Arbetet ämnar till att undersöka eventuella samband mellan fordonsdata och förseningsdata för att fastställa om fordonsdata kan användas för att förutse förseningar. Fordonsdata som genererats till följd av behov för kontrollundersökning, i.e. felkoder, har kombinerats med förseningsdata från Stockholms pendeltåg mellan 2017-01-01 och 2018-12-08. Statistiska beräkningsmetoder har använts för att aThis thesis intends to investigate possible connections between vehicle data and delay data to determine whether vehicle data can be used to predict delays. Vehicle data generated as result of the need for inspection, that is, event codes, has been combined with delay data from Stockholm’s commuter trains between 2017 -01-01 and 2018-12-08. Statistical calculation methods were used to determine po

How do neighbourhoods affect life chances? This is a question that researchers have asked in different forms as early as the 50’s –and there is no shortage of papers exploring neighbourhood effects: how where we live affects our well-being or our participation in the labour market, our life expectancy or, in general, our life outcomes. Yet, there is less consensus than one would expect from a fiel

Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda om Sveriges införande av det ekonomiska arbetsgivarbegreppet ger önskad effekt. Syftet med begreppets inkorporering i lagstiftningen är att skapa konkurrensneutrala regler där företag inte ska anställa på grund av skatteregler utan på affärsmässiga grunder. Begreppet är sedan tidigare känt på global nivå och innebär att arbetstagare inte bara har sin legala arbetsgivThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether Sweden's introduction of the economic employer concept have had the desired effect.

2005 was the year that all of the 25 member states in the European Union were to ratify the treaty of a constitution for Europe. The year did, however, offer a series of unexpected and slightly shocking events as both France and the Netherlands voted no to the constitution. Because of this the already planned referendums across many of the other member states were either postponed indefinately or

BackgroundOlder adults have a high prevalence of chronic pain, which can have a substantial effect on their health and quality of life. Patients’ use of effective pain relief methods is a central part of the treatment and management of chronic pain. The utilization of pain relief methods and their perceived effectiveness are important knowledge for treating and managing chronic pain for clinicians

Dystroglycan is a receptor for extracellular matrix proteins that plays a crucial role during embryogenesis in addition to adult tissue stabilization. A precursor product of a single gene is post-translationally cleaved to form two different subunits, alpha and beta. The extracellular alpha-dystroglycan is a membrane-associated, highly glycosylated protein that binds to various extracellular matri

Introduction In an age when brands have seized the imagination of so many, the corporate landscape has become a brandscape.

The corporate brand is viewed as an important profile builder for corporations. It is seen as an invaluable tool for attracting

Idrottsrörelsen är i dag Sveriges största folkrörelse och idrotten är världen över en angelägenhet för väldigt många människor. Idrottsrörelsen har en lång tradition av autonomi och självbestämmande, som tillsammans med en tilltagande kommersialisering har förstärkts av ett stort användande av skiljeavtal och egna skiljenämnder. Detta har gett upphov till frågan när allmänna domstolar egentligen bToday, the sports movement is the largest social movement in Sweden, and sports are a matter for many people all around the world. The Swedish sports movement has enjoyed a sense of autonomy and independence during a long period of time, and this order has been enhanced due to an increased extent of commercialisation, together with a vast use of arbitration agreements and own arbitration panels.

The hub and main characteristic of Islamic banking is the prohibition of interest (riba), and this is the most significant difference between an Islamic bank and a conventional bank. The proscription has evolved from the stance that making money from money is unacceptable. Riba is often referred to as interest and usury, but it has often been disputed whether the expression involves both terms. Ne

We characterize allelic and gene expression variation between populations of the Glanville fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia) from two fragmented and two continuous landscapes in northern Europe. The populations exhibit significant differences in their life history traits, e.g. butterflies from fragmented landscapes have higher flight metabolic rate and dispersal rate in the field, and higher

Nitrogenase is the only enzyme that can cleave the strong triple bond inN2. The active site contains a complicated MoFe7S9C cluster. It is believed that itneeds to accept four protons and electrons, forming the E4 state, before it can bind N2.However, there is no consensus on the atomic structure of the E4 state. Experimentalstudies indicate that it should contain two hydride ions bridging two pai

In many species, population sex ratios have far-reaching consequences for a wide variety of population-level and behavioural processes and can directly influence sexual selection through differential effects on male and female mating behaviour. Although sex ratios are often treated as more or less stable population characteristics, recent theoretical evidence suggests that sex ratios fluctuate und

This study is on a combined effect of window, the daylighting and the thermal effects, in desert houses. It is comprised of two complementary studies. In the introduction a historical review on the development of use daylight has been carried out in order to place the case study in a historical perspective. The first study is comprehensive and contains two main parts. In the first part a study was
