To develop sustainable supply chains in a way that their negative environmental and social effects are minimized, shortand long-term targets should be set. The transformation of supply chains towards these targets calls for the development of innovative strategies and the need to continuously identify, classify, and tackle the challenges that can hinder the execution of such strategies. To develop

This paper examines the relation between violent conflicts and democratization in Georgia. Since independence in 1991, Georgia has grown towards increased democratization but within the political transition, many obstacles, in form of violent conflicts and war have threatened the country. In the Democratization and War theory, Mansfield & Snyder argues that increased democracy increases the ri

Popular Abstract in English For several decades the electronic industry has developed towards smaller and smaller electronic components. The idea behind this development is quite simple: Small components have faster response times, which enables faster devices. Also, smaller components make it possible to decrease the size of the devices. A common example is today's mobile phones, that actually arThis dissertation deals with the effects of coherence and correlations on transport through nanostructures. Simulations are mainly performed using the second order von Neumann approach, a method capable of dealing with these effects in the presence of higher order tunneling. We see that such effects can result in various kinds of current suppression as well as efficient thermoelectric devices. Fu

Adverse consequences of global climate change increasingly affect society and economic performance. Climate finance structure supports mitigation and adaptation actions that address climate change. Developing economies are adopting climate adaptation measures to cope with the current climate situation and simultaneously promote sustainable development. The interrelation between climate adaptation

BACKGROUND: Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is an extrahepatic protein that is dependent on glutamate carboxylation, a vitamin K-dependent process. Its dysfunctional form, desphospho-uncarboxylated-MGP, has been associated with increased arterial calcification and stiffness. The aim of this study was to measure the degree of postoperative carboxylation of MGP and two other Gla proteins in patients schedu

One of the main issues in context of the severe economical changes on the local media market and the measures the media companies are forced to take is how to maintain high quality of news journalism in the local press. There are concerns that the quality of news will decline and content will be commercialized as McManus (1994) describes it as a market-driven journalism when profit becomes the leaThe local media organisations in Sweden have the last years been involved in initiating new model of business (Melesko 2013). They have mainly been based on economical actions, as cut-downs of editorial staff, integration of different pressrooms and expanded co-operation between papers within same media organisations (Nygren 2013). For instance, editorials and cover of culture news has on several

Multimodal user interfaces or interfaces that involve the user with several senses could greatly improve usability and accessibility. A mobile phone contains several hardware technologies such as accelerometers, touch screens and vibrators that can be used to support a multimodal user interface, but these capabilities are seldom used. In this thesis multimodal interaction and how two-dimensional

A strong brand requires that the whole company reflects one picture. If one part is not well thought out, this can destroy the picture. Elekta is a human care company whose solutions and services expresses trustworthy and caring. The aim of the project was to create packaging strategy that reflects the company’s profile, to implement a new packaging design. To achieve this, an analysis of the com

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic triggered changed circumstances extensively. One aspect of such changes arise from issues in cross-border supply contracts, for example due to incapability of contractual performance because of entry bans and lack of labor force as the employees were set on quarantines. Usually contractual non-performance leads to breacher’s liability for damages, but exceptio

At the bakery of Lantmannens Farskbrod in Lund there is a storage for approximately 20 000 plastic bakery trays. The aim of this project is to evaluate how a possible fire in these plastic bakery trays would develop, and from this knowledge suggest measures to improve the fire safety. This has been done through several experimental works, calculations and simulations. In the experimental works, di

Popular Abstract in English Plants harvest sunlight to fix air carbon dioxide into a form which is the fundamental source of energy for other organisms such as animals. The domestication of crop plants and traditional breeding practices has resulted in increased yield and nutritional value of crops. This comes at a cost of loss in genetic variability that is required by living organisms to adapt tPotato is one of the major food crops and its yield is severely affected by late blight disease caused by Phytophthora infestans. P. infestans has the ability to manipulate plant defence signalling by secreting effector molecules causing so called effector triggered susceptibility. Some plants can recognize these effectors via resistance proteins that reactivate plant defence and lead to effector

One of the characteristic features of Indian society is its complex caste system which ranks people into hereditary groups. Most importantly, the foundation of caste association was based on the occupation of each group. And the lowest group within this system have historically been excluded and exploited due to their assigned caste-based occupations. Despite implementing affirmative action polici

Since its heyday in the 1960 and 70s, the sociology of literature has been declared dead and gone, yet research related to the field also seems to be reemerging in the first decades of the 21st century. Research relating to the field is scattered across other disciplines, such as literary studies, media studies and cultural studies; indeed, sociology of literature is “everywhere and nowhere”, as J

The massive renewal project of the Sorgenfri industrialestate in Malmö, Sweden, has in many ways followed a familiar story of gentrification.Artists, minority associations, cultural groups and small businesses havebeen displaced from this disused industrial area by a city led urban renewal effort building high-end housing units. However, Sorgenfri plan has also been marked by an ambition to pionee
