From the moment a government entity makes the decision to initiate a procurement procedure until that procedure is finalized through the award of a contract to a winning supplier, the procuring entity’s course of action is regulated in great detail by relevant public procurement legislation which for Swedish contracting authorities primarily consists of primarily law (2016:1145) on public procurem
Den reklam som användare möter på internet är idag ofta anpassad och utvald för att överensstämma med dennes intressen. För att erbjuda sådan individuellt riktad reklam använder adtechsektorn metoder som bygger på en storskalig kartläggning av användares onlineaktiviteter. Vanligen är det en tredje part till den tjänst som användaren faktiskt nyttjar som ansvarar för och utför den här kartläggningToday, internet users often face advertising that is tailored and selected to match their interests. To offer such targeted advertising the adtech sector use methods that rely on a large scale tracking of users’ internet activities. In most cases this tracking is performed by a third party to the service that the user is accessing. This makes it hard for individuals to know what information is col
I asylmål med sexuell läggning som grund för förföljelse utgör den sökandes berättelse oftast den främsta och ibland enda bevisningen. Utifrån en bevisvärdering av den muntliga utsagan avgörs således om den sexuella läggningen har gjorts sannolik och om sökanden därmed kan åtnjuta skydd som flykting. Fokus för prövningen blir alltså en trovärdighetsbedömning av sökanden och dennes berättelse. Mot In refugee claims, where the applicant is seeking asylum on account of a well-founded fear of being persecuted because of his or her sexuality, the applicant’s own testimony is usually the primary evidence. Therefore, the authorities and the courts have to evaluate whether the applicant has made his or her sexual orientation plausible, and consequently is able to enjoy protection as a refugee, by
Tillämpningen av lagen (1991:572) om särskild utlänningskontroll har de senaste åren kraftigt ökat. Lagen avser kvalificerade säkerhetsärenden och möjliggör för Säkerhetspolisen att ta utländska medborgare som bedöms utgöra en fara för rikets säkerhet i förvar i avvaktan på att de utvisas. Eftersom utvisningarna sällan kan verkställas med anledning av risken för omänsklig behandling i mottagandelaThe application of the Act (1991:572) Concerning Special Controls in Respect of Aliens have had a major increase these last few years. The law refers to qualified security cases and enables the Security Police to take foreign citizens who are deemed to pose a danger to national security into custody pending their deportation. As the deportations can seldom be carried out due to the risk of inhuman
Nowadays, there is a tendency towards higher dynamics in markets and increasing competition especially in engineering and high tech industries. Firms today need to invent new products, acquire unique business models and thereby continuously exceed customer expectations as well as outperform competition. In contrast to the previous innovative approach that relied solely on internal capabilities, ma
The importance of the ability to use bipedal stance and gait in everyday life cannot be underestimated. Bipedal stance is learned during childhood and constantly adapted to changing circumstances throughout life. Failure to attain and maintain the control of upright posture can have catastrophic consequences. Postural competence needs to be recovered in a multitude of illness, in developmental dis
Energy use and supply are evident issues to consider for a sustainable development, where the economic, social and environmental aspects are all important. In large grid-bound systems, the supply of energy is usually a rather invisible activity and the contacts between household custo-mers and utilities are sometimes only repre-sented through the energy bill. In this thesis, three particular field
Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is one of the most commonly used animal models for Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). CIA is induced in susceptible mouse strains after immunization with heterologous type II collagen (CII). In mice of the H-2q haplotype rat CII (rCII) is used whereas in mice of the H-2r haplotype bovine CII is utilized. The broad objective of this thesis was to gain an understanding of th
The main purpose of the present work is to increase knowledge of in-plane tension behav-iour of masonry and develop a model able to describe the impact of parameters influencing cracking caused by restrained shrinkage. In the process the mechanism of load transfer between units and mortar joints is described. The influence of cohesion between units and mortar joints, unit and joint geometry and ex
