I svensk rätt saknas lagstiftning som reglerar kommersiella entreprenadavtal. Istället regleras sådana avtal genom särskilda standardavtal som utarbetats av branschföreträdare under flera decennier. AB 04 är ett av de mest centrala standardavtalen på den kommersiella entreprenadrättens område. Syftet med denna framställning är att utreda innebörden av garantiansvaret i AB 04 kap. 5 § 5. Enligt deThere is no legislation regulating construction contracts between commercial parties in Sweden. Instead, these types of contracts are governed by special standard-form contracts that have been developed by industry representatives over several decades. AB 04 (General conditions of contract for building and civil engineering works and building services) has gained a central position in the field of

Particle size can be an important variable to know in many different areas, be it smoke simulations, toxicity of materials or tests of face masks. Fires in a reduced oxygen environment can occur for ventilation-controlled fires or in areas with artificially lowered oxygen levels. The effects of lower concentrations of oxygen on heat release rate, smoke production etc. has been studied, but any eff

In recent years, mobile phones and GPS have become increasingly common tools for people working in elderly care. In the home care service, the mobile phone is now completely central to planning who will do what and when. The aim of the study was to investigate how home care staff shape their view of care work in the light of the mobile phones they use. The method chosen for this study was qualitiv

The aim of this study was to understand the experiences that social workers in the social services child protection unit has regarding their working conditions and how they reflect about their workload, staff turnovers, wellbeing in regards to the role of a social worker. Our qualitative study was based on seven interviews with social workers who worked in a middle-sized municipality in Skåne. Th

Social economy organisations are attributed a major role in solving societal and environmental problems and in implementing social innovations in Europe. These organisations are private entities running economic activities whose main purpose is to provide goods and services to their members or the community at large, with profits coming second. Nevertheless, these organisations are not suffici

Today, many cities around the world are looking for means to reduce their consumption-originated emissions and in this way improve their sustainability. Consequently, local governments are becoming increasingly interested in the potential of the ‘sharing economy’ (SE). By enabling the consumption of resources and services through sharing as opposed to purchasing goods for ownership, urban sharing

Background: The protein C anticoagulant system plays a key role in maintaining the hemostatic balance. Although several studies have identified thrombomodulin gene (THBD) variants among venous thromboembolism (VTE) patients, the role of THBD in relation to VTE in humans remains to be clarified. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the thrombotic risk of rare and common THBD variants in a larg

BACKGROUND: The risk of venous thromboembolism is high after total hip arthroplasty and could persist after hospital discharge. Our aim was to compare the use of rivaroxaban for extended thromboprophylaxis with short-term thromboprophylaxis with enoxaparin.METHODS: 2509 patients scheduled to undergo elective total hip arthroplasty were randomly assigned, stratified according to centre, with a comp

Predicting the next location of human mobility and its semantic information can support recommendations for location-based services and trajectory mining, such as human mobility pattern recognition and sequential anomaly detection. Previous studies have ignored the implicit correlation between location and spatiotemporal information thereby limiting the model performance in terms of location predi

Smallholder farmer-based rural social movements have been heralded as a promising source of political power with the potential to effectively promote sustainable trajectories of agricultural development in Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. However, the very early stages of rural social movement building remain understudied, including under what conditions such nascent efforts are likely to lead to ef

Introduction: Older people with intellectual disabilities (ID) have higher levels of comorbidities and overall healthcare utilization than the general population. A known healthcare need would imply high levels of planned healthcare, while unplanned healthcare could be a sign of unmet healthcare needs. Thus, to understand if older people with ID are receiving the healthcare they need, different ty

The Internet contains scientific information in increasing amounts. It is possible to obtain the latest information, and Web services can easily be maintained and updated. We have set up three Internet ser vices an immunodeficiencies. Immunodeficiency-related mutation information is available in immunodeficiency mutation databases (IDbases). Currently 14 registries are distributed, including infor

The purpose of this study is to analyze some aspects of the relationship between R&D and economic growth. In Chapter 2 we analyze how costly imitation may be incorporated into an R&D-driven endogenous growth model. In the model, optimizing firms allocate resources to innovation or imitation. Thus, the extent of technology diffusion through imitation is endogenously determined. Costs of im

1. IntroductionThe demand for efficient oil-water separation is driven by the tightening of discharge limits for e.g. produced water in the oil and gas industry, process water in the petrochemical industry and bilge water in the marine industry. The global produced water production alone is over 71 billion bbl/a – 8.4 billion m3/a [1]. Among the different technologies, particularly ultrafiltration

OBJECTIVES: To simplify the previously published Nottingham 12-year risk prediction model for knee osteoarthritis (OA) and examine whether it can be used to predict the 40-year risk of knee OA in young men.METHODS: We included 40 118 men aged 18 undergoing military conscription in Sweden 1969-70. Diagnostic OA codes were obtained from the Swedish National Patient Register 1987-2010. The original N

Although up to 30% of babies born with haemophilia do not have a family history of the disorder, the remaining 70% are born in families where haemophilia has been diagnosed. It has been estimated that for each male with haemophilia, there are five potential female carriers. Such women will benefit from knowledge of both their genetic (mutation present or not) and phenotype (level of plasma factor

Experimental studies on protein dynamics at atomic resolution by NMR-spectroscopy in solution require isolated 1H-X spin pairs. This is the default scenario in standard 1H-15N backbone experiments. Side chain dynamic experiments, which allow to study specific local processes like proton-transfer, or tautomerization, require isolated 1H-13C sites which must be produced by site-selective 13C labelin

Globally, freshwater ecosystems are warming at unprecedented rates and northern temperate lakes are simultaneously experiencing increased runoff of humic substances (brownification), with little known consequences for future conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. We employed an outdoor mesocosm experiment during spring and summer to investigate the combined effects of gradually in
