Byggprocessen har en omfattande roll i det infrastrukturella bygget och utgör grunden till en byggnation. Man kan uttrycka byggprocessen som en helhetsbild av hur uppförandet av en byggnad/anläggning går till. Många olika aktörer är involverade i denna process. Byggprocessen innefattar allt från inventeringar, behovsutredningar, gestaltningar till tekniska lösningar, produktion och förvaltning. ÄvThe construction process has a profound role withing the infrastructure, and lais the foundation for the construction itself. It can be described as layout of how the construction will be managed, provided for and organized. Therefore, this process involves several actors. The construction process involves activities such as inventory, needs investigations, designs for technical solutions, product
It has become more important for people worldwide to eat and drink products that offer us health- promoting benefits, which traditional foods do not possess. These kinds of products are called functional foods and have been fortified using vitamins, minerals or probiotics among others. Today, there are a lot of probiotic strains on the market and the first part of the aim of this study was to eval
Trafikverket upphandlar funktionsentreprenader för att öka attraktiviteten hos anläggningsbranschen. I denna upphandlingsform har Trafikverket omvandlat tekniska lösningar till funktionskrav, som i sin tur tillåter entreprenören att komma på egna tekniska lösningar. Trafikverket som beställare behöver veta kvalitén på vägen som levereras i slutet av garantitiden. Kvalitén kan undersökas genom blThe Swedish Transport Administration procures performance contracts to increase the attractiveness of the construction industry. In this procurement, The Swedish Transport Administration has transformed technical solutions into functional requirements. This allows the contractor to develop his own technical solutions. As a customer, The Swedish Transport Administration needs to find out the quali

The structural properties in the ground and the excited states of the hexa-coordinated iron carbene molecule FeIII(phtmeimb)2PF6 were investigated by ultrafast time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS)techniques. Namely X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and Extended X-ray Absorption FineStructure (EXAFS). Data from a time-resolved pump-probe synchrotron radiation experiment was
The aim of this thesis work was to develop a rig to measure the resistivity of a metal sample. The initial testing of the rig would be done at room temperature and calibration of the setup would be done with aluminum samples and then metallic alloys would be studied. The method implemented is a contactless one where the diffusion of eddy currents in a sample is measured by a coil and the resistivi

Quadratic voting has been proposed as a voting procedure that aggregates preferences in a near-utilitarian way. A voter’s optimal strategy is, however, not solely a function of her preferences, but also of her beliefs about how others will vote. This thesis presents a formal model of quadratic voting that, unlike previous models, allows for heterogeneity in the beliefs of voters. The specification
Informed by anti-carceral feminism and theories as well as practices of transformative justice (TJ) and community accountability (CA), this thesis critically investigates court trials in Denmark and calls for further thinking and action in handling harm beyond carcerality. Through observing 11 rape trials, I outline the logics of processing conflicts within the court system, focusing on how they c

Tvister gällande kommersiella entreprenader har historiskt sett avgjorts genom skiljeförfaranden och är därtill undantagna från köplagens tillämpningsområde. Under en lång period har entreprenadrätten varit nästintill frikopplad från den allmänna avtalsrätten. Emellertid har andelen tvister som tagits upp i allmän domstol och som sedermera nått ett avgörande i Högsta domstolen ökat under de senastHistorically, construction contract law has been litigated through arbitration, and it is excluded from the scope of the Sale of Goods Act. For a long period of time, construction contact law has nearly been disconnected from general contract law. However, the proportion of litigations raised in general court and subsequently reaching a judicial decision in the supreme court, has increased in rece

From the standpoint of human rights violations AI-related bias, discriminatory practices, data protection practices and violations or potential infringements on fundamental rights are some of t
Estimating the distance between a sound source and receiver is an important problem. This thesis explores the possibility of estimating distance from a sound source using the attenuations regarding different frequencies over a distance. This method can be useful in cases where currently existing distance approxima- tion methods are not an option. We aimed to use an image recognition convolu- tiona
