Utgångspunkten i en totalentreprenad är att beställaren i förfrågningsunderlaget ska föreskriva ett funktionskrav, vilket entreprenören genom projekterade tekniska lösningar ska förverkliga. Inte sällan innehåller dock beställarens förfrågningsunderlag mer långtgående krav i form av egna tekniska lösningar eller detaljer för en sådan teknisk lösning. Detta innebär att beställaren redan har utfört The starting point in a design-build contract is that the client must prescribe a functional requirement in the tender documents, which the contractor must realize through designed technical solutions. However, it is not uncommon for the client's tender documents to contain more far-reaching requirements in the form of their own technical solutions or details of such a technical solution. This

Sedan införandet av EU:s GMO‑lagstiftning år 2001 har användningen av nya genomiska tekniker (NGT) inom genmodifiering av växter ökat markant inom EU. NGT:er skiljer sig från vedertagna genomiska tekniker genom att de utför mer precisa förändringar i en organisms genom. Uppsatsens fokus ligger på växter som framställts med NGT:erna riktad mutagenes, cisgenes och intragenes. Cisgenes och intragenesSince the introduction of the GMO-legislation in 2001, the EU has seen an increased use of new genomic techniques (NGTs) in the field of plant gene modification. NGTs differ from established genomic techniques by performing more precise changes in an organism’s genome. The thesis focuses on plants produced with the NGTs targeted mutagenesis, cisgenesis and intragenesis. Cisgenesis and intragenesis

In 2018, the Indian state of Kerala experienced devastating floods that killed 433 people and displaced 1.4 million. The floods are becoming more frequent since then due to climate change. In this research, we compared international frameworks on health and disaster with national and state documents. We used content analysis and applied Walt and Gilson's framework of health policy analysis to

Resolutioner är per definition icke-bindande rekommendationer, men anses i vissa fall kunna få ett normativt värde, genom att bli relevant för påvisandet av en sedvanerättslig regels existens eller begynnande opinio juris. Faktorer som blir betydelsefulla för om en resolution ska anses få en sådan funktion är bland annat graden av stöd och upprepningen av resolutioner som ger uttryck för en regel.Resolutions are, by definition, non-binding recommendations, but are consi- dered in some cases to have a normative value, by becoming relevant for ascertaining the existence of a customary rule of international law or deve- loping opinion juris. Factors for determining whether a resolution has such a function includes the degree of support and repetition of the resolutions ex- pressing the rule.

5-Keto-D-gluconic acid (5-KGA) is a valuable compound that has a wide range of applications in the chemical and food industries and is commonly used as a precursor for manufacturing tartaric acid (TA). Industrial production of 5-KGA through chemical approaches was practiced in the early 1920’s and was dropped immediately due to several drawbacks because of its complicated process that resulted in

En effektivare överprövning av offentlig upphandling har under en längre tid varit en fråga som behandlats både i det svenska rättsväsendet och i EU. Problemet med överprövningsprocessen har främst varit att de varit att det har tagit för lång tid och resulterat till att upphandlingar har behövt göras om. Som lösning på denna problematik har frågan om preklusionsfrister behandlats i bland annat SA more effective process for review of public procurement has been a subject of discussion, both in Sweden and in the EU. The problem with the review process has mainly been that it has taken too long and has resulted in many public procurement processes having to start over. As a solution the possibility of preclusion in the public procurement process has been studied in the report SOU 2015:12 an

Enligt aktiebolagslagen (ABL) har en ägare till mer än 90 % av aktierna i ett aktiebolag rätt att påkalla tvångsinlösen av resterande så kallade minoritetsaktier. Tvister med anledning av ett sådant tvångsinlösensförfarande ska med grund i tvingande bestämmelser i ABL avgöras genom skiljeförfarande. I uppsatsen görs en kritisk analys av sådana tvångsinlösenförfaranden utifrån den enskilde minoriteAccording to the Swedish Companies Act (ABL), an owner holding more than 90% of the shares in another limited company has the right to demand compulsory redemption of the remaining minority shares. Disputes arising from such procedures must be resolved through arbitration. This thesis constitutes a critical investigation of such compulsory redemption procedures from the perspective of the individu

