Construction projects affect the community in both positive and negative ways. Positive effects are, for instance, better communications, better housing, and a higher standard of living. However, construction projects inevitably bring with them deterioration and changes on the local plane, at the site of the construction project. Thus, in construction projects, many different and sometimes controv

'Sustainability' is an emerging issue that product development engineers must engage with to remain relevant, competitive and, most importantly, responsible. Yet, on examining the term 'sustainable', a plethora of definitions emerges, many of which are contradictory and confusing. This confusion and a general lack of understanding means that sustainability often gets relegated to an afterthought o

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a neutron research facility under construction in southern Sweden. The facility will produce a wide range of radionuclides including 148Gd, 187W, 172Hf, 182Ta and 178nHf that could be released into the environment in an accident scenario. Detection limits for these contaminants in soil were estimated to be in the mg k-1 range for ICP-MS and <3 Bq per 200 ml

Lokshtanov, Marx, and Saurabh SODA 2011 proved that there is no (k-epsilon)^pw(G)poly(n) time algorithm for deciding if an n-vertex graph G with pathwidth pw admits a proper vertex coloring with k colors unless the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH) is false, for any constant epsilon>0. We show here that nevertheless, when k>lfloor Delta/2 rfloor + 1, where Delta is the maximum degree in th

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a neutron research facility under construction in southern Sweden. The facility will produce a wide range ofradionuclides that could be released into the environment. Some radionuclides are of particular concern such as the rare earth gadolinium-148. In this article, the local environment was investigated in terms of food production and rare earth element co

Entreprenadavtal ingås ofta efter upphandling. I utförandeentreprenader betyder det att beställaren har ansvar för att projektera och tillhandahålla entreprenörer ett utförligt förfrågningsunderlag. Detta förfrågningsunderlag avgör omfattningen av kontraktsarbetena och ligger till grund för entreprenörens kalkyl. Vid upphandlingsförfarandet är det viktigt att anbuden är jämförbara. En förutsättninConstruction contracts are often entered into after a procurement process. In construction contracts, this means that the purchaser is responsible for designing and providing the contractor with detailed tender documents. The tender documents form the basis for the contractor's cost estimate and the scope of the construction work. During the procurement process, it is crucial that the submitte

BACKGROUND: Sport participation is associated with a risk of sports-related injuries and illnesses, and Paralympic athletes' additional medical issues can be a challenge to health care providers and medical staff. However, few prospective studies have assessed sports-related injuries and illnesses in Paralympic sport (SRIIPS) over time. Advances in mobile phone technology and networking systems of

BACKGROUND: Maternal smoking during pregnancy has repeatedly been associated with decreased sperm counts in sons. Nevertheless, our team recently detected a lower total sperm count in the sons of smoking fathers as compared to sons of non-smoking fathers. Since paternal and maternal tobacco smoking often coincide, it is difficult to discriminate whether effects are mediated paternally or maternall

Aims: Chronic left atrial enlargement (LAE) increases the risk of atrial fibrillation. Electrocardiogram (ECG) criteria might provide a means to diagnose LAE and identify patients at risk; however, current criteria perform poorly. We seek to characterize the potentially differential effects of atrial dilation vs. hypertrophy on the ECG P-wave. Methods and results: We predict effects on the P-wave

I ett försök att kunna straffa brott med rasistiska motiv hårdare infördes den s.k. straffskärpningsregeln, i 29 kap. 2 § 7 p. BrB under 1990-talet. Den ger domstolen möjligheten att skärpa straffet för ett brott, om motivet varit helt eller delvis hatiskt. Lagstiftaren har infört regeln för att skapa ett mer enhetligt och frekvent beaktande av hatmotiv, samtidigt som den ska fungera som ett förläIn an attempt to enable to punish crimes with racist motives the so called punishment harshening rule was added to the Penal Code during the 1990s. It gives the court the opportunity to harshen the punishment for a crime, if the perpetrator have had a hateful motive, competely or partially. The rule is legislated to create a more uniform and frequent consideration of hateful motives throughout the

