Bakgrund: Tilliten för livsmedelsbranschen och således köttbranschen har blivit ifrågasatt av konsumenter de senaste årtiondena på grund av olika redlighetsfusk, sjukdomsutbrott och misskötta djur. Konsumenter värderar kvalitetsattribut som säkerhet och etiska aspekter allt mer. Bevis som stödjer dessa värderingar kallas tillitsattribut, dessa går inte att utvärdera ens efter konsumtion. För köttb

I en kartläggning gjord av SRN upptäcktes vissa skatteplaneringsförfaranden som innebar att företagen genom koncerninterna lån kunde begära avdrag för räntekostnaderna i Sverige medans motsvarande ränteinkomst slussades till länder där inkomsten beskattades lågt eller inte alls. Innan 2009 har Skatteverket inte haft möjlighet att neka avdrag för räntekostnaderna av lånestrukturer inom koncerner so

The history of the population control movement is one replete with controversies and where narratives about coercive population control policies and programs abound. Questionable practices such as the wide sterilization campaigns as took place in India during its state of emergency period in the 1970s or the use of contraceptives in the developing world already banned from Western markets contribu

This rapport is a study in advance of a possible up and coming restoration of the old observatory in Lund. The rapport is based on the possibility that it will be restored to accommodate modern facilities and suit the needs and demands we have on a modern building regarding installations and accessibility. This rapport describes in detail how to transform and renovate the old observatory to house

This thesis is about ”BIM " , it addresses the problems and risks associated with the introduction in Sweden and how the expression is misinterpreted. The work also includes how BIM should be used to achieve profitability and how the different operators relate to it. The Swedish construction industry is today exposed with big problems when it comes to productivity, efficiency, material waste

The silo is a landmark that is known for its unique shape, height and large volume and is now a building that in our big cities threatens extinction. This type of construction is not usually built anymore, all because of new techniques that replaces this kind of large mass grain storages. The intention of the report is to analyze how an industrial building, shaped as a silo can be changed into res

In this thesis we consider a general approach to modeling dependence in extreme values of exchange rates by using copulas. As specific examples the following pairs of currencies are analyzed: Swedish krona to U.S. dollar (SEK/USD), Swedish krona to Euro (SEK/EUR), Swedish krona to British pound (SEK/GBP), Swedish krona to Japanese Yen (SEK/JPY), Swedish krona to Danish krone (SEK/DKK) and Swedish

Syftet med denna uppsats är att bidra med en förståelse för värdebegreppets innebörd i 3PL-branschen.

Studien visar att relationen mellan 3PL-aktör och kund öppnar för flera möjligheter som kan uppfattas som värdeskapande. För att bättre synliggöra hur vär

Inom fältet kvantinformation behandlar man information med hjälp av så kallade kvantmekaniska system, vilket tillför både möjligheter och svårigheter i reella tillämpningar. Ett fundamentalt begrepp är den så kallade kvantbiten, eller qubit som den brukar omnämnas i engelsk litteratur, vilken är den grundläggande komponenten i vilken kvantinformation hanteras, som en direkt analog till biten i en One of the important building blocks in the quantum information field, is the so called quantum memory. Processing is usually performed on quantum information in the form of qubits, which is an analogy to the classical bits in a normal computer. A big concern however is the fact that quantum information which is represented by some quantum state of one or several particles, is easily destroyed by

This master degree project has had the purpose of designing a chair for small scale serial production in Sweden. Origin has been a big focus point, and the wood has been carefully selected to minimise ecological footprint through transportation of the product. Another focus point has been the complicated process of designing a chair that is unique. The report includes the background of the carpent

Epilepsy is a common disease that affects about 1 % of the population. The neurological disease is characterised by episodes of neural hyperactivity (seizures) and neural synchronization that can have behavioural manifestations such as convulsions. Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) can be used for treating most cases of epilepsy, but since especially temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) has proven to be drug re

Sammanfattning De senaste åren har Sverige fått kritik från flera internationella organ angående situationen för frihetsberövade barn och i synnerhet de restriktioner som majoriteten av dem har, vilket ofta medför isolering. Häktade barn befinner sig mitt i inledande rättsprocess samtidigt som de befinner sig i denna isolering. Detta påverkar naturligtvis deras deltagande i rättsprocessen. FN:s koSummary Over the past few years, several international bodies has criticised Sweden regarding the situation children in custody face, with special concern about the restrictions, including isolation, that the majority of the children have to endure. While in this isolation, children in custody are in an early stage of their judicial process. The UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)

I samhällsdebatten talas det ofta om jämställdhet i arbetslivet och om jämställdhet i familjen. Den här uppsatsen gör en ansats att förena de två perspektiven. Jobba jäm(n)t? – uppsatsens titel – är en anspelning på frågeställningar om ett jämställt arbetsliv men är även en kritisk ingång till om det generella arbetstidsmått vi har i Sverige idag är det optimala och hur det påverkar jämställdhetenEquality of opportunity between men and women, either in working or in family life, is a frequent topic of public debate. This essay is an attempt to combine the two perspectives, and scrutinizes whether the general workday schedule in Sweden influences gender equality in general. Questions raised are: Who is working all the time? How is the distribution of paid work and unpaid work at home betwee