Autoignition in SI engines is an abnormal combustion mode and may lead to engine knock which is an undesired phenomenon in SI engines. It may cause damage and it is a source of noise in engines. Knock limits the compression ratio of the engine and a low compression ratio means low fuel conversion efficiency of the engine. This thesis presents a theoretical investigation about the modeling of the e
Popular Abstract in Swedish För att kunna simulera de fysikaliska fenomen som pågår i förbränning, krävs även en beskrivning av den kinetik som ingår i förbränningsprocessen. För detta ändamål utvecklas kinetiska modeller. En kinetisk modell är en lista med kemiska reaktioner och reaktionshastighetsparametrar. Modellernas tillämpningsområde begränsas av de valideringsfall och de fysikaliska parameThe simulation of physical phenomena occurring in chemical reactors requires the description of the kinetics involved in the underlying combustion process. Kinetic models are developed for this purpose. A software package, BlueBellMouse, has been developed to facilitate a deeper automatization and ease of simulation, reduction and optimization of kinetic models. A kinetic model is made of a list o
BACKGROUND: In the prostate, the importance of sex hormones for its normal development and function is well known. However, it has been proposed that various neuroendocrine (NE) hormones and growth factors may be involved in the pathogenesis of prostatic carcinoma (CaP). Neuroendocrine differentiation appears to be associated with tumour progression and the androgen-independent state, for which th
This thesis describes an extended flamelet approach for modelling of soot formation in turbulent hydrocarbons diffusion flames. Detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms are used to compute species concentrations, temperature, density and soot formation rates as functions of flamelet coordinates in the space of mixture fraction and scalar dissipation rate. An ensemble average based on a presumed probab
Popular Abstract in Swedish Tidigare trodde man att den vuxna hjärnan inte hade någon förmåga att nybilda nervceller. Detta skulle innebära att nervceller aldrig blev ersatta om de skadades eller dog. Nu vet man däremot att den vuxna hjärnan fortfarande producerar nya nervceller från särskilda moderceller, s.k. stamceller, belägna i åtminstone två områden i hjärnan: subgranulära zonen i hippocamThe adult brain constantly produces new neurons from endogenous neural progenitor cells located in at least two regions, the subgranular zone (SGZ) in dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, and the subventricular zone (SVZ). Major efforts are underway to discover the functional significance of new neurons in the adult brain. Several studies have indicated a relationship exists between newborn hippoca
A raised awareness around climate change has been followed by different initiatives and targets being set around the world to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Pressure is not only being placed on international and national bodies but also on local communities, industries, businesses and even individual households. The most prominent international action is the funding of the United Nations Frame
Den 1 december 2025 trädde nya straffbestämmelser i kraft i svensk rätt som kriminaliserar oskuldskontroller, oskuldsintyg och oskuldsingrepp. Reformen har motiverats som ett led i arbetet mot hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck som syftar till att stärka skyddet för kvinnor i hedersbaserade kontexter. Samtidigt väcker kriminaliseringen grundläggande frågor om straffrättens funktion och gränser vid On 1 December 2025, new criminal provisions came into force in Swedish law criminalizing virginity tests, virginity certificates, and virginity procedures. The reform has been justified as part of the efforts against honour-related violence and oppression that aim to strengthen the protection of women in honour-based contexts. At the same time, the criminalization raises fundamental questions abou
Climate change is a reality, with no indication of slowing down or reversing. Climate change causes extreme weather to occur more intensely and frequently. This poses a significant threat to critical infrastructures, which must adapt to withstand the new conditions they are increasingly exposed to. Climate change adaptation are measures which have the purpose to lessen the negative effects of clim
As artificial intelligence (AI) develops, it is applied in an increasing number of fields of society. One of the uses to which AI is put today is in real-time remote biometric identification technology (RBI). RBI refers to automated processes used to identify an individual in a group of others by analysing and quantifying their characteristics. The identification is conducted from afar, often with
