The temperature distribution in concrete structures varies as a result of fluctuations in solar radiation, air temperature, wind speed and long-wave radiation. Variations in temperature may cause longitudinal and transverse movements. If these movements are restrained, stresses and strains can be induced, which may contribute to cracking in the structure. To predict such thermal actions in a hollo
Resistance to antibiotics is a major threat to the effectiveness of modern health care. This study examines if pay-for-performance (P4P) to care providers stimulates the appropriate use of antibiotics; in particular, if P4P can induce a substitution away from broad-spectrum antibiotics, which contribute more to the development of resistance, to less resistance-driving types. In the context of Swed
Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to explore how knowledge contributes to value adding activities within real estate organisations. More specifically, the study aims to investigate; (1) how knowledge sharing activities are perceived in real estate organisations, (2) what motivates individuals to share knowledge and what incentives are used to support them, and (3) if employees in these organisa

A round table discussion was organized with contributions from nine participants, all with some kind of relationship to the Dalby complex. The participants in the discussion were an exhibition curator, an IT expert from the Design Sciences Department at Lund Universit
Anaerobic digestion is a microbially mediated process occurring in nature in the absence of oxygen and other non-carbonaceous electron acceptors. The majority of the carbon of the organic matter degraded in the process is transformed into carbon dioxide and methane. Most of the energy potential of the degraded material is conserved in the methane, thus providing a renewable energy carrier, which c
Retailing Retold offers an alternative approach to the analysis of how international retail images are translated across national boundaries. The approach extends the view on image in previous research as an instrument for monitoring the effects of marketing strategies on consumers’ perceptions of the retailer. Instead, it suggests that the usefulness of image resides in its ability to capture the
Under 2021 genomfördes ett stort antal M&A-transaktioner på fastighetsmarknaden i Sverige jämfört med tidigare år. Syftet med studien är att studera motiv till M&A-transaktioner på fastighetsmarknaden, hur dessa skapar värde för fastighetsbolagen samt vilka effekter de ger på marknaden. Studien genomfördes genom att läsa litteratur och tidigare forskning på ämnet samt studera M&A-tra
The labor market integration of immigrants in general, and female migrants in particular, remains a central developmental objective for counteracting inequalities within societies across Europe. Previous studies put forth the concept of social capital, the resources linked to an individual's network of social connections, to explain immigrants’ diverging labor market trajectories. Policy-maker
Att göra företagstransaktioner “work” är en av de svåraste uppgifterna i näringslivet. Due diligence vilket brukar kallas ”företagsbesiktning” på svenska är ett sätt att samla in och granska information och risker om ett företag. Det finns olika former av due diligence, varav de sedvanliga formerna är kommersiell, financial och legal due diligence. Både köpare eller säljare anlitar ofta en advokat
The ideals of civic participation are within much of current planning theory regarded as ways of ensuring the democratic and equitable values of planning processes, as well as offering local knowledge to those in power and awarding citizens the influence of being a part of shaping the spaces around them. However, they have also been the subject of much scrutiny; critical assessments of such activi
Medborgarskap är en viktig status för individen. Medborgarskap innebär både rättigheter och skyldigheter för staten och för individen. Att byta och förvärva ett nytt medborgarskap är en stor ockasion i en persons liv. Denna uppsats kommer att granska kriteriet hederligt levnadssätt som återfinns i 11 § femte punkten MedbL. Intressant nog har detta kriterium utvecklats främst genom praxis. Denna u
How we manage resources, in this case food, based on our culture is the core interest of human ecology. According to systems analysist Donella Meadows, cultural factors, i.e. our mindset, are the most difficult intervention points to access for system change - but also the most effective. This essay examines through a survey and a smaller experiment how prescribed norms and attitudes of social cir
Det ämne uppsatsen behandlar gäller arbetstagarbegreppet och plattformsarbete ur ett komparativt nationellt, svenskt arbetsrättsligt, och EU-arbetsrättsligt perspektiv. Digitaliseringen av arbete har lett till delningsekonomins framväxt, såväl har nya mer flexibla och diversifierade anställningsformer utvecklats. Anställningsformen plattformsarbete innehar en stor heterogen arbetskraft med många oThe notion of the employee and work through platforms is to be the subject of the essay, examined from a comparative view of both national and EU-labour legislation. The digitalisation of work has brought forth the sharing economy, thence more flexible and diversified forms of employment. One of which, is platform work with a heterogeneous workforce causing legal disparative concerns. It is a form
