I Sverige överenskommes årligen tusentals uppdrag som kan hänföras till området för entreprenader. Entreprenaduppdrag kan vara alltifrån mindre åtaganden till omfattande arbeten med höga kontraktsbelopp. Eftersom dessa arbeten faller utanför KöpL tillämpningsområde uppkommer ett behov av reglering vilket görs inom ramen för den så kallade entreprenadrätten. Entreprenadrätten har i brist på lagreglYearly, thousands of transactions in Sweden can be related to construction of some kind. These constructions can be very various in scope, everything from small undertakings, to extensive long term assignments. Since general purchasing laws of Sweden are not applicable for constructions, there is a need for regulation concerning these assignments. Consequently, a standard agreement – ‘Allmänna Bes

Det övergripande syftet med uppsatsen var att skapa förståelse för vilka hinder och möjligheter gällande lärande som finns på en arbetsplats och i arbetslivet för personer med Aspergers syndrom. För att besvara det har jag studerat de teoretiska kopplingarna mellan Aspergers syndrom och lärande i arbetslivet samt analyserat och diskuterat hinder och möjligheter för dessa individers lärande i arbet

Despite indications that inequality can have a large impact on development, little research on the relationship between foreign aid and inequality exists. The majority of the studies on the subject also focus on overall aid figures, thereby leaving the question of whether the purpose of aid matters unexplored. This study uses panel data on 116 countries over the time period 1972-2011 to focus on w

Title: Forgotten Role Models - A Qualitative Study on Selection and Equality in 20th Century Popular Music History Education Author: Anna Edström This paper is a qualitative study based on interviews with four music history teachers working at different levels in the Swedish educational system. The intention of the study is to describe how teachers regard their role as mediators of a cultural heTitel: Bortglömda förebilder - en kvalitativ undersökning om jämställdhet i musikhistorieundervisning Författare: Anna Edström Detta examensarbete är en kvalitativ studie, baserad på intervjuer med fyra musiklärare som arbetar i olika delar av utbildningssystemet, och som alla undervisar i musikhistoria på olika sätt. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka hur lärare ser på sin roll som förmedlare a

This thesis investigates the impact of foreign aid in 46 sub-Saharan countries. Furthermore, this study also examines what effect the interaction between policies and aid has on growth. This is done through a panel based OLS regression model on the years of 1996-2011. The main findings are that there’s not a clear answer to whether aid has a significant effect on growth and that the result depends

The paper intends to shed some light on the means that are in force for taxpayer protection since many developments have taken place recently that created uncertainty in this context. Further it seeks to draw more attention to the deficiencies in legislation that taxpayers face when their data is exchanged beyond borders. It is aimed at determining whether current (and accordingly the emerging aut

Bakgrund: Hittills har det saknats frågeformulär, översatta och validerade på svenska, att använda för att utvärdera hörapparatanpassningar på barn från två år och uppåt. Parents’ Evaluation of Aural/Oral Performance (PEACH) Rating Scale är ett frågeformulär som mäter barns auditiva utveckling och som kan användas från cirka sex månaders ålder upp till skolåldern. Frågeformuläret är från början ut

Flygprestanda AB supplies IT services for airline operations, management and control. The system delivered to facilitate this is the Flight Operation Control System or FOCS. This thesis addresses the Schedule View service included in the FOCS system. The Schedule View is a tool where the user gets an overview of aircrafts and planned flights. In addition aircrafts and flights can be added and modi

A model implemented in order to describe the electricity demand on hourly basis for the Nordic countries. The objective of this project is to use the demand data simulated from the model as input data in the price forecast model, EMPS model, at Vattenfall. The time horizon is 5 years, 6 years including the current year. After different models tried out, the final model is described by fundamental

During the past decades the interest of what effect Regional Integration Agreements (RIA’s) have on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flow have been increasing. Previous studies have mainly focused on trade effects of RIA’s, which has left scope of studies for FDI effect. The aim of this paper is to examine whether the ASEAN Investment Area (AIA) Agreement, which was concluded in 1999, have affected

The aim and purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the utilization of private-public collaboration of the exchange of information on risks and vulnerabilities concerning food supply in Sweden, with a view to provide the participants with recommendations on how to improve or how to initiate this collaboration. The study consists of interviews with respondents from Swedish municipalities, one Swedish

An earthshine telescope has been designed and is being fabricated at Lund Observatory in collaboration with the Danish Meteorological Institute. The instrument will measure the albedo of the Earth by observing the Moon in white light and in certain spectral bands. The measurement is based on relative photometry of the dark and bright sides of the Moon, so the optical design of the telescope has be

This paper provides an empirical analysis of the relationship between economic variables and sovereign risk premiums in the eurozone between the years 1988 and 2013. By using a Markov regime switching model it is possible to prove a nonlinear relationship. The result supports previous research, arguing that the market is observing economic variables to a larger degree during periods of financial i

The scope and objective of this work was to evaluate and determine fire properties for a material that will be used for radiation shielding at the research centre. Traditionally two materials, borated paraffin and borated polyethylene, are used for radiation shielding at neutron-based research laboratories. Since base paraffin and base polyethylene are known as combustible materials with a high en

Antti Keksi (c:a 1622–1705), som levde i Övertorneås Torakankorva, anses vara den förste till namnet kände finske allmogeskalden. Hans Kvädet över vårfloden i Torneälven år 1677 har traderats till eftervärlden i fyra uppteckningar: den som gjordes för Giuseppe Acerbi under hans besök i Övertorneå 1799 (ACERBI), den som har hört till Henrik Gabriel Porthan (1739–1804) i Åbo (PORTHAN) och den som hö

Nuclear power has significantly improved performance over the last thirty years. This improvement has been based on a philosophy of control. That is, for each issue that must be managed to achieve safe performance, a pre-determined barrier must be established. In addition to the barriers that were designed into the plant, a large range of programs, processes and procedures have been developed to d

Can a more universal human rights protection be achieved through the concept of common heritage of mankind? Knowing that this concept is previously only known by its use with regard to the deep sea-bed or by the attempt the international community made for the application with reference to the moon and other celestial bodies, it might be hard to grasp that this unconventional theory can be applied

In 2000, the African Growth and Opportunity Act was signed into law in the United States, and is at present set to last until 2015. The act aimed at helping the Sub-Saharan African countries develop “through trade, not aid”. This essay studies the effect of the act on diversification of goods exported from these African countries to the United States. By analysing trade data for the period 1997-20
