten en längre tid, trots avsaknad av lagregleringProvocative measures can be described as a an investigation method, whereas the police entices to behaviour through expressions or actions, which in some aspect are unfavourable or disadvantegous for the provoced person. Provocative measures have been used as an investigation method by the Swedish police for a longer time, even though no legislation legitimizes or regulates its usage. The uncertai

Agonistic theory has expanded to many research fields including peace and conflict studies, but it has yet to be used in the study of mediation. This thesis aims to fill this void by exploring the theoretical agonism-mediation nexus. By using agonistic peace theory to perform a qualitative content analysis of the UN Guidance for Effective Mediation (GEM), a discussion on the theory’s relevance in

Samernas traditionella landområde Sápmi breder ut sig över norra Norge, Sverige, Finland och Kolahalvön i Ryssland, och omfattar därmed stora delar av Sveriges mest mineralrika områden. Storskaliga utvinningsprojekt har varit föremål för flera intensiva konflikter mellan samerna och staten, och gett upphov till såväl lokala protestaktioner som nationell debatt. I egenskap av urfolk åtnjuter samernSápmi, the traditional lands of the indigenous Sami people, expands across northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and into the Russian Kola Peninsula. It contains several of Sweden’s major mineral deposits. Large-scale extraction projects have been the subject of intense conflicts between the Sami and the Swedish state and has given rise to local protests as well as nation-wide political debate. Indigen

This thesis aims to analyze how identity and potential ontological insecurity are expressed in the Islamic State’s narrative and how this may explain the use of suicide attacks. This is done by analyzing the language in the Islamic State’s official magazines between 2014 to 2017 through a theoretical lens of ontological security. The theory of ontological security centers around the threat to an o

Bestämmelsen för mord i 3:1 BrB har justerats av lagstiftaren tre gånger sedan 2009, senast den 1 januari 2020. Ett tydligt syfte från lagstiftarens sida har varit att dels generellt skärpa straffen för mord men också, åtminstone i de två senaste reformerna, att öka antalet livstidsdomar. De justeringar som ägde rum 2009 och 2014 fick inte den effekt som lagstiftaren avsåg utan rättstillämparen koThe provision for murder in 3: 1 BrB has been adjusted by the legislature three times since 2009, no later than 1 January 2020. A clear purpose on the part of the legislator has been to generally increase the penalties for murder but also, at least in the last two reforms, to increase the number of life sentences. The adjustments that took place in 2009 and 2014 did not have the effect that the le

Barn som berörs av avhysning ställs i likhet med barn som drabbas av utmätning av bostad inför risken att förlora sitt hem. En trygg hemmiljö anses vara av stor vikt för barnets utveckling och främja behovet av stabilitet. Barn som befinner sig i osäkra beroendesituationer riskerar att påverkas negativt på flera plan, och upplever inte sällan stark oro och försämrat psykiskt mående. I denna uppsChildren who are affected by an eviction are, like children affected by attachment and sale of a house due to enforceable debt, faced with the risk of losing their home. A safe home environment is considered to be of great importance for the child's development and promotes the need for stability. Studies show that children subject to unsettled housing situations tend to experience grave anxie
