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

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

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

Den här uppsatsen utforskar möjligheten till miljömässigt motiverad intervention (vilket i uppsatsen är definierat som ekologisk intervention), med syfte att tvinga upphörande av annan stats miljöförstöring med global påverkan, och hur en sådan lösning skulle påverka det internationella klimatet politiskt och juridiskt. Uppsatsen utgår ifrån de bakomliggande miljörättsliga och folkrättsliga princi

*Summary: The bacterium Escherichia coli is a common host organism for recombinant protein production. A problem encountered is the accumulation of the by-product acetate, which tends to reduce growth and protein production (1). Formation of acetate can be avoided by a proper substrate feeding strategy, but most strategies require considerable process knowledge to work well. The main problem is th

Biogas production is growing and there is an increasing demand for upgraded bio- gas, to be used as vehicle fuel or injected to the natural gas grid. To enable the efficient use of biogas in these applications the gas must be upgraded, i.e. the carbon dioxide, which constitutes a large part of the raw biogas from the digester, must be separated from the methane. This report aims to evaluate the bi

BACKGROUND:The incidence of invasive disease caused by encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae type f (Hif) has increased in the post-H. influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine era. We previously annotated the first complete Hif genome from a clinical isolate (KR494) that caused septic shock and necrotizing myositis. Here, the full genome of Hif KR494 was compared to sequenced reference strains Hib 10810, cap

Water shortages across the globe have increased due to climate change among other factors with negative impacts expected at the river basin level. Anticipating these impacts will help experts act in a timely manner to avoid a future water crisis. As part of addressing the future water shortage impacts on the Togolese community, this paper assessed water security in the context of the global enviro

Comparing lexical transfer in second- and third language early vocabulary acquisition The present study compared 30 functional English monolinguals and 30 highly proficient (CEFR C1+) Swedish–English bilinguals. They acquired vocabulary in a pseudo-language derived from typologically unrelated Finnish. None of the participants had productive proficiency in Finnish although for societal reasons the

Background: Stick insects (Phasmatodea) have a high incidence of parthenogenesis and other alternative reproductive strategies, yet the genetic basis of reproduction is poorly understood. Phasmatodea includes nearly 3000 species, yet only the genome of Timema cristinae has been published to date. Clitarchus hookeri is a geographical parthenogenetic stick insect distributed across New Zealand. Sexu

This study compared the cytokine production of uroepithelial cell lines in response to gram-negative bacteria and inflammatory cytokines. Human kidney (A498) and bladder (J82) epithelial cell lines were stimulated with either Escherichia coli Hu734, interleukin 1α (IL-1α), or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Supernatant samples were removed, and the RNA was extracted from cells at 0, 2, 6, and

Tropical tree crops such as cacao and coffee are produced around the tropics in diverse, multistrata agroforests as well as monoculture plantations Box 16.1 and references therein). The smallholders cultivating these systems battle pests and diseases that differ regionally and change over time, but often take a significant part of their yield, and therefore their revenue. In these perennial system

Roma and Travellers (”resande”) have been present in Sweden for centuries. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, rural municipalities (kommuner) often adopted policies aimed to expel them from or to prevent them from entering the municipality. This is well established by previous research. What is less known is that another kind of territorial exclusion existed as well: that of collective violence

The Tamaulipas tragedy in 2010 proved a turning point for transit migration politics. This was one of the worst massacres on Mexican territory, in which 72 undocumented migrants, mostly from Central America, were kidnapped, tortured, and their dead bodies piled up in a ditch at a local ranch in the northern Mexican state. With this event, transit migrants became visible through their experiences o

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

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
