In later time many companies have faced a major strategically change of focus and companies that have previous acted as traditional product manufacturers now describe themselves as providers of complete solutions. Tetra Pak Processing Systems, operating in the liquid food processing industry, has faced an increased level of competition the past years. The globalization of the industry means that c
This thesis is an attempt to understand how the traditional female gender identity is constructed and what kind of structures that are maintaining it. I also study how this identity is reflected in young women's conception of themselves and in their views upon whether they should sign in to the military service or not. The theoretical framework that I use mainly consists of theories about gen
This thesis analyzes moral argumentation and meaning creation in the process of programmatic policy formulation in the Christian People's Party and Socialist People's Party in Denmark, and the Christian Democratic Party and Left Party in Sweden, focusing specifically on their policy deliberations about the European Community and the European Union from 1990-1996. The primary emphasis is not on pol
Nearly US$25 trillion is currently invested through Collective Investment Vehicles (hereinafter: “CIVs”) worldwide. CIVs calculate net asset values (hereinafter: “NAV”) on a daily basis, since such values are the basis for subscriptions and redemptions. In calculating net asset values, a CIV must take into consideration any withholding tax benefits by applicable tax treaties. CIVs require certaint
People appear to vary in their susceptibility to lifestyle risk factors for cardiometabolic disease; determining a priori who is most sensitive may help optimize the timing, design, and delivery of preventative interventions. We aimed to ascertain a person's degree of resilience or sensitivity to adverse lifestyle exposures and determine whether these classifications help predict cardiometabolic d
Integration of fiber modification step with a modern pulp mill is a resource efficient way to produce functional fibers. Motivated by the need to integrate polymer adsorption with the current pulping system, anion-specific effects in carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) adsorption have been studied. The QCM-D adsorption experiments revealed that CMC adsorption to the cellulose model surface is prone to an
The incidence of melanoma is rising, increasing the need for efficient diagnostics. Excisional biopsy and histopathology remain the “gold standard” but often require multiple surgical incisions due to limitations in making a visual assessment of melanoma borders either by eye or using dermatoscopy. This challenge partly arises from the inability to non-invasively produce the necessary spectral con
Background. The estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is one tool to detect renal disease. The most used biomarker remains serum creatinine and the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFCcrea ) equation is the most validated in Europe. More recently, cystatin C has been proposed as a biomarker. We studied the performances of the EKFC equations in a large cohort of subjects according to
Introduction: Discordant results between cystatin C and creatinine in estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are an important medical issue. However, the equation that should be used when GFR estimates are discordant remains unclear. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis included 15,485 participants with GFR measured by the clearance of an exogenous marker, serum creatinine, and cystatin C.
Semi-open ecosystems, such as savannas and open woodlands, are biodiversity hotspots due largely to their heterogeneous tree cover (TC), which supports diverse habitats. However, increasing woody encroachment is altering TC heterogeneity, with unclear consequences for ecosystem stability. Using global satellite-based TC estimates (2000–2020), we reveal widespread TC homogenization (24.1%) in semi-
Net primary production (NPP) is the difference in gross photosynthetic assimilation of carbon and carbon loss due to autotrophic respiration, and is an important ecosystem variable that facilitates understanding of climate change impacts on terrestrial ecosystem productivity and ecosystem services. The aim of this study is to rapidly estimate the NPP of European potential natural vegetation for cu
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det görs en rad försök till demokratisk förnyelse ute i kommunerna. I denna avhandling är det min ambition att analysera ett sådant försök; medborgarutskotten i Helsingborg. De frågeställningar avhandlingen behandlar är 1) vad ligger bakom samtalets betoning i medborgarutskottens deltagardemokratiska aktiviteter? 2) Hur positioneras kommuninvånare som medborgare då medThis is a study of civic communication in a municipal setting. In the south Swedish municipality of Helsingborg operated Civic Committees between 2003 and 2006. The Civic Committees organized different kinds of activities together with the citizens out in the different neighbourhoods of the municipality, such as open meetings, neighbourhood walks, workshops for the future and meetings with specifi
This thesis examines how the restrictive doctrine of state immunity is approached and applied in Sweden. The thesis focuses on disputes involving the distinction between sovereign and commercial acts in general, and employment disputes in particular. The thesis uses a legal dogmatic method with elements of legal analysis, where the analysis is primarily based on case law from the Supreme Court o

Skogar tillhandahåller en mångfald av produkter och tjänster som alla är kopplade till vattenresurser. Träd behöver vatten för att växa och samtidigt förändrar träd kvalitén och kvantiteten av avrinningen genom modifiering av vatten- och näringsämneskretsloppet. Förståelsen av samspelet mellan skog och vatten är grundläggande för att kunna utvärdera konsekvenserna av naturlig och antropogen påverk