Ett förändrat klimat som en funktion av den pågående globala uppvärmningen kan i Sverige komma att leda till en ökning av naturkatastrofer i form av bland annat skred. Längs Norsälven i Värmland har det vid flera tidigare tillfällen inträffat skred och området har nu valts ut av Statens Geotekniska Institut (SGI) för att under 2013-2014 användas som ett pilotprojekt inom ett regeringsuppdrag för sThe oncoming climate change due to the progressing global warming may in Sweden lead to an increase in natural disasters, among other e.g. in the form of landslides. Alongside the river Norsälven in Värmland there has on several occasions occurred landslides and this area has now been selected by the Swedish Geotechnical Institute (SGI) to be used during the period 2013-2014 for a pilot project fo

European State Aid Law is rapidly becoming one of the most important area of law within the European Union. Since the beginning of 1970 the Commission and the Court have had to deal with more and more State Aid cases as it grew in correspondence with its growth. There has not been an extensive work done on State Aid until this Millennium with the works of Kelyn Bacon and Mark Heidenhain right up t

The purpose of this work is to investigate if Miljöbyggnad certification works well for a building company in different regions of Sweden, or if a new or revised working method needs to be developed. To achieve the purpose, the author bases the study from a couple of interviews. The conclusion of the study showed that the Miljöbyggnad certification is rarely required at the Swedish building comp

I en värld där klimathot och resursbrist har växt fram till ett allt större problem på världsledarnas agenda har vikten av hållbar utveckling identifierats som en nyckelfråga i vägen mot en bättre framtid. En metod för detta är industriell symbios, som innebär att olika företag och organisationer gemensamt utnyttjar energi, nyttigheter, material eller service, för att på ett innovativt sätt skapa In a world where climate change and resource scarcity have grown to some of the main issues on the world leaders’ agenda the importance of sustainable development has been identified as a key challenge in the path towards a better future. One method for this is industrial symbiosis, where different entities collaborate over energy, utilities, materials or services to create value and lower cost an

Som följd av klimatförändringar kommer klimatanpassningsåtgärder att bli nödvändiga för att skydda mot effekterna av det förändrade klimatet. Det förändrade klimatet kommer innebära att risken för översvämningar och erosion ökar längs med Sveriges kuster, sjöar och vattendrag. Vem det är som bär ansvaret för att se till att dessa klimatanpassningsåtgärder kommer till stånd råder det en osäkerhet kAs a result of climate change, our society will need to start to adapt to the changing conditions. With these changes the risk of floods, races, spills and erosion along the coasts, lakes and streams of Sweden will increase. The need to take action to counteract these impending risks is strong but how is going to take responsibility for these actions? The purpose of the report is to investigate th

Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda umgängessabotage i relation till barnets bästa. Ämnet är aktuellt då antalet vårdnadstvister ökar. Dessutom finns det behov av att utreda frågan då barn i större utsträckning ses som individer med egna rättigheter och intressen. En sådan utveckling kan ses utifrån ändringen i FB år 2006 samt inkorporeringen av barnkonventionen. Enligt 6 kap. 2 a § FB ska baThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate visitation interference in relation to the child’s best interests. The topic is relevant as the number of custody disputes in Sweden has increased. In addition, there is a need to investigate the question because children are more widely regarded as individuals with their own rights and interests. Such development can be seen from the change in FB in 20

The digital era has mercilessly affected the media landscape by changing the way information and news are disseminated and consumed. This has led to an increased need to move activities online and an outdated business model among newspapers. The Swedish newspaper industry has so far struggled to do business in the digital world. Hence, the need for business model innovation is greater than ever. I

Skatterättslig företrädaransvar innebär att en företrädare för ett bolag blir solidariskt betalningsansvarig med bolaget för dess obetalda skatter. När Skatteverket upptäcker obetalda skatter hos bolag och anser att företrädaren har agerat uppsåtligen eller grovt oaktsamt ansöker de om företrädaransvar hos förvaltningsrätten. Företrädaren kan sedan bli befriad från betalningsansvaret om särskilda Liability of a representative within the area of tax law means that a representative of a legal entity becomes jointly liable with the company for the company's unpaid taxes. When the Swedish Tax Agency discovers such an unpaid tax, they apply for liability of a representative at the administrative court if they consider that the representative has acted intentionally or grossly negligently.