Kan växtbaserad yoghurt med tillsatta probiotiska bakterier gynna tarmfloran? Tarmfloran har kopplats till både hälsa och sjukdom, och genom att äta probiotiska bakterier hoppas man kunna gynna de goda bakterierna i tarmen, som får oss att må bättre. I den här undersökningen har en växtbaserad och en mjölkbaserad yoghurt med tillsatta probiotiska bakterier ätits i 4 veckor och deras effekt på taIn recent years, the development of meat-and dairy analogues has increased to meet demands from consumers, as well as serving as environmentally beneficial alternatives to meat and dairy. While traditional plant-based diets based on whole-foods have been shown to lead to beneficial health effects, the new analogues differ vastly from the ingredients of a whole foods, plant-based diet and the effec

RedNote (Xiaohongshu) is one of the most influential women-centered platforms in China. Due to its highly feminized features, female users curate and share contents related to their body image, reflecting the prevailing representations of Chinese aesthetic ideals and normative femininity. This thesis examines Gao-Da-Zhuang (tall, large-sized and strong/muscular) women’s bodily self-representation

This thesis compares how Sweden and Finland’s contrasting exchange rate regimes shaped their export sector performance during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. While both are small, open Nordic economies, Sweden maintained a floating currency and independent monetary policy, whereas Finland adopted the euro and ceded monetary control to the European Central Bank. The study evaluates export revenue

This study explores a novel approach to utilizing waste biomass for syngas production, with the potential for carbon sequestration. An integrated biomass conversion process combining pyrolysis, CO2 reforming, and MILD combustion is proposed. In the proposed system, the bio-oil obtained from pyrolysis can be used in a reforming step, converting it into syngas with a suitable H2/CO ratio for chemica

This study explores how listeners use verb constructions to describe everyday sounds. It considers (i) how the verb constructions provide Gestalt to events in the form of activities, processes and states, and (ii) how the constructions correspond to different aspects of a soundscape (sound sources, acoustic properties, and listener reactions). We found that verb constructions primarily describe so

Scholte wave surveys were conducted at both the laboratory and field scales to evaluate the reliability of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) with a fiber-optic cable resting on top of unconsolidated sedimentary deposits to determine the distribution of S-wave velocity underneath. Laboratory measurements performed in a controlled environment at the Deltares Laboratory facility demonstrated that DA

The global climate change governance landscape is rapidly evolving. Non-state actors and institutions increasingly challenge the formal authority of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), operating in parallel with its intergovernmental processes. In particular, multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) carry out several policy functions, becoming established actors within

Nepal ligger i ett av världens mest jordbävningsutsatta områden, och jordbävningen i Gorkha 2015 visade tydligt hur sårbara murverksbyggnader utan ingenjörsmässig dimensionering kan vara. I återuppbyggnadsarbetet har interlocking Compressed Sta- bilised Earth Blocks (CSEB) lyfts fram som ett möjligt alternativ till traditionellt murverk av bränt lertegel. Detta eftersom systemet både kan vara mer Nepal is located in one of the most seismically active regions in the world, and the 2015 Gorkha earthquake clearly demonstrated the vulnerability of non-engineered masonry buildings. In the reconstruction efforts following the earthquake, interlocking Com- pressed Stabilised Earth Blocks (CSEB) have been highlighted as a potentially more seismically robust and at the same time more sustainable al

Regime change is considered essential for sustainability transitions. An important source of regime change is pressure from alternative innovations developed in niches and the actors involved. Governments often play an important role in such niche-regime interactions and affect whether, and how, this results in regime change. However, an overview of the various roles governments can play with resp

An innovative coaxial dual-swirl combustor was developed to address the challenges of combustion instability and NOx emissions inherent to ammonia combustion. The combustor employs an inner swirler supplying a premixed ammonia/air stream and an outer swirler generating a premixed methane/air flame that stabilizes the inner ammonia flame. Combined large-eddy simulations (LES) and planar laser-induc

We study a class of dynamical multi-commodity flows in transportation networks. These are modeled as dynamical systems describing the evolution of the densities of a number of different commodities across the cells of a transportation network. Each cell is characterized by commodity-specific increasing demand functions returning the maximum outflow of each commodity from the cell as a function of

Combinatorial optimization is a powerful way to solve complex problems, like planning, scheduling, or hardware verification, by expressing the problem in a mathematical form using discrete variables that can be solved by general solvers. Due to major advances in algorithms for solving combinatorial optimization problems, these solvers can tackle real-world challenges efficiently. However, as solve

The decay properties of an above-threshold resonance in core-ionized water, which is difficult to. identify with usual spectroscopic methods, have been analyzed by resonant Auger spectroscopy. The resonance is. shown to correspond to a doubly excited neutral state embedded in the O 1s ionization continuum. The main, result of the experiments is the assessment on the dissociative nature of the inte
