Traditionell produktutveckling har en tendens att förlita sig på fysiska prototyper och produkttester för att kunna presentera koncept, förbättra design och kalibrera tillverkningsinställningar. Detta projekt undersöker och utvärderar en virtualisering av prototypframtagning och testning av en plastprodukt för att se om det kan resultera i en snabbare produktframtagning och besparingar av utveckliTraditional product development tends to heavily rely on physical prototyping and testing to present concepts, improve design, and calibrate manufacturing settings. This project aims to explore and evaluate a virtualization of prototype development and testing of a plastic product to evaluate if it results in a faster product development process and savings in development costs, as well as a more

The conflict between the Sami people on one hand and the majority of Sweden on the other has a long history, and one of the main topics in this conflict concerns the use of territory in the parts of Sweden where the Sami people conduct reindeer herding. In 2009 a small reindeer herding community called Girjas sued the Swedish government as they considered themselves being entitled to have the exc

In the stitches of our clothes one can often find traces of child labour. The garment industry in Bangladesh is the country’s largest export sector. It is also a sector where sever human rights violations take place on a daily basis in relation to child labour. Accidents in textile factories in the country causing numerous deaths relatively recently brought the situation of working conditions to t

Heterologous overexpression of proteins signifies that the encoding gene of a protein in one organism is expressed in another host organism that normally does not have that gene in its genome. In basic biochemical research, this is an important method for studying various protein functions such as activity and interactions in biological processes, as well as obtaining sufficient amounts to determi

ABSTRACT AND INTRODUCTION Theories of text and discourse have long assumed the existence of semantic objects called discourse referents, "things being talked about and referred to by pronouns and definite noun phrases"(cf. e.g. Karttunen (1976), Sigurd (1982), Sidner (1983)). Such referents are also often alluded to in sentence grammars, above all in theories of pronominalization and control -ofte

Jordbruk utgör den största ekonomiska sektorn och har den högsta sysselsättningsgraden i Tchad. Samtidigt så genomgår den hastiga förändringar på grund av populationsökning, institutionella reformer, konflikter i grannländerna, ökande globaliserade handelsnätverk, samt miljöförändringar. Men trots dess betydelse för lokala uppehällen och ekonomisk tillväxt, så är de specifika förändringsmönstrena Agriculture constitutes the largest economic sector and professional occupation in Chad, and is undergoing rapid changes due to processes of population increase, institutional reforms, conflicts in neighbouring countries, increasingly globalized trade networks, and environmental changes. But despite their importance for livelihoods and economic growth, the specific patterns and drivers of change i

Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) constitute a crucial vehicle in delivering infrastructure. In the transport sector the primary project sponsors are construction companies, which over the last few decades have transformed to strong international actors.

The aim of this study was to investigate the strategies foreign-born women choose to use in order to succeed in establishing themselves in the labor market in their new home country and to illustrate the reasoning of foreign-born women about negative and positive experiences in their situation. Foreign-born women are often faced with unemployment to a greater extent than foreign-born men and nativ

Europeiska kommissionen har sedan en tid tillbaka upplevt brister i EU:s kontroll av företagskoncentrationer. Detta eftersom EU:s koncentrationsförordning inte anses fånga alla potentiellt konkurrensrättsligt problematiska företagsförvärv. Diskussionerna har gällt både förordningens kriterier för "unionsdimension", alltså tröskelvärdena för omsättning, och "koncentration", allt

Staters immunitet i fall som rör grova kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter har blivit flitigt omdiskuterad i den folkrättsliga debatten, och har gett upphov till motstridiga domar bland olika nationella domstolar. Medan grova kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter utgör brott mot tvingande folkrättsliga regler, jus cogens, från vilka inga avsteg är tillåtna, så utgör reglerna om statsimmunitet ett

Systembolaget AB har idag monopol på detaljhandeln av alkoholen i Sverige sedan ungefär 60 år tillbaka. Alkoholen har givits en särställning på den annars öppna marknaden på grund av samhällsintresset att hålla ned alkoholkonsumtionen. Syftet med denna uppsats var att genomlysa det svenska alkoholmonopolets reglering och dess bakomliggande intressen. Regleringen omfattar både svensk rätt och EU-
