När ett entreprenadavtal som införlivat AB 04 hävs, omfattar hävningen endast de ”återstående arbetena”, eftersom de redan utförda arbetena inte kan återgå till entreprenören. Beställaren behåller i stället dessa arbeten, och entreprenören gottskrivs arbetenas värde med hänsyn till eventuella fel. Men vad gäller om fel senare konstateras i de utförda arbetena? AB 04 anger att en garanti- och ansvaWhen a construction contract incorporating AB 04 is terminated, the termination only covers the remaining works, since the work already performed can-not be reversed. The client retains the performed works, and the contractor is credited for their value, taking into account any defects. But what applies if defects are later discovered in the completed works? Since such defects were not considered

Har verkligen denna nya fälla för nattfjärilar vad som krävs för att störta den äldre modellen? LED har börjats använda i större grad bland levandefällor för nattfjärilar, och Lunds Universitet har förut endast köpt en sådan typ av fälla från Nederländerna. Men numera har en liknande version med möjlighet till mer ljus byggs vid Biologiska Insitutionen i Lund, och test har visat att nattfjärilarnaDue to the increasing significance of moth species’ contributions to pollination, and the relatively new advancements of AI and LED within this field of study, there is interest in developing a light trap that is both easier to get a hold of and more adapted to the conditions of a northern country like Sweden. In this study I evaluate one such LED-based Light trap and compare it to a more well-tes

Snabbare kraftöverföring i elbilar med ny teknik Genom att förbättra en central komponent i BorgWarners drivsystem för elbilar kan bilen reagera snabbare, bli effektivare och billigare – utan att öka storlek eller vikt. Många moderna elbilar använder sig av en så kallad Torque Vectoring-teknik för att fördela kraft mellan hjulen och anpassa körningen efter vägförhållanden och körstil. Denna tekniThis master’s thesis investigates the feasibility of alternative actuation methods for the BorgWarner electric Torque Vectoring with Disconnect (eTVD) system. Currently employed in several car models, the existing eTVD system performs admirably. However, BorgWarner’s commitment to technological improvement and the desire to attract potential customers to this unique technique serve as the impetus

To minimize the number of households affected by power outages during faults in the distribution grid, microgrids can be utilized to disconnect from the main grid and supply power locally. When disconnected from the main grid, these systems operate in \textit{island mode} and must remain self-sufficient for a few hours. However, for a fault occurrence within an islanded microgrid, traditional prot

This thesis investigates the concept of synthetic inertia, especially in relation to wind power. Further, the ability of wind power to contribute with frequency regulating ancillary services, through synthetic inertia, to the power system is examined. Synthetic inertia is defined as a concept that encompasses a variety of techniques, production methods, and control strategies that provide the grid

Den första lyckade organtransplantationen var av en njure år 1954, och sedan dess har njurtransplantationer förbättrat livet för de idag över 100 000 patienter globalt som varje år får en ny njure. Mycket av framgångarna är tack vare mediciner som hämmar det adaptiva immunförsvaret, och förhindrar att kroppen attackerar det främmande organet. Den fortsatta utvecklingen av dessa mediciner har lett Kidney transplants are the most common type of organ transplant globally. While immunosuppressants targeting the adaptive immune systems have been successful in improving short-term outcomes, the role of the innate immune system is relatively less studied, and has come under attention as a potential driver of the inflammation causing poor long-term outcomes. In this thesis, sparse statistical meth

Potentialen av tillräcklighet för hållbar proteinkonsumtion Det går att leva ett rikt liv och samtidigt bidra till sänkta växthusgasutsläpp. Genom att fokusera på tillräcklighet kan grundläggande behov uppfyllas samtidigt som tid, energi och pengar kan läggas på sådant som får en att må bra. Vanligen associeras principer om tillräcklighet med minskad materiell konsumtion, men det går också att tilOne measure required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is changed consumption behaviours in affluent contexts. This might be motivated by sufficiency, and while the concept is often related to reduced material consumption, its practical implications regarding food consumption have not been explored to the same extent. To investigate how the literature on sufficient consumption may offer new insig
