Det är en allmän rättsgrundsats att såväl förvaltningsmyndigheter som domstolar ska motivera de beslut eller avgöranden som meddelas. Denna skyldighet har vid ett flertal tillfällen konstaterats vara en grundpelare för att upprätthålla den enskildes rättssäkerhet i förvaltningsprocessen. Trots att ämnet under en längre tid har diskuterats generellt i såväl lagförarbeten som doktrin och praxis frånIt is a principle of Swedish law that public administrative authorities and courts give a reasoning for their decisions or judgements. This obligation has on several occasions been found to be a part of the very foundation of the rule of law in the administrative judicial procedure. Although the matter has been subject to general discussion for a long time, in both legislative history, jurispruden

Most cochlear implant (CI) strategies are optimized for speech characteristics while music enjoyment is signicantly below normal hearing performance. In this thesis, electrical stimulation strategies in CIs are analyzed for music input. A simulation chain consisting of two parallel paths, simulating normal hearing conditions and electrical hearing respectively, is utilized. One thesis objective is

After the Arab spring, states in the MENA-region that were enrolled in the popular uprisings are now entering different settings. Some have been more successful, and reaching all the way to democratic consolidation. Others like Egypt are currently experiencing severe backlashes. In this post revolution context, time is starting to run out for an escape out of the transitional maze. Tunisia is not

An extensive part of the Swedish roads are low-traffic roads, which are not properly constructed and thus lack the necessary bearing capacity. The Swedish Transport Administration has a limited budget each year that is used to fix the roads with the comprehensive needs. Therefore, it is important to be able to make a quick inventory of the existing damages in order to make road maintenance more co

This thesis aims to show the prospect of capacitance measurements over nanowire arrays as an evaluation method of the p-doping level in weakly p-doped p-n nanowires. The premise of the method is that there will be a high yield of statistical data regarding the doping level of the nanowires. The majority of the work carried out and presented in this thesis is however aimed at the manufacturing of a

För att uppnå de nationella klimatmålen har energieffektivisering vid renovering av flerbostadshus uppmärksammats som ett strategiskt område. Dock väljer många fastighetsägare bort investeringar i energieffektiviserande åtgärder till förmån för projekt som anses vara mer lönsamma. Därmed är det av intresse att undersöka hur fastighetsägarna motiverar sina val vid investeringar i energieffektiviserIn order to achieve the national climate goals in Sweden, energy-efficiency has been noticed as a strategic area. Despite of the possibility, investments in sustainable retrofit of building blocks are not prioritized among property owners. Instead, projects with a higher profit are chosen. Therefore, it is essential to scrutinize the decision-makers motivation during this investments and how the p

A receiver that covers several RF bands requires multiple front-end filters which increases the cost in terms of components and/or board/silicon area. Front-end filters assist a receiver to withstand interference at multiples of its down-conversion frequency. Analog discrete-time filters have gained a lot of traction lately, mainly due to their promising architecture, achieving baseband filtering,

Eftersom världen fortsätter att se en ökning av koldioxidutsläpp, är åtgärder för att minska människans negativa miljöpåverkan av största vikt. För att kunna konkurrera med flygindustrin föreslår Trafikverket en omfattande utökning av det existerande järnvägsnätverket. Detta inkluderar byggnation av höghastighetsjärnvägar, som skall koppla samman Sveriges storstäder. Sådana planer innefattar även As the world continues to see an increase in carbon dioxide emissions, actions aiming towards reducing man's negative impact on the environment are paramount. To be able to compete with the air travel industry, the Swedish Transport Administration suggests a vast expansion of the existing railway system. This includes the construction of high speed railroads connecting the largest urban areas

One of the main challenge’s society faces today is climate change caused by CO2 due to the de-pendence on fossil fuels. To combat the increasing CO2 levels there is a need to develop renewable fuels. One such fuel could potentially be derived from lignin. In this thesis, lignin derived from a pulp and paper mill was first treated and cleaned. The lignin was then processed by catalytic hydroproces

As Muslim communities have become more permanently established in Western European societies, debates around the public practice of Islam in these societies have become more prevalent, while the “global war on terror” rhetoric has aided the construction of Muslim minorities into “Others” along lines of religious and cultural differences. Based on theories of minority participation in the public sp

This thesis will study the notions of governance and corruption and thereby apply it to the case of Jamaica in order to understand how political corruption weakens the country´s governmental legitimacy and principles of democracy. Seeing that corruption is a symbol for the disintegration of state power, it is argued that corruption distorts development of political, social and economic institution

Alberta’s energy sector provides a reliable supply of energy and contributes to the economy of Alberta. In addition to these positive aspects, there are concerns about the environmental, economic and social performance of the energy sector. The purpose of this thesis is to critically examine the production side of Alberta’s energy sector and offer constructive ideas about how the sector could be b

This chapter has a twofold aim. Our first aim is to argue for a shift from viewing engagement as a psychological state to understanding it as a communication phenomenon inherently embedded in relational and interactive processes. We argue that as a communication phenomenon, engagement is best captured in the broader meaning of the verb engage, that is, “to begin and carry out an [...] activity” (M

Lung imaging in mouse disease models is crucial for the assessment of the severity of airway disease but remains challenging due to the small size and the high porosity of the organ. Synchrotron inline free-propagation phase-contrast computed tomography (CT) with its intrinsic high soft-tissue contrast provides the necessary sensitivity and spatial resolution to analyse the mouse lung structure in

Bardawil Lagoon, a natural lagoon located on the northern coast of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, there are three inlets of which two are man-made connecting the lagoon with the Mediterranean Sea. The inlets are subjected to changes in morphology, due to sediment transport, over time and this may lead to degrees of closure of either inlet. The sediment transport is governed by longshore currents and

The aim of this collaboration, between the division of Thermal Power Engineering and Lunds Energi AB, is to investigate the possibilities of training artificial neural networks (ANNs) with power plant operational data. For this purpose operational data from Lunds Energi's gas turbine GT10B with heat recovery unit (HRU) will be used. Furthermore a model with user interface is created to dem

Summary: Purpose: The aim of this Master’s Thesis is to create a procedure for internal project audits. This involves the creation of an instrument for measurement and a prescription for how to transfer learnings to other projects. The end goal is to enhance organisational learning and through that create Total Quality in the management of projects. Methodology: Deductive, qualitative case study w

Problem: Branding has developed from focusing on particular products, or organizations, to now currently on how to brand countries. When the brand is to represent a whole country, the organization needs to create conditions for employees to be able to “live the brand”. The study takes a new approach by, focusing on communication and sense making, bringing together research on nation branding with

We have analyzed the adsorption of protein to the surfaces of silica nanoparticles with diameters of 6, 9, and 15 nm. The effects upon adsorption on variants of human carbonic anhydrase with differing conformational stabilities have been monitored using methods that give complementary information, i.e., circular dichroism (CD), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC)
