En konkurrensklausul är en förpliktelse i konkurrensförebyggande syfte och är ofta förekommande vid företagsöverlåtelser. Vid företagsförvärv som innefattar goodwill och/eller know-how uppkommer ett behov för köparen att söka skydd mot att säljaren, med sitt försprång, efter förvärvet inte startar upp en ny konkurrerande verksamhet. Den rådande konkurrenssituationen kan vara en förutsättning för aA non-competition clause is an undertaking in competition prevention and is frequently used in a company transfers. In the case of company acquisitions that include goodwill and/or expertise, a need arises for the buyer to seek protection that the vendor, with its lead, does not start up a new, competing business after the acquisition. The current competitive situation may be a prerequisite for th

A number of different experiments on a dielectric elastomer, VHB 4910, were performed: uniaxial tensile strain tests, in situ SAXS/WAXS measurements of a sample under uniaxial tensile loading and DIC measurements of an electrically loaded circular sample with simultaneous force measurements around the circular boundary using a novel method developed in this thesis. The results are presented and an

Denna studie ämnar öka förståelsen för hur svenska universitet använder sökmotoroptimering i sitt arbete för att synliggöra information på webben. Studien ämnar även öka förståelsen för hur verksamma inom universitetsbranschen motiverar användningen av och målet med verktyget. Ett varumärkesperspektiv är allomfattande studien och härrör från en utveckling inom universitetsbranschen som genererat eThis study intends to increase the understanding of how Swedish universities use search engine optimization to create web visibility. The study also intends to increase the understanding of how employees in the university sector justify the use and aim of the tool. The research was conducted from a brand perspective, which has derived from the universities need of brand building. The data collecti

This thesis explores the data structure known as sparse voxel octree and how it can improve the performance of real-time ray tracing. While ray tracing is an excellent way of producing realistic effects in computer graphics it is also very computationally heavy. Its use in real-time applications such as games and simulators is therefore limited since the hardware must be able to render enough fram

Denna uppsats undersöker den ovillkorliga basinkomstens kostnad och finansieringsmöjligheter i dagslägets Sverige. Då utbetalningens nivå bör ligga minst vid existensminimum, fastställs hur stor denna summa kan tänkas vara, varefter förslagets totalkostnad beräknas. I uppsatsens huvuddel resoneras det sedan kring vilka av offentlig sektors utgiftsposter som kan ersättas av denna enda utbetalning,

In a society where more and more production becomes automated it demands robots that are as flexible and versatile as humans. Such flexibility demands automatic scheduling of tasks. In this thesis we approach the problem using Constraint Programming and through a case study we present a model for a dual-armed robot that is able to deal with a more flexible workload. We also introduce filters to cu

Habenulas roll vid kronisk smärta Kronisk smärta är ett stort folkhälsoproblem som drabbar ca 20 % av den Europeiska befolkningen. Trots denna höga prevalens är rådande kunskap bristfälligt och modern forskning inom fältet har inte kunnat uppvisa några speciellt åtråvärda resultat. Detta beror delvis på den stora komplexiteten inom smärtfältet, där känslor och andra kognitiva aspekter är en integ

A company is developing a new product for transporting temperature-sensitive liquids long distances. The new device will have an active cooling unit with very precise temperature regulation. This will increase the transportation time compared to conventional methods. This report will only concern the structural parts of the product, since development of the temperature control system has been done

My allotment got me thinking about what wonders nature does to man and our current stressful world we live in. How does the work environment look today and how can we arrange the office to find inspiration and an appetite for knowledge? This led me into the project ”The Working Scene”, the study of the working environments and how we can approve on the office. We are all in some way part of a glo

The main goal of this master thesis project was to take a manually controlled consumer quality quadrocopter and build the foundations which allows it to be autonomously controlled. This was achieved by introducing a exterior frame of reference through the use of a webcam coupled with image analysis algorithms. The position and rotation of the quadrocopter was identified, and several control struct

The Thesis provides an explorative insight into the topics of corporate sustainability, corporate environmental performance and corporate environmental disclosure. Broadly supported by literature review and literature references it contributes to theoretical understanding about how trust, culture, power and governance act as driving forces of corporate environmental performance, and as factors enc

One of the fundamental rights in the European Union is the Freedom of Movement of Persons. This right, that allows citizens of EU Member States to move and reside freely anywhere within the Union is not only a key factor for the European integration project, but is also of substantial economic importance. However, the actual experience of migrants moving within the European Union is not always as

This study looks at the effect international mining corporations have on local economic activity around gold mines in Burkina Faso. It also asks whether the mines have any additional effects, such as changes in poverty or inequality. The study does this by using remote sensing data, particularly nighttime lights, NDVI, and forest loss data to analyze the mine’s effect on the surrounding area. In a

With corporate social responsibility becoming more important to powerful companies, analyzing how the idea of sustainability circulates in a company and influences actors is key to understanding the potential and limitations of corporate social responsibility as companies’ strategic approach to sustainability. Individuals in a company act upon ideas and together form a shared reality. This thesis,

Traditional protest behaviours are motivated by social influences (e.g., Finkel & Opp, 1991), whereby individual differences moderate this effect (Bäck, Bäck, & Garcia-Albacete, 2013). With this experiment it is tested whether the same pathways apply to online activism. For this between-subject design, 75 young to middle-aged adults were tested on the traits of need to belong and rejection

This study emerges from the rising concern that the now widespread faith in renewable energy systems—as a way to deal with the ecological crisis—may be unfounded. Drawing on inspiration from the global peasant movement Via Campesina and their hypothesis that small-scale agriculture is a strategy for “cooling down the Earth”, this study seeks to discuss the reasons for the widespread belief in rene

In the Kallawaya region in the Northern Bolivian Andes musical practices are closely related to the social, natural and spiritual environment: This is evident during the process of constructing and tuning instruments, but also during activities in the agrarian cycle, collective ritual and healing practices, as means of communication with the ancestors and, based on a Kallawaya perspective, during

Syftet är att undersöka hur bostadsrättsföreningens årsredovisning fungerar som informationsunderlag för bostadsrättsköpare. För att uppnå syftet har tre teorier sammanfattats i en teoretisk referensram. Utifrån den teoretiska referensramen har vi analyserat det empiriska materialet utifrån; inhämtning av finansiell information, förståelse av finansiell information och tolkning av finansiell infor

Uppsatsen inriktar sig på att klarlägga möjligheter till överlåtelse av rättigheterna till patenterbara uppfinningar inom byggsektorn. Immaterial-, avtals- och arbetsrättens påverkan på området redogörs för. Den första aspekten som avhandlas är hur rätten till uppfinningen är behandlad inom ramen för anställningen. Gällande lagar, anställnings- och kollektivavtal tas upp i syfte att se vad de tillThis thesis focuses on the clarification of how to transfer rights to patentable inventions within the building sector. The influence Intellectual Property-, contract- and labour law have on the matter is to be accounted for. The first issue to be addressed is how the rights of patenting are to be handled within the frames of employment. Laws in the area, employment agreements and collective agre
