Den 1 juli 2018 trädde den nya förvaltningslagen (2017:900) i kraft. I lagen ges enskilda, genom införandet av en dröjsmålstalan, för första gången i svensk förvaltningsrätt en generell rätt att föra talan mot förvaltningsmyndigheters passivitet. Om unionsrätten inte anger annat kommer den nya dröjsmålstalan, enligt principen om medlemsstaternas processuella autonomi, att tillämpas även vid förvalOn the first of July 2018, the new Swedish Administrative Procedure Act came into force. The Act introduces a new remedy against the inaction of administrative authorities (an action for failure to act, in Swedish “dröjsmålstalan”). Through the introduction of the new remedy, individuals are given a general right to appeal against the administrative authorities' inaction for the first time in

This thesis presents an application of machine learning techniques in a search for a high-mass resonance particle decaying into top quark pairs in high energy dijet events using the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Top tagging is applied to the dijet events to select the events with top signature and suppress the background, increasing the sensitivity of the search. All the data used

In this study, the comprehension of English loanword truncations in Japanese will be investigated. Both Japanese native speakers and learners of Japanese will display their ability to truncate different kinds of gairaigo compound loanwords. I wanted to find out how native Japanese speakers and learners of the Japanese language compared in the truncating process. I found out that Japanese natives a

This study explores mediating factors in the relationship between trait everyday sadism and aggressive behavioural styles. This study’s purpose was to uncover the psychological processes underlying this ‘trait-behaviour’ relationship by examining two of these potential mediators; hostile perceptions and biases in emotionality. The study used a mixture of standard personality questionnaires and nov

Research question/s: What are the factors influencing the exploratory capability of a corporate accelerator and how do these factors influence the exploratory capability of a corporate accelerator? Methodology: The study was conducted through a single case study and followed a qualitative research strategy on the corporate accelerator as a new phenomenon of organizational separation. The data was

Glacier advances in the Écrins massif (French Alps) during the Late Glacial and the Early Holocene are poorly constrained. Based on field observations, a high-resolution digital elevation model and an orthophoto, glacial landforms in the upper Drac Blanc catchment were mapped. Thanks to 42 new 10Be exposure ages, the timing of the stabilisation of selected moraines was constrained. The application

Metoderna som används för att göra den globala livsmedelsförsörjningen tryggare har bytt fokus från själva produktionen av jordbruksgrödor till att öka människors tillgänglighet till marknader. Analyser visar att det finns ett samband mellan inkomst, avlägsenhet, och hur stor andel av god jordbruksmark faktiskt används för jordbruk. För att beräkna tillgänglighet krävs fullständig, uppdaterad, ocContemporary approaches to improving food security amongst the world’s vulnerable populations have shifted from attempts to improve crop yield to improving accessibility to markets. Analyses show that there is a correlation between income, distance from cities, and the ratio of potential agricultural production to realised agricultural production. Complete, up-to-date, and reliable road network

This study argues that there is a problem in previous literature regarding theunderstanding of value in city brand communication. Value construction has been overemphasized, at the expenses of value destruction, which is problematic because there is a mutual relationship between value construction and destruction. City brand communication is distorted, and therefore, groups are excluded when inten

Due to its high vulnerability, permafrost is one of the key features studied in the field of climate change impacts. Permafrost is widespread in the Arctic region. The majority of the area underlain by permafrost is however difficult to access for in-situ monitoring and it is difficult to get an overview of the current state of permafrost in many areas. Permafrost modeling provides a solution whi

The purpose of this study is to investigate the barriers of consumer adoption of digital technologies in retail stores. Specifically, this thesis examines the underlying reasons behind consumer reluctance towards the adoption of digital devices in retail stores and how to overcome this customer reluctance towards digital tools in retailing from a consumer perspective. Furthermore, the research ado

It has for long been undecided among critics whether Forster should be counted as belonging to the modernist literary tradition or not. This essay will analyse Howards End’s sea imagery, the notion of the sea when it is used as a symbol or in any other type of imagery. The sea when used as a symbol has several possible interpretations, and these interpretations have connection to the thoughts and

Commercial fishing makes the coastal inlet in Hornafjörður to an important navigational link for the port of Höfn in southeast Iceland. Low water depth caused through sediment accumulation along the ebb shoal generates navigational problems and the phenomenon of glacial rebound seems to intensify this problem. Economic losses caused by the inability of fishing boats to navigate through the coastal

In this thesis, the intrinsic magnetic characteristic of 10 nm FeCr oxide nanoparticles is studied. The nanoparticles is produced using the method of Spark discharge generation. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to characterize the size distribution and coverage of deposited particle. Magnetic characterization is carried out using a magnetometer equipped with superconducting quantum inter

Insect monitoring has earlier been a manual, tedious and time consuming task that is impossible to do in real time. Thus there exists a need for a real time automatic insect monitoring system for counting and classifying insect for use in scientific research and pesticide spraying control. One approach to automatize this is using LIDAR to detect insects. In this thesis it has been explored how to d

I denna studie undersöks samspelet mellan distributionskedjans relationer och logistikaktiviteter. Syftet är att öka förståelsen för hur distributionskedjans relationer och logistikaktiviteterna ser ut och vilket samspel som finns mellan dem. Att kunna belysa vad som är unikt med relationerna och logistikaktiviteterna i en kedja som består av ett flertal aktörer. Frågorna som besvaras i denna stud

Title: Financial Behavior and the Momentum Strategy Seminar date: 2018-05-31 Course: FEKH89, Bachelor’s Degree Project in Financial Management, Business Administration, Undergraduate Level, 15 ECTS Authors: Emil Eliasson, Olle Josefsson, Fredrik Thörning Advisor: Maria Gårdängen Purpose: The authors of this thesis aim to study if it is possible to generate a better Sharpe ratio within the CAPM-th

This diploma project reclaims a soon-to-be expendable coal power plant in the heart of Helsinki and proposes a reuse idea for facilitating a multidisciplinary museum for Finnish visual arts, with an emphasis on spaces for learning and cultural growth.

Thanks to the Internet, User-generated translated (UGT) material has spread at an impressive rate. Not much research exists on the subject as of the writing of this thesis, since it is a relatively new field within Translation Studies. It is an interesting topic worth exploring nonetheless. This phenomenon began in the 1980s, where these fan-translations had to be done by manually changing the vid

Although health disparities among immigrants and natives has been researched quite extensively, the associations with acculturation and health require more attention, especially in Costa Rica where elderly immigrants have been increasing relatively for years and research is scarce. This study explores, with help of a longevity and aging survey (CRELES) and an ordered logit model, how this associat
