Asfaltsbruk har stor påverkan på asfaltens egenskaper. Under senare tid har många stu- dier genomförts med syfte att utreda hur asfaltsbruk kan modifieras f ̈or att förbättra egenskaperna hos den slutgiltiga asfaltskroppen. Användandet av tillsatser vid as- falttillverkning används idag i stor utsträckning, varför det är intressant att utreda huruvida tillsatserna bidrar till efterfrågade egenskap
Kiruna, the northernmost city in the sub-arctics of Sweden, is currently witnessing an unprecedented deformation and reformation of the urban form due to the ongoing erosion of the land mass. This has made it necessary to move the city centre around 3 kilometres to the east. Due to the deformation timeline, it has opened up new possibilities of expanding the city further towards the north-east and
Background In a world where the rate of technological change is constantly accelerating, it is getting more and more important for companies to adopt new technologies and processes to stay competitive. Most recently, the concept of Industry 4.0 has emerged as the newest technological paradigm within industrial management and has its roots in the German government’s technological strategy. On a hig
This thesis set out to explain the emergence of production units that favour harsh working conditions in the garment industry of Athens. A neo-Marxist political economic approach was used in order to trace the causes of this emergence over the last fifty years and explain the transitional period from Fordism to flexible regimes of accumulation. The hollowing out of the Welfare State in favour of N
Miljöföroreningar grundar sig från industriutsläpp till luft, mark och vatten. Detta har lett till att många områden idag är förorenade av bland annat tungmetaller, petroleumkolväten och PAH. Cirka 86.000 förorenade områden har identifierats runt om i Sverige. Identifiering av förorenade områden möjliggör inventering och riskklassning. För inventering och riskklassning togs därför metodiken om inv
Bedrägerier genom social manipulation har under de senaste åren ökat markant och medför betydande förluster för bankkunder. Lag (2010:751) om betaltjänster (betaltjänstlagen) förutsätter att en transaktion är obehörig för att huvudregeln i 5 a kap. 1 § om återställande ska anses tillämplig, och kunden har möjlighet att få tillbaka det förlorade beloppet. Enligt praxis från Allmänna reklamationsnämBank fraud based on social engineering, where victims are persuaded to authorise the payment themselves, has risen sharply in recent years, causing substantial losses for customers. Under the Swedish Payment Services Act (2010:751), the restitution rule in Chapter 5a Section 1 applies only where the payment is regarded as an unauthorised transaction. Current practice of the Swedish National Board
The aim of this thesis is to explain which ideas have been at work when it comes to Malmö municipality’s integration policy. Furthermore I aim to see how their integration ideas are made into real actions taken by the municipality. With theories on the subjects of integration, multiculturalism, recognition, justice and equality I aim to explain the choices of action taken by Malmö municipality. Th
The ecological conditions show synchronous differences between southern and northern Sweden, due to the delayed immigration of flora and fauna in such a long, narrow country. One of the first forest animals to immigrate was the elk. It was also among the first to disappear from southern Sweden. Mattock-heads made from elk antlers have been found in both southern and northern Sweden. In the south,
Two schematic modes of political mobilization of the electorate, and patterns of patronage, have been historically common in Indian politics; indirect vertical mobilization and broad horizontal mobilization. This thesis examines the impact of these modes of mobilization on socioeconomic development among the larger states of India. It also attempts to put this impact in relation to other factors.
The transition from a planned economy to a market economy was initiated in Russia in the beginning of the 90s. The three components: privatization, liberalization and stabilization constitute the trinity of the transition theory. This thesis has its focus on the privatization, that also can be referred to as a piratization of Russia. The purpose of the thesis is to explain what went wrong with the
This paper focuses on the employers’ responsibility as described in the 11th section in the Employment (co-determination in the workplace) Act of 1976. The questions asked are to determine whether the law in the 11th section is followed in real life and if the consequences for breaking the law are a deciding factor. This paper summarizes the law as it is interpreted today and in what situations it
The purpose of this paper is to investigate if a dynamic investment strategy on the Swedish asset market can accomplish better returns then a static investment strategy. The dynamic investment strategy is created by incorporating business cycle predictors and firm-level variables to predict future stock returns. The predictive regression is calculated wih 60 months of observation (1999 01-2005 12)
A seller f.o.b. performs his obligation by putting the goods which conform with the contract onboard the ship at his expense. The general rule in f.o.b. contracts is that risk passes on shipment and according to the traditional view, this is made when the goods cross the ship's rail. The seller in c.i.f. contract performs his obligation by tender the proper documents i.e. a bill of lading, a p
The increased possibilities for geographical separation of the production process have given rise to a growing interest for trade in intermediate goods in the international trade literature. Thanks to trade in parts and components, but also in services and other immaterial products, developing countries have been able to enter the global trade scene to a greater extent than before. This paper anal
In this study the transitional justice strategies implemented in Kenya are analysed from the perspective of transitional justice. Kenya is currently undergoing a transition process in which measures have been implemented in order to address past human rights violations. This includes an official inquiry, a truth commission, and criminal investigations. According to the theory of ”hijacked justice”
Middle-Upper Ordovician strata are well exposed along the Kyrkbäcken rivulet in the Röstånga area of Scania. The investigated sequence dips about 40° towards the south, and comprises about 26 m of strata. It consists largely of siliceous limestones, mudstones, shales, and bentonites. The section is generally richly fossiliferous and has yielded bivalves, brachiopods, cephalopods, gastropods, grapt
