Som en effekt av den globala strävan som syftar till att motverka klimatförändringar som tillskrivs ökande koldioxidnivåer i atmosfären försöker man hitta okonventionella sätt att minska koldioxidutsläpp. CCS anses vara en metod med stor potential för detta syfte vilket har föranlett en världsomspännande prospektering av platser som kan användas för geologiskt lagring av koldioxid. Detta arbete As a part of a global attempt to mitigate impending climate change owing to increasing atmospheric CO₂levels unconventional methods which may reduce CO₂ emissions are extensively researched. Carbon Capture and Storage,(CCS) is considered to be a promising method for this purpose. As a consequence, worldwide prospection of geological sites in which CO₂ may be stored is currently underway. This th

Bemanningsbranschen är idag starkt etablerad på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Dess snabba utveckling och expandering har dock medfört frågetecken kring den trepartsrelation som skapas mellan kundföretaget, bemanningsföretaget och den anställda och hur denna trepartsrelation hanteras i svensk diskrimineringslagstiftning. Uppsatsen tar avstamp i en promemoria från Näringsdepartementet som belyser deEmployment agencies, as an industry, are well established in the contemporary Swedish labor market. Its vast expansion over the last few decades however, raises questions as to how Swedish discrimination regulations, handle the three-party relationship that occur between the employer, the employee and the host company. The purpose of the essay is to firstly, analyze whether Swedish labor law regu

Utvecklingen av datorhjälpmedel inom byggbranschen har de senaste två decennierna gått starkt framåt. Idag finns verktyg som har potentialen att effektivisera alla delar av byggprocessen, men byggbranschen har fortfarande mycket arbete framför sig för att utnyttja dessa verktyg på ett bra sätt. Begrepp såsom BIM (Building Information Model) myntas ofta, men få aktörer har god förståelse för begrep

En ny lag ska införas i Sverige för att bland annat reglera private equity-investeringar – alltså investeringar i onoterade andelar. Lagen avser investeringar som sker genom att ansvaret för investerarnas medel överlåts till förvaltare för sådana förvärv. Lagstiftningen, som ställer nya krav på förvaltarna, har sin grund i de speciella risker som investeringarna kan medföra. Genom uppsatsen ska beA new law is to be enforced in Sweden in order to regulate investments in private equity – that is investments in unlisted companies. The law concerns investments which are placed through a trustee. It is motivated by the fact that the investor takes a special risk when the trustee places the capital of the investor in unlisted companies. In this essay I will investigate current and coming regulat

Denna uppsats tar sin utgångspunkt i den pågående debatten kring en tillgång till assisterad befruktning för ensamstående kvinnor. Assisterad befruktning är ett samlingsnamn för de metoder som finns för att avhjälpa ofrivillig barnlöshet och regleras i Sverige genom lag (2006:351) om genetisk integritet m.m. Frågan är aktuell eftersom riksdagen i mars 2012 gav regeringen i uppdrag att ta fram ett This thesis is based on the current Swedish debate about the ability of single women to access Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). ART is a general term referring to methods used to overcome infertility by artificial means and is regulated by the Swedish Act (2006:351) on Genetic Integrity. The topic is relevant because the Swedish Parliament in March 2012 gave the government a directive to pr

Anställningsbarhet är ett odefinierat, men värdeladdat begrepp, som bär upp vår arbetsmarknad. Men vad betyder det egentligen att vara anställningsbar? För att utreda utbildningens roll för att vara anställningsbar inom de generella akademiska yrkena, redogörs det i denna uppsats för begreppets uppkomst och utveckling fram till idag, olika perspektiv för begreppet samt hur dagens arbetsmarknad ser

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the networks meaning for youths sense of safety. The main questions were: ¤ How can a network for a youth look like today? Is there any difference between boys or girls network? Which? ¤ What does safety mean for youths today? Is there any difference in the description of safety between boys and girls? ¤ Which part of the network constitutes the greatest

The purpose of this paper was to, from a user perspective examine and describe how the cares of people with learning disabilities in two care residences fulfil stated quality objectives. Another purpose was also to examine if the quality tool, Quest, was useful when evaluating Swedish conditions. The result shows the conditions were good for performing high quality care, but there are certain need

The aim of our essay was to examine what a few young former drug addicts, who have gone through treatment, consider to be significant factors in giving up their addiction. Has any event taken place, which has been important for their giving up the addiction? Has it been a long process or a definite break? What influence has the treatment, or specific persons, had? How is the breaking up from life

I studied the risk of threats and violence towards social workers and how prevention work is organised and performed in a case study. I studied available data and literature on the subject and performed qualitative interviews with three social workers and the head of department of an average sized welfare office in Sweden, and a social worker who had been threatened by a client in another work pla

Galectins are family of cytosolic proteins that function as both positive and negative modulators of various cell processes. Galectin-3 has an altered expression pattern in pathophysiological processes, such as cancer or chronic inflammation, which makes it an interesting target for pharmaceutical research. The treatment of galectin-3 ill-regulation was shown effective in serious conditions like i

Väderprognoser är av stor betydelse för till exempel flygrutter, militära operationer och sjöfart. Flera organisationer tillhandahåller numera inte bara sina väderprognoser öppet, utan delar även med sig av sina prognosdata för nedladdning. Teknisk utveckling och ett större utbud av öppna data möjliggör användning av väder- och prognosdata för både privata och kommersiella ändamål. Egna programmerWeather forecasts are of great significance for instance in planning flight routes, military operations, and seafare. Many organizations today openly provide, not only their forecasts, but their raw data as well. Technological development and a greater availability of open data ensures that both weather- and forecast data can be used for both private and commercial purposes. However, customized ap

The city of Malmö in southern Sweden has long argued and presented itself as a city of tomorrow and a city for everyone. The city often shows itself as a modern city with a focus on modern technology. One of the ways Malmö wishes to present itself as a leading city is through the development of the city’s infrastructure and mobility. The city has lofty goals focused on bringing democracy to the sp

This thesis presents a method, from an article by Gouveia and Stone, for solving resonant ODE:s as well as ODE:s with multiple roots, based on perturbation theory. It also gives a mathematical justification for the method as well as background on resonance and repeated roots. Later in the thesis we use the method to solve a number of ODE’s, illustrating its usefulness.

The scramjet engine is an air-breathing engine that can be used to travel at supersonic speeds. Research is being done into how these engines can be used as reusable launch vehicles for space travel, missile propulsion, and many hope one day scramjets can be used for commercial flight. Scramjets are highly beneficial in the sense that hydrogen is the primary fuel and that manufacturing is simple c

Previous research has shown that conducting scientific research aimed at studying human behavior in a virtual environment in the context of safety is feasible. However, most applications of this kind are done with a primary focus on the visual aspects of the virtual environment. This study investigates if (a) a visual and auditory recreation of a real-world environment in Virtual Reality (VR) for
