In modern batch plants, alarm floods overwhelming the operator is a common problem of ever increasing severity. As plant hardware increase in complexity and performance, measures such as downtime and meantime between failures, increase in importance and the need for a well-functioning exception handling routine therefore grows critical. In order to minimize downtime and hence boost production effi
Aim of this thesis is to analyze Dc-Dc converters by using the techniques of Linear Periodic Time varying (LTP) systems to estimate the amount of subharmonics injected in the load. Dc-Dc converters are used to transform a Dc input to a Dc output of different voltage. In this thesis we study in particular the so called "switch mode" converters. In this kind of devices the conversion is ob
Recent years intensive measures of land-based emissions have increased the share contributed from ships and other marine activities. The main problem here is the nitrogen oxides emitted from today's fuel-optimized diesel engines used by the majority of ships. ABB Fläkt Marine is one of the very few companies that provides a solution to emissions on nitrogen oxides. This is made with a techniqu

This essay estimates the trends in Income-Related Health Inequalities (IRHI) in 11 European countries between 2006 to 2013 and investigates the sensitivity of these trends with respect to different inequality measures. The motivation for this study is both empirically and theoretically driven. Empirically, there have been many studies aiming to quantify and explain IRHI but relatively few have inv
The European Union Emissions Trade System (EU ETS) is the central climate political tool for reduction of carbon dioxide emissions within the union, and is still the largest emissions trading system in the world ten years after the launch in 2005. One of the industry branches included in the system is the mineral branch: the production of cement, lime, glass, ceramics and mineral wool. These indus
Increased energy efficiency is a fundamental pillar to foster sustainable energy systems and a resource efficient economy. To that end, policies and measures to promote energy conservation and energy efficiency technologies are greatly needed in order to reduce or correct market and behavioural failures that prevent efficiency improvements, and resulting economic and environmental gains. To addres
Sustainability reporting has emerged as a common practice of 21st-century business. A sustainability report is a report published by an organization that presents the economic, environmental and social impacts caused by its activities. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a non-profit organization with the mission to promote the transition to a sustainable global economy by providing a framewo
Uppsatsen kommer behandla gränsdragningen mellan brotten våldtäkt mot barn samt sexuellt utnyttjande av barn. För att besvara frågeställningarna beskrivs aktuella bestämmelser i brottsbalkens 6 kapitel, dess tillkomst och motiv för att sedan undersöka hur domstolarna idag tillämpar den gällande rätten. Undersökningen har till syfte att granska om domstolarna idag följer lagstiftarens intentioner.
Syftet med denna framställning är att genom en rättsdogmatisk och rättssociologisk metod begrunda och skapa en bättre förståelse för lagstiftarens val att särbehandla unga lagöverträdare. Med gällande rätt, dess historiska bakgrund, straffets funktion och myndighetsbegreppet i åtanke har särbehandlingen diskuterats i förhållande till begreppet rättvisa. Vid femton års ålder inträder straffansvar
Av 16 kap 20 § LOU följer att en upphandlande myndighet som inte har följt bestämmelserna i nämnda lag ska ersätta därigenom uppkommen skada för en leverantör. Såväl deltagande anbudssökande som anbudsgivare inbegrips av rätten till skadestånd för de kostnader som dessa har haft för att förbereda anbud och i övrigt delta i en offentlig upphandling. Skadestånd förutsätter att den upphandlande myndiDamages Article of the Public Procurement Act stipulates that a contracting authority that has not complied with the provisions of the Act will replace the damage thereby caused to a supplier. Both participating candidates as well as tenderers are included the right to compensation for the costs they have had to prepare bids and otherwise participate in a public procurement procedure. Damages pres
During the last decades the production and consumption of chemicals has increased dramatically. We know that some chemicals are hazardous for humans and the environment but for most of them our knowledge is limited. Children are very sensitive to hazardous substances compared to adults because of their undeveloped bodies and different behavior. Due to lacking knowledge and regulation of chemicals

The existence of systems has been essential in bringing order and providing benefits and security for people throughout the course of history. However there are cases wherein people have difficulties in adopting or conforming to systems. The aim of this study is to understand how systems that intend to be open encounter the paradox of excluding people in the process. The Public Transportation Age
När parterna i en tvist kommit överens och reglerat sina mellanhavanden i ett förlikningsavtal kan de begära att domstolen stadfäster förlikningsöverenskommelsen genom dom. Förlikningsavtalet blir då exigibelt och vinner rättskraft. Avtalet kan reglera fler rättsförhållanden än vad den ursprungliga tvisten handlade om, och det finns inget hinder för domstolen att stadfästa förlikningsavtalet även When the parties to a dispute have come to an agreement and have settled their differences in a conciliation agreement, they can request that the court confirm the agreement by delivering judgement. The conciliation agreement then becomes executable and gains legal force. The agreement may regulate more legal matters than the original dispute concerned, and there is no impediment for the court to
