Arbetets syfte är att belysa hur en effektiv överlämning av stora projekt från entreprenad till drift och underhåll går till. Syftet är också att undersöka vilka nyckelfaktorer som skapar framgång och motgång i denna fas av projektet Frågeställning i studien är: Hur görs en effektiv överlämning av ett stort projekt? Vilka faktorer skapar framgång tillika motgång för projektets överlämning? Varför
The objective of this study is to describe and analyze the child welfare officers’ understanding of their work with the young offenders and how they explain and handle their double assignment (help vs. control). Three main questions in this study are following: 1. Which goals, motives and methods do child welfare officers have in their work with the young offenders? 2. What makes a child a young
Våld mot kvinnor är ett könsbaserat hatbrott. Våldsutövandet sker mot dem just för att de är kvinnor. Mest förekommande är våldet från män de har eller haft en nära relation med. Våldet skapar fysiska och psykiska påfrestningar för utsatta kvinnor. Samhället behöver med gemensam kraft få ett slut på våldet. Kvinnorna i sin tur måste veta vilka skyddsåtgärder som finns att tillgå när de riskerar el
Within the climate justice movement there is a clear tendency in the last years towards actions of civil disobedience. The Red Lines protest in Paris during COP21 was meant to be one of the main events of the movement in 2015. However, the Paris attacks on November 13 and the subsequent state of emergency drastically changed the conditions for political protests. This thesis provides an analysis o
Potatoes Solanum tuberosum, L are among the most consumed crop type by millions of people around the world. It has high amount of starch content and it is known to be a good source of potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C and fiber. There are more than 4000 varieties of potatoes. Salome, Ditta and Asterix cultivars are among well-known potatoes in the Swedish market. In recent years the consumption of
In line with the Capitalocene narrative, this thesis argues how globally prevailing social* and environmental injustices (including ecological injustices) are driven by systemic capitalist patterns of thinking. In order to enhance social* and environmental justice, it seems thus essential to tackle these. However, there does not yet exist an analytical framework providing a comprehensive overview
In the quest to find a ‘least cost solution’ for climate change mitigation that do not interfere with business-as-usual, carbon trading and PES schemes were introduced. PES schemes with carbon forestry projects are implemented in the Global South as a win-win-win tool for climate change mitigation and sustainable development. In this thesis, the Ugandan carbon forestry project Trees for Global Ben
The aim of this study was to examine if the radial swelling of wood correlated with the density of the wood. The aim was also to investigate whether the area of the lumen changed from dry to water-saturated state for wood with different densities. Two different experiments were performed. In the first experiment a light microscope was used to examine different species of wood. The wood samples wer
Cancer is one of today’s most common causes of human mortality. For long, chemotherapeutics has been a conventional treatment of the disease, but due to its low precision and high frequency of side effects, this treatment has been highly debated. Nanosized particles, so called nanoparticles (NPs), have emerged as a promising tool for cancer treatment, due to their ability of selectively reaching t
Trots att bemanningsbranschens utveckling på arbetsmarknaden har ökat de senaste åren har forskningen och kunskapen om bemanningsanställda inte ökat i samma takt. Den psykosociala arbetsmiljön har förändrats de senaste decennierna i och med framväxten av alternativa anställningar. Både den fysiska och psykosociala arbetsmiljön har betonats som viktig för personers hälsa och välbefinnande. I arbetsThe development of temporary agencys on the labormarket has been increasing over the past years, despite of this the research and knowledge about temporary workers has not increased in the same pace. The psychosocial environment has changed the past decades with the emergence of alternative empolyments. The importance of the physical and the psychosocial work environment has been emphasized for th
Cofactors are essential for the growth of bacterial pathogens also inside a human host and one source of cofactors are proteins in blood. Pathogens can use surface proteins to bind and extract cofactors from these blood proteins. Here, using protein modeling of these proteins in complex with bacterial protein combined with bacterial growth assays with blood proteins from different species, we demo
The automotive industry, a matured and vital global sector, is currently facing the biggest upheaval so far in the necessity to emancipate itself from fossil fuels. This moment before technical revolution is used for a detailed comparison of innovative performance of the sector in the last 15 years. With innovation being interpreted along the lines of technical progress in key variables, this thes
In recent years measurement techniques and equipment have developed well. The new measurement technology has made companies realize that products not are according to drawings. Meanwhile the products still works as planed and can be sold to customers. The reason that the details are not according to drawings can be traced to a surface with narrow angle tolerance. The project is limited to two sma
What factors should be taken into account in the transfer of knowledge in the construction industry? The report aims to identify the knowledge transfer process in the construction industry between actors in the production. This is done to improve the operators' understanding of the importance of knowledge and see what factors can help to improve the results of the execution.
The physicochemical properties of oat β-glucan have been shown to govern its health benefits by a plethora of studies. However, the effect of the passage through the gastrointestinal tract on the conformational and structural characteristics is not fully explained. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the effect of in vitro gastrointestinal conditions on the structure and conformation of
The research is done in order to analyse management of waste beverage containers in Belarus and the effectiveness of policies implemented to address it. The analysis is followed by exploring whether the introduction of deposit-refund system (DRS) would help to address packaging waste issue in Belarus and, if so, what features the DRS should possess to be effective in current context. The study des
Based on the context of a developing country, this research engages key identified political-economy aspects that influence the operations and performance of the electricity supply industry in Tanzania. Departing from this political-economy perspective, this paper explores dencentralized approaches to rural electrification through agro-industry co-generation and influencing factors behind the slow
