Entreprenadavtal karakteriseras av att arbetena de reglerar tenderar att vara omfattande, komplicerade och långvariga, vilket ställer krav på samverkan mellan entreprenadavtalets parter. När en av avtalsparterna inte utför sin huvudförpliktelse uppstår ett avtalsbrott, vilket kan innebära att vissa påföljder med anledning av avtalsbrottet aktualiseras. I särskilda fall kan den skadelidande parten Contracting contracts are characterized by the work they regulate tend to be extensive, complicated and long-lasting, which implies a demand on collaboration between the contracting parties.

Soils play a critical role in the carbon (C) cycle by regulating the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, and correspondingly the Earth’s climate. However, there are still countless questions of how biological and geochemical soil processes affect the C cycle. To be able to predict future implications on the Earth’s climate, we need to understand these processes. Globally, soils store more C tIron oxide nanoparticles are involved in several important biogeochemical processes. The interfaces between aqueous solutions and iron oxide nanoparticle surfaces are found everywhere in nature, and the chemical and microbial processes occurring at these complex interfaces control e.g. nutrient and contaminant availability and transport. Recently, it has been shown that certain ectomycorrhizal (EC

The enlargement of the European Union has been claimed to be one of the most powerful foreign policy instruments to spread peace and stability in the wider Europe. The EU if often expected to have a responsibility for the broader European region, a responsibility that can be derived from treaty texts and declarations. The effectiveness of the enlargement instrument is dependent on the credibility
This paper explores how the regional policies of Sweden and Norway have impactedthe respective peripheral regions of Västerbotten and Troms. There is a variety ofmaterial used in this text, ranging from government white papers, policy documents,statistical data taken from governmental databases.

In this thesis, I claim that there are two forms of state responsibility: ordinary responsibility and aggravated responsibility. The concern of aggravated responsibility is to be able to handle serious breaches of peremptory norms. I will systematically describe the definition of the concept of aggravated responsibility and its development. I also claim that aggravated responsibility is legally ju
Modelica is a modelling language used to describe a physical system and can be used to simulate the system. A Modelica compiler transforms a Modelica model into an equation system in order to simulate it. During this transformation the information about where the equations originates from is lost. This information could be useful to have when, e.g., trying to locate an error. In this thesis we sol
Even though statelessness is a widespread issue, it rarely receives the attention it warrants. This thesis focuses on statelessness in Brunei, a country in which the stateless population might account for as much as 35% of the total population (DRL 2013). The aim of this paper is to investigate the production of statelessness and its implications for the people in question. The aim was addressed b
This thesis examines the theory of technopopulism, defined as an organized political logic that combines technocratic and populist forms of rule. According to Christopher J Bickerton & Carlo Invernizzi Accetti the technopopulist political logic is dominating contemporary European democratic societies since the beginning of the 1990ies. This essay therefore aims to test this theory on Swedish c
This research analyzes the climate adaptation strategy of Copenhagen, focusing on cloudburst (rain-based) flooding and the use of infrastructure to mitigate damage. This strategy is analyzed through document analysis and structured interviews, using a theoretical framework of political ecology and urban green assemblages. This framework focuses analysis on the role of actors (human and non-human)
The expanding membership of the European Union (EU), as well as the the expansion of the scope and the deepening of the level of integration, has contributed to increase diversity within the EU. In order to cope with this situation a system of differentiated integration developed. Differentiation is a way of integration which involves only a limited number of member states. The objective of this p
