The principal fate during litter decomposition and mineralization is rather well established only for a limited number of elements, mainly essential plant nutrients and a few potentially very toxic metals. Elements which occupy the majority of the positions in the periodical system seems almost unknown in this context. The objectives were, therefore to assess differences in the behavior of 58 mine

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om ledningens förståelse för Revenue Management (RM) påverkar kundens uppfattning om ett rättvist pris. De frågeställningar vi behandlar i uppsatsen är följande; Hur påverkar ledningens förståelse för RM frontpersonalens arbete med verktyget? Hur uppfattar frontpersonal att kunden reagerar på RM? Slutsatser: Teori och fallstudie visar att ledningens förståelse
Att hantera mångfald kan definieras på olika sätt. En betydelse orden kan ha är bland annat att förstå att det finns olikheter bland anställda och att dessa olikheter kan, om de är rätt hanterade, fungera som en tillgång till att arbeta mer effektivt och ändamålsenligt. De flesta forskare inom mångfald anser att mångfald är till fördel, men det finns även andra forskare som ser problemet som mångf

The electron-ion scattering experiment ELISe is part of the installations envisaged at the new experimental storage ring at the International Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany. It offers an unique opportunity to use electrons as probe in investigations of the structure of exotic nuclei. The conceptual design and the scientific challenges of ELISe are presented.
Risk and return go hand in hand, and one way for a firm to mitigate existing and potential investors' risk in a stock is to employ a financial service; liquidity providing. The value of liquidity provision has become relevant as market uncertainties and shocks in the market create disturbances. In addition, the market environment has changed with regulation and the increase of high-frequency t
Devices connected to an Internet-based network, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), are becoming more common both privately in the household or on businesses. Everything from the lighting to coffee makers and washing machines, to the cars in the garage and the door locks can now be equipped with sensors and connected via the Internet to an application by users. Combitech has developed an Intern

We present comprehensive results on continuous atmospheric cluster and particle measurements in the size range similar to 1-42 nm within the European Integrated project on Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality interactions (EUCAARI) project. We focused on characterizing the spatial and temporal variation of new particle formation events and relevant particle formation parameters across Europe. Dif
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
Modern software systems often utilize a distributed architecture, which uses the network as the communication channel. This results in the system being dependent on the network performance to behave as expected. The network performance varies, and network faults can occur, which may negatively affect the system. As a system maintainer, it is difficult to know if the problem lies in the service or
Since the European Union’s inception, creating a well functioning, competitive and integrated market has been at the heart of the Unions project. The four freedoms, free movement of persons, goods, services and capital, which led to the opening of the boarders, have been one of the main forces behind growth in Europe. Today, Europe has become the world’s biggest economy and the Single Market is it
Trots vårt moderna samhälle med ett materiellt överflöd och till synes vägar för alla att vara delaktiga, bidra och få hjälp finns fortfarande grupper i samhället som behöver stöd. Dessa grupper inkluderar bland annat personer med olika former av funktionsnedsättningar, som inte utan hjälp kan vara en aktiv del i samhället, eller i en del fall inte ens ta hand om sig själva. Dessa grupper behöver
Purpose: To evaluate short- to midterm outcomes of medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL) using patient-reported outcome measures and functional testing. Methods: Twenty-four patients were examined regarding knee function after MPFL reconstruction, with a mean follow-up time of 45.3 ± 18.4 months since surgery. Knee function was evaluated using the Tegner score, VAS, the knee injury
This paper discusses how various actors communicate about and coordinate sea rescue activities in networks. We combine a network approach with theories of inter-organization communication to understand how communication can facilitate or limit coordination in networks. Search and rescue officers retain the overall authority to direct rescue missions, and coordination with several other professions
Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) number concentrations alongside with submicrometer particle number size distributions and particle chemical composition have been measured at atmospheric observatories of the Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research InfraStructure (ACTRIS) as well as other international sites over multiple years. Here, harmonized data records from 11 observatories are summarized,
Background: 27-Hydroxycholesterol (27HC) stimulates estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer (BC) progression. Inhibiting the sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) abrogates these growth-promoting effects of 27HC in mice. However, the significance of CYP27A1 expression on BC biology and prognosis is unclear. Methods: Intratumoral CYP27A1 expression in invasive BC was measured by immunohistochemist
