The commissioning phase is the last phase of a construction project when all subsystems come together to be tested as a whole, working as a single entity. This phase is often the most crucial and time-sensitive part of the project as the construction occupies space in the factory and inflicts down¬time in processes without adding value. Faults found in this phase can be time-consuming to correct a

En tingsrättsförhandling sker inom ramen för en specifik social kontext. När en kvinna dessutom är tilltalad i brottmål så överskrids ett normativt kvinnligt beteende. Det som skildras under rättegångens muntliga framföranden kan återspegla sociala normer och parternas förhållningssätt till dem. Syftet med den föreliggande uppsatsen är att undersöka om genus- och offernormer återfinns i andra aktö

This study examines what challenges organisations might face when supporting their employees in self-directed learning. Self-directed learning, SDL, is a learning process where learners are responsible for identifying their learning needs, setting learning goals, initiating the learning process and evaluating the results. Previous research has shown the benefits of having self-directed learners as

Syftet med denna studien var att undersöka om porrkonsumtion och traditionella maskulina normer predicerar kvinnoobjektifiering. Studien ämnade att bidra med kunskap och psykologisk forskning om effekterna av pornografi eftersom pornografins roll i samhället är större än de senaste decennierna och relativt outforskad. Datainsamlingen producerades genom en digital enkätundersökning som besvarades aThe aim of this study was to examine if pornographic consumption and traditional masculine norms can predict the objectification of women. Furthermore, the purpose of exploring the subject of the study was to contribute with knowledge and psychological research about the effects of pornography as pornography’s’ role in contemporary society is greater than in recent decades and relatively unexplore

Syftet med detta arbete är att utreda hur man kan implementera och optimera användningen av en inspektionsrobot, på en byggarbetsplats. Detta examensarbete grundar sig i en fallstudie, där användningen av en inspektionsrobot vid skyddsronder undersöks. Fallstudien bygger på material som samlats in från roboten, intervjuer och observationer. Utöver fallstudien har det även genomförts en litteratur

This thesis explores the impact of extreme weather events during gestation and infancy on multiple outcomes, especially early labour income. The subjects are Indian children born between 1993/94 from the Young Lives longitudinal study. The weather shocks are extracted from the NOAA geo-referenced weather data. Thanks to Mediation Analysis methodology applied, not only the Direct Effects of early l

As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting restrictions, many companies found themselves in the reality that they had to conduct their business operations from home. The pandemic has heightened the need for Professional Service Firms (PSFs) to shrink, pivot, re-invent themselves, as well as redeploy organisational culture and resources dramatically, abruptly, and possibly disrupti

Older persons’ rights are increasingly penetrating the Human Rights discourse in response to the surging aging of the world population. Old-age pension schemes are designed to protect older persons against vulnerabilities once they resign from the job market. In 2018, Georgia adopted a new contributory Accumulated Old-age Pension scheme which operates alongside the existing non-contributory State

The ‘killer acquisition’ -phenomenon has been a subject of heated discussion for past several years. It usually describes as a situation where the target company, commonly a start-up, is acquired by an incumbent and its innovation products are discontinued. This leads to a loss of both competition and innovation, causing a harm to consumer welfare. Their prevalence is still mostly unknown, but res

The development of a new wireless access infrastructure can introduce some exciting new applications that are impossible to deploy with the current generation communication infrastructure. Therefore the REINDEER project presents a new distributed cell-free network infrastructure called RW, that creates favourable propagation and antenna array interaction. As part of the project's solution to a

Purpose: A Contribution to the understanding of plant-based consumption by researching how bodybuilders navigate identity issues associated with a plant-based diet. Theoretical Perspective: We take on a consumer culture theory perspective by researching identity theory, stigma, lifestyle transitioning, and legitimization strategies of the subculture. Methodology/Empirical Data Collection: Induc

New research suggests that the key to explaining the development gap might be resilience to shrinking instead of increasing growth rates. Latin America is considered an improving region from the growth rate point of view in development, but not so much from the shrinking perspective. Plus, country case study is needed as the region itself is highly heterogenous. One of the countries that has lagge

The health of the financial system has vital influence on the economic growth and development of a country. Banking systems are a key component of the financial systems and therefore, the economic importance of banks should never be underestimated. However, it is not just the financial performance of these banks that determines their success in the economic arena but also, their resilience leve

The question of Palestine remains one of the most salient dilemmas for policymakers and scholars interested in Middle Eastern and international affairs due to its protracted nature, the many structural limitations it is subject to, and the human and material costs it continues to generate. This thesis explores the current opportunities for regional cooperation in the MENA region around the Palesti

The blue economy emerged as sustainable, inclusive and equitable alternative to traditional oceans economy. However, the current paradigm of oceans as development spaces has led to an acceleration of competing uses of marine resources causing ecosystem deterioration and human rights abuses that disproportionately affect vulnerable small-scale fisheries. Blue justice movements seek to reconcile env

The impact of COVID-19 had unprecedented effects on the international labour market. Businesses went bankrupt, employees were fired, and organisations and employees had to adapt to swiftly working remotely from the office. Extensive studies have been conducted concerning the transition from in-person to remote work, but less so on how the transition from remote work to in-person work in a post-COV

ABSTRACT Strukturförändringar inom industrin i kombination med ny sjöfartsteknologi och utbyggda väg- och järnvägsnät innebar omvälvningar i Sveriges hamnar. Under andra hälften av nittonhundratalet skedde stora förändringar i många av kusthamnarna, såväl volymmässigt som lokaliseringsmässigt och organisatoriskt. I denna studie dras paralleller kring hur hamnrörelsen utvecklades i tre skilda regio

På neonatalavdelningen i Lund bedrivs högspecialicerad vård av barn som föds i för tidig gestalationsålder. I december 2020 skedde en brand i sjukhusets källare, detta resulterade i att brandskyddet på avdelningen förbättrades då brister upptäcktes under branden. Denna rapport är huvudmomentet i kursen Brandteknisk riskvärdering på Lunds Tekniska Högskola. I rapporten analyseras och utvärderas detOn the neonatal ward in Lund a higly specialized medical care is practised on infants born in a to early gestalation age. In december 2020 there was a fire in the hospitals basement which resulted in improving the fire protection in the ward when flaws where discoverd after the fire. This report is the main part of the course fire protection risk evaluation on Lunds Techincal University. In the re

All government controlled business is controlled by the law of public procurement and its five fundamental principles. If these are not fulfilled the procurement is at risk of being subject to a review procedure, which requires both time and money. Therefore it is important to ensure the quality of these processes for contracting authorities such as Region Skåne, especially in conjunction with the
