This Master’s thesis was done in collaboration with ABB Force Measurement and the task was to develop a product design concept of an electronic unit, used as a controller in ABB Force Measurement’s product systems. As part of the result a guide to be used when working with industrial design questions was also made. ABB Force Measurement develops measurement products mostly used by the rolling mil

Sammanfattning Sedan slutet av 1800-talet har en utveckling av det så kallade principalansvaret skett i Sverige. Principalansvaret innebär ansvar för annans vållande, vilket är ett undantag från den skadeståndsrättsliga huvudregeln att en skadevållare är ersättningsskyldig för den egenvållade skadan och ingenting annat. 1972 kom skadeståndslagen och principalansvaret kodifierades genom kap 3 § 1.

Research has shown that bicycling is a marginalised mode of transport in Sweden, especially in Sweden’s capital city Stockholm. This leads to the question, why that might be the case.

”Residents are refusing to pay until an effort is made to clean up, while authorities are refusing to remove refuse until residents pay”. This is the front-page headline of a prominent morning newspaper in Cape Town, South Africa that strikes to the core of what this research seeks to explore. For somewhere between this deadlock lurks a social phenomenon, the “culture of non-payment” borne as a re

Termen patologiskt rus är en äldre psykiatrisk diagnos som inte används idag inom rättspsykiatrin eftersom det saknas tillräckligt forskningsstöd för att tillståndet existerar.

Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur rekryteringsprocesser kan agera som en förebyggande process mot agentproblem. Metod: Via en kvalitativ forskningsmetod genomfördes en enkel fallstudie med hjälp av intervjuer, observationer och dokumentation. Åtta intervjuer och två observationer genomfördes. Data analyserades med en kombination av pattern-matching och grundad teori. Teoretiska perspektPurpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how recruitment processes can help prevent the emergence of agency problems. Method: Following a qualitative research design, a single case study was conducted using interviews, observations and documentation. Eight interviews and two observations were conducted. Data was analysed through a combination of pattern-matching and grounded theory.

The main goal of the Paris agreement is to hold global warming below 2 degrees Celsius. A goal which requires a rapid peak and decline of global emissions. With the adoption of the Paris agreement, countries submitted Nationally Determined Contributions making national climate legislation a key tool for how to reach the goal. While the response so far has failed to reduce global emissions, climate
