Upphandlingslagstiftningen är endast tillämplig på upphandlingsprocessen fram till och med att ett upphandlingskontrakt ingåtts mellan en upphandlande myndighet och en leverantör. Parterna har i praktiken dock inte möjlighet att helt fritt råda över sitt pågående upphandlingskontrakt. Upphandlingslagstiftningen kan ändå i vissa fall komma att tillämpas på ett pågående kontrakt om det sker ändringaThe public procurement rules are only applicable to the procurement process until the contracting authority and the contractor has entered into a public contract. Nevertheless the contracting parties are not able to determine their own ongoing contract. The public procurement rules may in some cases still be applied on an ongoing contract if changes are made to it. A change of contractor is a modi

Women have been regarded as a disadvantaged group in Nepal (Aoki & Pradhan, 2013), because of the limited opportunities in these areas, women residing in rural parts of Nepal such as, Kudari VDC in Jumla, are particularly vulnerable. The women in Jumla normally are involved in daily household jobs like cooking, cleaning, washing, feeding the cattle etc. The Maoist insurgency (about a 10 years

The notion of a subnational role conception is frequently absent in the literature of role conceptions within the European Union (EU), despite that the perspective of multilevel governance has acknowledged the importance of subnational actors within the governance process of the EU. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with members of the Swedish delegation to the Committee of the Regi

The large number of orphanages in Jinja, Uganda has promoted the widespread institutionalisation of children from poor families. Parents are left disempowered and have very few options but to sign over the rights of their children because NGOs in the region have largely prioritised orphanage care over other services. This paper critically analyses the failure of non-state actors in addressing the

Forskning har visat att sexuell aktivitet gynnar individens fysik, psyke och relationer (Cox, 2009). Det saknas bred forskning kring kvinnans sexualitet, sexuell aktivitet och sexuell tillfredställelse samt subjektivt sexuellt välbefinnande i Sverige. Det var 31 kvinnor, 18-35 år, från Malmö och Lund i Sverige som rekryterades. Utgångspunkten var att utreda om det fanns en samvariation mellan sexu

Människan har försökt att förklara beteenden genom att kategorisera personligheter i olika kombinationer för att få så mycket kontroll på vardagen som möjligt. På senare år har arbetsplatser börjat använda olika formaliserade metoder för att kunna kategorisera människor vid rekrytering, med syfte att matcha person till yrke och för att hitta rätt person till rätt position. Studiens syfte är att bSince the existence of human civilization, we have endeavored to understand and accept people's differences. One such way in which we have tried to explain human behavior is through classifying personalities into different categories. This has now evolved to become part of the recruitment processes as a tool to find the right person for the right position, with both positive and negative effec

The unique perspective offered by unoccupied aerial systems (UASs) has great potential for enhancing emergency and disaster response (EDR). Through a scoping exercise of research around the use of UASs for situational awareness and interviews with practitioners, this paper assesses the current benefits offered by UASs for situational awareness in EDR and identifies and discusses four areas of cons

Dynamic Shear Rheometer, DSR, blev central i samband med lanseringen av Superpave-metoden och är ett instrument som kan användas för att bedöma asfaltsegenskaper. Instrumentet kunde i ett tidigt skede av Superpave-metoden inte utföra mätningar vid låga temperaturer och fick för det ändamålet kompletteras med apparaten Bending Beam Rheometer, BBR. För att få en mer heltäckande översikt över bitumenThe Dynamic Shear Rheometer, DSR, became central in connection with the launch of the Superpave methodology and is an instrument that can be used to assess asphalt properties. The instrument could at an early stage of the Superpave methodology not perform measurements at low temperatures and had to be supplemented with the device Bending Beam Rheometer, BBR, for that purpose. To obtain a more comp

Det här är en systematisk litteraturöversikt som har prövat att besvara hur ögonskanning och angränsande teknologier i kombination med maskin- (n = 13 studier) och djupinlärning (n = 6 studier), var för sig, kan användas för att diagnostisera autismspektrumstörning (AST). Inkluderade artiklar har varit publicerade i vetenskapligt granskade journaler. De flesta studierna har haft under 100 deltagar

This study examines the memory of the Lebanese civil war, and the sense of belonging to contemporary Lebanon by interviewing Lebanese immigrants residing in Sweden. The study was conducted through semi-structured interviews with Lebanese who have personal experiences and interests in the war. The interviews have been holistically analysed and the study concludes that respondents’ discourses surrou

Förstärkt verklighet (AR), augmented reality på engelska, har på sistone fått stor uppmärksamhet från kända applikationer som Pokémon Go och Snapchat. AR har dessutom blivit alltmer populärt som dels mätverktyg men också för att instruera och hjälpa användare som jobbar med komplexa arbetsuppgifter. Huvud-burna AR-glasögon kan dessutom ha stor potential att assistera människor vars händer är upptaAugmented Reality (AR) has lately gained a lot of momentum with popular applications such as Pokémon Go and Snapchat. Also, AR is becoming increasingly popular as a supportive tool for measuring objects and instructing users who are struggling with complex tasks. Moreover, head-worn AR glasses can have the potential of assisting people who needs their hands elsewhere or are unable to use their han

As the Coronavirus started to spread around the world in 2020, governments had to respond. Lockdowns and other restrictions were implemented to minimize the virus spread and people falling ill from COVID-19. In the United Kingdom, a lockdown was enforced from March to June 2020 whereafter restrictions eased, even though social distancing and other measurement still remained. There have been great

Förenta Nationernas fredsbevarande operationer har under nästan två decennier besvärats av anklagelser om sexuellt utnyttjande av och sexuella övergrepp på civilbefolkningar. Flera rapporter visar inte bara att organisationens fredsbevarande styrkor begår dessa brott mot just de människor de fått i uppdrag att beskydda, utan också att de undgår ansvar och straff. Denna uppsats undersöker och utvärUnited Nations peacekeeping operations have, for the better part of two decades, been plagued by allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse of local civilian populations. Several reports indicate not only that peacekeepers exploit and abuse the very people they were sent to protect, but also that these crimes routinely go unpunished. This thesis examines and evaluates the different methods of ho

The World Health Organization has reported around 50 million people worldwide suffer from epilepsy. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder caused by abnormal brain activity that leads to spontaneous seizures. The complications that arise with epilepsy can heavily limit the quality of life for those affected and can lead to death. The seizures that occur are due to an imbalance of hyper excitatory neu

Lay judges are used in the Swedish courts to attain a democratic representation of judges, but the system has received criticism for giving weight to political affiliation in a role that ought to be unpolitical. The aim of this study is to investigate politicization of the laymen system through lay judges’ own perspectives of their roles, and their views of the structure of the lay judge system. H

Technology has revolutionized various industries, including the mobility sector. While many new mobility services have entered the market, the shift towards a more digitalised environment fostered the digital divide, making various mobility services more accessible for those that are tech-savvy. Especially elderly people however often face significant challenges adapting to new technologies. So fa

Syntetisera molekyler kan beskrivas som att bygga lego. Anvisningar följs för att gå från en legobit till exempelvis ett lego hus. Bit efter bit adderas för att nå den önskade produkten. Syntetisera molekyler fungerar på liknande sätt, molekyler läggs ihop för att bilda en större molekyl. I kemivärlden går det inte alltid att bara addera molekyler för att nå den önskade produkten.
